11 MTCP Alumni Newsletter<br />
Mirzet Seho, 25, from Bosnia & Herzegovina, has a double degree in Economics and Islamic Revealed Knowledge &<br />
Heritage. He is currently pursuing his Master’s of Science in Finance at International Islamic University of Malaysia.<br />
“I believe this is a great thing that every Malaysian should be proud of. I am very thankful to the Malaysian Government<br />
and its people for providing me with this golden opportunity. I pray to God and hope that in future MTCP can allocate<br />
more scholarships to students especially from my country, and I hope that students under this programme will network<br />
with each other. I would like to make a few suggestions:<br />
- Create a way of connecting us with one another, where we can communicate and build a proper or maybe official<br />
academic relation.<br />
- Stay in touch with us even after the end of the program and look us up in our country. I’m willing to work with any<br />
Malaysians, they are great.<br />
Thanks a lot and best wishes in your work.”<br />
guo Chentao, 32, from China, has a degree in Economics. He is currently pursuing a his Master’s degree in Strategy<br />
and Diplomacy, a joint programme of the National University of Malaysia (UKM) and Institute of Diplomacy And Foreign<br />
Relations (IDFR).<br />
“Malaysians are very helpful, kind and supportive. It is a gift to study here. The content of my study here is well-structured<br />
and very useful. I am sure I can learn a lot from this course and make use of all the education and experience that I<br />
gained back in my country later.<br />
In addition, I find that Malaysia’s education standard is very high, which will benefit a lot of the students choosing to<br />
study here. It is an honour to be awarded the MTCP scholarship.”<br />
Consolatha ishebabi, 44, from Tanzania, has a Master’s degree in Development Studies. She is currently pursuing<br />
her PhD degree in Development Science at National University of Malaysia (UKM).<br />
“It was really marvelous when I got the MTCP scholarship to join UKM. My experience in Malaysia has been interesting<br />
and challenging. The interesting part is the cooperation I have been getting from various Malaysian people throughout<br />
my stay especially at the university where I spend most of my life. People are always ready to assist you whenever you<br />
need their assistance. I have also made great friends who consider me as part of their families. The challenging part is<br />
the language. I used to feel uncomfortable when I meet people who inquire about my country but I fail to respond due<br />
to my poor Bahasa Melayu. After attending the Bahasa Melayu course for one year, I am fluent in the language. My<br />
two supervisors are very supportive. They are always there whenever I knock their doors. Finally, I have always enjoyed<br />
Malaysian culture, as it is not difficult to cope with it. People are very friendly and they are ready to assist whenever<br />
you ask. They are also eager to know from me about my country.”<br />
Amit Jheengut, from the Ministry of Environment and National Development, Mauritius, attended the MTCP course on<br />
Environmental <strong>Management</strong> and Pollution Control, at EiMAS, DOE, 7 - 25 August 2006.<br />
“This course is very useful for me. As an officer in the Ministry’s Unit of Environment, I need to know everything about<br />
Environmental <strong>Management</strong> and Pollution Control. Although I’m in charge of Integrated Coastal Zone <strong>Management</strong>,<br />
but after this course if I’m transferred to another Unit, for example EIA, I will be able to carry out my job because I<br />
have learnt what EIA is all about. Likewise, before this, I never had the opportunity to see what an air pollution control<br />
equipment like a bag filter looks like. But now, at least I know how it looks like. One more thing that I’m very fascinated<br />
with is the close working relationship between the Government agencies in Malaysia and the private sector. I will make<br />
sure that at least one Mauritian will attend this course next year.”<br />
Wilma Felisa R. uyaco, from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Philippines, attended the MTCP<br />
course on Environmental <strong>Management</strong> and Pollution Control, at EiMAS, DOE, 7 - 25 August 2006.<br />
“There are a lot of ideas gained from this course, which we have put into an Action Plan and will be proposed to our top<br />
management. Some, which are within the DENR’s jurisdiction, can be implemented immediately, while others may take<br />
some time as they need to be agreed upon by other related agencies as well. Among the ideas that we will propose are:<br />
the inclusion of requirements for installing a device to monitor and maintain control facilities, in the Permits to Operate;<br />
having facilities like PUSPAKOM to carry out vehicular emission tests; contract out to a private entity similar to ASMA<br />
for conducting continuous ambient air and water quality monitoring, thus doing away with the crude way; as well as<br />
improvement in our toxic and hazardous wastes management. The most important knowledge/idea we learnt from the<br />
Malaysians is the unending desire of the people, either from the Government or private sector, to increase awareness<br />
on the importance of proper environmental management.”<br />
duong Thi Thanh Xuyen, from the Environment Protection Agency, Vietnam, attended the MTCP course on Environmental<br />
<strong>Management</strong> and Pollution Control, at EiMAS, DOE, 7 - 25 August 2006.<br />
“The contents of this training course are useful for our professional role in environmental management and pollution<br />
control. Experiences and knowledge gained from this MTCP course will be applied in Vietnam and will be transferred to<br />
other young scientists and managers to meet the needs of sustainable development in Vietnam and the ASEAN region.<br />
Among them include: promoting and encouraging the private sector to be involved in environmental monitoring such as<br />
air quality monitoring, dissemination of environmental information via the Air Pollutant Index (API) system, zero burning<br />
replanting technique for rubber and coconut state-run farms and paddy fields, expanding the model for recycling and<br />
recovery of toxic and hazardous waste, licensing procedure for toxic and hazardous waste treatment companies and<br />
last but not least, enforcement of erosion and sediment control in development projects.”
