The BA ALIF BA YA project in Sepang

I think those of you who are familiar with the Jawi script will know what BA ALIF BA YA means but for those who don’t, I am referring specifically to the proposed pig farm mega project in Sepang and not Neil Crespi .com. Truth to be told, I personally do not have a problem with it. Even though BA ALIF BA YA meat is forbidden to Muslims and are considered unclean, I realise that this project is meant to be a centralised project which in time will reduce pig farms in the state and lessen pollution to the environment, which can only benefit us more. However I have an ear to the grassroots and many are very unhappy with the proposed project. In fact I am sad to say that “very unhappy” is a total understatement. Some people need to understand that the BA ALIF BA YA is something which affects very deeply (and negatively, I might add) in the Malay psyche.
