Talk by Menno Riegstra

MNS member and staunch supporter, Menno Riegstra is back in town for a short visit and would like to address the Selangor branch. After consultation with Ivan, the date is set for 12th February 1998 at the EEC PJ at 8.00 pm. Menno, formerly of Phillips Malaysia, is our representative in Europe and is really keen to meet up with members for a dialogue session.

He attended the MNS management meeting on 20 Dec.'97 and said that large amounts of European funds are available for environment and conservation work and that he is prepared to assist MNS to seek such funding. The quantum of funds should be large (preferably in millions) and some proposals may have to be channeled through government as we are doing now with DANCED. There are no assurances but he said that institutional development of MNS and branches is a possibility. We will be liaising with branches on this.
