This fourth semester has been slow in progress. If anything,  I only gave a powerpoint presentation at PWTC Geosmart Conference. The presentation was on Sabah Food Security Policies Review using RIAM. The participants questioned where is the geospatial.

Here is a note from my supervisor as a gentle reminder on 19 November and giving me much hope :-

Dear Doria,

Good morning, how are things over your side. 2015 is coming to an end and the month of Nov and Dec is busy as always.

I am just trying to look back at our achievement, forced to put it in writing as part of my yearly report to UMS. For this reason, kindly help me with a few lines to list your milestone and some achievement towards your PhD with evidence (in attachment)

Also sometime back we were talking about a Journal article useful to fulfil the Postgraduate Requirement towards your PhD. I am still positive that we can co-write a paper on the following topic to be publish in international journal. We can aim this to say about Feb/March 2016. For the remaining 2015, you may start the abstract of about 250 words and email to me so that i can provide feedback say before the end of Nov.

REVIEW ON THE CURRENT USE OF RIAM AND OPPORTUNITY FOR FUTURE RESEARCH APPLICATIONS

Your current collection of RIAM articles should be enough for this Journal article.

Thank you and looking forward

Best

Gaim
