As President of Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) many journalists asked my comment about budget 2019. For environment I can say not very clear especially for nature. BUT since many ministries are involved in nature so all must contribute in reclaiming and protecting nature. In the forst place the officers and ministers must understand about nature protection and conservation. Malaysia as top 12 megabiodiversity in the world integrated approaches are needed.

There are many schools in Kedah watching this scenery twice a year. Unfortunately when I asked students from Kedah at the university failed to explain in detail about the process and cycle of paddy planting in Kedah. May be we need to have a specific module related ecological process outside their classroom. This can be one way of teaching science effectively.
