Puncak Niaga advocates a sustainable future The Malaysia International Biological Symposium 2014 (i-SIMBIOMAS 2014) was held at Palm Garden Hotel IOI Resort, Putrajaya on 28-29 October 2014. This symposium is a biennial event organised by the Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Universiti Putra Malaysia; to provide a platform for an international gathering to discuss, share, exchange of ideas and views on four domains in biological science studies: biodiversity and conservation, ecology, genetics and physiology. Among the renowned speakers and their presentation topics were: • Prof. Dr. Nobuyuki Miyazaki - Development of advanced technology “Bio-logging system” and its application in the conservation of wild animals and ecosystem. • Prof. Dr. Ramli Abdullah – Potential application of cloning and stem cell technologies in Malaysia. • Assoc. Prof. Dr Peter Boyce – Impact of Molecular Analyses of Rheophytic and Mesophytic Asian Araceae and its role in better understanding the origins of the flora of Sunda. YBhg. Dato Syed Danial Syed Ariffin represented Puncak Niaga (M) Sdn Bhd as one of the keynote speakers and presented a paper titled ‘Future Approach in Addressing Climate Change’ to the participants who mostly comprised of researchers, postgraduate students, experts, scientists, academicians and representatives from government and nongovernment agencies. The paper highlighted on the impact of climate change, how it affects water as one of our most fundamental basic needs to live. It also examined the readiness of water utilities to adapt and mitigate climatic change impact in which a series of adaptation & mitigation measures, both short-term and long-term, that have been carried out by the government. The paper also touches on the need to be more innovative and creative in order to achieve a “green, holistic and sustainable” solution to the climate change and that a concerted group effort is fundamental to address the issues concerned. Participation in intellectually constructive events such as this will help bolster Puncak Niaga’s image as a progressive and caring corporate citizen that plays an active role in the preservation of the environment to maintain a sustainable future for all.
