Berita Harian : Machine Design

The paper covered our story on how we developed the Pineapple Leaf Fiber Machine (PALF M1) which was awarded with Gold at Pecipta. PALF M1 was designed to extract pineapple leaf fiber which will be used for textile, medical and other fibers-related purposes. The project has garnered close to half million (RM) in grants and sponsors. The major collaborator for the project is Malaysian Pineapple Industry Board (MPIB).
