IMPORTANT - Library Hours Extended on weekdays (One month TRIAL)‏

Dear students of IMU,

As per your requests, the SRC and the Library dept. are glad to inform you that with effective from 1st August 2011 the IMU Library Collaborative Study Area (CSA) will be open till 12:00 a.m. on weekdays.

However, we still have to cross a few bumps before we can make it permanent. Yes, everyone, it’s still temporary and on a TRIAL period till the 25th of august 2011. If we are able to follow the criteria given to us by the Library dept. till the end of the trial period, then of course the library CSA will continue to be open till 12:00 a.m.

The criteria are as listed below:

1) All books are to be returned by 10 pm

2) No borrowing of books after 10 pm

3) No books or MMS models should be misplaced or damaged during the trial period

4) A minimum of 20 students on average should be present in the CSA.

5) Last but not least, the most important issue:

Students should walk safely while walking back to Vista or their cars after 12am and should not get mugged on the way during the trial period.

If any of these 5 Criteria are breached or not fulfilled (especially the last 3), then the whole thing is KAPUT!! In other words, library CSA will only be open till 10 p.m., we will never be given a chance to increase library operation hours in the future ever again.

Furthermore, the QSA and MMS section will be closed after 10 p.m. and only 2 part-time student librarians and a security guard will be overseeing the library till midnight after 10 p.m. The Reserve Collection Area will be out of bounds during the time 10 – 12 also.

So, students of IMU, the SRC has once again listened to your concerns and have acted upon them. This time, it is up to you to keep this newly granted opportunity and to not mess it up in anyway, if you would like the library CSA to be open till 12:00 a.m. on weekdays.

Also I would like to stress on the importance on student safety once they leave the library at midnight, since that is the main reason the library dept. is concerned about. Please try to travel in packs or groups. Guys I need not remind you, now’s the chance to jump in and walk those pretty ladies off to safety :P.

Anyways, thank you for your support extended to us in this matter and with your help I believe that in the near future we can make more exceptional changes to the library to benefit your needs. Your SRC president, Simran Singh will be visiting most of the batches to announce more details regarding this matter.

Thank you and have a great time everyone! Cheers~

A Talk about Discover Buddhism by Bro Mui Han

Dear all,

This is a talk catered to clear your misconception about buddhism. First and foremost, Buddhism is not a religion, it is a teaching. It doesn't tell you how to lead your life but merely guide you through this journey. The details of the event is shown in the poster.

Bro Mui Han is very good with Q & A. So do come and take a look. You are indeed welcome to attend.

Thank you and have a nice day~

Temporary study area next to IMU specialist centre‏

Dear students,

The previous council managed to get a temporary study area next to the IMU specialist centre as an alternative study area for students to study and revise. This temporary study area was initially only for 6 months (Sept 10-March 11).

However, the new council has managed to extend the use of this area indefinitely. Students can continue using this temporary area for now.

This area is actually for IMU Health Care expansion. Facilities and Management (FMA) department are awaiting management's decision on this area and begin with expansion of the specialist centre. In the mean time, students can use this area until further notice.

FMA has already added more tables and chairs in that area. Students are reminded not to remove any tables or chairs from this area.

Thank you.

Evaluation of Potential Operator 2‏

Dear students,

As mentioned in the earlier blog post, we will be having 2 potential operators setting up a kiosk in the university. One of the caterers Tuk Tuk provided food for 4 days last week and we have already gathered feedback from the students.

Unfortunately, the other potential operator Vista Saji have sent their apologies that they are unable to set-up their kiosk as arranged and have withdrawn their interest from being a potential canteen operator here in IMU.

However, another operator Rampai Katerer will be replacing them as they have expressed their interest in operating here in IMU. They will set up a kiosk in the cafeteria area starting from tomorrow, 19th of July until Friday, 22nd of July.

Once again, do try out the food provided by this operator as well and kindly give us your feedback on their food taste, portion and pricing.

Feedback can be emailed to imusrc@gmail.com. We really appreciate your feedback, so a decision can be made to obtain a new canteen operator.

The canteen committee will be having a meeting early next week to discuss the feedback provided about these 2 potential operators. Thank you.

Evaluation of Potential Food Operator‏!

Dear Students,

Beginning from today, we have arranged for 2 potential caterers to set-up a kiosk to present/sell their food at the LG floor (in front of the Student Lounge).

From tomorrow to 15 July, Tuk Tuk (Jakim Certified operator) will offer breakfast and lunch. Breakfast will commence at 7.30am and lunch from 10.30am onwards. Menu offered for tomorrow is Nasi lemak and fried noodles @ RM2 per pack and they are offering lunch sets with a drink @ RM5 per pack, ie

Set 1: White rice, veg, taufoo and either asam kampong fish OR Chicken Curry

Set 2: Pineapple fried rice, pandan chicken and mango salad

Once we have their menu for the following days, we will publicize it accordingly.

The 2^nd operator Vista Saji (Jakim Certified operator) will set-up their kiosk at the same location from 18th to 22 July. We are yet to receive their menu and pricing.

Please do try out the food provided by these potential canteen operators and give us have your feedback on their food taste, portion and pricing.

Feedback can be emailed to imusrc@gmail.com. We really appreciate your feedback, so a decision can be made to obtain a new canteen operator.

We are replacing the current canteen operator Oval Success within the next few weeks with either one of these two potential canteen operators. This is based on the feedback and complaints that has been received in recent weeks about their service. The other operator, Sri Emas (vegetarian food) will still remain.
