As I mentioned earlier in my Blog, we were too comfort with our history. Now with new development in basic sciences and technologies, history become more interesting. Malaysis need to have more historian to analyse in many angle of events and evidence of history. We discussed a lot on the Malysian history such as Hang Tuah and his firiends, sultans, communists (CPM), immigration of Malaysian, including wildlife. About the CPM, Japanese and British time, we can have an interesting research until we we have independent and Y generation. If we are not clear by today, we will see a lot of conflict in defination of our history.

There is a flawed perception that the fight against the CPM was a battle only between the Chinese-dominated movement and the Malay-majority soldiers and police. Many innocent Chinese lives were also taken by the CPM.http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2013/09/29/Remembering-heroes-and-villains.aspx

World War I and World War II continue to force many countries preparing for weapons to fight their potential enemy or continuously bully other country. What make competition for weapons technologies coontinues. Economy, political power, oil/energy, water or just for fun. Scientists usually develop scientific ideas for human life; comfortable, harmony, quality food and safe environment to live. If scientific findings are misused for human power then world are not stable. We still have time if we can think and put understanding to live in harmony in this world.

Public education and awareness on environment is very important. Complete understanding among leaders and scientists on ecology is needed. May be some country can help the world issues on climate change. Rich, employment and lifestyle are not everything. The most importanat thing is save and comfort to live and eat quality food for health and enjoy life. Because of greedy life some people are suffered and demand for equal lifestyle which not everybody need. Then we are fighting for space, unnecessary luxury life, destroy environment, polluting air and water whis are basic need for our life. Scientists must be strong sacrifice their status go down to the grass root talk about environment and climate change before too late and wasting energy, money and time for natural disaster.

Leading climate scientists said on Friday they were more convinced than ever that humans are the main culprits for global warming, and predicted the impact from greenhouse gas emissions could linger for centuries.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said in a report that a hiatus in warming this century, when temperatures have risen more slowly despite growing emissions, was a natural variation that would not last.
It said the Earth was set for more heatwaves, floods, droughts and rising sea levels from melting ice sheets that could swamp coasts and low-lying islands as greenhouse gases built up in the atmosphere.

Sitting alone writing papers is only part of lecturers duties. Lecturers must update their knowledge to compete with the world, discuss the strategies how to produce quality graduates which able to compete with other world class universities, fulfill world class jobs market and follow through the students progress. Universities are not just research institute and lecturers are not just a researchers. The students are future intelects and they are not just a research assistant. All lecturers must start to change their mind sets and transform their mind.

As I mentioned earlier in my Blog, without continuous fundamental research we will never control dengue. It is complex and complicated not just integrated basic sciences but may be engineering and social sciences. Ministers not just concern about research and commercial products but activate more monitoring and basic research!

The biodiversity study done at the 400-million-year-old Gunung Kanthan in Perak will include independent experts recommended by conservation groups: We need to consult our own experts and NGOs who love oure nature and country. Why we want to follow what foreigners say and determine our industry. We can mine underground.

Wildlife researchers are counting on parasites to be the warning signals for the health conditions of endangered Bornean elephants: An example of reasearch that easily can be done by local students. Just need small budget. Why we need to depend and collaborate with foreign universities for this kind of research. Leaders problems!
