The students can get first-hand responses on issues related to studying at these partner universities.

Therefore,we would appreciate if you could kindly inform all the medical and dental students regarding this special session. We attach herewith the notice of the session from Prof Victor Lim for your further action.

Thanks and regards,
Aziah

SRC Nomination 2010

***

Hi guys, this is Naomi Grace from ND109. currently i am running a campaign for the Public Relation Liaison post from Student Representative Council. winning the campaign is not the greatest thing; the greatest thing is to be able to represent the community to voice out their opinion.

Are you satisfied with the food from the canteen? do u think that there's enough places in the cafeteria to accommodate all the students? having any difficulties in printing your notes? bring the matter to me and i will try to solve it for you.. stop fretting, hugz.. i am there for you people.. no matter sunny or rainy, no matter morning or nighttime.. my ears will always be there to listen, my msn will always appear online..

"we ARE who we ARE" .. why should IMU segregate the different batches during games and matches? putting aside the different courses that we are taking, we are basically the same human being. humans who love singing, love drawing, love clubbing (i love it too myself XD) .. so why ME108 versus BP109 in a badminton
match? we should form our own team and compete against other universities.. try 2 imagine a futsal team consisting of N&D, BP, ME, P, BM, PC, PS, NU ... competing against other universities.. and we won... Unity? ABSOLUTELY!! we are one family, we are IMUians.. "I AM YOU"

why care about what people say about us?? we are "we" !! a pharmacist need not be serious, he can be a dancer while being a pharmacist. just break all the traditions and bring out our true self !! Roarrrr...

not satistied with the services SRC is contributing? we would love to hear from you. please voice out your views, we would be appreciate every word that you contribute.

please voice out your opinion concerning these unsatisfactory matter, and i will try my best to solve it for you.

there's still so much that i would want to type here. but i think it will make the mail very draggy. however i can assure you that what i can do for you all is not just the merely few thing which i had stated above. there's still so much more to do. let's hold hands together and form a better, and brighter future XD


the power is in your hands now. vote me to see a difference. i promise you that i will serve IMU and you all with a humble and truthful heart. hope to converse with you all soon.


Yours sincerely,
Grace

Chili Earthquake Fund-raiser
***

Dear all,

In our term in SRC we have had a few fund-raising events to help out devestated areas and IMUs adopted Orang Asli Village (Kg. Angkat). The following is how much we raised in total for them.

1. Indonesian earthquake (batch to batch collection) - RM 700
2. Kg. Angkat (Halloween Night) - RM 2650 (of which RM 2500 will be used to install a manual water pump)
   
3. Hope for Haiti (with P110 and Hope for Haiti ad hoc committee) - RM 11,218

Our last fund-raising event will be for the Chile Earthquake (which will be batch to batch collection).

We would like to thank all students for being so magnanimous. You have really demonstrated just how wonderful and caring IMU students are.

Warmest regards,
Zia Shah

IMU Gym
***

To all students of IMU,

The IMU Gym is one of the most highly trafficked areas in IMU. However, it does lack some things. The treadmills have a few problems, there are not enough weights, and too few dumbells, and the equipment malfunctions on occasion. The IMU Health & Fitness Club has been working since day one trying to make it better, and have achieved a small measure of success (evidenced by lockers in the gym, and replacing some wires in the circuit machine).

Amongst other requests, we are lobbying for a computer, a radio (or speakers at least), a security camera, air purifiers, additional weights, consistent maintenance and above all, new equipment. And so on, and so forth...

HOWEVER,

It has become extremely difficult as of late to convince the management in IMU to part with the funds necessary to get all this. This is mainly because of the belief that the gym is not used very often. Because of this, from the 12th of March Onwards there will be a sign-in sheet attached to to door of the gym, or the board next to it.

It is not compulsary to write in one's name and student ID. But in doing so, you will give us proof that the gym IS being used, which will give us the numbers we need to perhaps convince management to speed up in giving the the gym, and the students what facilities we deserve.

So if you happen to use the gym, please write your name and ID as a show of support. Proof of usage could be all we need to convince IMU that the gym needs upgrading/fixing/maintenance, and needs it now.

On a side note, we are also looking for potential candidates for the new committee. Interested individuals please SMS your name, course and student number to 012-3040-397, or email imugym@gmail.com. We will update everyone when application forms will be available.

Thank you all,

Arthur Leow

Misc.
***

1. Communication Skills Training

Since Communication Skills training has been taken over by CSU and is no longer under the Behavioural Science department, all Communication Skills sessions are compulsory, especially those during Rotations (Semester 3&4). With immediate effect, attendance will affect students EOS paper eligibility. (So please, do skip those classes to study for exams.)

2. Pathology Lab
Dr Sri Kumar has kindly requested that students attend all designated Pathology Lab sessions as Lecturers feel that the time and effort put into teaching at Lab sessions are wasted as very few students attend.

3. Alumni Talk (USMLE)

Justin from M207 will be coming to IMU Bukit Jalil to give a short talk about taking the USMLE exams after Semester 4 lectures (about 6pm). For those interested, the talk will be held at the discussion rooms at Level 2 (near AAD).

That's all for now!

Warmest regards,

Jodie
