A few announcements for you to take note of :

SRC Treasurer/Acting Treasurer
As both our Treasurer and Acting Treasurer are currently on leave, there will be no issuing of cheque/ claiming until Nirmal (Secretary) is back on the 4th of August 2009. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Sailing Trip
The Ministry of Higher Education is organizing the “IPTS Sailing Adventure2009 ” which is opened to student participants from all private universities. Participants of this adventure will be taken for a sailing journey with the Royal Malaysian Navy vessel MV Fajar Samudera from 6th to 9th of October 2009.

The whole trip will be sponsored by the Ministry. Please contact Miss Aznah from SSD for more information no later than 10th of August 2009. Places are based on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Focus Group
from Ashvini, Social Concerns Representative

Dr Mei Ling wants to hear from you! Yes, all of you. Basically, what she wants is a Focus Group, of students representing each faculty (about 2 per faculty) to group together and have a discussion with me.

And our topic will be. . .

What do you think can be done to instill more university pride in you as an IMU student?

That will be the general gist of it. However I will be asking you guys a few more questions regarding what you think we could work on to improve our university's standing in Malaysia for Dr Mei Ling wants IMU to be the number 1 preferred choice of private medical universities in Malaysia.

So guys, this is your chance to be heard. A chance to fix all those broken cracks you've been dying to get to but haven't had the chance. Consider it a survey of sorts.

To those who are interested, drop me a message @ 0123926052 OR an email @ imusrc@gmail.com with Focus Group as the heading

Thank you.

Warmest regards,
Pei Jin
