NSS personalities

Sutari Supari

Unstoppable Sutari Readers will be effused with the energies of this talented indefatigable nature artist. By Betty L Khoo.

NSS's Brave Heart President, Prof Khoo Hong Woo The man who leads the Society in these challenging times is much like the man at the head of a team of fire fighters. Yap Kian Wee talks to the NSS President and finds that his heart is in the right place to lead the fight for Nature.

Dr P N Avadhani: Like An Old Huggable Tree Huggable like an old tree is how Betty L Khoo profiles and describes the man who is an NSS stalwart. And like a sturdy tree, the good professor has nurtured both many an NSS member and their interests. A youthful 65 year-old, he feels that he still has much to contribute in the areas of nature education and research.

Enthusiasm More Important than U Degree Many NSS members are familiar with S. Rajamanikam, the society's best-known trip leader. Betty L Khoo profiles the intrepid nature lover, who became the society's Chairman in 1983. He later decided to devote his energies to leading nature trips in Singapore and all over the world.

Lim Kim Keang: Bird or Butterfly Man? Discover some surprising tit-bits on this dynamic head of the NSS Bird Group. Betty L Khoo profiles this council member of Bird Life Asia Council and tells us what makes this 47-year-old engineer and nature lover tick, and how during his kampung childhood, he began to love and understand Nature.
