12 February 2024: At the end of last month, Siew Lyn co-moderated a hackathon on site-specific sustainable solutions by Australian students. From wetland management in Putrajaya to ecotourism in Kuala Selangor and sustainable paddy in Sekinchan, the students did great presentations on their learnings and critiques.

The students hailed from the University of Tasmania, and 2 of the groups were offered the opportunity to write commentaries on their experiences for Macaranga’s Remarks section.

The Selangor leg and hackathon were hosted by Lestari, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, and concluded the students’ final leg of their Global Sustainability and Local Responses study tour of Malaysia.
