Important! Regarding the Meeting rooms‏

Dear All,


Some students had the habit of leaving their books, bags and even laptops (which, please remember is not good as it is a bad idea to leave such valuables unattended) in the room to book it and depriving others from using them. Please remember that these rooms are used by other students and staff to have meetings, discussions and PBLs so please be considerate to others.

Unfortunately, if students continue to book rooms in such a way and prevent others from using them, administration is looking to only allow students the utilization of the room for personal studying after 5.30 PM as it is proving to be an inconvenience to everyone - other students and the staff.

We would rather this not to be implemented so please be considerate to your fellow students and the staff of IMU.From now on, if books or bags are left unattended and the room is in need these items will be removed.

Also please remember not to write notes on the frosted glass walls of the meeting rooms as they cannot be cleaned, and always remember to clean the white boards and the glass after using them.

An incident occurred in which some students had written some silly remarks to the people passing by. Mr Amir of Facilities and Management had to sternly advice those students. We would like to advise our fellow students to not do such things.

Warmest regards,
Zia Shah

4.Canteen Meeting Summary: Jumbo and Sri Emas‏

Dear all,

Here is the summary of the recent canteen committee meeting (Tuesday, 8th of December). We are often very demanding of the operators and are always open to them on the feedback we receive from students, and they are always receptive of what we have to tell them.

Having said that, they too have requests for students, which is really only reminders of things that have been said before.

Please do not use the cafeterias utensils when having outside food as it is an unfair cost to them.

There are areas allocated for students to eat outside food. Please do not consume outside food in the cafe as that area is managed by the cafe operators who are renting the premise (meaning that it is paid for by them).

Please help to clear up the tables when you finished your meal. Jumbo has placed collection bins/trolley for used crockery/cultery in strategic location around the cafe. This is to help improve the speed of the queue by lessening the manpower needed for cleaning.

Jumbo

• They are recalibrating the cashier box to make it more efficient and precise. They have also replaced the cashier due to complaints from students.
• They are going to sort out the pricing of the different bain marie's so that students are aware which one is the one that is priced at RM 3.80 for 2 vege + 1 meat, and the prices of the other one.
• To shorten queues they will implement a number system where students can immediately order and pay.
• Price list will be sent to SRC to put on display for all students on the SRC blog.
• If students want to request a special menu they can do so through SRC who will then pass it to Jumbo to see if it is feasible.
• Every 2 months they will change the chef to bring a different taste so that it will not always seem the same.
• They will work on staff attitude towards students.
• SRC will promote any specials they are having to students through the SRC blog and email.
• The cafe will now close at 6pm.
• Staff were reminded to wear masks, hair nets and gloves at all times.
• they now have a tea time selection which is
• Curry Puff - RM 0.50
• Spring Roll - RM 0.50
• Kuih (5 different flavors) -RM 0.60 each
• Sandwich (egg mayo/tuna) - RM 2
• Sausage roll - RM 1.50

Sri Emas

• It was suggested that they review pricing for the chicken rice and to introduce a cheaper alternative available. They have agreed to provide an option of plain rice to oil rice.
• Pure Chinese-styled vegetarian meals to be introduced starting January. (even the pots they'll be cooked in will be different).
• Will propose tea sets to the team for eg. goreng pisang with tea, Hot deserts

Some updates

1.Regarding Dress Code - Ties‏

Dear all,

I have enquired about removing the tie from the dress code due to complaints of lack of hygiene by the students.

A Few Updates & Important Announcements!!!

1.) IMU REEM & BP1/08 Sem 3 Online Course Evaluation‏

Please go to this URL http://its.imu.edu.my/imusurvey (where you can access from home or Elab) and do TWO surveys: IMU REEM & BP1/08 Sem 3 Online Course Evaluation‏ before next Friday, 20th November 2009. CtME would appreciate your participation of this exercise and your co-operation is highly appreciated for curriculum development.

2.) Semester 4 Fees Due dates

The due dates for sem 4 fees is 21 DEC 2009. The school is reopen on 4 JAN 2010. If there is any change in the dates, I'll inform u all about this. Regarding the fees' due date, I'll inform again after the Finance Management has informed me about this. As for Sem 4 timetable, as usual I'll inform to everyone once AAD has informed me, so don't worry about this.

3.) Eating and drinking in PBL rooms‏

The Student Services Department (SSD) suspect that some students are using the PBL rooms for their private activities and they eat and drink in them thus creating a mess. Students are not allowed to bring food or drinks into the PBL rooms and that any student caught doing so will be subject to disciplinary action.

4.) Security Issues‏

Recently Student Representative Council (SRC) have had issues with outsiders coming into IMU and using student facilities. For the security of the student body outsiders are not allowed to do so. Some have even troubled our students.

Security guards often complain that they are unable to tell the difference between outsiders and students because lots of students come into IMU out of dress code and without their IMU Student IDs. There is also the issue of students being unnecessarily rude and crass with the guards when they are informed that they are not in dress code.

Students must realize that it is for their own safety and well-being that they are to follow the dress code. On a side-note, it is also the expected attire of health professionals.

Therefore it is imperative that all students:

· Comply to the Dress Code from 6 AM to 6 PM (even if you are on study break).
· Wear their IDs visibly at all times, even after 6 PM.

If you see any suspicious people around at anytime please do email us at imusrc@gmail.com or call us at our extension line 6601.

5.) Dress Code in The Library‏

As there have been many incidents of theft and outsiders coming into IMU to use our facilities, the SRC and SSD would like for the library to ensure that the students who use the library abide by the dress code and wear their IMU ID tags at all times.

Therefore, starting from the 16th of November (Monday), the librarians will turn away all students who do not comply to the IMU dress code including neck-ties and the IMU ID tag. Students are requested to take note of this matter and to please abide by the new rule for the everyone's safety.

6.) Ice breaking ideas for Student Exploratory Workshop‏

SRC is having a Student Exploratory Workshop (SEW) on 10 -11 Dec 2009 and it starts at 8.30 am. This time around, the SEW would include all programmes offered by IMU and hands on practical training for the students. So far, we have about 23 students registered for the workshop.

Anyway, we are looking for ideas on the ice breaking session on the first day (10 Dec). The ice breaking session will take about 30 mins only. We are looking for 10 volunteers to come up with ideas for the session and to execute it.

Volunteers will get certificates for participation. Please let us know if you are interested in participating by Monday 23rd November 12 PM latest. It will be on first come first serve basis.

Thanks for yr attention!!! Happy holiday!!!~~~

donation

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

some announcements

1. INVITATION TO HIV/AIDS AWARENESS SESSION 2009 - PUBLIC‏

Leo Club of KL Perennial will be running the *HIV/AIDS Peer**‐**to**‐**Peer

Educators* program. We are working together with *Malaysian Aids Council*,
*Standard Chartered Bank *and* AIESEC *to deliver the HIV/AIDS education
talk. This *HIV: The Series* consists of the following five (05) modules
on HIV/AIDS.
Module 1 : What is HIV? What is AIDS?
Module 2 : Transmission and Prevention
Module 3 : The World and Us
Module 4 : Testing, Treatment, Positive Living and
Support
Module 5 : Sharing Session
As we all understand that HIV/AIDS does not discriminate on the basis of
race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, national, ethnic or social
origin. Middle age and youths are being the two (2) highest groups living
with HIV/AIDS, they need to be empowered to take control of their life and
protect themselves from being vulnerable.
We believe that empowerment comes from knowledge and this is precisely why
we are undertaking this challenge to be youth champions to create a
community of a well‐informed, energetic, and dynamic people. In such, our
main objectives for the program will work towards
1. Increasing the awareness about HIV/AIDS amongst public.
2. Reducing stigma of HIV/AIDS.
3. Providing a platform for public of diversified backgrounds to interact
and share common opinion.
In addition, the aspiration gives us another great pleasure to cordially
invite you and your friends to join us in the program.* **Kindly refer

e-lerning session

Dear All,
The Centre for Medical Education (CtME), with the assistance of the Learning Resources Dept, has scheduled a continuing series of lunchtime educational sessions in support of advancing e-learning and use of digital resources at IMU.
The topic for this Wednesday, 16th September 2009, 12.15 - 1.15pm is on RSS and is opened to all faculty and students. The venue will be E-Lab 1, Level 3, Bukit Jalil.

RSS Description

"In this learning session, we will explore RSS (Real Simple Syndication) and RSS Readers, and see how we can utilize them to facilitate our own learning more efficiently and effectively. RSS is basically a web page with a .xml file type that can be subscribed to and read by a RSS reader (aggregator). The RSS reader will find the new content and display it when it becomes available. In essence, by using RSS new content will come to you, instead of you having to visit the site, or search for it. It will save you an infinite amount of time."

As its on a first come basis, please register early to ensure a place in the learning session. If you miss a session, visit the E-Learning Innovation Centre in http://www.elearning.imu.edu.my to find the appropriate presentations and learning resources.
Please note that no food will be provided for this short session.

Thank you.
