FRIDAY, 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.

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