3 years to get the DNA of a dead bird??

After reading your report SWIFT DECISION and the statement that Swiftlet Farms in Sepang are to stay, I was however struck by the statement made by Mr Mah, the apparent spokesman for the Swiftlet farmers. I quote below:

"...The airport authorities suspect that the birds getting tangled into aircraft were swiftlets but there was no proof from Perhilitan to back their claims.It will take between two and three years for a DNA report to determine the species of birds that get tangled in the engines. They should get proof and provide data on how many accidents have been caused by swiftlets before asking the farmers to relocate...."

I was dumbfounded by the statement that it takes up to three years for somebody to identify the DNA of swiftlets? Other than the obvious cleverness in titling this report a "swift" decision, I feel such an important issue being treated so frivolously is NOT FUNNY at all. Firstly, if the airport authorities and MAS suspect that the birds that were sucked into the engines were swiftlets, the Department of Wildlife and Perhilitan should take immediate measures to ascertain the facts of the case, and that the swiftlet farms in Sepang DO NOT cause such dangerous incidents.Does Malaysia want to be the centre of some notoriety if one of the planes using the airport is brought down by swiftlets crashing into the Engines causing the deaths of hundreds of passengers? Knowing the fact that swiflet farms are in the vicinity, will Malaysia Airports Holdings be then deemed to be negligent, and be held responsible for the deaths? Why does Perhilitan allow the spokesperson of the Swiftlets Merchants Assocation to justify their existence (and to speak on Perhilitan's behalf) by announcing that it takes up to three years for anyone to determine the DNA of the birds that were sucked into the jet engines? Are our Ministries and Departments involved in this issue so inefficient that they cannot find a way to determine the DNA of the dead birds, say in three months? I think the travelling public deserves a proper explanation and better protection, from Malaysia Airport Holdings, not from the Swiftlet farmers..
