Whenever we meet the politician, top goverrnment officers and even the kings, they might ask "what lecturers or researchers are doing. Teaching cannot produce competitive graduates, research just following or copying others, what are the benefit to the country. We still talking talking about kerang and mentarang procduction, banana diseases, rice still import, chicken production and prices, and many more. These are challenge for me. We need a global looked leaders not just ceremonial leaders who can see these small things but high impact. Basic sciences are still important (Genetic, Biodiversity, Ecology, Physiology) to answer all question for long term

In recent majlis berbuka puasa bersama Tuanku Chancellor, we were talking about kerang, mentarang, pisang, kelapa, padi and other things including tourism for Selangor. Staff from Menteri Besar and Palace offices asked a lot of question that they need to know and show to public that UPM is doing something that they can see to help modern society in Selangor not just producing graduates that servicing society but not leading the society. Perhaps we need to have a show cases in Selangor on what UPM is contributing. Eg. my research and extension works on hornbills in Sungai Panjang Sabak Bernam, promoting science among children, conservation of hornbills and their habitat and promoting tourisms. We can see the results. Even though the news came out in the national prime newspaper, supported by tourism Malaysia and perhilitan and producing graduates, UPM still not keen to make is as an important  show case. Same ting as a vice president of Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) I promoting science education through nature in Selangor's schools, improving nature and conservation of Sungai Karang Forest Reserve. Somebody have to read newspapers and report to the State Governments and Palace on what UPM staffs are doing in Selangor for the benefit of Selangor people.
