Studies on mosquitoes not a ceremonial thing and looking for paten and publications. Studies on mosquitoes is about human health and diseases. Funders and government agencies must understand.

Orang Asli need to be taught and use clean water, not just telling them but help to get it and manage the water systems

In many cases basic sciences are important, just a simple observation and thinking caan make task easy. For example in the case of water supply as picture below, gravity and water levels can solve water problems in orang asli houses.

they have water tanks and all good piping systems but unfortunately the tanks are below the houses and the water sources lower than the tank and house location.

Studies on swamp forest is very important because it have good biodiversity, unique ecological process and function and very important when we talk on corbon pollution and corbon trade.

BUT we must wait until young scientists from Europe to tell us about swamp forest, carbon deposit and what to do because we naturally do not believe in local scientists.

Why orang asli are still left behind and they are not well educated. May be after no more forest and no place to move then they will be forced to developed or living in urban areas. Like aborigines in Australia.

 They need to be educated on food, health, accommodation and managing daily healthy life

I feel sad after talking to few retired teachers yesterday who are frustrated with the systems, administration and the government. They suggested to me if we are going to be a developed nation we must change the current government. We cannot wait any longger. I asked them why? They said for over 30 years in schools the systems is not effective and government especially umno disturbing teaching in schools. I asked them how to solve the problems. they kept saying change the government. I asked them who teaching in the class? They said teachers. Why teachers do not teach so that we can produce the future generation that we need. How many report on action research do you have? if 30 years may be I expected 300 reports. The report perhaps we can solve all local education problems. They kept saying change the government then we can change to what we want. I think they are having wrong thinking and education values. I told them very lucky they are retiered and may be good suggestion change the teachers not the government.

The ministry need to do something on the education at local levels as well as national levels. Education is not adhoc actions even flood mitigation and monsoon preparation is not adboc. Involve professors! (opps!! real professors please)
