syukur pelajar miskinFRIDAY, 5 SEPTEMBER – The opportunity given by Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) to poor students in pursuing tertiary education here had given a ray of hope to them.

In conjunction with the on-going Orientation Week or Minggu Suai Mesra (MSM), the Media and Citra Division crew had the chance to meet with two of the said students.

For Syazana Farhana James, she was thrilled to receive the offer letter that was handed over to her by UMS officers at the end of August.

“At first I was very disappointed when I checked the entrance results through UPU where my name was not stated in any of the universities applied. However, this opportunity given by UMS has given me a ray of happiness and I vow to study hard to change my family’s fate,” said this orphan who now depended on her self-employed mother.

Another student met, Mohd. Fadzle Kadir said he did not expect to get the offer from UMS as his family was poor and never received any offers before.

According to this sixth child out of nine siblings, he was surprised and thankful when he received a phone call from UMS informing him of his offer to pursue Entrepreneurship Programme from the Faculty of Business, Economy and Accountancy.

For the record, a total of 100 students who were poor were offered a place as undergraduates under the Entry Mode Mechanism for Bottom 40% Household Income recently. – SS (fl)

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)
