SWEETS
Just received a Pakistani sweets package from my PhD student Usman. It comes all the way from Pakistan! So grateful for thoughtful gestures like this that make our academic journey even sweeter! #PhDLife #Grateful #InternationalConnections
LAND ADMIN MPHIL VIVA
Exciting news! Today, I had the privilege of being the chairman for the MPhil viva session for Ungku Khalsom Sofia binti Ungku Yusoff. The session was a huge success and I am thrilled to announce that the student has passed with flying colors! We had the pleasure of having Dr. Zurinah from UKM as the external examiner and Dr. Tan Liat Choon from UTM as the internal examiner. Congratulations YM Ungku on this remarkable achievement! #MPhilViva #SuccessStory #Chairman #highereducation #Education #AchievementUnlocked
PLANNING MALAYSIA
Exciting news! Our latest journal paper titled “Late Strata Titles Delivery: Insights and Impact To High Rise Housing Development” has just been published in the Planning Malaysia Journal (Volume 21, Issue 1, 2023). This paper delves into the implications of delayed strata title delivery on high-rise housing development, providing valuable insights for the field.

ESRI YOUNG SCHOLAR AWARD 2023
Feeling incredibly honored to be selected as a juror for the ESRI Young Scholar Award 2023! I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the organizer ESRI Malaysia for entrusting me with this responsibility. It was truly inspiring to review the outstanding work of so many talented young scholars. Also, I couldn’t agree more with ESRI’s mission to support local young scholars. It’s important to nurture the next generation of spatial thinkers, and I’m proud to be a part of an organization initiatives that values that. Let’s continue to support and uplift our local GIS scholars!

IFTAR 2023
Our lab’s day out. I am happy to invite my MPhil and PhD students for an Iftar session. Sorry for my students who are in their home country, maybe next time we can have this Iftar session again. No academic research discussion today. Only food and chit chat.
PUBLISHED AND WE GOT IT OPEN ACCESS (FOR FREE)!
Successfully published our research paper in volume 41 for the third edition this year (2023). The interesting part of our study this time is we observe the habits of litter in the community. Quite surprised with the amount of litter we collected within our research area. With the help of geospatial analysis techniques, we can see trends.
However, research is only an instrument for studying the effects of this waste. But the most important thing is the attitude to keep our place clean. Please don’t litter everywhere, guys. We talk about the SDGs, the Sustainable City, the Green Life, etc., but it is useless if there is no right “litter” attitude. It all starts with you (and me).
Title: Within cluster pattern identification: A new approach for optimizing recycle point distribution to support policy implementation on waste management in Malaysia.

MPHIL PROPOSAL DEFENSE
Congratulations to Nor Safizah Ponachi on your MPhil proposal defense. Your determination signifies in the output you produced in the findings. Keep it up!
PHD INDUSTRY DEFENSE
Congratulations Shanmugapathy Kathitasapathy on your excellent PHD defense. I’m delighted to be part of the session.
Spending my 3 hours time with final-year BSc Geoinformatics students under my supervision. This mock proposal is not obligated; rather, it is intended to teach students the fundamentals of delivering a proposal defence presentation as well as future presentations (after graduation). This is not a lecturer’s KPI; people say it only adds work. But, regardless of what others say, the important thing is that my students gain new knowledge for future use. And we had “makan-makan” at the end of the session.
SPRINGER BOOK CHAPTER 2023
I would like to share about our first publication of this year. Its a book chapter in Springer research book.
This chapter discusses on how noise mapping is constructed in 3D for the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) campus area. It is also the first approach made in UTM to visualize noise impacts in 3D. We use the techniques available in 3D city modeling to obtain the results of this study. More findings can be found in the chapter.
This research is sponsored by UTM research grant. We would like to thank to UTM for giving us the opportunity to conduct this research. Here is the information about the book chapter:
