Swiftlet,Ranching,Governing Body

GUWAHATI: Indian authorities in Assam state have introduced a Bill that would require Muslims to register their marriages and divorces, with the chief minister claiming the measure will help stop child marriages.

KOTA KINABALU: A governing body is needed to look after the growing swiftlet ranching industry in Sabah, says a former state assistant minister.

“Thus, there is an urgent need to establish a governing body dedicated to assisting the swiftlet nest industry in Sabah,” he said, in a statement here on Friday . The establishment of KBBN, he said, is not just a necessity but a strategic move to safeguard the future of the industry, he said. "Therefore, a governing body could establish pricing guidelines based on market trends, quality assessments, and international benchmarks, ensuring that ranchers are compensated fairly for their efforts and are protected from exploitation by middlemen," he said.
