Malaysia Finds Bird-Flu Virus in Village Outside Kuala Lumpur

Malaysia has found the bird flu virus in a village outside the capital Kuala Lumpur and will cull poultry in the area to prevent its spread, the Department of Veterinary Services said today.Samples taken from Paya Jaras Hilir village, which reported the sudden death of 60 chickens within three days on June 2, tested positive for highly pathogenic avian influenza, or HPAI, the department said in a faxed release.The H5N1 strain of the bird flu virus, which has caused deaths among humans in neighboring Indonesia, is part of the HPAI group. The department didn't say if H5N1 was detected.Malaysia reported its first outbreak of avian influenza in more than a year in February 2006, when the H5N1 strain killed 40 chickens in the state of Selangor. The country declared itself free of the disease four months later.

nowadays ppl worry more abt indexs than bird flu, iknow it can kill. but they are equally dead if the index go UP.
Bond yield should go up to at least 5.25% if not higher,why bec the chinese looking elsewhere to invest instead of traditional T-bill
Dont worry
be happy the flu will go away

Halo.. Simon_alibaba,

Now the market is full with fear of Foreign Fund getting out from Malaysia because the RM is trading at the 2 months low (3.465). CPO price also trading at a record intraday low by dropping 174 Rinngit last Friday. So better dont apply call warrant isnt ? hehe...

By the way, can you lend me your Alibaba movie to me ?

Thanks and regards...
