Another contribution to tapir Conservation. Now with university's students

May be Malaysian know panda more than tapir because Panda have more publicity compared to tapir. We need to make more publicity for tapir in Malaysia, more information to schools, in local media etcetera. At the same time we need more research on Tapit in Malaysia. Big plantation companies such as IOI, Sime Darby, Felda, Genting and others should support the research grants.

Medaka fish in this case Javanese Medaka which is local species need to be highlighted as one of the important species in basic research and indicator. WHY we use other foreign species.

Many years a go was suggested for better record on local graduate in order to ensure their degree is true. We must have the system that is easy to refer. Beside that we need to control the quality of the thesis too.

Malaysians shameful third world mentality (NST): Where we should start to change habit, sensitivity and mind set of our local people towards healthy living. Same with attitude of throwing rubbish and managing the solid waste.

Straits of Malacca have its own history tnat cannot be deleted. Now it is the busiest straits in the world connecting east and the west. Malaysia did not take full opportunity to get the best out of the straits. What we are facing now is pollution. We have MASDEC (Malacca Straits Research and Development Centre) long time a go at UPM (Universiti Putra Malaysia) to study all aspects science, ecology, socio-economy and politics of the Straits of Malacca. we need to reactivate MASDEC. Pollution is one of the big issue along the Straits of Malacca and effecting daily life of human population along the coastal areas. An urgent action need to be done especially rapid and greedy land reclamation in the Malaysia and Indonesia now.

This is another great challenge to biodiversity, mosquitoes, virology, ecology, medicines and diseases. What is the best way to solve it? kill mosquitoes, destroy mosquitoes habitat, kill virus, develop immune system in human, develop medicine, etc. It will be an integrated approaches. As I mention earlier dengue is not just killing mosquitoes or avoiding them BUT beyond that. We cannot wait with any ceremonial statement anymore, we need to work fast before too late.
