I wish we have monthly talk by local scientists on our own biodiversity. Can we get it? May be after I retired three years time, with GOD permission and good health I will focus on this with MNS. Now busy with other things and no money. We need money to attract people, sponsor speakers, refreshment and communication.

 Prof Lee Grismer gave talk on frogs and snakes of Malaysia at MNS HQ on Saturday. Probably he know more about Malaysian frogs and snakes from our local scientists.

Opportunity to meet Prof Lee Grismer  who work on herpetology for more than 20 years. Why our Malaysian professors keep changing topic or scope of research. Probably we need to have more grants on biodiversity so that the researchers can focus for longer period on the specific topic. 

With Dr Ruth Kiew former professor in Department of Biology, UPM. Look what happened to herbarium after she left. Probably right if I said we depending on foreigners for biodiversity studies. We need a quick transformation.
