Sumbangan beliau dalam membantu komuniti Kampung Klewang di Royal Belum, khususnya melalui usaha mitigasi konflik manusia dan hidupan liar menerusi pembinaan pagar siren, amat dihargai dan akan sentiasa dikenang.
Semoga Allah SWT mengampuni Allahyarhamah, mencucuri rahmat ke atas rohnya serta menempatkannya dalam kalangan orang-orang yang beriman. Al-Fatihah.
It is with profound sadness that we share the news of the sudden passing of our dear colleague and friend, Melissa Mathew Bilong. Melissa was an invaluable part of the WCS Malaysia family, having been with us for 16 years. She dedicated much of her working life fostering co-existence between Orang Asli communities and elephants in Endau Rompin, which is a key part of our conservation work. Her passing is a profound loss to the WCS Malaysia family and to Malaysia’s conservation community.
Beyond her incredible contributions to our team, Melissa can be described as a kind gentle soul, and is perhaps the most patient person you would ever meet. Melissa will be deeply missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing her and working alongside her. Our hearts, thoughts, and deepest condolences go out to Melissa’s family, loved ones, and friends during this incredibly difficult time. You will always be a part of our team, Melissa.
