Message from
the Director
Dear Valued
Subscribers
We have
just launched MABIC’s new logo and direction
and now heading towards an extremely busy year. It
was fantastic to meet some of you at our launch and
my sincere appreciation to you for sharing those moments
with us.
With the
renewed commitments to promote biotechnology, you
can expect to see more output from MABIC in terms
of publications, events and programmes. It is our
hope that all our efforts will support the government’s
agenda to bring this field to the helm.
Before,
we could even recover from the exhaustion of organizing
the launch, we are on our toes again. Next month,
we are taking two journalists to Islamabad, Pakistan
to attend a Journalists Exchange Programme. Members
of the media are one of our core stakeholders as they
have the power to dictate the public’s perception
on biotechnology. Thus, it is important for this group
to be well informed and exposed to the reality of
biotechnology. This will ensure factual information
being conveyed to the public and we hope to have more
journalists programmes outside the country in future.
As usual
your comments and suggestions are valuable to us.
We look forward to hearing from you.
A HAPPY
AND PROSPEROUS CHINESE NEW YEAR!
Sincerely,
Mahaletchumy Arujanan
Program Director
