more than 10 years ago I said Halal business is not for the Muslim interest because the business community are mainly non Muslim. So all non Muslim halal business man must have halal certificate. This International Halal Village I saw majority of the participants are non Muslim. WHY not we have all halal because the market for halal is big and good opportunity. .

We need to talk to plants to make us healthy. We need to plant many herbs in our garden or one corner of our house to get the smell or natural therapy. Make is as a hobby and feel the treatment of old age.

Continuous contribution through media on nature conservation. NOT that easy to convince and promoting wildlife conservation like horn bills. We cannot be like national geography. They have money. we dont have anything; experts, technology, technical person, will, money and all the things that involve in film making. May be what we have only ideas or dreams.

I think the theory of ending of the world is right after no more animal live in the world. Human are responsible for the animal extinction. With world plastic pollution and habitat loss how wildlife can survive. Plastic pollution can never be cleaned. Stop using plastic and manage them well. Plastic killing baby turtle and sea birds how we can get the adult? Think about it.

To change public mindset is not easy. I used to say we need 6 generations to change people lifestyle, thinking and perceptions. May be with new media and technologies we can change faster. This time we talked about conserving malayan tiger.

My more than ten years collaboration with the Coca-cola in water vision and recycling programmes, I can see how the company is at the top in the world. We need to learn from them. Last time I suggested to learn from Manchester United because they were at the top. Now they keep loosing. WHY? Sometime we need to get out from shadow.

Unfinished issues when we do not have strong knowledge, skill, expertise, technology and good governance. The authorities must learn past experience and always refer to the experts. We need to look all past experience on chemical pollution in water or in the air holistically. We cannot create time bomb industries.

We need to change our mind set towards Orang Asli. They need mental and physical development. They need proper settlement, quality food and health to survive like others in Malaysia. We cannot keep them or preserve them as primitive living environment.

We know the problems, we know the solution and we know how to do it. BUT why we took so long to solve the problems. Are we serious in solving the issues? May we are too weak, no strong rules and regulations, no experts, no money, ....OR we just want to let it cool and continue polluting our environment. Remember Malaysia is no 8 plastic polluter in the world. Need quick solution.

The government agencies must show heir commitment in conserving nature and protect the quality of pristine water.. Orang Asli need to be educated and give then proper health support. With technologies and knowledge that we have surely we can tell the truth with doubt on the kes of Orang Asli death in Kuala Koh. Science never lie.

knowledge and awareness among Malaysian on biodiversity are increasing BUT the implementation is still not inline with policies. We need more experts, volunteers and volunteers to talk and take action to help the government. The nature lovers need more knowledge and the experts need to educate the public clearly so that they are not too extreme. We need to protect sensitive species and habitat. Listen to the experts. No time to race to argue when the development growing rapidly. We are racing against extinction.

Which one is more important. collaborating with the foreign experts or wait for our scientists do study our wildlife. many more studies on primates are needed and we definitely cannot wait because the conflicts are increase, the solution is needed urgently. What we can do may be strengthen the rules and regulation and encourage the young scientists to develop their interest in field biology. NOT just complaining on the keyboard and spread viral.

Managing rivers not just for flood mitigation and waste management BUT the ecology of river systems for better ecological services and socio-economy benefits.

The picture below was taken 7 years a go. Contribution from corporate sector is very significant to move public awareness on nature conservation.
