Management tip of the day_01

Visiting with the indigenous village of Pos Lanai, through Malaysia’s amazing rainforest today. Generosity-with-ingenuity is transforming these villages into model hubs for #ecotourism. We - @myundp @MOFmalaysia @MyMOTAC, NGOs and Orang Asli community members - launched the Pos Lanai Eco-Tourism Hub today, as a learning and resources space for initiatives to grow sustainable tourism, rural entrepreneurship, and renewable energy that will further unlock economic potential while preserving Malaysia’s rich biodiversity, cuisines and cultural traditions.

Today is International Volunteer Day. This is what I want to say on behalf of @UNVolunteers

Kar Marn and Furqan remind us of what determination and 'feeling included' truly means. This #IDPwD & #IVD2024, we celebrate their work as #UNVolunteers in #Malaysia, proving that so much is achievable when we open our minds and hearts to learn and work together.
