Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad warned that Malays will be left behind in the acquisition of knowledge if the government continues to neglect the teaching of science and mathematics in the English language: Why we are still talking about something already well discussed many years ago. I am in Poland now and we are discussed in english. Many books in Polish, original or translated. How many books are translated to Bahasa Malaysia and how many books on science in Bahasa Malaysia. We still use old pantun "Pisang Emas Di Bawa Belayar, Masak sebiji di atas peti. Hutang Emas boleh diBayar, Hutang Budi dibawa Mati".

Very excited today because I found this animals near road side while I was driving, two of them. This picture from internet. Tomorrow I will hunt for them again in the largest marshland in Poland


I have the opportunity to visit Poland under European Union Social Development Programme "Enhancing Education Potential".

The Biebrza Marshes (Biebrza Valley) are a complex series of habitats, located on the Biebrza river valley, in Suwałki, Łomża in the northeast of Poland. The area encompasses river channels, lakes, extensive marshes with wooded areas on higher ground and well-preserved peat bogs that occupy around 1,000 km2. The area shows a clear succession of habitats from riverside fen through to raised bogs, grading into wet woodland. Because of this unique succession, the area supports vast numbers of wildlife with many birds and mammals common.

In Poland too they are struggling in maintaining their National Parks. Always have conflict between scientists, park managers, politician and business people. But may be they are more systematic especially when European Union involve.
