Proactive Fulfillment of Objectives

Since its establishment in 1976, the Malaysian Plant Protection Society (MAPPS) has been extremely active in fulfilling its core objectives by engaging in a wide array of professional and educational activities.

Our Great Mission

To promote and advance knowledge on all aspect of plant protection in Malaysia.
To organise and arrange lectures, meetings, symposia, seminars, workshops for promotion of and exchange of views among members on plant protection at regional and international levels.
To publish and communicate scientific knowledge on plant protection and related subjects in whatever form it deems necessary. Since its formation, MAPPS has been extremely active in fulfilling these objectives.

The emblem of MAPPS consist parts such as below:

Central Figure: A pair of hands in a clasping position, signifying protection. Placed between the hands are economic crop plants, specifically a grain cereal and a dicotyledon.
Boundary: The entire figure is bound by a circle containing the name of the Society in both Bahasa Malaysia and English.
Color Scheme: The figures and words are rendered in black and white, giving the emblem an exclusive look.

Membership and Professional Base

MAPPS boasts a large and diverse professional manpower base.

Growth

Membership has risen from 50 in 1976 to over 500 in 2001 (25% of the total membership are life members).

Geographical Reach

Members are drawn from overseas, including Singapore, Philippines, Thailand, Australia, Japan, Canada, United Kingdom, and the United States of America.

Sector Distribution

The majority of members belong to private agrochemical companies, followed closely by government research organizations, academic institutions, and the plantation industry.

Recognition and Future Initiatives

As a professional society, MAPPS is well-positioned to participate in the development and implementation of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programmes in Malaysia.
The Society’s involvement in the drafting of the national IPM Policy—by virtue of its membership in the Steering Committee—testifies to its recognition by relevant authorities as an important organization contributing to plant protection.
In line with the vision to become the premier society that promotes and advances the science and practice of plant protection in the tropics, MAPPS, through its Education Trust Fund (MAPPS-ETF), will soon be officially launching two new schemes to further enhance its cause.

The Malaysian Plant Protection Society (MAPPS) is dedicated to advancing the science, technology, and policy of plant protection. We serve as a critical platform for research exchange and professional development in Malaysia and the tropics.
