I’m very glad to be home after 2 days in Singapore, attending the German-Singaporean Research Symposium on Catalysis. It was a very fruitful event for me. Among the highlights were during our visit to Institute of Chemical Engineering Science (ICES) in the high security area at Jurong Island. I’m very impressed with their dedication in research as well as their state of the art equipments and facilities.
After a hald day visit to ICES, we went to visit Nanyang Technological University (NTU). We visited few departments and the first was Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics department. NTU too have advanced equipment and facilities. Their labs are very impressive and I can see that Singapore government really don’t mind investing billions of dollars to improved their research, engineering and sciences ability.

Last Sunday, I brought my kids to Nanyang Aquaculture, Air Bemban (North of Kulai, Johor). I just brought them to see various species of beautiful fishes. If you or your family members fancy Arowana (Kelisa), Koi and other land water fish, this is the place to visit and hang around.

The entrance of Nanyang Aquaculture Sdn. Bhd.

This Malaysian Golden Arowana cost RM5,000.00

My kids really enjoy coming here

Apart from thousands of fish, turtles are also sold here.

Ikhwan, my son begged for a bright metallic blue fighting fish. We bought the fish and its food. However, the fish died yesterday

Another angle of the display area

This is the exterior section of the aquaculture (open air) where the Japanese Koi are breeded. These batches of Japanese Koi cost RM1,500.00 per fish.

Another shot of the RM5,000 Malaysian Golden Arowana. It is bloody difficult to take a shot of this fish because it constantly move…
