May be young Malaysian do not see this note anymore.

Who cares !!! BUT for nature lovers, conservationist, those who are involves in nature protection and conservation need to work hard. Nature conservation awareness among public need to be enhanced, more research need to be done. Attract more young scientists, more grants, respect those seniour scientists in order the knowledge is well transfered to the young one. All leaders related to the issues must aware and take actions.

I missed this issue because I was out station and cannot be reached by phone. I saw many miss call from KOSMO. We need to reformulate the function of orang asli, buffer zone and permanent forest reserve. We need data and reactivate the monitoring activities by the authorities or relook at the approach and policies.

Talking to about 400 Body Combat participants at Kota Damansara. We need more support from youth for nature protection and conservation. MNS and all cannot stop from giving awareness to public especially the young ones.

Malaysian government instituted the 60:40 Science/Technical: Arts (60:40) Policy in education in 1967 and started implementing it in 1970 The target not achieved. 45% Science stream + technical & vocational, 2014. Met the requirement but chose not to do science in the upper secondary increased to 15%. May be we extend STEM in to ESTEEM. What is ESTEEM? it is English, Science, Technology, Engineering, Entrepreneurship and Mathematics. The authority must think a long this line in order to attract young generation into science and creating their own career in Science based industry or entrepreneurship. Call experts to come out with ideas and way to do it effectively in short period. Don't call the actors or those who are in position to lead. Call the right person with confident to implement. Time is running out for Malaysia. Less politic and more active actions.

Malaysian STEM programme under the Ministry of Education Malaysia aims to Prepare students with the skills to meet the science and technology challenges and To ensure that Malaysia has a sufficient number of qualified STEM graduates. BUT since 1970 after government has donne various actions and approaches, the percentage students go in to sciences are decreasing. A serious thought is needed in STEM approach. We need right person to lead and doing it. The process is not a ceremonial but truly apply for STEM. Probably we need to enhance STEM in to ESTEEM to meet current demand and interest of the young generation.

We are talking about STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) from school children to the policy makers, from parents to professors, BUT how far we achieved? We need to move aggressively if we want to compete with other developed countries especially with our neighbour. We must have dynamic thinking in science teaching approach make young students attracted ton sciences. As I mentioned many times, environmental education can make students thinking about science and fulfill government mission on HOTS etc.
