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.
