Guidelines on swiftlet farming in Sabah will be enforced on Jan 1 next year.
The
Sabah Tourism, Culture and Environment Ministry, through the state
Wildlife Department, will issue guidelines on swiftlet farming.
However,
ministry permanent secretary Datuk Michael Emban said swiftlet farm
owners would be given 24 months to comply with the stipulated
regulations.
The regulations, he said, included prohibiting
swiftlet farming in urban areas such as cities, towns and housing areas,
at public places and water catchment areas.
He also said swiftlet houses would not be allowed to be built near airports.
Owners
of swiftlet farms located in the stipulated prohibited areas would be
given 24 months from Jan 1 to move their operations elsewhere, he told a
media conference at his office here yesterday.
Emban said
swiftlet farmers were also required to obtain the necessary documents,
such as a permit from the local authorities and the Wildlife Department
to carry out their operation or to import and export the bird's nests.

Swiftlet Farmers Association chairman Datuk Kour Nam Ngum said there
were about 4,000 swiftlet houses in Sabah, involving investments of
almost RM500mil
