Forensic Entomology is the use of the insects, and their arthropod relatives that inhabit decomposing remains to aid legal investigations. Today forensic entomology, which is one of the most wellestablished areas of forensic biology, is regularly used to estimate postmortem interval and locate decomposition sites It is timely that the MSPTM and IMR takes the lead to train more personnel in this important field. Such training not only will impart new advances on participants, but will also help to standardize the practices of FE, rendering it a respectful discipline of biomedical science and also setting the bench mark of good practices. Organizing Committee The objectives of this workshop are : To train and transfer the latest knowledge of FE to participants To standardize practices of FE, and To share and exchange experiences The workshop will cover the following topics: Advisor : Dr Lokman Hakim Sulaiman Technical Consultant : Dr Lee Han Lim Chairperson : Dr Nazni Wasi Ahmad Secretary : Mr Heo Chong Chin Treasurer : Ms Rozilawati Harun : Mr Azahari Abd Hadi Technical : Mr Mohd Noor Ibrahim : Mr Abdullah Abd Ghani : Mr Chen Chee Dhang Secretariat : Ms Sadiyah Ibrahim : Ms Tan Swee Beng : Ms Heah Sock Kiang : Ms Yeong Yze Shiuan : Ms Norazlina A.
