In August 2017, coincided with the summer in the northern hemisphere, I have been involved in coordinating some student volunteers from University of Malaya to participate in the Asian Students' Environmental Platform, a program fully sponsored by AEON Environmental Foundation where students have been exposed with various environmental activities such as learning the sustainable recovery of the Tohoku region from natural disaster, sustainability of the oyster industry, tree planting and forest school as the symbolic of restoration after the tsunami due to The Great East Japan Earthquake 2011. This program is also joined by renowned Asian universities; Waseda University (Japan), Tsinghua University (China), Korea University, Vietnam National University, Royal University of Phnom Penh, Indonesia University and Chulalongkorn University (Thailand).
