“I’ll give a resounding ‘Yes’ that we need more palaeontologists in Malaysia. There are very few here. Within Malaysia, there are perhaps at most eight experts in vertebrate palaeontology,” says Lim Tze Tshen, president of the Palaeontological Society of Malaysia, tells Sunday Star.
“Students and young researchers in this field should also be given proper and tangible support for their projects,” he proposes. “We would also be able to maintain a strong and competent team of researchers that can compete and collaborate at an international level,” he says. Universiti Teknologi Petronas Geosciences Department chair Dr Khairul Arifin Mohd Noh says palaeontology can show us the history of Earth and it is vital to learn this as it could help predict how environments behave in the future.
“Malaysia is a lucky country, blessed with rich and diverse fauna both in the present and likely in the past.
