KUALA LUMPUR: A Malaysian engineer says having strong English communication skills can take you places - even into outer space. Florence Tan (pic), after all, is now working at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa). She said Malaysians tend not to worry if their child scores lower in English compared to other subjects, especially Mathematics and Science. Tan was here for the International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS 2022), held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, this week. The symposium, hosted by IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society and Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR), is supported by the Malaysian Space Agency, Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry and Malaysia Convention and Exhibition Bureau.
