Serving UKMS for more than a decade, and another half with UKM Bangi, I am turning 40 last April 1999. The hairs turn greyish, and surely a lot of secondary growth, I will continue my contribution to the taxonomy of Malesian plants, and will continue to be active in the cyberspace. We also hope to be a leader in the biodiversity informatics.

This photo was taken in Tokyo (March 1999) while representing Malaysia in the Asian Biodiversity Information Networking, hosted by the Japan Bioindustry Association.
