ASIANALYSIS X

i have attended a conference for the last 3 days; 11 -13 August 2009.
it have been held at Putra World Trade Center (PWTC), Kuala Lumpur.
its started from 9am to 5pm for the 3 days.
we are selected students from UiTM went there by bus. we were supported by UiTM for everything including the fees and transport. the fees for one students costs about RM400.
the most important part is this conference are open to postgraduate students and above. we are just undergraduate and UiTM still give us chance to take part in this big event.
this conference combine 3 programmes together which is 10th Asian Conference on Analytical Sciences, 22nd Malaysian Symposium on Analytical Sciences and 4th Biennial Regional Symposium on Total Laboratory Management and also incorporating with Mini Symposium on Halal Products Analysis and Innovation.
this international event is organized by Institut Kimia Malaysia, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Department of Chemistry Malaysia and Persatuan Sains Analisis Malaysia in collaboration with Universiti Malaya, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Department of Occupational Safety and Health, Institute for Medical Research, Department of Standards Malaysia and Malaysian Tourism Promotion Board.
the opening ceremony of this event was officiated by YB Datuk Dr Maximus Johnity Ongkili; the honourable Minister of Sciences, Technology and Innovation on 11 August 2009 at Dewan Tun Hussien Onn, PWTC. after the opening ceremony, the launching of LabAsia 2009 is done at Tun Razak Hall 4. then, we had a tour around the LabAsia exhibition.
at the exhibition, there a lot of company displaying and promoting their laboratory products such as chemical, analysis machine and also protective equipment. i took the chance to buy the protective goggle; KleenGuard V10 for only RM7.50 from company named Global Science.
in this conference, there are various areas of sciences were presented. they are Bioanalytical Chemistry, Electroanalytical Chemistry, Thermal Analysis, Atomic and Molecular Spectroscopy, Mass Spectrometry, Separation Science, Sampling and Sensor Technology, Miniaturization Technology, Environmental Analysis, Food and Drug Analysis, Materials Analysis
from above areas, i interested more on food and oil analysis, catalysis and industrial applications, natural products analysis, and organic and polymer analysis. the main reason is there are several topic presented on palm oil based product and innovation. this is because my final year project are about palm oil based product.
even though the topic presented are too high for undergraduate students like us to understand the whole part, there still some parts where we can understands and add up our knowledge on that particular topic.
besides additional knowledge, another one important part is the experience that we gained from all the speakers on their self confidence in presenting their work and answering all the question from the audience. this part make me really impressive especially when i saw one Malay man presenting his work in Bilik Melaka at the second day. Zaidi Ab.Ghani is one of the speakers from Malaysia presenting his work on catalysis and industrial application. he is postgraduate student from UiTM Arau,Perlis. he is doing researches on Mukah Balingian coal. even though i dont really know about this topic, but i gained his spirit and also his self confidence. he sat besides me before the presentation and i did not see him panic and i just saw he is so cool and relax.
the official language of this conference is English. so, all the speakers have to give their speech in English. i found very difficult to understand their speech due to their English assent. this part makes me proud of Malaysia because if compared to all the country involved in this conference such as Australia, India, Korea, China, Pakistan, Taiwan, Thailand, Mongolia and Bangladesh, Malaysia has the best English assent.
i also gained some knowledge from the poster session on how to prepared the poster and what are the points should be include in the poster. here i'm proud withUiTM because there a lot of participation from UiTM and there 2 poster get award; one of them get the main prizes. the award had been by the 3 most important person in organizing this conference; Datuk Dr Soon Ting Kueh; Chairman ASIANALYSIS X, Assoc Prof Dr Haji Zaini Bin Haji Hamzah, Co-chair ASIANALYSIS, and Professor Dr Musa Ahmad, Co-chair ASIANALYSIS.
