In developed countries NGOs are strong and have many members volunteer in the activities. In independent country should have many NGOs that championing in the environmental issues. NGOs can be a strong voice to protect and conserving nature especially Malaysia as among top megabiodiversity countries.

Straits of Melaka is very important for the world shipping lane. The busiest one in the world. Malaysia and Indonesia must strong enough to attract internationals attention to protect the health of the straits for the benefit of the coastal fisheries and coastal erosion.
Public need to be educated to support government's policies
More contribution to academic associations to support the universities so that government's mission can be achieved.
More contribution for nature. With Malaysian Nature Society (MNS).
We know horseshoe crabs are important in term of ecology, biology and pharmaceutical values. Why we do not focus on this research seriously. Recruit more scientists and provide more funds from government and corporate with good leaders to head researches on horseshoe crabs..
Education, local culture, identity and integrity will form quality generations.,
Camera trap is one of the techniques used in wildlife ecology.
History is very important and need continuous research to strengthen knowledge and facts on the history. May be we can use scientific approach in historical research.
Motivation and encourage more students to go into science stream part of STEM (science technology engineering and mathematics) movement. National Science Challenge is one of the project to encourage STI. .
Since 2008 my contributions to nature and education still continue. We must continue and recruiting young trainers. Need more private and corporate involvement and volunteers.
Malaysia need to have more scientist on astronomy. Historically Muslims are known among the top scientists in astronomy. Why Malaysian do not continue the excellence of research in tis field.
o
four years ago in Taiwan attending APCYS (Asia Pacific Conference of Young Scientists. Malaysia need to be more active and systematically organise programme to encourage research culture starting in schools. Need to have good and qualified teachers. Ministry of Education must support this idea in order to promote science, technology and innovation. Who can help the government? Search now!!!

Fireflies: not just for celebration, tourism and business BUT conservation, nature, and sustainability. Clean rivers healthy ecosystems we can live in healthy environment.
We have many seminars for nature conservation and sustainability. How far we really practice it and messages are well delivered to the politician, economists, business man and the public. Nature and sustainability is the future sustainable economy.
How many p[people are truly cerebrating World Tiger Day and talking about conservation of tiger. We need all to talk about tiger on tiger day at least to check how far tiger conservation is practice in the country.
Some time we are too comfort forgot about education and reminding people on cleanliness and avoiding transmitted diseases. Public must respect the authorities so that we can control disease from spreading. Scientists must take this as a challenge and do more research related to this disease and human factors.
Because we are still primitive in managing wild dogs and poor in respecting others may be some technology needed how to control wild dogs in civilize society.
We are talking about environment, we are talking about protection and conservation, we are talking about history and tourism, we are talking about patriotism, we like to preserve the history of Sultan and country BUT everyday we are talking about money, development, road, traffic jam, and giving many ideas. Finally we are forgotten on what we are talking about nature, conservation, patriotism and the important in tourism and environmental and history education. We cut the trees, polluted the river and destroy the historic places. One day we do not have anything to talk about except the problems of life. By that time every thing is too late. Save Sungai Sepang and Old Sepang Police Station.
Now we do not throw cloth in landfill sites or river or sea anymore. We have new initiative and giving a second chance to our unwanted cloth for better environment.

Towards educating public in managing plastic at home and understanding the whole phenomenon of plastic pollution and threat to marine life.
International mangrove conservation day. All people in coastal areas must plant mangrove during this celebration. If not please do it now. and Department of Forestry must assist the locals and NGOs.
Public must understand about plastic pollution and strongly reject Malaysia as dumping ground for plastic. NGO must support to educate public. Politician must be honest in implementing policies.
Towards internationalisation of knowledge and strengthen regional issues on marine sciences. Malaysia is a maritime country and we cannot forget to enhance our research on marine sciences. Especially on the Straits of Melaka, South China Sea and Sulu Sea.
Now the engineers, town planners, sociologist and in fact the politician learn about human body and life systems that we have. What we have in mitochondria also referred, observed and discussed in designing human needs. Biology is important and biology is about life and study about living things. New ERA of biology will come soon (or suppose to be all the time since life is exist) to produce harmonious and balance society. We in Malaysia still not too late to change to biology and thinking biology for better life.
About six years a go I introduced a programme named "recycle to cycle" at UPM Universiti Putra Malaysia) where students can rent a bicycle by exchange with aluminium cans and plastic bottles. This is to promote green campus, free motor vehicles, less carbon emission, practice recycle, active life on campus and towards no plastic on campus. Until now still not successful and struggling to convince the top management and changing the culture of staff and students. It is very tough and need patient and creativity. Thank you Coca-cola for the support.
