Flying By

With exactly half of 2017 gone (what!), we look back at some of our favorite stories of the year so far - a small, humble Rohingyan football club based out of KL, formed in 2014, Rohingya FC consider themselves as the Rohingyan national team with aspirations to someday play in the World Cup. And then, a retired zoologist who has a species of frog named after him - Kalophrynus limbooliati - in tribute to retired Malaysian zoologist, Dr. Lim Boo Liat who’s also the winner of the Merdeka award in 2013. He joins us to share the inspiring story of his life and career, and his thoughts on the field of zoology and its potential as a career path in Malaysia.
