Enthusiastic Wong shared with Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng about sun bears and his conservation effort in saving them.
“In 1994, I went to University of Montana to seek a dream that was considered a ‘difficult task’ for many people from ordinary Asian families. The dream, which put me on the right track of my career, was to pursue a bachelor degree in Wildlife biology,” recalled Penangite Wong.
