The politician, the government officers and the policy makers must listen to the scientists the results of researches, and their prediction. Don't just listen to the businessman. The public too must have the scientific thinking and listen to the advice of the scientists.

One study found that man-made marine debris may cause "physical harm" to humans when ingested via seafood. Another estimated that Europeans who eat shellfish could be exposed to11,000 pieces of micro-plastic each year.

What science hasn't proven yet is whether the plastic in the fish we eat directly damages our health. But it's getting there, and the case for real government concern is growing.

Malaysia must think of plastic pollution and the effect of plastic recycling after China stopped importing plastic from wold developed countries. May be with current situation where Malaysia also contributing to world plastic pollution and public awareness, Importing plastic and plastic recycling factories mus be stopped immediately before too late contaminating environment and caused health hazard to human and wildlife.

Additionally, China remains without fully developed waste management systems, the study concludes. An estimated 1.3-to-3.5 million metric tons enters the oceans from China’s coastline. Between 2010 and 2016, imported plastic waste to China added an additional 10 to 13 percent to the country’s domestic waste, increasing China’s difficulties in managing its garbage.

Malaysia have to be quick and cannot wait for politician to start. business man to if they have business interest. Academician say thing right.

Government officers need to be educated, officers at local authorities must be educated, public too need to be educated on plastic wastes effect on environment and human health. No corruption are allowed.

UK waste sent overseas for recycling could end up in landfill instead, says watchdog

NAO warns that government scheme may be subsidising exports of contaminated packaging

• Last year the amount of waste sent abroad to countries including China, Turkey, Malaysia and Poland accounted for half of the packaging reported as recycled.However the NAO claimed there was a risk that some material was not recycled to UK standards "and is instead sent to landfill or contributes to pollution".

since last ten years I started focusing on effective environmental; education with MNS Malaysian Nature Society. Now we have nearly 500 schools in all states in Malaysia. If every year I trained 500 teachers go back to their schools and talk to 1000 students we can get 500,000 people receiving our ideas. We need more people doing this. Eg last time not many people know tapir. I suggest to 500 schools in my whatapps group to draw tapir and put in class. from one school 1000 students participate and go back tell their parents so I got 3000 know what is tapir. in 500 schools community probably I can get 2,000,000 people know about tapir. May be this year we talk about tiger and conserving tiger.

Why we are still primitive living in multiracial, multi cultural, multi religion and multi believe. We may have rights BUT we forgot about respect. Without respect may be our respect will be deleted. Everybody can practice their right when their right is respected.

We need more talking, thinking and doing towards zero plastic waste in the environment. Start from us and then ask others to follow practicing zero plastic, reject, reduce, reuse and recycle.

Federal Territories Minister Khalid Samad has agreed to look into objections by Bukit Bandaraya residents over a land swap for a proposed property development by SP Setia Bhd on government land at Federal Hill. He was responding to Lembah Pantai MP Fahmi Fadzil, who had urged the government to reverse the land swap deal. We need more green areas in Kuala Lumpur.

Another attitude that need to be changed and developed. We need to be creative and strategic when we want to ask for free education. AN we need to respect and value the professors.

An old issue of language conflict. We will never solve it until we work for it. English should be taugh seriously at lower school and more books, terms and information on science in local language then we can help to reduce the issue.

Selangor, Environment and Tourism. More research and education needed. Not just for public BUT the politician too.

Birds problems and conflict in urban area. Public need to be educated for their knowledge on birds ecology, behaviour and potential zoonotic diseases.

my contribution in STEM, Extension and academic leadership

After many years campaign one kilometer walk to school then MPSJ provide the facilities but not hundred percents utilised.

zoological samples need to be organised and labeled for teaching and research purposes. maintaining by the skill staff in important.

Cat can be your friend. This cat accompany me every time I read students thesis. BUT this cat named LeRoy died in road accident.

Inaugural lecture is an important lecture by the professors to show their achievement in their career. All professors must give their Inaugural lecture. At the univrsity ususly they have a series of inaugural lectures and usually open to public those who are interested. University should develop ti academic culture in the campus.

PhD certificate must be able to certify by employer. the easier way to do is all university must have list of graduates on line.

Some articles may be important to promote science and nature in schools. We need to take actions immediately on this matter.

May be many of people claimed as ornithologist but actually they are just like birds and photograph the birds. We need more ornithologist in Malaysia.

Just remember lecturing at Kobe College in 2014. We need to have more exchange programme not only for individual staff BUT between universities for long period.

Popular wildlife poaching in Peninsular Malaysia. We cannot just celebration because the animal is already died and lost from their habitat. We need to work harder to keep the remaining one in their natural habitat.

Another new world's celebration day "World Fire Fly day". Keep our fireflies, keep their habitat, keep pokok berembang and they give us services.improve socio-economy

Promoting wildlife conservation need to be more aggressive completing the development, habitat loss, poaching and breeding performance. Public need to be educated. School children need to be exposed to the conservation programme of specific animals especially those endangered one.

old activities but still continue. actually if we involve universities, government agencies and corporate sectors the projects will continue if we plan and monitor it properly. In this programme I am promoting planting trees on campus. We can see many are following the ideas to keep kampus green. Why not we learn how to respect, recognise and appreciate others working together and pool the resources. May be we should have a secretariat to organise and promoting tree planting on campus. We did on recycling at the universities. Five universities are involve. so far UPM, UKM, USIM, UTHM and UPSI.

We cannot be happy if we just reporting the incident and planning for actions. We need to work harder for wildlife conservation. All have to work together government policies, laws and regulations, collabortion between government department, NGOs, public etc. Education on wildlife conservation must be continued.

False Degree, Quality Assurance, Data base of government staff with valid degree, data base on graduan with special codes (eg UPM-PhD-2018-no metric) were discussed many time before and I commented in 2012. Now the issue came out again. why we do not find the solution when the problem arise. We like to discuss and show who champion in talking not action.
