Malays working in Australia as fruit pickers are getting up to 10k a month! So why do you think malays, indians, chinese or bumis what to work in our super low pay plantations! Zuraida should keep her dumbass statement to herself!
Our government never learn! Why not use machinery to speed things up in plantation! Fpr example, palm fruit machine can harvest one acre within half an hour! Such machine can be used in many farms at once! Hence higher pay for the operator and lower cost for palm owners! Even if our plantation refuse to modernize, then provide proper housing for workers and limit migrants only for plantation works! Unfortunately, almost every sectors employ migrants! And worst still, migrants are also taking on retail business which should not happen in the first place!

How much we got by picking coconuts in our kampong ?
Answer : You can use monkey for that and only require banana for salary! Then again, nowadays, you have this short coconut tree called Pandan coconut that never grow above 7 feet and sprout young coconuts by the ton load!
Have u seen...how the west use machines to harvest wheats, soyabeans and oats leh ??
They use the machine...to pull out the whole plants together with the fruits mah!
Why the west still use fruits pickers to pick apple, orange and grapes leh ? Bcos they have no technology mah to selective pick fruits mah!
Harvesting apples, oranges and grapes are like harvesting palmoil fruits mah...need selective picks mah.....not pulling out the whole plants using machine loh!

Each palm fruit weight about 10kg to 20kg! It's heavy! You need those crawl machine to make it easy to pick them! A competence operator can pick up each bunch in less than 10 seconds! Using manual labor is very hard!
They already have a machine to help the workers to harvest the heavy ffb fruits , but labor are needed to identify the specific fruits to harvest mah!
Yes the FFB is heavy...but u only pick about 1 to 2 fruits per trees but for apple trees u need to pick few hundred apple fruits per tree mah!

Wrong lah
Datuk Zuraidah said Rm1200 is the basic. Can go over Rm2000 with incentives and overtime allowance
Check up Tsh Resources website how well their workers are treated
So don't simply accuse without true facts
