Scientists play God, and FAIL [again]

Create invasive species?

Herbicides for solution?

Knowingly?

It's being banned, killed with fire and there's a bounty. How to stop the Bradford Pear

To compensate for the weak branches, scientists developed similar pear trees that weren’t prone to breaking. These new trees soon interbred with the Bradford pears, creating a scene right out of Little Shop of Horrors, a plant hybrid gone wild.

That hybrid, no longer sterile, is a big part of why today's Bradford pears and related trees are invasive, wreaking havoc on nature and putting up a hard fight for removal, Ashmore said.

“The further along this process goes, the more these Callery pears resemble the ancient wild Chinese pears from the mountains which is just a thorny thicket mess.” Ashmore said. “It’s just an impenetrable thicket. The Callery pears have four-inch-long thorns, and they are as sharp as you can imagine.”

Several different herbicides work to kill Callery pear and the exact best combination, for small and large trees, is being studied, Coyle said.

Covid: PPE Fraud and Money Laundering?

Businessman’s Bangsar offices raided in major money laundering, tax evasion probe

Multiple investigative agencies have raided offices linked to Kuala Lumpur-based businessman [Vinod Sekhar], in what is believed to be the start of one of the biggest money laundering cases since the 1MDB investigations three years ago.

The raid some two weeks ago in Bangsar followed months of investigations into alleged money laundering and tax evasion involving hundreds of millions of ringgit.

conducted raids at the premises of Petra Group

Petra Group, which operates a chain of companies and organisations, is headed by Vinod, a businessman who is a strong supporter of PKR leader Anwar Ibrahim

In June, MalaysiaNow reported that Vinod through GR Technologies, a company with an address in Bangsar, had secured the lion’s share of billions of dollars worth of contracts to supply ventilators to the Hungarian government.

Hungary’s purchase of ventilators from various suppliers kicked up a storm last year at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic in Europe, with opposition politicians there calling out the deals for being opaque as well as resulting in an oversupply.
