SINGAPORE: The Agri—Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) has detected the pandemic A(H1N1) virus in some pigs imported into Singapore from Indonesia’s Pulau Bulan.

But the AVA stressed that the pork available here is safe for consumption, as the H1N1 virus is not transmitted through the handling and consumption of pork and pork products including ham, bacon, sausages and canned pork.

AVA added it will step up its monitoring and inspection to ensure food safety, like increasing the number of daily pork samples taken for tests from 30 to 100.

It will also take part in a comprehensive disease surveillance programme on the Pulau Bulan farm, led by the Indonesian authorities. The aim is to identify and isolate affected pig houses.

AVA’s director—general, Dr Chew Siang Thai, said: "AVA is now working closely with the Indonesian authorities and the farm management to ensure that clinically healthy pigs are exported to Singapore.

"And these pigs, when they are in the abattoir, are also subjected to a series of inspections that ensure that safe pork get released into the market."

Restricted animal movement will also be imposed to ensure only healthy pigs are exported to Singapore. The AVA said this is in line with the World Organization for Animal Health’s recommendation.

Meanwhile, steps have also been taken to make sure that everyone is safe.

Dr Chew said: "The workers have already been putting on protective gear, masks and have been practising good hygiene procedures to avoid getting any potential infection."

Suppliers have been informed of the steps being taken so that they too can play their part by enhancing measures and ensuring everybody complies with the requirements.

AVA said that Singapore has adequate sources of pork supplies from 25 countries.

Singapore’s import of 1,000 pigs daily from Pulau Bulan constitutes some 20 per cent of the total pork consumed here.

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VII is Here!


Perhaps 10 years ago we wouldn't expect to feature a car from Mitsubishi in FantasyCars.com but the times are changing and Mitsubishi's Lancer Evo has already left a very important mark in the automotive history of the 90s. It has redefined a whole new sector: the supercar-beating 4-door sedan along with Subaru's Impreza Turbo, WRX and all the special editions they have spawned.

We are now in 2001 and the battlefield is set: Mitsubishi and Subaru wage an all out war on each other.

The new Lancer Evo 7 sports a 2.0-litre turbocharged I4 producing 276 horsepower at 6500 rpm and 282 lb-ft of torque at 3500 rpm, the latter a slightly higher figure than the STi. The Lancer sits one gear short of the Impreza, using an updated version of the current 5-speed manual transmission
Besides an increase in power, the Lancer also gets a little chubbier, by about 88lb, but still little compared to the Impreza's 220lb weight gain. Various features on the Evo 7 include 17-inch Brembo brakes in front with 16-inch units at the back, ABS, 235/45ZR17 tires and the unchanged suspension from the previous model, although a wider track and longer wheelbase are in place.

The big piece de resistance, however, is the new ACD (Active Center Differential) which uses an electronically controlled clutch that gives better grip compared to the standard VCU type to improve traction, as well as the AYC (Active Yaw Control) stystem, which gives better torque distribution between the rear wheels. The Lancer goes on sale in Ferbuary 2001, for the equivalent of about $25,500 USD for the GSR and $21K for the RS in Japan...~harry
