Our neighbour also interested to collaborate with us especially when they know UPM is real number one in Malaysia and Malaysia will develope programme Bangsa Moro in Mindanao. This group interested to work on pollution, fish and tropical ecology in general. we have few PhD holders graduated from UPM in coastal ecology and migratory shore birds.

We discussed on the possibility of having short student attachment on tropical ecology from two universities in Manila.

This ugly and small place is visited by many top scientists in fish ecology and medaka fishes from USA, Mexico, Indonesia, Thailand, Japan, Philippines. This make top scientists support me because I keep working eventhough my laboratory is not as  good as others.
