PALM OIL SHORTIES COMPETITION

Posted on Tuesday, September 07, 2010 by meirizka

Let's take a look at how students do their part in spreading awareness on palm oil through film!

I was invited by a friend to attend the Palm Oil Shorties Competition Award held in Aliyaa Restaurant Damansara Heights, Kuala Lumpur recently.

I know somehow there were many issues pertaining to palm oil in Malaysia. I feel many of us are aware of the basics; palm oil is for cooking! But we may have overlooked the factor that it also helps poverty eradication, helping the poor for a better living and a very sustainable wonderful crop! This inaugural competition aims at increasing public awareness on the subject of palm oil, and to highlight the positive aspects of the million dollar industry. 

Really impressed when Fried Chillies a local media group that took the initiative to come up with this competition. During the award show, I noticed many youth group were interested in this topic as it is about Malaysia their home country and the crop that provides food for millions around the world. Their interest were shown via short films and I would like to share the links for your viewing!

I have to congratulate the team for this excellent effort and also congratulate Steven Yap the Palm Oil Shorties 2010 Winner.

Looking forward for more of this activities to get our people to appreciate palm oil! The more we know the more we can defend it from the western NGOs that endlessly attacks on Malaysian Palm Oil!
