When policy fails: Ronnie Liu on Selangor’s pig farming mess

In this episode of Scoop Insight, former Selangor exco member Ronnie Liu discusses the ongoing pig farming dispute in Tanjong Sepat and explains how it could have been resolved using the same negotiation approach that ended Pahang’s Royal Durian orchard conflict. Liu shares why legal action can open doors for out-of-court settlements, how a win-win solution could benefit farmers, the state, and the public, and the missed opportunities for relocation, compensation, and modernisation. He also reflects on the history of pig farming policies in Selangor and the lessons that can be drawn from the Pahang durian case. Liu’s criticisms of the state’s handling of the pig farms have earned him a rebuke from Selangor’s palace, highlighting the sensitivities surrounding the issue. This podcast offers a clear perspective on why negotiation matters and what could have been done to avoid escalating the conflict. #Selangor #pig farming #Ronnie Liu #durian dispute #Scoop Insight
