Extension of student lounge opening hours‏

Dear ALL,

The following post is about the extended opening hours of the Student Lounge until 2 am on certain days. Read the post for more information. Thank you.

Dear Students of IMU,

The SRC and SSD are glad to inform you that with effective 3rd November 2011 the Student Lounge Opening Hours will be extended to 2am. This is only applicable to Thursday’s, Friday’s, Saturday’s and Sunday’s. As for the remaining days, the Student Lounge will close at 12am.

This arrangement is only for a trial period of ONE MONTH from Thursday, the 3rd of November until Sunday, the 4th of December. We still have to cross a few obstacles before this arrangement is made permanent. If we are able to follow the criteria during this trial period, then the Student Lounge will be permanently open until 2am on the four days as stated above.

The criteria are as listed below:

1) The Student Lounge will only be open until 2am on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
2) There must not be any damage to the equipment in the Student Lounge.
3) Only IMU STUDENTS are allowed to enter the Student Lounge especially on weekends.
4) Students should walk safely while walking back to Vista or their cars after 12.00 am onwards until 2 am and should not be harmed in any way while walking back during the trial period.

If any of these criteria are not adhered to during the trial period, this TEMPORARY arrangement will not be allowed to be made permanent and students will not be able to enjoy the benefits of extended Student Lounge opening hours.

So, students of IMU, the SRC has once again listened to your concerns and have acted upon them. Also I would like to stress on the importance on student safety once you guys leave the Student Lounge from 12am onwards, since it’s the main concern of the SRC and the SSD while agreeing to make this change and allow the trial period. Please try
to travel in packs or groups when leaving and STAY SAFE.

Thank you and have a great time everyone!

Cheers,
Simran

A message from Ms Wong!

Dear ALL,

First of all, I on behalf of IMU would to express my deepest regret and apology for posting up of the CGPA of all yr classmates. I'm truly sorry about this. I have informed Ms Jade to remove this part from the hospital name list.

For the hospital attachment, I just want to inform u all that we treat this placement as an important/urgent matter. On our side, we have done the planning, paper work, negotiation since months ago. We shared concerns but the confirmation is not within our control. We required students to be a bit patient and please cooperate with us, and trust that we will do necessary to ensure that placement is fulfilled.

Students also need to understand that with present limitations/constraints, we are not likely to offer the placement sites as students' wishes. We want to make this placement arrangement as smooth as possible within these limitations, so we are happy to consider reasonable suggestions/ideas from students if is within our/university capacity to implement. I understand everyone's situation but Mr Rohit, AAD and I have try our very best to come out with the name list and allocate students normally and preferably to yr hometown. For now, u all need to place learning beyond everything else.

We have actually noted all the possible issues/concerns as it were raised before since your seniors cohort. I believe all your seniors have made necessary accommodation arrangements accordingly. So, my suggestion is for you and peers to find out from seniors how they have done it. We are happy to offer support within our capacity. As for the financial concerns - I guess students need to make necessary arrangement with family. This issue, I’m sorry that I really cannot help.

I treat this attachment as part of students learning (personal development) and a chance for u all to explore other region in Malaysia. Mutually swapping with a valid reason except financial concerns, I generally allowed but not changing to another hospital without swapping, because the number is fixed. So for the letter, remember to pass up to Ms Jade, AAD before this coming Friday noon (12pm) and also pass u and yr friend’s details to Jun Yan/Siao Hui as well. And I urge u everyone to settle the accommodation whenever u can before 5 December (before it’s too late) so that we can proceed with the attachment smoothly. If you have any queries, pls don’t hesitate to ask me.

Thank you.

Regards,

Ms Wong
