Singaporean news channel provides better documentary and news coverage about Malaysia than own media

[@johanjohan2173]

Great

[@Cik_Siput.Luar_Biasa]

Indeed…

[@jay291]

As a Singaporean, I just want to say who cares. This is called Channel News ASIA. Better or worse, it doesn't matter. As long as it's informative and interesting.

[@lkl7045]

As a Malaysian, these CNAInsider I have to admit.

[@KaiArslan_67]

There ton of great documentary made by local media, is just yall dont want to fit with majority by learning Malay lmao.

[@muakam]

So many sour grapes here envious of enterprising Malaysian farmers with the potential of growing Malaysia's billion dollar fruits industry.

[@user-bw6cc7js6h]

Billion ringgit

[@caseystevens8302]

To all those bitter Singaporeans critical about Malaysia's efforts here, remember each country has their up and down cycles. The Romans, Greek, British Empire etc. Dont think that Singapore will be successful forever. Eventually the throne will shift. So appreciate your neighbors. They might be better than you one day. 😊 ✌️

Malaysia having plentiful rainfalls with tropical climate all year round have excellent potentials in agriculture, including exporting to Singapore primarily and secondary to big China.

[@aburn9891]

As a Thai, I think this is a great initiative ~ similar to how Japan can market their fruits as premium.

[@yogayoggie2209]

I am sporean, i always admire Malaysia having their own local true brands and products like Farm Fresh. Whereas in singapore, the govt here always talk big! They talk about food security, but never walk the talk, only just a speech. I wanna laugh when spore govt promote agriculture and food security. The pampered and arrogant ministers here will always choose the easy way out, ie buying and outsource from/to other countries.

[@noraffendi5232]

But Singapore has limited land. How is it possible to do large-scale farming in Singapore?

[@yogayoggie2209]

@@noraffendi5232 this shows you dont know anything about farming or agriculture, and your thinking is backward. Anyway this is not the point. The point is dont boast and talk big when you cannot fulfill. Dont talk big about food security by 2030. The only thing singapore ministers are good at is choosing the easy way out and replicate success.

[@Researched-q1q]

Actually those melons are already sold in Japan and China and they sell very well as they are cheaper than the Japanese ones and sweeter.

[@Arcueido]

Why Nangcem? Why did the Nangka come before the Cempedak?

[@ezwan7656]

sounds like a chemical product.

[@Balangair1]

Why not a Tarap or Terap hybrid with Nangka? 😮

[@PemadamGergasi]

NANGka + CHEMpedak, become nangchem They was already hybrid call cempedak nangka since 80s.

[@Arcueido]

My question was why did the nangka come first... why not cemnang?

[@ezwan7656]

@@Arcueido Cemnang definitely sounds better. Sounds more Malay-ish.

[@400malaya]

i think harum manis is the hardest. it only grows in perlis and only some specific locations. it only available in 1 short season. ive been to harum manis plantations before sorry to say the way the local farmers taking care and nurturing the plantations is very meticulous and not easy. some of the farmers facing alot of problems from trespassers too. some will destroy the plantations due to personal grudges and envy. yet the perlis farmers still keep going pushing their harum manis plantations. big respect..

[@Cijon]

Singapore investor are welcome to Borneo Sabah Sarawak, explore and create opportunities for both countries.

[@ezwan7656]

Malaysia should try farming. we are underpopulated nation anyway so theres a lot of empty land waiting to be used somewhere here in Malaysia.

[@jojdeepify]

Work with food scientists to get some research done into the health benefits of the melon manis. Get folks to create good recipes in salads etc

Durian is the King of the Fruits. Yet in Malaysia you make no attempt to grow the proper varieties grown elsewhere in the region. In Sarawak, the local product is knowingly sold as zero flesh as clearly dictated by west Malaysia who can raise their import prices accordingly. Too much corruption to change anything

There's no such thing as premium fruit, or food..... There's only marketing strategy. Food is still food.

Premium just means more $$ per kilo..

Just tell that to the Japanese

[@yokwah1]

You seem sooooo naive 😊

[@vftw6086]

Everything has a premium. Marketing also makes it premium but you cannot dispute that an iPhone or Samsung is still premium handphones compared to others. Toilets in malls on certain floors which require a fee are also premium. Whether or not the price, justifies the experience, depends on the user. A Musang King is premium. A durian kampung is not. But it doesn't mean that a durian kampung doesn't taste good. Try a Korean/Japanese muscat and an ordinary grape. You'll know immediately what the differences are. Again, whether the price justifies the experience, varies for every one.
