When involve education we need to look in detail on what we need and what we do not want. The most important is the quality of our graduate and how they functioning at work especially in term of thinking, adaptability and making decision. University is not a human factories. We cannot follow what other people are doing to their people. We must follow our way. What we need according to our culture, religion, nation and future generation. Studies need to be done!!!

Jack Ma said he learned from MSC (multimedia super corridor) created by Dr. Mahathir the Prime Minister of Malaysia. Japanese said they developed after Portuguese arrived their country. Why we need to go to Finland to learn about education systems, technology and attitude if Jack ma and Japanese recognised that Portuguese come to Malacca first before Japan and We already have MSC.

The first three Europeans to arrive in Japan in 1543 werePortuguese traders António Mota, Francisco Zeimoto and António Peixoto (also presumably Fernão Mendes Pinto). They arrived at the southern tip of Tanegashima, where they would introduce firearms to the local population.

The Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) program was officially inaugurated by the fourth Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad on 12 February 1996. The establishment of the MSC program was crucial to accelerate the objectives of Vision 2020 and to transform Malaysia into a modern state by 2020, with the adoption of a knowledge-based society framework

To day public concern on Green areas of Bukit Cherakah and the most important of Environment Sensitive Area. If we see the aerial view of Bukit Cherakah forest clearly show that the areas are shrinking. New Government must take immediate decision on conserving the area not just for wildlife and nature but the green area. All people especially the locals must be educated about nature and also be careful with those who are pretending care about nature but the are destroying the nature. The authorities must move forward to protect and conserve the Bukit Cherakah forest. Forest Department must advise the state government to review the classification of forest in the states. May be Bukit Cherakah can be a state park for nature education and recreation.

educating public and promoting nature conservation is not an easy task. We need to involve all from students to politician and from seminar to media. BUT how many are appreciating activists and researchers on nature and environment. We need more recognition and awards to local activists and experts!!!!

Comments seven years a go about ideas from public to the ministers. many are business interest rather than public welfares. We must change towards the real world sustainability, demand for survival and not greedy to make money and not for the interest of public.

"kadang-kadang idea akar umbi tidak sampai ke atas kerana sikap ketua atau prosidur. Sebab itu ada demonstrasi jalanan. Bagaimana nak amalkan ketelusan sebenar, keberkesanan penghantaran mesej, rakyat didahulukan dan pencapaian diutamakan."

Rapid development in southern Johor and Singapore and increasing activities in the narrowest part of the Strait of Malacca, give pressure to Ramsar Site in the Southern tip of mainland Asia. World must look in to this to protect and conserve this historic and unique ecosystem which have high value in nature. We cannot be primitive enough by simply think of mangrove swamps are unproductive ecosyatems and should be change ti business infrasturectures. The authorities must think again and educating public and the locals on the conservation of the ramsar Sites in Johor the southern tip of mainland Asia. NGOs must support and help the authorities to protect the area.

it is too much if 25 tapir died in one year hit by vehicles. If only 1000 tapir in Malaysia we cannot see tapir anymore soon. Tapir with scientific name Tapirus indicus is unique in Malaysia. The bigest tapisr species in Malaysia and the highest number reported is in Peninsular Malaysia. We need to conserve them NOW. Perhilitan as the authority to take care of wildlife in Peninsular Malaysia must do something. Not just informing rules and regulations and number of tapir. We must improve current laws and regulation, educating public and updating information on wildlife including tapir. In case of road kills, all authorities such as Jabatan Kerja Raya, Lembaga Lebuh Raya Malaysia, Jabatan Perhutanan, Majlis Daerah and Perhilitan must have monthly meeting to improve situation and avoiding road accident. Please do not forget non Government Organisation such as Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) to involve in the action plans. We cannot wait until no more tapir.

According to Perhilitan director-general Datuk Abdul Kadir Abu Hashim, a total of 25 tapirs died last year after being hit by vehicles.

‘The tapir is a nocturnal animal. It was probably moving after mating or it was looking for food,” he told the Star Online when contacted.

“We can only hope that drivers are careful and alert where there are signboards and along places where there are forests,” he added.

He said there was an estimated population of over 1,000 tapirs in the country.

Abdul Kadir said that the population of the iconic Malaysian animal has dropped due to several factors, including the loss of their forest habitat.

The tapir is a fully protected species under the Wildlife Act 2010 (Act 716).

Based on Perhilitan's statistics, a total of 2,444 wildlife have been roadkill victims from 2012 to 2017.

Over the period, monitor lizards recorded the highest number of roadkills at 764, followed by civet cats (446), monkeys (439), wild boars (265), snakes (147) and wild cats (88).

Threatened wildlife species that have been victims of roadkill are tapirs (69), sun bears (6), elephants (4), mountain goats (2), panthers (2) and tiger (1).

The Malay Dilemma is a book written by Mahathir bin Mohamad in 1970, 11 years before he became Malaysia's 4th Prime Minister. I think every malays must read this book. Agree or Disagree is not important. The most important thing is analyse the content and depart the thinking and actions after analyse the book. May be the book will guide the directions of life towards better malays.

May be we need to have a regular forum on science as we used to have at Petrosains KLCC. Universities also can do it. Call panels from academia, private sectors, industries and probably entrepreneurs to discuss and school children to motivate them into science. Why we need more scientists in developed country.




Muslim scientists should lead in studying science of fasting in Ramadhan not just socio-economic aspects. Science aspects of Ramadhan cannot finish until we find something interesting for human kind.




Since our ecology and habitat are very dynamic, continuous research on viruses and wildlife are needed. We cannot wait until the outbreak of the diseases.
