Simposium "Towards A MosquitoSafeEnvironment" Simposium"TowardsA MosquitoSafeEnvironment" selamadua hari dianjurkan oleh Akademi Sains Malaysiadi Hotel Legend,Kuala Lumpur dari 29-30 Jun 1999.

Simposium ini mengumpulkan pakar-pakardalam bidang biologi dan kawalannyamuk untuk membentangkanpenemuandan pengalamanmerekakepadapemaju, perancarrgbandar,pengurushotel dan tempat peranginan,industrialis dan merekayang inginkan kawasan merekabebasdari nyamuk.

Simposiumini dihadiri oleh 150 pesertayang diakhir simposium belajarbagaimanauntuk mengenalpastijenis nyamuk, memahami risiko yang terdedah kepadamereka,dan berpengetahuan bagaimanaunruk melaksanakan langkah kawalan.

Kertas cadanganyang dipersetujui kemudiannya dilanjutkan kepada KementerianSains,Teknologidan Alam Sekitar (KSTAS) untuk tujuan perlalaanaandan selanjutnya dipersetujuisupayaAkademi Sains Malaysiayang pada ketika itu di dalamprosespenubuhanmengambilalih tugasperlaksanaancadangan tersebut.

Projekkemudiaannya ditangguhkan sehinggalahAkademi berfungsi sepenuhnya padabulanNovember1996.

Akademi kemudiaanya menubuhkan JawatankuasaPetugas untuk mengambil langkahJangkah yang perlu ke arah penubuhan NSTRC. Akademi kemudiannya diberikan sebidangtanah di Serdang, Selangoroleh Universiti Putra Malaysia(UPM). Majlis Akademi kemudiannya memutuskan supaya NSTRC didirikan diatastanah tersebutsebagaisumbangan Akademi kepadaNSTRC. Input dari Akademi di dalam peranqmgan konseppenubuhantermasuklah lawatan ke PusatSumber Sains, Kejuruteraan dan Teknolog (SET) yang serupadi Manila Jakartadan Bejing. Sepanjangprosesini JawatankuasaPetugasdan

National Scienceand Technology Resource Center (NSTRC) The proposalto establisha National Scienceand TechnologyResource Centre (NSTRC) startedin 1993 when the Confederationof Scientific and TechnologicalAssociationsin Malaysia(COSTAM) submitted a paperto Majlis Penyelidikandan KemajuanSainsNegara(MPKSN).

The approvedproposalwasthen referredto the Ministry of Science, Technologyand the Environment (MOSTE) for implementationand later it wasagreedthat the establishmentof the NSTRC would be the responsibiliryof the Academy of SciencesMalaysia(ASM) then in the processof formation. The project wason hold until the Academy becamefully operationalin November1996.

The Academythen formed a SteeringCommittee to take the appropriateaction towardsthe establishment of the NSTRC. Subsequentlythe Academywasgiven a pieceof land in Serdang,Selangor

by Universiti Putra Malaysia(UPM).

The Academyt Council decidedthat the NSTRC be setup on this land as the Academyt contribution to the NSTRC. Inputs from the Academy in the conceptualplanningincluded visits to similar National SET ResourceCentresin Manila, Jakarta and Beijing.Throughoutthe process, the SteeringCommittee of the Academyand the Professional Science,Engineeringand Technologyfu sociations(PSETAs)
