IMU Halloween Night ( a fund raising event)

Dear all,

In 2007 IMU adopted Kampung Orang Asli Serendah as one of it's homes for it's Community and Social Responsibility Programme.

One of the challenges faced by the Orang Asli there is unclean water. Without proper water supply, the residents are vulnerable to many water-borne illnesses. The idea of raising funds is to be able to provide them with a manual water pump. Each pump (+ installation of the pump) costs about RM 2500, and we hope to raise enough money for at least one (or more) pump(s). This will enable the residents to have a supply of properly sanitized water and reduce the number of residents with water-borne illnesses.

And so in order to raise funds for the water pump(s), SRC Bukit Jalil will be hosting a Halloween Night celebration and you're invited!

Tickets can be purchased from any of the Vice-Presidents and are for only RM 12!

If you are planning to bring people outside of IMU you will need to provide us with their:

• Name
• IC/Passport Number
• Handphone number

For any other enquiries please e-mail imusrc@gmail.com.

We hope to see you there! :)

Warmest regards,
Zia Shah

PTPTN Loan

Dear all batch reps,

Please help to inform your batch mates that the PTPTN officers will be coming on 15 October 2009 to collect the loan documents from students whose loan applications have been approved in August 2009. Details are as attached.

For students whose loan applications have just been approved in October 2009, they can submit their documents on that day if they can have the documents ready. Otherwise, the PTPTN officers will come again to collect the documents. We will make another announcement once the date is confirmed.

*** To those who applied for the loan in Sem 1 but didnt get it, please speak to Ms. May Kuan from SSD***

Canteen Satisfactory Survey

Here is a survey that we would like the students to fill in so we can work on improving the canteen for students.

There are only 11 questions because we don't want to waste students time on it or have them quit doing it halfway. At the same time we want to get as much feedback as possible.

Here is the link to the survey: Please click here

This survey will take less than 5 minutes. All answers will be anonymous.

If there is not enough response to these surveys we will send out the survey in paper form. We really need the feedback from the students to make the canteen more student-friendly. The more statistics we have the easier it is to show the caterers what the students want.

Reminder - Student Satisfaction Survey 2009‏

Dear all,

Recently, IMU had conducted a Student Satisfaction Survey (SSS) to all IMU students. This exercise is very important as it identifies the concerns raised by the students and the actions that each department has to take in order for them to improve their services.

The survey was carried out on-line in accordance to batches in the E-Lab. However, the response rate from the students is really low.

Thus, we would appreciate if you could inform your batch mates who have not done the survey to do the survey at http://its.imu.edu.my/imusurvey/

Thank you and your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Chiew Yeong

Microwave and First Aid Kit for students‏

Dear All,

I am pleased to inform you that the First Aid Kit in the Student Lounge has been filled up for a while already by the SRC.

What the inside of the First Aid Box looks like when it's filled up.

However, if we find that the items inside the box are once again stolen we will unfortunately have to stop placing anything inside the box and it shall remain forever empty.

So please be considerate of other and use the box to treat real injuries and emergencies.

Also we are happy to announce that we have bought a microwave for the students to use to reheat their food.


Please be considerate

* and treat the microwave gently. Do not bang the door or punch the open button.
* to our muslim friends and do not reheat non-halal food in the microwave.
* and do not heat inappropriate items in the microwave, it is only meant for heating up food.

Also, this is a reminder to all students that eating inside the student lounge is prohibited.

If you want to eat, please eat in the eating area inside the SRC office or on the tables of the first, second and fourth floor if it's outside food. If it's food from the canteen please eat it in the canteen, not the student lounge.

This is to prevent any rat infestation and unsightly stains (which have been increasing recently) in the student lounge.

Funds for Padang Earthquake and Manila Flood‏

Dear All,

I'm sure that you are already aware of the recent disasters in Manila and Padang. Mercy Malaysia has sent a team to each location for initial assessment, and they anticipate that there is a great need for both locations to be assisted, especially with more bad weather forecasted.

In view of the recent disasters, we would be grateful if you could highlight the urgency of funds to be raised for their response to Manila and Padang.

At the moment, all donations are still channeled to MERCY Malaysia, or MERCY Humanitarian Fund. I have attached a donation form for those who are interested in making a donation.

Their donor management officer, Ms.Suhaila, will be able to assist you further, and she is contactable at suhaila@mercy.org.my or 603-2273 3999.

The SRC would like help from batchreps to collect funds as a batch by passing around a box or alternatively students can come directly to SRC to donate. All funds collected by SRC will be given under one donation form from the students of IMU.

Warmest regards,
Zia Shah
President SRC BJ 09/10
