[superadmin]

SEBERANG PERAI: A dinner-time warning about a dish of cabbage and watermelon was a turning point for businessman Leong Jhy Wen.

It was reinforced after he visited a flower farm in Cameron Highlands to sell plastic pots.

His son, Hans, told FMT Leong had been warned by a friend at a dinner in Sarawak that furadan pesticide was used to protect crops of cabbage and watermelon.

Later, in Cameron Highlands, a client said farmers would use more than 20 types of pesticides on their rose plants to keep pests away.
