Salam and hi everyone...
Just to inform u all that UMS will join BIMP-EAGA in organizing "Research & Development Forum - Towards Finding Solution To The Challenges Facing The Seaweed Industry In BIMP-EAGA". The forum will be held in Kota Kinabalu (will updates about the place later once it's confirmed) from 1st - 3rd July 2009.
I'm one of the committee member of the forum and i will be so occupied from next week onwards. As you all know BIMP-EAGA stands for Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia and Philippines - East Asia Growth Area. And since last two years, we've (UMS) been a committee member of Seaweed R&D for BIMP-EAGA. It is been a great opportunity for us to build a 'solid body' for our seaweed community here in Malaysia that will helps to bust the development of the commodity itself.
Our fifth prime minister, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has been so kind to includes seaweed in high impact project and our government has injected a big sum of money to make sure this project growing. And it is really a good news for us!! We've (UMS) been in this project since 1999 and together with Department Fisheries of Sabah, Fisheries Development Authority of Malaysia (SABAH and KL), MoA, Ministry of Rural, we worked hard to bring this project to a local community in Sabah especially to help the hard core poor.
Hence, we hope from the forum, we will come out with one solution to maintain seaweed industry in Malaysia and hopefully seaweed will become one of main commodity export besides palm oil and rubber. In future, we really hope that there will be "Seaweed Development Authority of Malaysia"!!
