UN sanctions set to sour Kim's taste for the finer things in life
By Anna Fifield in Seoul

Published: October 18 2006 03:00 | Last updated: October 18 2006 03:00

Are Big Macs and shark fin soup luxury goods? What about James Bond films. Or roasted donkeys? This is the sort of question the United Nations Security Council will grapple with as it starts to define the sanctions to be imposed on North Korea and its idiosyncratic leader, Kim Jong-il, for last week's nuclear test.

The security council resolution on sanctions prohibits the sale or transfer of material that could be used to make weapons of mass destruction and missiles, as well as still-to-be-determined "luxury goods". Stories of Mr Kim's largesse suggest there is considerable scope for definition.

Konstantin Pulikovsky, a Russian official who accompanied Mr Kim on a month-long train journey across Russia in 2001, wrote that live lobsters were flown on to the train, as well as donkey, reportedly the North Korean leader's favourite food.

"It was possible to order any dish of Russian, Chinese, Korean, Japanese and French cuisine," Mr Pulikovsky wrote. Such a menu could create problems for three of the five permanent security council members. Mr Kim has a penchant for shark fin soup and reportedly ordered McDonald's hamburgers from Beijing.

Kenji Fujimoto, the pseudonym of the Japanese author of I was Kim Jong-il's Sushi Chef, told of being sent to Iran and Uzbekistan for caviar, to Denmark for pork and Thailand to buy mangoes for Mr Kim.

Other chefs recall a 10,000-bottle wine cellar, while trade figures in the early 1990s revealed that Mr Kim was the largest single consumer of Hennessy cognac, importing more than $650,000 worth a year.

The North Korean leader is said to have a library of 20,000 Hollywood movies and to buy his family expensive imported toys including jet skis, karaoke machines and basketball courts.

Analysts said the sanctions aimed at clamping down on luxury goods would crimp Mr Kim's ability to pamper those who keep him in power. "This reflects the desire of the Americans to put pressure on Kim Jong-il and his supporters, whom he controls by rewarding them with high-class goods such as caviar and watches," said Nam Sung-wook, a North Korean specialist at Korea University in Seoul.

Analysts said the outline of the sanctions did not appear sufficient to change North Korea's behaviour. Scott Snyder, a Korea specialist at the Asia Foundation, said it was premature to say they would have no bite because they had yet to be defined.

"It's all about defining this vague statement and finding the space between punitive and prudent," Mr Snyder said. "China is going to be the guiding force."

Placenta, Scorpion Remedies Woo Tourists in Singapore (Update1)

By Angus Whitley

Oct. 19 (Bloomberg) -- Wu Xiao Xiu moved to Singapore from Beijing three years ago, bringing with her knowledge gained from a decade of practicing traditional Chinese medicine. She hasn't looked back.

``Patients come from Malaysia, Indonesia, London, Japan, the Middle East, even Russia,'' said Wu, 40, a licensed traditional doctor at a clinic in Singapore's Chinatown. ``They have confidence in the quality of the products, even if the price is a little more expensive.''

Singapore is transforming a backstreet network of shops peddling centuries-old medical lore into an industry dominated by clinicians with college degrees and factory-produced remedies. Rules that govern practitioners and the quality of therapies are pushing the island to the forefront of a global market worth $53 billion a year, according to Acon AG, a Zurich consulting firm.

Demand for remedies such as human placentas, used to combat baldness, and scorpions, prescribed for epilepsy, will grow as much as 20 percent a year until 2010, said James Tan, a former analyst at DBS Vickers Securities Holdings Pte in Singapore.

``Even in the U.S., traditional Chinese medicine is getting more readily recognized,'' Tan said. ``A lot of people are saying, `Hey, this is a natural product unlikely to give any side effects.'''

Singapore's 1,500 folklore doctors and herbalists, licensed and monitored by the government's Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners Board, aren't the only ones benefiting.

At Eu Yan Sang International Ltd., a 127-year-old producer of herbal brews and bird's nest soup, annual earnings have soared more than sixfold to S$14.4 million ($9.1 million) since 2003. The Singapore-based company's shares have gained 40 percent to S$0.65 in the past 12 months.

Headaches to Flatulence

Bird's nest soup, made from the saliva of swifts, is said to bolster the immune system and prolong life.

Haw Par Corp. is profiting from the sale of Tiger Balm ointment, a modern formulation of traditional ingredients that is used to treat everything from headaches to flatulence. The Singapore company's full-year net income has more than quadrupled to S$80 million in three years. The shares have risen 27 percent to S$6.50 in the past 12 months.

``The new regulations ensure a certain standard,'' said Richard Eu, chief executive officer of Eu Yan Sang, which operates 114 shops selling traditional remedies in Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong.

Chinese lore equates health to the body's balance of yin and yang, the relationship between opposing energy forces in the universe. Practitioners, who monitor a patient's organs by checking his or her pulse, use acupuncture, acupressure and remedies made from herbs or animal parts to correct the balance.

S$25,000 Fine

Singapore's government passed the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners Act in 2000, requiring practitioners to be qualified and licensed. Transgressors risk being fined S$25,000 and jailed for six months.

At the Singapore College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, set up in 1953, students spend at least five years earning a bachelor's degree through a joint program with China's Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine. The number of new students jumped to 250 this year from fewer than 100 five years ago, said principal Teo Eng Kiat.

Not everyone welcomes Singapore's changes. Some medicine makers say modern practices are squeezing out mom-and-pop apothecaries, where remedies are mixed by the pinch or handful.

`Difficult to Conform'

``Older or traditional establishments find it difficult to conform,'' said David Tang, head of the Singapore Traditional Chinese Medicine Organizations Committee, which represents about 900 retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers.

Roy Chan, medical director of Singapore's National Skin Centre, a Western-style clinic, rejects unproven traditional treatments.

``We are not aware of any scientifically evaluated medical product or treatment that can improve wrinkles, restore hair growth and boost the immune system,'' he said.

Traditional medicine is a holistic approach designed to maintain and restore health, said A.K. Han, a Haw Par director. The government rules govern only the purity and quality of ingredients, not their effectiveness.

``With the entire market being regulated, there may be fewer claims about the powers of some treatments,'' Han said. ``You still need Western medicine.''

Western Drugs

Still, the growing popularity of alternative therapies may threaten the dominance of Western pharmaceuticals, Han said. In China, half the population relies on local treatments, he said.

Health benefits sometimes are secondary. Vanity is driving sales of human placenta at Maylande Human Placenta, a Singapore beauty salon, said Natally Tan, the marketing director.

Placentas are imported from Japan and made into potions to help smooth out wrinkles, cure baldness and aid recovery after illness, Tan said. The salon charges S$250 for a facial treatment and S$880 for a tonic swallowed daily for a month.

The fluid, which is tested to ensure it's free of infection, is healthy because it contains proteins essential to human growth, said Tan.

In the heart of Singapore's Chinatown, Thomas Kuo caters to locals and visitors alike. He emigrated from Taiwan 23 years ago and specializes in treating blood circulation, insomnia and Parkinson's disease.

Kuo sees 300 to 500 patients a month at his clinic -- 50 percent more than a decade ago, he said. Japanese, Indonesians, Koreans and Indians account for 20 percent of patients, he said.

``Business is getting better,'' Kuo said. ``People of all ages accept traditional Chinese medicine now.''
