Dear Readers,<br />
Welcome <strong>to</strong> the second issue of Marine Frontier@<strong>UniKL</strong>!<br />
We are happy that we are keeping <strong>to</strong> our targeted publication plan i.e the second issue is <strong>to</strong> be published in<br />
Oc<strong>to</strong>ber 2010 after the first issue in July 2010. It shows the strong commitment of the academic staff of MI‐<br />
MET <strong>to</strong>wards research and consultancy activities. I would like <strong>to</strong> congratulate the Edi<strong>to</strong>rial group under the<br />
able leadership of coordinating edi<strong>to</strong>r, Pn. Nurshahnawal Yaacob for the excellent work of getting the second<br />
issue out on time.<br />
As the journey progresses, we are now going<br />
<strong>to</strong> embark on improving quality, after getting<br />
the quantity! We will improve as we go along<br />
our journey so that “Marine Frontier@<strong>UniKL</strong>”<br />
will be a quality journal after a full year of pub‐<br />
lication. We will be looking at clustering the<br />
articles under different research areas grouped<br />
within the Departments or sections of <strong>MIMET</strong>.<br />
We are going <strong>to</strong> cast our net wider for research<br />
articles from within Malaysian Universities and<br />
research bodies or even international. Anything<br />
related <strong>to</strong> maritime studies including education<br />
is within our ambit and are welcome.<br />
I am glad <strong>to</strong> inform that we have already ob‐<br />
tained our ISSN Number recently: ISSN 2180‐<br />
4907. This means that our Marine Fron‐<br />
tier@<strong>UniKL</strong> can and will be distributed widely.<br />
<strong>MIMET</strong> Technical Bulletin Volume 1 (2) 2010<br />
We would like <strong>to</strong> receive feedback from our<br />
dear readers so that we can keep improving<br />
our technical bulletin. Intending authors are<br />
welcome <strong>to</strong> send in contributions. A guide for<br />
authors is also given at the end of this issue.<br />
Once again, congratulations <strong>to</strong> the Edi<strong>to</strong>rial<br />
group for a job well done.<br />
Happy Reading!<br />
