On Oct 22, three representatives from UTM FABU headed by Dr Imzan Hassan, Mr Wan Hazli Wan Kadir and me, myself went to MySA in KL for an engagement meeting. Chairing the meeting is Mr Azlikamil Napiah, the Director General himself. We discussed some way forward for both UTM FABU and MySA to foster more research and project in the field of GIS and Remote Sensing.
On Jan 23, I accompanied Umar for capturing the landslide vulnerability data of physical infrastructures around Sireh Park, JB and its surrounding areas. Sireh Park is thought to be the largest urban park in Malaysia and few incidents of landslides and slope failure are really alarming. This is due to the availability of a lot of houses and roads around Sireh Park. Alhamdulillah, the findings of this study is conveyed to the SIreh Park authority for further consideration.

I developed the barista thingy when in Australia, circa 2008 – 2014 during when I further my MSc and PHD at Curtin Uni Perth. My supply of beans are non-stop, still got a couple of 500g – 1kg bags in the kitchen.
As a special kid, Zaki cannot circumcise like his normal colleague. These kids will have to undergo a minor operation under the General Anesthetic (GA) to make sure they will not jump from the bed during the procedure hehe.
Was given the opportunity for a speech under the capacity as Deputy Chair of PIBG SMK Seri Pulai Perdana. The program was held at UTM Outward Bound Campsite, nice place, https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZwTtqUmNJAgpdwHt9

Amos is doing something on landslide hazard while Intan is focusing on landslide vulnerability towards TNB’s assets.
Alhamdulillah. Umar completed his masters with flying colours. He started his 1st semester abroad as the MCO made it still stringent to enter the country, only during the 2nd semester he came here. Umar received a scholarship from his country, Nigeria to pursue his masters here, given he is the lecturer in one of the college there.
I was given the opportunity to supervise his Master’s project which managed to publish one journal article in Geografia, WoS indexed for his work on the landslide vulnerability at Sireh Park. Hard work paid off.
UTM FABU, as the consultant of Unit PerakGIS, UPEN Perak was invited to open a booth, we really take this opportunity to promote several GIS/geospatial program, undergraduate and postgraduate. We also highlighted our research strength and projects we handle throughout the nation.
I was also given the opportunity to chair a forum session which focuses on the digitalisation effort to ensure the food security aspect. Another forum on geospatial data sharing was chaired bt our fellow colleague, Dr Azman Ariffin.
