The SCUMS have openly and PROUDLY declared Singapore as a research center.
From what I hear, some other countries have REJECTED or DISALLOWED some research being carried here. IS THIS TRUE?
We are a small area. One lethal escape of biological germs and the whole island will be affected and wiped out.
Anyone have any clues as to what kind of research is carried out here? Biological warfare research included?

Miniature Pigs to be Bred in SingaporeReports call them the made in Singapore mini pigs and they are popularly called as guinea pigs. According to the reports, Singapore would soon breed miniature pigs that would be 10 times smaller than a normal pig. The breeding would be undertaken for scientific research.
About 200 of miniature pigs would be bred in the current year by PWG Genetics which is a biomedical research company. The headquarters of the company is in South Korea, and the company plans to start the new facility for the breeding of the special pigs at Tuas.
Reports claim that the project is of InVivos, a company that is set up by the Agency for Science, <leo_highlight style="border-bottom: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 150); background-color: transparent; background-image: none; background-repeat: repeat; background-attachment: scroll; background-position: 0% 50%; -moz-background-size: auto auto; cursor: pointer; display: inline; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" id="leoHighlights_Underline_1" onclick="leoHighlightsHandleClick('leoHighlights_Underline_1')" onmouseover="leoHighlightsHandleMouseOver('leoHighlights_Underline_1')" onmouseout="leoHighlightsHandleMouseOut('leoHighlights_Underline_1')" leohighlights_keywords="technology" leohighlights_url_top="http%3A//shortcuts.thebrowserhighlighter.com/leonardo/plugin/highlights/3_1/tbh_highlightsTop.jsp?keywords%3Dtechnology%26domain%3Dwww.singsupplies.com" leohighlights_url_bottom="http%3A//shortcuts.thebrowserhighlighter.com/leonardo/plugin/highlights/3_1/tbh_highlightsBottom.jsp?keywords%3Dtechnology%26domain%3Dwww.singsupplies.com" leohighlights_underline="true">Technology</leo_highlight> and Research (A*Star) and the <leo_highlight style="border-bottom: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 150); background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; cursor: pointer; display: inline; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" id="leoHighlights_Underline_2" onclick="leoHighlightsHandleClick('leoHighlights_Underline_2')" onmouseover="leoHighlightsHandleMouseOver('leoHighlights_Underline_2')" onmouseout="leoHighlightsHandleMouseOut('leoHighlights_Underline_2')" leohighlights_keywords="national%20university" leohighlights_url_top="http%3A//shortcuts.thebrowserhighlighter.com/leonardo/plugin/highlights/3_1/tbh_highlightsTop.jsp?keywords%3Dnational%2520university%26domain%3Dwww.singsupplies.com" leohighlights_url_bottom="http%3A//shortcuts.thebrowserhighlighter.com/leonardo/plugin/highlights/3_1/tbh_highlightsBottom.jsp?keywords%3Dnational%2520university%26domain%3Dwww.singsupplies.com" leohighlights_underline="true">National University</leo_highlight> of Singapore (NUS).
The project aims at meeting the demand for animals since Singapore is pushing for biomedical sciences to be an area of growth. The animals in the facilities would be used to test drugs, vaccines and other surgical methods.
Currently Singapore is a base camp that has 25 facilities which are licensed by the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) for animal research. These also include laboratories that are run by A*Star, NUS, health-care group SingHealth and companies like PWG.
According to a PWG spokesman the demand for miniature pigs alone in Singapore is about 1,000 a year. Since normal pig weigh more than 100kgs within a year it poses a difficulty in their handling, hence the idea of guinea pigs was introduced.
