This news article was originally on the Yahoo Malaysia site. After some editing, i present the article below. I really like the first line that says "internationally-recognised researchers should be promoted, including through the mass media". So what have i been doing all this while?

Granted, the point is good and clear. I suggest younger academics should learn a bit about the media and how to promote their work using media releases and the likes. Anywho, read the article below from our national news agency, with kudos to the people at UniMAP (which i happen to work with last year).

From Bernama News - Sunday, February 22
 
KANGAR, Feb 22 (Bernama) -- Internationally-recognised researchers should be promoted, including through the mass media, Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) vice-chancellor Prof Datuk Dr Kamarudin Hussin said.
 
He said that UniMAP had also achieved numerous successes in its research efforts but there were still rooms for improvement in promoting them.
 
Speaking at the UniMAP-Media Perlis 2009 event here last night, he expressed the hope that the existing ties between the university and the media would continue to be strengthened.
