The hours of UiTM's Semester Break are numbered.
By Monday Feb. 2 nd, 2009, the serene scenario at Lendu and City Campus would be revitalised.
For the past one week, the lecture rooms were dead silent because the diploma and degree students were away for a week break. Come Monday, the good and aspiring students would be in the lecture halls, labs and studios, while the non-aspiring ones would inculcate their old habits of being tardy in their attendances because Old Habits Die Hard.
Some people may consider 7 days is too short to dive into their souls in order to quest for their weaknesses, while to some they utilise this short break to repair their long lost dreams and aspirations by embarking on some new plans and strategies to pursue their academic excellence. 7 days night be a short stint, but to people who are time conscious, 7 days, trasformed to minutes would be 7x24x60= 10080. See how have we spent the time given by God? Have we made the time beneficially or productively? To Usain Bolt, 100 M Gold Medalist in the Beijing Olympics, of Trinidad, he covered a distance 0f 100 M within 9.65 seconds and what have we covered in 7 days (10080 x 60 = 604800 seconds)? Some may have refurbished their mental and physical strangths, while some may have made some financal gains by working part time, while, unfortunately, some may have only increased thier sleeping time.
As some say Out of Sight, Out of Mind, I did miss the names of my DAD IC, BBIB 3A, BBIN 3A, Bas $A students. Luckily I could still visualise some characters such as Faliq and Suzilla (DAD), Antarasul (BAS), Badrul (BBIN), to name a few, and I hope to meet and welcome my students by Monday.
Hopefully my dear students would be back to campus in high spirits in order to acquire a piece of paper called diploma or degree. In fact, students are comically labelled as paper chasers in the academic terminology. We would be chasing for Wealth, Power and Prestige throughout our lifes.So dear students, make the right steps to be successful by having proper Purpose, Focus, plan and Strategies. In addition, we must enslave ourselves to Allah swt in whatever we are involved in.
Welcome Back to Campus.

The Clock Stops Here
Monday December 1, 2008
Oh No It's Monday is the famous quotation among the lazy career person of the corporate world.
Monday is the noble day among us because it was the great day when our beloved Prophet Mohammad was born. Whereas Monday is the first day of the Gregorian Calendar, and it is the 3rd day of the Hijrah Calendar.
The campus scenario is totally quiet because more than two thousand should are staying away to be with their loved ones. These souls are now enjoying their semester holidays from now till January 2009. Hopefully these intelligent beings will utilise their free times to relax, gain some working experience; read novels; help doing house chores; or do whatever will be beneficial to themselves, families, society and the world.
Happy Holidays to my students: Ben Yusoff, (Batu Pahat), Mohd Muzroffe, Lidiawati, Azizah, Nur Hadi, (Benut), Nor Jamilah, Aina and the many whom I could not recollect from my memory.

Qualification Agency
Tuesday December 18, 2007
The former National Acreditation Board (LAN), will be upgraded to a new name, Malaysian Qualificaton Agency (MQA) as of January 2008.
MAQ will be more organised in scurring the realm of Academic Acreditation to all the Private Instituitions of Higher Learning in Malaysia. The officers will have to work thoroughly hard to analyse, evaluae and decide on the accreditaions of few thousand of cerificates, diplomas, degrees and post degree courses which had been accredited some time ago. Besides assessing the educational programmes run by the PIHL, MQA will also venture into the accredited programmes run by he Public Institutions of Higher Learning.
This would be a great task for a small organisation like LAN to perform this gargantuan task, hence it is agressively looking for fresh and matured graduates of various disciplines in order to cope with the ensuing tasks.
The objective of restructuring LAN is to safeguard the integrity of the paper qualifications churned out by public and private colleges and universities in Malaysia. Thousands of graduates produced by our universities are now applying their knowledge in the Middle East, Eastern Europe, the Far East and Southeast Asia.
Malaysia, to a certain success, has already achieved the status of Educational Hub of the East. Therefore it is the reponsibility of the government, through MAQ, to upgrade the syllabus and curriculum of Malyasian colleges and universities to meet the challenges and demands of the current global issues to attract the local and foreign youth to get the best from a highly acclaimed colleges and universitiesin Malaysia.
As one of the Eavaluation Panelist, I am fully confident that the future products of these instituitions would be able to perform extremely well in whatever profession they are in. In a smaller note, let our universities, be it private or public, play an important contribution for the betterment of mankind.
Good Luck MQA!
