so many people ask me why and how did I
get into such an interesting field well
it actually started about ten years ago
when I received my st-pierre results and
it was bad all the time I was actually a
straight a scorer
up to that point in my life and I was
super disappointed so in order for me to
have a higher chance to get a spot in
one of the public universities in
Malaysia so I decided to apply for
causes that are deemed unpopular and may
have much more lenient entry
requirements and environmental science
was one of them so then I was accepted
into the University of Malaya studying
environmental science and then three
years later I graduated with a first
class honours and then I continued with
my master’s degree in green and
energy-efficient buildings in which I
spent some time in Germany working on my
master thesis so that’s my journey all
in all it was a pleasant journey so far
and I’m super grateful to all the great
lecturers that I had for being able to
instill this love towards environment in
me and I’m very grateful that I end up
liking what I have studied and right now
I was still in the environmental field
and my current job I remember clearly
that very tris sort of like
environmental friendly practices that I
practice in my life is to bring my own
food container when I pack my lunch in
the cafeteria in the university so at
that time people are not that aware
about the environment they do not care
much about it so every time me and my
friends bring our own container to the
cafe to pack our lunch the cafe
operators will always look at us like
the set of lights look like this few
people do they come from another planet
why do they even bring a gallon
containers so but fast forward to today
things have changed you don’t bring your
own container to pack your food bring
your own bag to do shop baby it’s not
very common sight that you can see
everywhere so I’m very happy to see its
positive changes in terms of Malaysians
consciousness towards the environment
people also ask me a question why am i
interested in race management out of the
many topics and subjects that I’ve
studied in the university you know from
energy management to water pollution
environmental ethics why race management
because out of this all of these topics
I feel that waste is something that
everybody can relate to waste is
something that we deal with every single
day in our life and this is something
where we need a proper on practice to
actually manage it well in order to not
own create negative impacts builds
environment in which everybody can do it
so that’s why I choose to focus on its
management now if you look at the news
if you read the news articles about
waste management issues in Malaysia
always come up especially after flash
floods now why is that so
well that’s because our drains are
clogged with waste rubbish why is this
happening why can’t we do such a simple
act of throwing a low base into a
garbage bin why are we still littering
it’s very important for us to know that
it’s something so simple which is just
to troll your face into a garbage bin
but people are not practicing it why is
that so now um we are not in the
position to say that you know there’s no
yeah we do not have the power or
authority to say that okay I want more
garbage bin on the street or I want more
frequent collection of how waste you
know this in our housing area or in your
school in a university because that is
not how it’s it’s up to the government
your own policy and stuff but me as a
normal religious citizen we can always
do
part and how we manage our own waste to
be responsible of what we produce to be
responsible of the things that after we
use it how are we going to manage it so
before I go further I would like to say
that I’m not here to share like a
fascinating idea about waste management
but rather I’m here just to share some
messages to you and to remind you that
perhaps after this you can have a better
perspective a better understanding about
waste management so if you look through
sorry
if you look through on the beams of a
normal household in Malaysia you will
find that 45 percent of the waste inside
the beam is actually food waste not just
wasted food but also food that you throw
away while of your cooking as well as
expired food next comes are the types of
materials such as plastics paper
tetrapack which is like your milk carton
and others now if you look at the chart
carefully we can actually invite the
types of ways that we throw away into
three big categories the first one the
one in the red boxes food waste and
garden waste they’re actually what we
call organic wastes these are the types
of ways that can be sort of like
degraded and processed by bacteria
through composting and at the enemy you
produce compost out of it now the other
group is what we call recyclable
materials plastics paper petrified cans
these are actually valuable and the
right way to treat them is actually to
collect them separately from your other
types of waste then this will be sent to
a recycling center where they will be
washed
crushed reprocessed into raw material to
produce new products and lastly the
remaining categories of ways these are
what we call are in general more
recyclables in which there is no viable
currently no viable technology
you probably trip them so what we do is
that to trow it into landfills landfill
is the main waste disposal method in
Malaysia and if not all over here are
aware actually landfill is just like a
piece of land where we worry our waste
in so every day the truck came over come
to your house to collect your ways then
it will be sent to landfill and at the
end of the day it will be covered with a
layer of soil so this cycle repeats
every single day now landfill is a main
waste disposal plant in Malaysia it
might not be the best available method
because there are actually many other
new technologies available but it
doesn’t mean that we couldn’t do a part
in trying to improve this situation
placement resolution Malaysia landfills
has numerous negative environmental
impacts for example if it rains
rainwater will actually stick through
this layer of waste and then this black
really creep will come out of it this is
what we call each a it’s highly toxic
and it will actually contaminate our
underground water and then degradation
of waste in landfill will actually
produce carbon dioxide and methane these
are what we call greenhouse gases which
will cost global warming therefore many
countries and also call Asia it is our
aim to actually try to reduce our amount
of waste in the landfills but are we
doing a are we ready to to work on this
during one of my work and engagement
previously I met a person he actually
gave a talk in one of the university in
Malaysia he spoke to a bunch of
university students just like moose
Olivia and he said he was shocked to
hear this comment from one of the
student debt in which he said that I
don’t care about waste management
because there are people who are paid to
actually pick up and manage my waste
so why do I even care this is very
waste is something that you
daily so shouldn’t you take
responsibility of it even though there
are people hired to manage your ways but
it doesn’t mean that you could continue
to act the way you act to pollute the
environment very simple just separate
your waste very basic idea just separate
your recyclables from your
non-recyclables and if you remember the
chart I showed earlier if you do that
you have removed up to 30 percent of
recyclable materials or 30% of your
waste from your PIN out you’re removing
it out and you’re preventing it from
reaching the landfill so I’m very happy
to see the MCL if you look around they
actually have two bins at each corner of
the building if you realize so that’s a
so that’s all you got to do you know for
you you might think that you know it’s
very simple to just buy bottled water I
drink it and I just chuck the bottle
away but did you have an encounter like
elderly folks on the street rummaging
through the garbage bin trying to look
for bottles and cans and detector packs
because for them this is money it’s
valuable to them so it may be waste for
you but it’s actually a source of income
for the others so why not all of us just
embrace this simple practice of just
separating your waste then you actually
contribute to a better waste management
system in Malaysia in fact in Malaysia
we actually have this solid waste
management and public cleansing
Management Act what we call x67 – is
actually enacted in 2007 and in here in
2015 it was officially implemented in
seven states in Malaysia so in this item
it’s mandatory for all the states that
actually practiced separation at sauce
if not you will be fined and compound so
it’s gonna library why only seven states
is doing it but for those things who are
not actually adopting this Act for
example slide
and Penang they actually have their own
policy and regulations to encourage
justices in the public to actually a
practice separation at source so I just
would like you to understand the
importance of separating your ways
it’s just a very simple act for you
actually contribute to a much bigger a
goal so I would like to share this just
these three main messages with you today
I call it the 3s number one stop the
terrine very simple just keep your waste
with you if you couldn’t find a rubbish
bin and once you find one then throw
your waste in it number two separate
your waste just separate recyclables
from non-recyclables
very easy to do and number three spread
the message tell this to all your
friends or not you today tell them that
they can also do a part to make Malaysia
cleaner and the environment in Malaysia
better so talking about spread the
message I actually got this a moment of
self realisation that I wanted to do
what I’m doing today but just to share
this messages and knowledge to everybody
that I encountered in 2013 I actually
participated in this program called
Bayon young environmental and boy and in
this program I was lucky to be chosen as
one of the finalists for Malaysia where
a group of 11 of us we have to conduct a
project in the period of three months so
my project what I did is that I went to
a kindergarten in Kuala Lumpur and for
three months I conduct environmental
classes with them so I teach them about
the food chain about energy conservation
about waste management and the picture
that you see on the screen is the end of
the three months where I conduct an
environmental day in the kindergarten I
did a little treasure hunt with the kids
they have to go around the kindergarten
and look for recyclable materials bring
it to me and then they have to throw it
into the correct fields so when I see
these kids
like 4 to 6 years old jumping with joy
and they could properly and correctly
identify the recyclable materials and
then know the value behind it that
brings me the biggest satisfaction enjoy
what I’m doing so therefore I’m very
thankful for this opportunity to share
this with all of you and I hope that
this might not of me make a huge
difference in what you’re doing but at
least I hope that you’re aware that you
can also do a part to improve the waste
management condition in our country so
therefore I would like to end with a
quote by Miss Annie Lennon from the
story of stuff this is a project where
he did a analysis of study about
products from its manufacturing stage up
to its disposal stage what is the
environmental impacts that will it will
it will come on so then she said that
there’s no such thing as a way when we
throw anything away it must go somewhere
so waste if it doesn’t mean that when
it’s out of your sight it’s not a
problem anymore it’s just that the
problem occurs in another form in
another place so therefore I hope that
you will think before you throw and
thank you very much
