Scary!!!! Sabah State had prohibited all imports of Pork into the State, what about the whole Malaysia??????? There are Pork selling stalls along the road of Sungai Dua near Tesco. I hate walking there from USM Sungai Dua gate even when the stalls were closed. Rather walk from Gelugor Gate than being splashed with water from Pork stalls. The non-Muslim Chinese restaurants there too are soo dirty. When will Malaysia take out those Swine from each states?? Malaysia is the country with majority Muslim, why should we listen to minority non-Muslims who are not even natives? We also have to respect non-Muslims customs when we are in their countries. There are a lot more food that can be eaten than Swine, why they have to choose pork? If beef is not delicious than try vegetable dish, fishes, sea shells, lentils, prawn, shrimp, mutton, camel meat and etc.

I think that we have like 3-5 million pigs nationwide... we export it to singapore...


In 2002, there are about 7,200,000 domestic consumers of pork in Malaysia... where they consumed 2,574,000 pigs (154,400 metric tonnes) ... consumption of pork in Malaysia was 21.5kg per person in 2002.

In 1996, there were 2,448,020 pigs in Malaysia of which: Negeri Sembilan (26.95%); Perak (23.14%); Selangor (15.98%); Johor (14.79%); Penang (11.21%); Malacca (6.88%); Other States (1.05%)

In 2001, there were 1,563,020 pigs in Malaysia of which: Perak (29.50%); Penang (19.67%); Johor (17.84%); Selangor (16.41%); Malacca (15.12%); Negeri Sembilan (0.1%); Other States (1.36%)

I have not seen anything that shows it is passed from pigs, or pork to Humans. It seems that nearly all of the recent cases have been passed from Human to Human. It may have originated in swine, but that is no longer the main way it is transmitted. Seems we have more to fear from travelers arriving from countries where it is epidemic than from local pig farmers. We should avoid pigs, but there does not seem to be any reason to fear catching swine flu from them.

Are the people who have swine flu isolated?

Only if they are recent arrivals from another country.

I think we have all become too softened and now fear every disease that comes along. Precautions are good, but irrational fear is needless. Overall the health of the general populace is many times better than when I was a child. The diseases we had to fear such as Polio, smallpox, typhoid, etc have been either eliminated or are now reasonably controlled.

And before I was born it was even worse:

Compare this flu epidemic with the epidemic of 1918 (22 years before I was born)

The Influenza Pandemic of 1918

The influenza pandemic of 1918-1919 killed more people than the Great War, known today as World War I (WWI), at somewhere between 20 and 40 million people. It has been cited as the most devastating epidemic in recorded world history. More people died of influenza in a single year than in four-years of the Black Death Bubonic Plague from 1347 to 1351. Known as "Spanish Flu" or "La Grippe" the influenza of 1918-1919 was a global disaster.

Ya Rabbana, so ashamed to Allah, our country is still with high consumption of swine. Then, we are still not a Muslim Nation, it is just a dream :cry:. We never follow what Quran had taught strictly. So disappointing imsad:cry:! Although in certain degree I do not agree with KSA, but in the matter of banning Haram products, daily congregational prayers in mosque and also the banning of idols, I really agree with them.

We had a traumatic experience in 1999

[PIE]

Nipah virus was identified in 1999 when it caused an outbreak of neurological and respiratory disease on pig farms in peninsular Malaysia, resulting in 105 human deaths and the culling of one million pigs.

[/PIE]
 
That Nipah Virus is Japanese Enciphilitis or the different one? It is spread by mosquitoes but the source of the virus is swine.
