ceramah tunzakiFRIDAY, 14 MARCH – Chairman of the Board of Directors (LPU) Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS), Tun Zaki Tun Azmi urged all UMS community to practice integrity at all times.

He said that academic and administrative staff including UMS students should strive to reach a higher level of integrity in themselves.

“A university that does not practice integrity will not be respected in terms of its degree and publications, and its graduates will have a hard time finding employment.

“For UMS to be a respected university, it should practice good corporate governance, quality management, good planning and monitoring, ensuring accountability for all financial management, implementation of university’s policies according to regulations and to practice transparency in all matters,” he emphasised.

He said this in his inaugural talk ‘Warga Berintegriti, Universiti Berkualiti’ at the Dewan Resital, UMS.

The programmes which would be held during the month of integrity would be extended until the next year as a way to remind and cultivate the culture of integrity among UMS community over time.

More than 500 staff and students of UMS attended the inaugural lecture of Tun Zaki’s. Also present were the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Datuk Dr. Mohd. Harun Abdullah, UMS Registrar, Datuk Abdullah Hj. Mohd. Said and Principal Officers of the university. – MA (fl)

THURSDAY, 13 MARCH – The grief and anxiety that surrounds the families of the passengers and crew of flight MH370 which is still missing since last Saturday cannot be imagined.

Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) lends sympathy to the plight that befalls the 239 passengers and crew of the missing flight MH370 which is still a mystery when search and rescue teams have still not found any indication as to the whereabouts of the plane.

Hence, some UMS staff took the initiative to organise a cycling mission ‘Pray For MH370’ in support of the efforts in locating the missing aircraft conducted by the government with the help of other countries such as USA, China, Vietnam and Japan.

The ride around UMS campus for 8 kilometres was well received especially from students when they had their pit stops at some locations.

Bringing the message ‘Pray For MH370’, one of the participants, Azmi Haris said that the cycling programme was done on a voluntary basis as a sign of support by UMS to the families of the passengers and crew of MH370 to continue praying and hope for the best for those in the aircraft.

The cycling programme also received the support from the Centre for Co-curriculum and Student Development by providing the bikes and cycling helmets. – ZMD & SS (fl)
