“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” – Winston Churchill

During last week, Ridpest got the privilege to contribute our little help through our CSR program with Orang Asli community at the brand new unfurnished Homestay at Kg Orang Asli Ulu Gumum, Pekan, near Tasik Chini in expelling “The Silent Uninvited Guest”.

The primary objective is to combat termites which were aplenty under the pillars of the brand new house.

The brand new unfurnished homestay is a new project developed by the OA Organics community at Kg Orang Asli Ulu Gumum here.

Helping society is always a noble thing to do. Through our experience in Kg Orang Asli Ulu Gumum, we realized that the biggest reward from helping the society is when the people we helped said thank you because they are living in a better condition and we can see the happiness on their faces.

From The Star Online

SEOUL (The Korea Herald/Asia News Network): Three cockroaches were discovered onboard a flight with Busan Air, one of South Korea’s low-cost carriers, alarming passengers and raising concerns about the plane’s hygiene standards.

The flight originated from Gimpo Airport and was en route to Gimhae Airport when the insects were found.

According to a passenger, a woman screamed after spotting a cockroach before takeoff. A flight attendant found her a new seat, but two more cockroaches were found during the flight.

Air Busan has confirmed that three cockroaches were found during the Gimhae-bound flight. The carrier underwent fumigation after all passengers got off.

It also called some passengers to offer its apologies.

But Air Busan said it was possible that the cockroaches may have entered the plane via a passenger’s luggage.

International flights must report the discovery of pests to the Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency, but domestic flights are not required to do so. – The Korea Herald/Asia News Network
