PERSPECTIVES
Sunday, 6 March, 2011
Boost production of
marine products
Myanmar is blessed with land and water
resources. Tapping those resources, the nation
is striving for national economic growth.
Efforts are also being made to improve
the fish and meat sector for local consumption
and to extend exportation.
With the assistance of Fisheries
Department under the Ministry of Livestock
and Fisheries, national private entrepreneurs
have been given permission not only to catch
fish, prawn, crab and eel from rivers, creeks
and seas but also to engage in livestock breeding
in line with the rules and regulations.
Fish, prawn, eel and crab processing
factories are manufacturing marine products
for local market and exporting the surpluses.
In exportation, there are two kinds – processed
as well as unprocessed fish, prawn, eel and
crab.
Applying modern fish breeding methods
today, more and more pedigree fish have been
acquired and hatching is being carried out by
means of modern techniques. Fish and prawn
caught from Myanmar’s waters are
internationally marketable marine products.
Rich in water resources, Myanmar can not
only enjoy local self-sufficiency in its marine
products but also exports surpluses.
All in all, breeders are urged to work
hard for production of more marine items by
using modern methods.

It can be stressful for any parent to leave a child
in the care of a babysitter, particularly if your child is
diabetic.
The American Diabetes Association says parents
of diabetic children should ensure that babysitters
know the basics about:
* Checking blood glucose levels and ketones.
Practice with the sitter before you leave.
* The ideal range for your child’s blood glucose,
warning signs of a problem, and what to do
if the levels are high or low.
* Giving your child insulin, when to give it and
how much. Again, practice before you leave.
* What the sitter should do if there is an

medication, and how to reach you.—Internet

C HICAGO , 5 March—Wal-Mart Stores Inc
(WMT.N) said it is increasing its annual dividend
nearly 21 percent, citing its ability to generate cash
in a fiscal year that disappointed investors with weak
US sales. Wal-Mart said its board approved a dividend
of $1.46 per year in fiscal 2012, which ends next
January, up from $1.21. That translates to about $5.2
billion paid out to shareholders.
The move would bring Wal-Mart’s dividend
yield to 2.81 percent, based on its closing stock price
of $52.01 on Thursday on the New York Stock
Exchange. Like many larger companies, Wal-Mart’s
dividend is an important factor for its shareholders,
as the stock has shown little appreciation over the
past several years.
Shares fell 3.1 percent a little more than a week
ago when the company posted its seventh consecutive
quarterly decline in sales at US stores open at least a

Sales of China’s jumbo jets to reach
2000 in two decades
BEIJING, 5 March—The Commercial Aircraft Corporation of
China (COMAC) said Saturday it is expected to sell 2,000 jumbo
jets, the homegrown C919, over the coming 20 years.
More orders for the C919 were in the pipeline this year in
addition to the existing orders of 100, Wu Guanghui, vice general
manager of the COMAC and the jumbo jet’s chief designer, told
Xinhua. China’s demand for C919 jumbo jets was estimated to
reach 2,300 to 2,700 during the next two decades thanks to
people’s rising income and their need for faster travel means, he
said.
He forecast the sales of the C919 would reach 2,000 by 2030,
compared with the estimated global market demand of 20,000,
said Wu. The COMAC said earlier it had taken its first 100 orders
for the C919 from six companies, including Air China, China
Eastern Airlines, China Southern Airlines and General Electric’s
leasing arm.
“We must ensure both technological and commercial success
of C919,” said Wu, adding that it was more difficult to sell the jets
than making it. “The key is whether passengers would like our jets.
As we have fully taken this into consideration when designing it,
I’m confident we will not disappoint the market,” he said.

Commuters are happy with special ferry runs between Yangon and Khanaungto.
The Inland Water Transport has launched
some more ferry runs between Yangon and
Khanaungto for the convenience of residents by
means of transportation.
Manager U Htein Lin of the Inland Water
Transport told The Mirror, “We make special
ferry runs in addition to regular ferry runs,
especially in rush hours for local people who
commute between Yangon and Khanaungto. So,
now it is very convenient for staff and students to
make their trips. Taking private runs suits the
convenience of commuters, so many take special
ferries.”
