Updates on current issues

Dear all,

The issues which are mainly concerned were about the :

1. Student Smart Card (ID)

Students of January 07/08 intake and the June 08/09 intake are still using their temporary ID card as they are yet to receive their Smart Card (Student ID). Clarifying this matter with the assistant director, Mr. Shukri Bin Saib, he said that the an order of 5000 pieces of empty smartcard has been placed last year to Multimedia Product Innovation Unit (MPU), previously known as CMEAD and they were supposed to receive it by August this year as said by the Senior Director of MPU, Mr. David. Due to unknown reasons (Mr. Shukri will clarify the actual reason) there has been a delay. As a time-being replacement, Temporary Smart Cards (1M chip memory) which is similar to the actual Student Smart Card (4M chip memory) will be distributed. Mr. Shukri added that the temporary Smart Cards should be ready by this week or by end of this month (the actual date will be announced later).

2. Security Personnel

Students have lodged complaints on the securities that are being rude while on duty. International students face communication problems with the securities which eventually lead to an argument. When asked about their attitude problem, Mr. Shukri said the this matter has been discussed with the Director of Security, Mejar (R) Victor Joe Joseph and the campus director, Prof. Omar. They have conducted briefings with the security personnel regarding their attitude. Hopefully, these incidents will not repeat in future.

3. Students Attacked

Following up the incident of the international student attacked in Taman Bukit Beruang, a meeting was held between OCPD and the security division of MMU requesting for more police patrols in Bukit Beruang housing area. Moreover, securities of MMU are doing patrols in areas which are close to MMU (e.g.: Taman Dahlia) using the Emergency Response Unit van.

FIST Computer labs

Dear all,

After paying a sum for IT fees we the SRC have requested that all computers in all labs be equipped with programs such as JAVA, Flash players and Adobe Reader. Besides that, we also requested that all computers be connected to the internet and if there are any computers which aren’t, we requested that each Faculty Administration alert their technicians to fix the problem immediately. All computer labs are available for use of students throughout working hours (Lunch time: 1pm – 1.30pm). During Ramadan the labs are closed at 4.30pm.

Covered Pathway from Library to Block B

Good day to all,

The Operations Director as well as the Library Director has both agreed with SRC that the covered pathway be constructed. The Operations Director has put in the word to Prof Omar (Campus Director) to request budget on the construction for the year 2008/2009. However it is yet to be known if the Campus director will agree to it as well as the time that the construction will begin. (Work still in progress by Student Welfare Division)

Lab facilities in FET

Dear students,

Whereby the complaint from final year students about the lab facilities in FET which SRC had looked thru mainly about lack of equipment in FET labs, most machineries are not working and due to this matter, students are forced to go to other to universities to use their machineries. So it has been raised to Dr.Peter(Dean of FET) to take further action. It was found that this machinery is segregated into simple damage and major damage. It would take a whole 2 months to repair equipments which has faced a major damage where as it would take 2 weeks maximum to fix minor damages. Parts for major damage are shipped in from Japan. We will be getting a list of these non-working equipment and submit it to the FET administration.

Supplementary Examination

A very good day to all,

There is no such decision to impose a sum of 30% onto students who wish to take the supplementary examination. MMU plans to discourage students from taking the supplementary examination as well as decrease the number of students who take advantage of the supplementary examination and they have yet to find a solution that is effective. Among the suggestions to halt students from taking advantage is by imposing a fee on the supplementary exam or making the supplementary examination harder. At this time no decision has been made and it is still in the process of discussion. However, Dr. Wong (vice president for academic Multimedia University) feels that it is unfair to impose a fee on supplementary examinations. The toughness of the supplementary examination is decided by the lecturers as it isn’t a policy and it depends on the lecturer himself/herself. The main idea of this issue is to discourage and minimize the number of students from taking advantage or choosing supplementary examinations as an alternative.

Relply Comments

Assalamualaikum and hi everyone, my apology coz I just know all of these comments since my new house currently don't have internet connection yet.However,i will answer all the misunderstanding and fuss here.


Firstly about the “annons” statement...Hemm, what we have here? An English teacher or maybe can call him walking dictionary. My fellow friend, I don’t know your judgment based on what but I don’t think my English is very weak. I have a certain standard of English even though not as “great” as you. I just want to advise you that plz don’t cross the border…my patience have the limit. About the petition to condemn me and want to see En. Zam regarding that matter… just give it a try bro. I’m looking forward too.


However, I open to my friend here to come see me personally this Monday, 8th Sept 2008...10pm till 12pm at the SRC room. I don’t think you only know to talk craps here but don’t dare to face me. I will welcome you then. Maybe we can settle our disputes there.


About the SRC blog...I can’t see the relationship between creating new blog with showing our power. Where are the connections???But I just want to make some correction here...We can’t log previous SRC’s blog coz of previous SRC, Nicholas to be precise is using his own personal email and password.However to encounter this problem (SRC keep changing blog) for the future, we are now developing SRC website that using “mmu.edu.my” domain. This website under development. So plz be patient.


Next, regarding requesting additional computers etc.Haish, you all has to confirm with STAD first before you raise up this matter. We never request it!!For your information, SRC only have 1 computer and the others in the SRC’s room are belongs to respective SRC’s laptops and computers.


Regarding appointed candidate problems…plz refer to (GENERAL ELECTION) PROCEDURE 1997 in section qualification of candidates of SRC and also you have to refer to the announcement of qualification of appointed SRC which you can find in previous bulletin board. Sassi fulfill all the criteria and there is no problems arise regarding not respect the STAD. For your information he not involve in Industrial training throughout 3 sems here and he will be available all the sems.


About the student’s welfare (lift problems, library fees etc), we already aware that problems and already rise up this matters to the En. Zam. On top of that, this coming Thursday, 11th Sept 2008, we will have a meeting with respective head of divisions in MMU mainly to solve all of these problems. We will do our best to serve you all.


Reminder: We, SRC do not paid of what we are doing, so you all must have some manners in dealing with us. Plz do not breach the freedom of giving comments here. This service mends to the students who really have problems and not to the people who always want to bombarding people. Plz do not bombard any of SRC members here and also you are not allowed to use harsh words. If there are any unsatisfied with the SRC members or even with me…You all can construct me personally, I’m welcoming you all. Be professional and don’t act like childish.
