Daging kerbau warnanya agak gelap berbanding daging lembu kemerah-merahan, rasanya juga berbeza dimana daging kerbau uratnya agak kasar manakala daging lembu halus. ( orang tua-tua kata daging kerbau kurang berbisa berbanding daging lembu, terutama kepada pesakit darah tinggi ).

ALOR SETAR: “Orang ramai diingatkan tidak keliru mengenai status daging import dari India kerana ia daging kerbau yang dijual pada harga murah, bukan daging lembu,” kata Menteri Pertanian dan Industri Asas Tani, Datuk Seri Noh Omar.

Beliau berkata, ramai pengguna tidak tahu daging import India yang dikenali sebagai daging kotak dan dipasarkan secara meluas di negara ini adalah daging kerbau.

Katanya, daging kerbau yang dijual di pasaran ketika ini juga dari gred biasa membolehkannya dijual pada harga lebih rendah menyebabkan ramai pengguna membandingkannya dengan harga daging tempatan.

“Kita tidak mahu rakyat keliru dan menganggap daging kotak sebagai daging lembu sedangkan tidak ada langsung daging lembu dibawa masuk dari India.

“Setiap tahun 80,000 tan metrik daging kerbau import dari India dibawa masuk ke negara ini dan ia popular di kalangan rakyat t berpendapatan rendah.

“Di pasaran ketika ini, daging kotak jauh lebih murah iaitu antara RM8 dan RM10 sekilogram,” katanya.

Oklah Restoran 1 Malaysia

Beberapa hari lepas, saya berkesempatan singgah bersarapan di restoran rakyat 1 Malaysia Kuala Lumpur. 4 kali pusing baru dapat parking yang berhampiran. Semuanya kena layan diri, maksudnya air teh pun kita kena ambil sendiri. Singkatnya semua kita kena ambil sendiri, macam dalam rumah semua dah dimasak kemudian kita ambil sendiri. Dari segi rasa, bagi saya yang tak kisah, oklah. Mungkin sebab harganya murah kot. Tehnya kerana kita ambil sendiri 60 sen saja. Roti canai kosong 40 sen.

Sabah to make plea on Labuan bridge: CM

Kuala Penyu: The State Government hopes the Federal Government will study the possibility of building a bridge linking the Federal Territory of Labuan and Menumbok, on the mainland. Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman said the State would submit a proposal for the construction of the bridge to the Federal Government."Construction of the bridge can indirectly contribute to the economic growth of Menumbuk, Kuala Penyu and Labuan," he added. He said this in response to a statement by Federal Territory and Urban Wellbeing Minister Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin that the government was looking into ways to shorten the travelling distance between Menumbok to Labuan. However, Raja Nong said although the Government had agreed to do a study on the feasibility of such a project, it was not made as a promise. His statement was criticised by various quarters, including the opposition, which said the bridge proposal was discussed for 15 years and abandoning it was like dropping a bombshell to the island's 90,000 residents and countless others on the mainland. More so when RM5 million was spent on a joint study involving Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia and Universiti Malaysia Sarawak whose findings showed that a bridge was essential in view of the unpredictable and poor ferry service and coupled with the limited access to the duty-free island. Meanwhile, Musa said the Government has never neglected the fishing community in Sabah and is committed to develop the state's fishing industry. Musa, who is also the State Finance Minister, said various incentives were made in the national and state budgets to lift the living standard and well-being of the fishing community. This included bringing in modern technology from the west to develop the state's fishing industry for the benefit of local fishermen. As such, the people should appreciate efforts made by the Government to transform the fishing industry, he said when opening the Fishermen's Festival at Pantai Mempakul, Menumbok here. Musa advised the fishing community there to not be influenced by the claim made the opposition parties that they were left out in the country's mainstream development.

Empangan bekal air ke sawah padi tidak berfungsi jejas 33 petani

KENINGAU: Empangan yang membekal air sawah padi Kampung Penagatan Laut yang tidak berfungsi akibat pengorekan batu pasir di Sungai Pegalan yang tidak terkawal menyebabkan kawasan sawah 33 petani membabitkan keluasan kira-kira 75 ekar kering kontang pada musim ini. Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Kemajuan dan Keselamatan Kampung (JKKK) Kg. Penagatan Laut, Lahamin Wasibin, berkata empangan yang tidak berfungsi itu menyebabkan padi yang telah ditanam pada musim ini terjejas dan sebahagiannya tidak tumbuh kerana ketiadaan saliran air. Beliau mendakwa saliran air ke sawah padi penduduk tidak berfungsi disebabkan kegiatan mengorek batu pasir oleh salah sebuah syarikat kuari di Sungai Pegalan. “Padi yang ditanam oleh petani pada musim ini tidak menjadi kerana tidak mendapat bekalan air disebabkan saliran air tidak berfungsi,” katanya kepada New Sabah Times di sini kelmarin. Justeru Lahamin yang prihatin dengan masalah anak-anak buah jagaannya meminta pihak yang berkenaan terutama Jabatan Alam Sekitar (JAS) supaya memantau kegiatan syarikat kuari yang menjalankan kegiatan mengorek batu pasir di Sungai Pegalan berhampiran Kg. Penagatan Laut.“Perkara ini perlu perhatian dan tindakan segera kerana ia membabit kepentingan petani yang bergantung pada hasil padi untuk menampung sumber beras mereka,” tegas Lahamin. Lahamin yang juga Ketua Cawangan Umno Kg. Penagatan Laut berkata, beliau sudah mempunyai senarai lengkap petani yang terlibat untuk dikemukakan kepada pihak yang berkenaan.“Sebagai pemimpin diperingkat kampung yang terlibat dengan masalah ini, saya tidak menekan Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran kerana jabatan ini sudah menjalankan tanggungjawab dengan baik tetapi apabila kegiatan mengorek batu pasir di pesisir Sungai Pegalan yang menjadi sumber saliran air ke sawah penduduk dijalankan tidak mengikut perundangan menyebabkan masalah itu timbul,” jelas Lahamin. Beliau menambah, sistem saliran sudah ada tetapi air tidak mengalir kerana sistem saliran terjejas akibat hakisan tebing Sungai Pegalan kerana operasi syarikat kuari.

Sanctions Fail to Block Iran's Supply of Veterinary Medicine

TEHRAN (FNA)- Sanctions have failed to deter Iran from supplying its needed drugs for animals, Head of the Iranian Veterinary Organization Mohsen Dastoor said Sunday, adding that embargos have actually pushed the country towards domestic production. "Although sanctions have created some problems for currency transfer, all needs to vaccines, drugs and even their raw materials have been met and there is no problem in this regard," he said. Iran has managed to produce several types of medicines, including hi-tech pharmaceutical products used for treating various kinds of diseases despite the sanctions imposed against the country. Washington and its Western allies accuse Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons under the cover of a civilian nuclear program, while they have never presented any corroborative evidence to substantiate their allegations. Iran denies the charges and insists that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only. Despite the rules enshrined in the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) entitling every member state, including Iran, to the right of uranium enrichment, Tehran is now under four rounds of UN Security Council sanctions and the unilateral western embargos for turning down West's calls to give up its right of uranium enrichment. Tehran has dismissed the West's demand as politically tainted and illogical, stressing that sanctions and pressures merely consolidate Iranians' national resolve to continue the path. Political observers believe that the United States has remained at loggerheads with Iran mainly over the independent and home-grown nature of Tehran's nuclear technology, which gives the Islamic Republic the potential to turn into a world power and a role model for the other third-world countries.

Work Right.

Kempen kesedaran begini perlu ada dalam iklan-iklan tv Malaysia. Namun kalau setakat iklan saja, tapi tiada penyelasaiannya, tak guna juga. Kadang kala pekerja kena bertindak sendiri. Sebabnya tindakan dari pihak-pihak berkenaan lambat atau tersekat. Renung-renungkan.
