AUSTRALIA TURNED ORANG UTANS AS PRISONERS
Posted on Thursday, October 28, 2010 by meirizka
I had a trip to Melbourne, Australia last month. Besides visiting places, I decided to go to Zoos Victoria! Why? Because I have been hearing numerous news that various states in Australia is allowing their NGOs to campaign about Orang Utan habitat loss & the oil palm industry! This is such an unethical move by the Australians!!!
When I visited the Zoo in Melbourne, a worker that directed me to the area where orang utans are placed said "poor orang utans, Malaysian & Indonesia have been killing them". That lady have no idea I was a Malaysian. Once I entered, all that came to my mind was It's a PRISON for orang utan!!! It was caged and not given the real feel of forest plantation where they always get their food and meet other habitats in Malaysia.
These are some of the pictures I have taken during the visit...the Aussies are making big bucks from placing our national icon in their zoos. I read an article from Dr. Yusof Basiron and let me quote what he highlighted 'Annually, Australian farmers exports RM389 million (2009)worth of live animals and meat to Malaysia in addition to the exports of huge amount of cereals. Malaysian farmers in exchange export (a lower amount) RM 306 million worth of palm oil to Australia. Have they for a moment stopped to ponder that the oil palm farmers could very well ask their government to retaliate and Malaysia may have to look elsewhere for the supply of beef and live animals worth RM 389 million? It is also likely that Indonesian oil palm farmers will ask their government to join the retaliation and further damage could be inflicted to the beef and live animal trade as Indonesia is a bigger importer of beef from Australia as compared to Malaysia'.

How much does Australians know about Malaysian palm oil industry and the wildlife conservation efforts undertaken here? They should come to Malaysia visit the various Orang Utan sanctuaries in the states of Sabah and Sarawak.
They have ample time to listen to some 'green' NGOs to banned palm oil. Oh give us a break, we know better how to handle it here! Scientific researches are everywhere BUT the typical Aussies choose to be ignorant.
Am sure everyone know by now that oil palm industry has helped reduced poverty. We are planting oil palm trees on a legitimate agricultural land that provides food, job, income and revenue for the people. We do replanting and that is moreover reason we do not need to clear forest! These wonderful crop produces oxygen for the planet. Why would we even harm the orang utans when they love to live in the forest plantation area freely!
So Aussies please wake up, you want to debate about oil palm, don't do it without facts, come see us and get your brain a little extra knowledge please!
