Start a national movement connecting M’sia and the Antarctic

I READ with great interest the letter titled “What happens in Antarctica matters to our tropical nation” (The Star, May 19; online at bit.ly/42LFFo7) by Prof Dr Goh Hong Ching of Universiti Malaya and Malay-sia’s National Antarctic Research Centre, and Muha-mmad Fardy Md Ibrahim of the Sultan Mizan Antarctic Research Foundation.

They rightly highlight that Malaysia, though only a non‑consultative party to the Antarctic Treaty System, has a stake in Antarctica’s future – and that Malaysians must move from awareness of this matter to action.
