PETALING JAYA: A wetlands park can be managed successfully if priority is given to know-how and conservation, rather than profit, said a leading botany professor. 

“The Paya Indah Wetlands Sanctuary is an example of something good gone wrong. It was the greatest thing that happened when it was opened. There was great potential,” said Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Science and Technology Faculty dean Prof Datuk Dr Abdul Latiff Mohamad yesterday.
