[cbkhoon]

I have a chat with a nursery boss during my visit few days ago, he had advised me to apply permit for Akta 686. Malaysia Goverment has annouce this : http://www.doa.gov.my/pqnet/bm/annou...an_AKTA686.pdf


Wish to know more about this. I think we should discuss this and get all the forummer ready for this.

They are doing it to try and put the kibosh on ppl stealing from the wild and from plants spreading outside there natural habitat/island or what ever, since they are endangered. Thats too bad that it was only done to you guys...but like i said, its a step to put a stop to those who have no respect for nepenthes,CP’s in general. In all actuality it sounds like there still might be a chance for the casual collector(you) to slide under this wall;at least,i hope all goes good for you all, just keep on pluggin away and do what ya do best CP’s
