A Talk You Won't Want To Miss

1)
























Dear all,

There will be a dialogue session with YABhg Tun Mahathir Mohammad on 7 July 2009, 9:30 a.m. The theme is "Leadership in Medicine & contribution to Nation Building".

We need an estimated 130 students from all the courses in IMU Bukit Jalil to attend the session as this is a very beneficial talk. However, if the response is overwhelming, more seat will be opened to more students. Those who are attending the talk will either be exempted from the class (if they have) or the class itself will be canceled.

We also need 5 questions from students to be forwarded during Q & A sessions and please kindly identify 5 students that will voice out the question. Please prepare the question ASAP and
email it to medt109@gmail.com

So overall we need at least 15 or more people from each batch.

Warmest regards,
Zia Shah

Dear all,

Please approach SRC if you are interested in giving tuition to a form 6 student in physics and chemistry. The student stays in Happy Garden and prefers home tuition.

Secondly, please adhere to the new guideline regarding H1N1 influenza.

INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL UNIVERSITY

H1N1 INFLUENZA

GUIDELINES FOR STUDENTS AND STAFF

In view of the increasing number of H1N1 influenza cases in the country and the occurrence of local transmission, all students and staff are strongly urged to adhere the following guidelines:

  1. Hand hygiene is the single most important measure in preventing infection so
    • Clean your hands regularly and frequently.
    • Wash your hands with soap and water, and dry them thoroughly.
    • Use alcohol-based handrub if you don’t have immediate access to soap and water.
    • IMU will be providing alcohol handrub dispensers at designated locations like laboratories and the skills centre but all students and staff are strongly advised to carry on your person a small bottle of the alcohol hand rub. This is readily available at most pharmacies.


  1. If you have symptoms of influenza like fever, cough, sore throat and body aches do not come to the university.

    • Go and see a doctor immediately.
    • Follow all local public health recommendations.
    • Keep your distance from well individuals as much as possible (at least 1 metre or 3 feet).
    • Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, with tissues or other suitable materials, to contain respiratory secretions. Dispose of the material immediately after use or wash it.
    • Clean hands immediately after contact with respiratory secretions.
    • Improve airflow in your living space by opening windows as much as possible.

WE REQUIRE EVERYONE’S COOPERATION TO PREVENT H1N1 IN IMU.

Just Around The Corner

Hi everyone!

As I write this entry, there is less than a week till our summative
and mostly every1 is in 6th gear and going full force on preparations
for the upcoming examinations. Well, I came across a rather interesting
quote and decided to write it in a post.

"Keep steadily before you the fact that all true success
depends at last upon yourself.
"

- Theodore T. Hunger


So yes, with that said - for those stressed out; worry not, as i am sure the hard
work invested will be repaid in dividends. ;-)
I'd like to just wish every1 the very best in exams!

"Jia You!"

one. For those that are interested please come see either Chelsea or myself.
For those that don't want to, it's fine too. :-)

2. Workshop Groupings
Most are probably wondering what the workshop slots in our
schedules are for next week. Well, the list for groupings have been
sent to me, please refer to the list that will be posted up outside
of Audi (starting on 15.6.2009).

P.S.
***
Some may have noticed the chatter box has been removed. The
reason for this was because it was being abused and it no longer
served its purpose. Thus, it was removed. For future comments,
please just comment directly on the post itself. Thanks. :-)

P.S.S.
Hope the countdown serves as a small motivator for us all.
