I am passionate when it comes to the study of crocodile; fondly dubbed as the King of Reptiles. We work closely with various organisations including Sarang Buaya, Majlis Perbandaran Pasir Gudang (MPPG) and Department of Wildlife and National Parks (PERHILITAN) in our saltwater and Malayan Gharial project. Currently, we have had three publications on crocodile reproduction. If you are interested in them, please refer to the following link:
