Please manage the plastic! don't throw them every where especially if the plastics end up in the ocean. Plastic caused danger to marine life.

65 is still young. May be we need to redefine our age young or old. What are the basis to classify the age. What ever it is health is very important.

Water is very important to our body. BUT how far we care about water? 70% of our body is water and only 2% of water on earth is fresh water. We need to know the water cycle and try to conserve it.

Why the countries with oil and gas are having conflicts? All may be the locals greedy. If they share then the price may go higher.

We need to promote this city forest in Kuala Lumpur managed by Malaysian Nature Society (MNS). This can support Taman Tugu that just announced by the Prime Minister Najib this year.

Another Geopark? need a proper plan and research so that the environmental quality is maintain.

learn and practice

thank you Yeap MNS

Another hard work to conserve this monkey in the wild. habitat, human-monkey conflict and other ecological issues challenge the scientists and conservationists. How about government of megabiodiversity's country??? The policy is there but the implementation is very tough unless the public care.

Borrow from Yeap MNS. Thank you

The Raffles Banded Langur (or Leaf-monkey) - a unique subspecies (femoralis) found in Johor and Singapore. Another subspecies (robinsoni) is found in the northern parts of Peninsular Malaysia (and southern Thailand).

Conservation activities have been proposed for this species: http://static1.1.sqspcdn.com/static/f/1200343/27337009/1479355170030/2016Nov17_Pff_Species+Action+Plan_Final.pdf?token=cMrDS644Y50vFlvof8AimL%2FcrtY%3D

Five years a go we promoting recycle to cycle at UPM. after successful 5 years now we move forward to Recycling@universities

We plant trees THEY cut trees. How to help them?

WWF Calling for stronger protection of the Greater Ulu Muda Forests. Frest logging still available. STOP LOGGING at ULU MUDA.

Apart from being extremely important for its vital role in provisioning water and other ecosystem services, the Greater Ulu Muda forest harbours important wildlife and biodiversity. Allowing activities such as logging or other extractive activities can have a detrimental effect on the water resources from the Greater Ulu Muda forests and the ecotourism potential.

http://www.wwf.org.my/media_and_information/updates__former_newsroom_main_/?uNewsID=23725

Recycle to cycle move forward to Recycling @university involving five universities UPSI, UPM, UKM, USIM, UTHM.

Why we need to Protect and Conserve ULU MUDA Reserve Forest? Water resources for agriculture, human consumption, industries etc., wildlife habitat, biodiversity, ecotourism, climate change, global warming, economy, research and education. All must support this conservation promotion.

We need to protect all these animals to make our ecosystems balance, safe and healthy to live. Need more studies on their habitat, behaviour and interaction with human.

Talk on Nature Education: Education is important to create awareness and practice among citizen. Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) is leading NGO in nature education. MNS need support from all corporate sectors and government.

MNS meeting at Langkawi. Continuous support in Nature Conservation.

in the process of solving certain issues, we need to do an integrated research and involving many experts. So not like before we have many authours in one publication. But in general our community still selfish not sharing in fact one professor publish paper with my student without my name and another professor deleted my name in the group.

Logging continues, land clearing continues, later flash flood and mud flood that will cause effect to flora and fauna and some unknown biodiversity may lost. Government must start to look at other things for the income and try to preserve our forest. Cutting trees is not the only incomes. May be forests can generate more incomes if we keep them.

pictures PS Sabrina. Thank you

Public awareness on land clearing is very poor. In fact big flood also still ok because the government will support them. malaysia is very peace country.. BUT those educated and aware of the disasters after land clearing will support highlands protection and conservation.

https://www.nst.com.my/news/2016/04/141480/around-100-hectares-hills-penang-cleared-date

EORGE TOWN: Around 100 hectares of land on hills at Relau, Paya Terubong and Bukit Kukus have been cleared to date, the Penang State Hill Land Working Committee has established.

Committee chairman Datuk Farizan Darus said the majority of the land, or some 90ha of land cleared, were at Relau and Paya Terubong.

“The committee was informed that the 14ha land cleared on Bukit Kukus involved the state government’s development of a five-kilometre paired road connecting to Jalan Paya Terubong.

“The construction on Lot 2494 is scheduled to be completed by 2019,” he said.

Farizan, who is also the state secretary, said the committee, which had its first meeting this morning, had formulated an integrated approach involving various agencies to tackle hill-side clearing issues.

Flash flood and land slides create problems in Penang today after long heavy rain. A lot of things we need to learn. Information on weather, readiness to face heavy rain, drainage systems, disciplines in managing solid waste especially plastics bags and bottles, land clearing and slopes, managing surface runoff and many more. Politician and other decision makers please listen to the experts. I spend 12 hours in the car today from Kuala Lumpur and back, I have to turn back to KL because I cannot go to Penang Island and even to Kedah. I then missed very important meeting in Penang.

Usually all hot areas are related to OIL and GAS. Why we cannot share. Why greedy people are fighting for them self? Energy, Money, Power, Bully???? Many muslim countries have OIL and GAS BUT wHY they are not superpower??? Probably they need more science and technology.

Now UPM can proud of this achievement. BUT always remember even genuine success also very difficult to be maintained.

If we can list all the issues that can help the society or improve their quality of life, we can encourage more collaboration with corporate sectors. Eg Cocacola with UPM in recycling, Air Asia on supporting students and their academic, and many more.

https://www.nst.com.my/business/2017/09/278949/airasia-taps-varsity-talent-grow-air-traffic

ernandes said the airline’s partnership with UPM is a win-win proposition, particularly in research, with the best students from UPM doing internship in AirAsia, and in providing job opportunities.

“It’s an ongoing process. We try to work with UPM to provide all-round students so that when they come to the corporation, they will be able to participate and be creative as well as innovative.

“We have also unleashed a massive amount of talent through the CEO’s faculty programme in UPM.

“It was not just for the students to learn but also for corporate leaders to learn what universities can give them.”

Fernandes said there is so much AirAsia can do with the university, leveraging the e-commerce platform and “we unearthed something that we never thought about before”.

UPM’s livery on AirAsia’s Airbus A320-200 aircraft comes with the celebration of its academia’s industry partnership.

With a budget of US$50,000, the livery was designed by UPM’s Faculty of Design and Architecture.

UPM vice-chancellor Professor Datin Paduka Dr Aini Ideris said UPM is pleased to be the first university to have an aircraft livery on an AirAsia plane.

“As UPM’s strategic partner, AirAsia has set aside the commercial aspects of this project and stressed on the importance of knowledge and why institutions of higher education should be uplifted,” she said.

Aini pointed out that through this non-commercial initiative, AirAsia has provided a platform for UPM in the field of design, creativity and art for high-impact projects.

YES or NO when the statement was made by a foreign professor, Malaysian have to answer. We like to listen from others rather than looking at the reality in our own country. We must reassess our curriculum and training process provided in our local university.

Malaysia is still very lucky have enough clean water BUT we cannot happy with what we have now. We need to think seriously on the future of our clean water especially on the supply and demand.

All Malaysian especially the Malays must understand the history of the country clearly and learn how to live in modern ways and respect each other. The important aspects that can bring people together in this areas are language, culture, religion and economy. Do we have enough experts in this areas?

We need more volunteers to clean rubbish NOT just clean it BUT educate other how to manage their rubbish especially plastic. Congratulation this team in Langkawi.

Another commitment by the government to preserve rain forest in Kuala Lumpur. the Taman TUGU.

Definition of age is important so that we appreciate ourself in term of health, function, and contribution before die. Think of what you will leave behind for your future generations. At least the live harmony with nature inheriting what you conserve.

Merdeka Day is not just a celebration BUT understand, appreciate, respect and maintain it.are more important.

University's students must go outdoors and interact with the society. Learning in the lecture theater and laboratories in nor enough. For better understanding and applying the theory is important. This is a great challenge to the professors in order to produce a quality graduates.

Promoting urban agriculture is not easy. need to design good methods for planting vegetables, good seeds, fertiliser and all not just the result but to encourage public to grow vegetables for healthy food and save money.

At many events, participants are busy taking pictures especially the vips and the volunteers. At least for the memory of the event. hopefully all remember their contribution in planting mangrove and understand the purpose of planting and the ecological function.. The secretariat must continue to work hard as usual before and after the event.
