taklimat pengarah labuanFRIDAY, 5 SEPTEMBER – Director of Labuan International Campus Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMSKAL), Assoc. Prof. Dr. Murnizam Halik said students involvement in negative elements will not bring any benefits, in fact it would only tarnish the image of the university, their families and themselves.

“If you get yourself involved in negative elements, it will stain the good name of UMS, your family and your local community,” he said at the Director’s Message Event and the Introduction to Senior Officers at UMSKAL in conjunction with the Orientation Week or Minggu Suai Mesra (MSM) recently.

As such, he advised the new students to focus their attention onto their studies and improve their academic performance from time to time.

“Adhering to rules and regulations of the university is a must not only by the university’s management but also your parents and their hopes for you to have that scroll in your hand as a way to thank them for all their sacrifices,” he added.

The event was to welcome all 856 new students who registered at the branch campus for the 2014/2015 academic session. – SS (fl)
