My fellow blogger and countryman Jahaniwalit wrote in his blog in Bahasa Malaysia on the above and I would like to translate into English for the benefit of my readers.
First : The swiftlet industry have successfully produced many silent millionaires. The secret of the dark house have been unveiled. The dark house is no more a secret because many had known about it. The enthusiasm to invest in this industry has become a new phenomena in Malaysia. Many investors dared to invest by the millions. In fact many dared to take the risk knowing that they do not have the authority's approval..
Second : The swiftlet industry can be inherited by the future generations. The children who will inherite this business do not need skill to continue and manage this business. It is very different from other businesses. For example, if you open a computer business, your children need to acquire computer knowledge to manage like you.
Third : The swiftlet industry is not related to the pharmaceutical industry which depends on the patients for demand. It is a kind of food the has been proven to be good for health since the Tang Dynasty era in China. It has become the health food of the elite and it is very much trusted by the Chinese community. China's economy is expected to expand faster than the American economy. Because of this, there will always be demand for bird nests and will increase with more consumers having the economic edge. (rich man diet). Whereever there is a Chinese community, there exist a market demand for bird nests. With that, the market for bird nests is guaranteed, for now and in future.
Fourth : Swiftlet business is unique because it does not need a working capital or operation cost to run it. If there is any, it is only the cost of electricity and water which is very minimal. It need not close supervision unlike other businesses.
Fifth : Swiftlet business do not need high skill to manage. When the swiftlets start making nests, the owner only need to harvest and sell them. Even when they are not processed the price is still high.
Sixth : Swiftlet business from the investment aspect pelaburan, the capital requirement is relative to the size of the building and there is no standard size. Investment size is dependant on your capability and ability. If the building is an existing building like a shophouse, the owner only need to renovate. So, the fixed capital is only once but the profit obtained is continuous as long as the building continue to exist.
Seventh : Swiftlet business can be carried out anywhere. Study carried out by Wild Life showed almost all the places in Malaysia are suitable to build bird houses.
Eighth: Swiftlet business can be carried out individually or shared. Oleh can be carried out by coperatives or institutions which are successful. If shared with friends, it is not to have misunderstanding and dissatisfaction because the door can have separate padlocks and keys. All partners must come at the same time to open their individual padlock before they can enter to harvest the nests.
Nineth: Swiftlet business can be carried out part-time, because you need not have to give full attention to it. If you are a civil servant, you can own a bird house because it does not disturb your work as a civil servant. Its also the same if you are a restaurant owner, a goldsmith or involved in any other business. Even if you are a politician, it will not disturb your activities. You can still continue with your routine without being interrupted by your swiftlet business.
Tenth: Swiftlet business can create other downstream industries. Swiftlet industry is not just about selling raw nests. Raw nests can be processed to add value. The price of processed and cleaned nests is almost one fold that of raw nests. Other downstream industries can be created like bottling of drinks, processed as nutritious food and others alike.
If my readers have decided to get involved in the swiftlet industry after reading the above, I am willing to help. Readers can call, email or skype me.
