No fake eggs

They may just be of inferior quality, says Vet Dept
PUTRAJAYA: Fake eggs are not being sold on the market.

This was the assurance given by the Veterinary Services Department, which said tested samples of “fake” eggs showed that they were genuine.

Director-general Datuk Dr Abdul Aziz Jamaluddin said the samples, which were taken from markets nationwide, including the market in Pulau Tikus, Penang, also showed the eggs were naturally produced, but of a lower grade.
This assurance comes a day after a preliminary analysis conducted on the eggs by the Health Ministry showed that they were real.

Aziz said the eggs seized from Pulau Tikus might have been spoilt, of low quality, or rejected and not cleared for sale to the public.

He ruled out the possibility that fake eggs were being brought into the country, because it was illegal to import eggs, except for breeding purposes.
“It is illegal to import eggs and this makes it difficult for fake eggs, which are mostly found overseas, to penetrate the local market.” The “fake eggs” fiasco surfaced after a 50-year-old housewife, bought a tray of 30 eggs for RM11 at the Pulau Tikus market.

She claimed they were fake because they were unusually large in size and did not emit any smell.

The matter was highlighted by the Consumers Association of Penang, which claimed that their study of the eggs showed they were fake.
One discerning feature was that when the egg was broken, there was no sign of chalazae, the opaque ropes of egg white that hold the egg yolk in the centre of the shell.

Subsequently, Penang Domestic Trade , Cooperat ives and Consumerism Ministry officers seized 270 eggs from three stalls in the Pulau Tikus market.

Aziz said it did not make economic sense to produce fake eggs as the production cost to make a fake was high and each could only be sold for 30 sen.

“It is hard to replicate what God has created. If there is a fake egg on the market, I am willing to pay a good sum for it.” It was reported that in the fake eggs, the egg white and yolk would mix quickly when broken.

Aziz said the reports on the fake eggs had no effect on the sales of eggs.

However, he said to ensure eggs produced here were of high quality, all producers would soon be required to register with the department and would have to fulfil certain standards.
The eggs will have information such as their grade, the name of the producer and the date of production.

Aziz said the system had already been implemented in the larger farms where eggs were produced for overseas markets.

“We want the smaller farms to adopt the same system,” he said, adding that a meeting with the Federation of Livestock Farmers’ Association of Malaysia would be held soon.

The country’s 390 farms producing 23.46 million eggs daily.

Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai told Bernama that DNA analysis by the Chemistry Department of four chicken egg samples from Penang found that the eggs were genuine. He said the protein contents were similar.

Liow said strict enforcement at entry points would continue to ensure that food brought into the country was safe.

Update on Japan's natural disasters: Nuclear plant faces meltdown

rough view of the tragedy

IWAKI (Japan): An explosion at a nuclear power station yesterday destroyed a building housing the reactor amid fears that it was close to a disastrous meltdown after being hit by a powerful earthquake and tsunami.

Tokyo Power Electric Co, the utility that runs the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant, said four workers had suffered fractures and bruises and were being treated at a hospital.

A nuclear expert said a meltdown may not pose widespread danger.

Footage on Japanese TV showed that the walls of the reactor's building had crumbled, leaving only a skeletal metal frame standing. Puffs of smoke were spewing out of the plant in Fukushima, 30km from here.

"We are now trying to analyse what is behind the explosion," said government spokesman Yukio Edano, stressing that people should quickly evacuate a 10km radius.

The trouble began at the plant's Unit 1 after the massive earthquake and the tsunami it spawned knocked out power there.

Japan has declared states of emergency for five nuclear reactors at two power plants after the units lost cooling ability.

The most troubled one, Fukushima Dai-ichi, is facing meltdown, officials have said.

A "meltdown" is not a technical term. Rather, it is an informal way of referring to a very serious collapse of a power plant's systems and its ability to manage temperatures.

It was not immediately clear if a meltdown would cause serious radiation risk, and if it did how far the risk would extend.

Pressure has been building up in Fukushima reactor -- it's now twice the normal level -- and Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency told reporters yesterday that the plant was venting "radioactive vapours."

The reactor in trouble has already leaked some radiation: Operators have detected eight times the normal radiation levels outside the facility and 1,000 times normal inside Unit 1's control room.

Ryohei Shiomi, a nuclear official, said that each hour the plant was releasing the amount of radiation a person normal absorbs in a year.

He said that even if there were a meltdown, it wouldn't affect people outside a 10km radius -- an assertion that might need revising if the situation deteriorates.

Most of the 51,000 residents living within the danger area had been evacuated, he said. -- AP

Tsunami kicked-off Japan

TOKYO: A massive 8.9-magnitude earthquake hit Japan today, unleashing a monster 10-metre high tsunami that sent ships crashing into the shore and carried cars through the streets of coastal towns. Many injuries were reported from Pacific coastal areas of the main Honshu island and the capital Tokyo, police said, while TV footage showed widespread flooding in the area. One person was confirmed dead.

A powerful 10-metre (33 feet) wall of water was reported in Sendai in northeastern Miyagi prefecture, media reported after a four-metre wave hit the coast earlier.

Helicopter footage showed massive inundation in northern coastal towns, where floods of black water sent shipping containers, cars and debris crashing through towns.
Mud waves were shown racing upstream along the Natori river in Sendai city, blanketing farm fields.

In the capital, where millions evacuated strongly swaying buildings, multiple injuries were reported when the roof of a hall collapsed during a graduation ceremony, police said.

Plumes of smoke rose from at least 10 locations in city, where four million homes suffered power outages. Port areas were flooded, including the carpark of Tokyo Disneyland.

The first quake struck just under 400 kilometres (250 miles) northeast of Tokyo, the US Geological Survey said. It was followed by several aftershocks, one as strong as 7.1.

“We were shaken so strongly for a while that we needed to hold on to something in order not to fall,” said an official at the local government of the hardest-hit city of Kurihara in Miyagi prefecture.

“We couldn’t escape the building immediately because the tremors continued... City officials are now outside, collecting information on damage,” she told AFP by telephone.

Prime Minister Naoto Kan quickly assembled his cabinet after the quake hit, and the government quickly dispatched naval vessels from near Tokyo to the worst-hit northeastern area of Miyagi.

The quake, which hit at 14:46 pm (0546 GMT) and lasted about two minutes, strongly rattled buildings in greater Tokyo, the world’s largest urban area and home to some 30 million people.

At least 10 fires were reported in Tokyo, where the subway system stopped, sirens wailed and people streamed out of buildings.

Japan sits on the “Pacific Ring of Fire”, which is dotted with volcanoes, and Tokyo is situated in one of its most dangerous areas.

A tsunami warning was issued for Japan, Taiwan, Russia and the Mariana Islands, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre said.

“An earthquake of this size has the potential to generate a destructive tsunami that can strike coastlines near the epicentre within minutes and more distant coastlines within hours,” the centre said in a statement.

It also put the territories of Guam, the Philippines, the Marshall Islands, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Nauru, Micronesia and Hawaii under a lower tsunami watch. Indonesia issued its own tsunami warning.

The quake sent the Nikkei share index plunging at the close while the yen fell sharply against the US dollar.

The mega-city of Tokyo sits on the intersection of three continental plates — the Eurasian, Pacific and Philippine Sea plates — which are slowly grinding against each other, building up enormous seismic pressure.

The government’s Earthquake Research Committee has warned of a 70 percent chance that a great, magnitude-eight quake will strike within the next 30 years in the Kanto plains, home to Tokyo’s vast urban sprawl.

The last time a “Big One” hit Tokyo was in 1923, when the Great Kanto Earthquake claimed more than 140,000 lives, many of them in fires. In 1855, the Ansei Edo quake also devastated the city.

In 1995 Kobe earthquake killed more then 6,400 people.

More than 220,000 people were killed when a 9.1-magnitude quake hit off Indonesia in 2004, unleashing a massive tsunami that devastated coastlines in countries around the Indian Ocean as far away as Africa.

Small quakes are felt every day somewhere in Japan and people take part in regular drills at schools and workplaces to prepare for a calamity.

Nuclear power plants and bullet trains are designed to automatically shut down when the earth rumbles and many buildings have been quake-proofed with steel and ferro-concrete at great cost in recent decades.

Meanwhile, at least eight people were reported killed after a huge earthquake of magnitude 8.9 rocked Japan and tsunamis up to 10 metres (33 feet) high slammed into the Pacific coast today.

The dead included a 67-year-old man crushed by a wall and an elderly woman killed by a fallen roof, both in the wider Tokyo area, press reports said.

Three were crushed to death when their houses collapsed in Ibaraki prefecture Northeast of Tokyo. - AFP
