Biotechnology, the future and hope for Malaysia's agriculture

I've just returned from the Capital City after witnessing the long awaiting execution of the various agreements between the directors of Microwell Sdn Bhd (a biotech base company) and Commerce-KNB Agro Teroka Sdn Bhd (the fund managers for Microwell)

It is a remarkable effort of my friend, the local independent scientist En. Nasaruddin Abdullah. The man who would definitely change the course of history of the agriculture industry in this country. A hard working research-base young man who shows no nonsense attitude in striving what is best for the country that in the very near future be a major player that will shape Malaysia agricultural policy.

I'm happy to be part of the company as their legal advisor whereby I have helped registered two wonderful patents involving biotechnology and genetic engineering for agriculture produce and aquaculture. Never have I seen the rate of growth in paddy farming which we are able to harvest more than 6 tonnes per hectare per season compare to the usual 3 tonnes per hectare per season. Not only that we are able to harvest more paddy but we are able to have more than two seasons a year. Thus able to cause such growth that will be good for agriculture produce in this country.

I'm also happy to note that our paddy farming in Seberang Perak (a joint venture with Felcra) took off with such great result ready to yield in early July. The paddy plant grew to over three feet compare to the other Felcra neighbouring paddy plots whereby the growth stunted to a merely two feet and having said that suffered pest and mice invasion. Whereas due to the biotechnology making of ours, our plots are literally free from any of these 'perosak'.

I'm so impressed of such good works that some days, this will make us, MICROWELL a major player of agriculture produce that WILL be free from political manoeuvre and hands. We do not have any political agenda except to say 'please stay out and let us do our work' as we want Malaysia to be a better place to live.
