Segamat DO Dismantles Swiftlet Farm

China Press reported that enforcement officers from the Segamat district council had dismantled 100 sets of loudspeakers which were used to attract swiftlets in a 20-storey building, following a court order.

Residents living near the building in the town area had often complained about the noise from the building.

Apparently, three swiftlet farming operators had been using the building to breed swiftlets which are prized for their nests.

The paper quoted council secretary Mustaffa Kamal Shamsuddin as saying the council faced difficulty in acting against swiflet farming because although the state government had banned it, the federal government continued to issue permits.
