On Oct 22, I travelled to TNB DIstribution Bangi for the internship visit. Three students are involved. I was greeted by the Head of GIS, TNBD, Mr Had Kadir and of course Mr Nik Fadhil, one of my student a long time ago. So glad to see the advancement of GIS at TNBD. I knew that those students obtained many experiences especially when handling the real projects.
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.
Was invited to the above event by YSL given the capacity as their Research Fellow. The venue was Kompleks Parlimen Malaysia. The event provides valuable views and insights on the environment and climate change from various NGOs. The event was officiated by YB Dato Seri Tuan Ibrahim Bin Tuan Man as the Shadow Minister for Environment, Science and Commodity.
As the chair for Permuafakatan PPKI SKTU1 (a subset under PIBG), I was given the opportunity for a speech during this event. These are the gorgeous kids, Zaki’s colleague. Hopefully their parents are given the utmost patience when raising these anak syurga insyaALlah.
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.
Thank you for the opportunity. Find out more on YSL at https://www.yslestari.org.my/
