AMSERU extends its warmest congratulations to Ts. Dr. Ahmad Zahirani, an esteemed AMSERU member, for his exceptional leadership in organising<\/strong> the Seminar on Mineral Processing and Rare Earth Element Extraction 2025 (SMPREE2025)<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Held at the Bangi Avenue Convention Centre<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Nuklear Malaysia<\/strong>, this prestigious seminar was co-organised with\u00a0Nuklear Malaysia MTEG<\/strong>\u00a0and brought together an impressive lineup of experts, researchers, students, and industry stakeholders, all with the<\/span> go<\/strong>al\u00a0of advancing<\/strong> Malaysia\u2019s readiness and capability in the rare earth elements (REE) sector<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

🔍 Highlights of SMPREE2025:<\/strong>
✅ Captivating keynote and technical sessions featuring thought leaders like Dr. Meor Yusoff<\/strong>, Dr. Rahman Yaccup<\/strong>, and Ts. Dr. Ruslinda<\/strong> (Lynas)
✅ In-depth dialogues on Malaysia\u2019s REE roadmap and the urgent call for stronger national policy support<\/strong>
✅ A vibrant poster competition<\/strong>, spotlighting the work of talented young researchers
✅ Technical site visit to Nuklear Malaysia\u2019s advanced laboratories<\/strong> \u2013 including XRD, EDXRF, WDXRF, and FESEM facilities
✅ Collaborative spirit strengthened by the support of generous sponsors: DKSH, RGS, Bruker, and ILab<\/strong> 🙌<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seminar served as a timely reminder:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

🛑 Malaysia is in a race<\/strong> to build a competitive REE ecosystem. Without integrated policy, academic, and industrial synergy\u2014we risk falling behind.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

🌟 At AMSERU, we believe that gatherings like SMPREE2025 pave the way for strategic collaboration and actionable change. Let\u2019s keep the momentum going\u2014together<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

🔗 Dr. Ahmad Zahirani continues to be an inspiration through impactful initiatives that bridge science, policy, and national interest.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
