UiTM Perlis, UniMAP Takes Initiative to Teach Malay Language in Thailand PHUKET 31 Jan. - Because of their wish to see the Malay language to be further developed and regain its status as a regional lingua franca, two public universities in Perlis has taken the initiative to teach the language at two schools in the provinces of Phuket and Phang Nga. The two districts are among 15 Andaman provinces located in the southern region of the country and no longer uses the Malay language in their speech. The travel distance of 500 kilometres separating them was not an obstacle for both universities, namely Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Perlis and Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), to fulfil their wish. Subsequently, UiTM Perlis adopted Muslim Wittaya School here as a foster school while UniMAP adopted Fahad Wittaya School in Phang Nga. UiTM Perlis Campus Deputy Rector (Student Affairs) Zailuddin Ariffin said for starters five lecturers from the university's Academy of Language Studies were sent to Muslim Wittaya School to teach 30 language teachers in five days on 27 December last year. “We used informal teaching methods and it was surprising that teachers here were able to learn the Malay language even without any basic knowledge of it. “Among the methods employed were visual dictionaries, Sahibba game, poster and Malay songs,” he said after the Malay language learning programme inauguration which was officiated by the Raja Muda Perlis, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail at the Wittaya Muslim School yesterday. Also attending the programme, which had the cooperation of the Perlis Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIPs), was Raja Puan Muda Perlis, Tuanku Hajah Lailatul Shahreen Akashah Khalil. Attendees were entertained by primary and secondary schoolchildren who sang Rasa Sayang Eh and Kalau Rasa Gembira during the programme. Zailuddin further explained that the school management cooperated closely with them and scheduled two hours of Malay language learning sessions a week by four teachers. He said that this was a positive development and they will plan further to continue the programme by inviting the teachers and schoolchildren to Perlis to learn the Malay language. “We feel elated because the Muslim residents here are interested in learning the Malay language and this will help forge closer ties among Muslims,” he said. Meanwhile, Prof. Dr. Harshita Aini Haroon, the Director of UniMAP Centre for International Languages said that her department also employs a similar concept when a few lecturers were sent to Fahad Wittaya School to teach the school teachers the Malay language recently. “This was the first time our lecturers taught Malay as a second language because a large number of the populace cannot converse with it,” she said. - Utusan Malaysia

UniMAP Advances Alongside KPT, Committed to Achieve Seven KPI Arau, 1 January – Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) began a new year with willpower and determination to advance alongside the seven Key Performance Index (KPI) of the Ministry of Higher Education (KPT) as outlined by its Minister Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh. UniMAP Vice Chancellor Brig. Jen. Datuk Prof. Emeritus Dr. Kamarudin Hussin said in his New Year's Mandate that 2016 will present enormous challenges not to mention the seven percent reduction in operational budget allocation. He said that the challenges face this year would be immense whereby UniMAP would need to generate approximately RM80 million to support operational expenditure without increasing students' tuition fees. On that basis, Dr. Kamarudin urged the UniMAP community to change and improve along with him in the aspects of attitude, mental, work habits and work practices to ensure UniMAP would be able to continue to operate and educate the nation. “As a response to the requirement for a positive change, UniMAP is committed to achieve the KPI through outlined initiatives to ensure UniMAP's culture of competitiveness will be able to continue. “We have to remember that KPI has to be reported to the Prime Minister where set targets require us to perform extensive changes to perform these new initiatives which are fresh, efficient and collectively effective,” he remarked. He said this when delivering the 2016 New Year's Mandate to the UniMAP top management, administrators and lecturers at Dewan Kecemerlangan here today. According to Dr. Kamarudin, since income generation is the primary focus of UniMAP, Datuk Prof. Dr. Salleh Din has been appointed as Assistant Vice Chancellor (Corporate Sustainability) whose responsibility would be to carry out activities to generate income generation activities through the offering of comprehensive short courses by all UniMAP Schools.

He remarked that in the past this matter would be placed under the jurisdiction of the Centre for Industrial and Government Agencies Collaboration (CIGC), but this year each school should have a representative or an action committee for planning, monitoring and following up. He clarified that UniMAP's internationalisation aspect would be spotlighted with the targeting of a total of 950 international students consisting of both Bachelor's and Master's Degree students. “Research publication will also be UniMAP's focus therefore we will ensure all Centres of Excellence (COE) will be driven to produce more research publications of high quality of knowledge and meticulously plan research conferences to be benefited by Scopus and other bodies. “We will also strive to discover new sources of grants locally and internationally to fund research activities and form win-win affiliations and collaborations with international universities, research institutes and researchers.

UniMAP Cipta Peranti Kesan Nyamuk Aedes Kuala Lumpur, 30 Jan (Bernama) - Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UNIMAP) kini dalam proses membangunkan gajet atau peranti untuk mengesan kehadiran nyamuk aedes betina yang bertujuan mengurangkan masalah wabak denggi. Pengarah Institut Kejuruteraan Nano Elektronik (Unimap), Profesor Dr Uda Hashim, berkata peranti itu boleh mengesan kehadiran nyamuk aedes betina berasaskan gelombang akustik yang dihasilkan menerusi bunyi sayap nyamuk. Bidang ini adalah gabungan penggunaan teknologi nano dalam kejuruteraan elektronik. Peranti akustik yang dihasilkan kelak adalah mudah alih, praktikal dan mampu dimiliki oleh orang ramai. Peranti akustik berkenaan peka kepada bunyi sayap nyamuk aedes betina dan akan digabungkan dengan sistem kawalan tanpa wayar yang akan menghantar maklumat ke pusat pengumpulan data utama sama ada di dalam rumah itu sendiri atau di pusat-pusat kawalan nyamuk atau vektor yang berdekatan. Kedua-dua teknologi itu akan dibangunkan serentak. Kaedah ini dapat membantu Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM) yang tentunya tidak mampu untuk pergi dari sebuah rumah ke sebuah rumah dalam proses pemantauannya. Sehingga kini memang terdapat banyak pendekatan yang digunakan bagi mengawal populasi nyamuk aedes, termasuk kawalan secara biologikal, fizikal, kimia, pengurangan sumber pembiakan nyamuk dan pengurusan vektor yang bersepadu. "KKM memang telah melaksanakan pelbagai cara untuk mengawal wabak ini. Oleh kerana belum ada lagi vaksin yang boleh memulihkan pesakit denggi, cara terbaik adalah dengan mengawal tempat pembiakannya. "Ia adalah yang pertama seumpamanya di dunia dan kita mengharapkan peranti akustik yang dibangunkan ini dapat membantu mengurangkan masalah denggi yang semakin meningkat," kata Prof Uda. Sehingga Januari ini kes denggi seperti yang dilaporkan dalam laman web iDenggi masih terus meningkat dan mencapai lebih 2,600 kes dengan lapan kematian di seluruh negara. Tahun lepas sahaja angka kematian akibat kes denggi di seluruh negara meningkat 224 peratus. Mangsa yang terkorban akibat denggi direkodkan 199 orang berbanding 88 kematian pada 2013.

TINGKATKAN LANGKAH PENCEGAHAN Nyamuk aedes boleh membiak dalam takungan air jernih dan memerlukan hanya satu minggu untuk menjadi nyamuk dewasa. Menurut kenyataan akhbar oleh Ketua Pengarah Kesihatan Malaysia, Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah, peningkatan kes dan kematian akibat denggi ketika ini perlu diberi perhatian serius oleh semua pihak. Langkah-langkah pencegahan denggi perlu dipertingkatkan dengan penglibatan aktif dan kerjasama semua agensi, jabatan dan masyarakat setempat. Pihaknya menyarankan agar aspek kebersihan persekitaran diberi fokus utama iaitu dengan memastikan tiada tempat-tempat yang berpotensi untuk pembiakan aedes. SIAR PEMANTAUAN MINGGUAN Denggi hari ini bukan lagi sejenis wabak tetapi boleh dijangkiti oleh sesiapa sahaja tanpa mengira peringkat usia dan kes jangkitan denggi berlaku sepanjang tahun. Memandangkan bertambahnya penyakit ini di kawasan bandar mahupun kawasan separa bandar, satu langkah telah diambil oleh Cawangan Penyakit Bawaan Vektor KKM dengan mengenal pasti tempat pembiakan nyamuk Aedes. Ia dilaksanakan mengikut kawasan utama sebagai langkah mencegah dan mengawal di samping mengadakan pelbagai aktiviti dan tindakan perancangan melalui media massa dan elektronik. Kempen atau seruan yang sering diulang ialah dengan meluangkan masa 10 minit seperti yang dianjurkan oleh KKM untuk membersihkan kawasan persekitaran rumah. Antara tempat yang perlu diberi perhatian ialah longkang, saluran hujan, kolah, dan pasu bunga. Bahan-bahan terbuang seperti tin, botol, tayar kereta dan tempurung kelapa elok ditanam. Bagi barang yang boleh menakung air dan masih berguna, pastikan diletakkan dalam keadaan terbalik. KKM turut menyiarkan pemantauan mingguannya yang dipaparkan dalam laman web iDenggi. Maklumat terkini berkenaan wabak berkenaan sentiasa dikemas kini dari semasa ke semasa.- BERNAMA

Menurut Ketua Operasi Pasca Banjir Perak yang juga merupakan Timbalan Dekan Pusat Pembangunan Insan dan Teknokomunikasi (iKOM) Dr. Hanum Hassan, kebanyakan sukarelawan yang terlibat adalah pelajar tahun satu yang baru selesai menduduki peperiksaan akhir semester satu bagi sesi pengajian 2014/2015. “Tidak ketinggalan, operasi ini turut disertai pelajar tahun dua, tiga dan empat yang membersihkan Masjid Pulau Juar, Dewan Serbaguna Kampung Pulau Tiga Kiri, Gelanggang Futsal 1Malaysia, Gelanggang Sepak Takraw Pulau Tiga Kiri dan Loji Lembaga Air Perak,” katanya. Mereka juga turut melakukan aktiviti pembersihan di Litar Datuk Sagor dan Pejabat Penghulu Alang Talib Mukim Pasir Salak. “Komitment 100 peratus diterima daripada mahasiswa dan pihak berkaitan yang mempercepatkan proses pembersihan kawasan banjir ini. Walaupun kerja pembersihan di Pejabat Penghulu Alang Talib Mukim Pasir Salak menemui kesukaran berikutan air yang bertakung perlu dikeringkan secara manual, namun kerja pembersihannya dapat juga dilaksanakan dengan cepat berikutan kerjasama jitu yang diterima daripada semua pihak,” katanya. Program InoS1M yang pada asalnya adalah merupakan program baktisiswa dan anak angkat yang mewajibkan penyertaan pelajar tahun satu telah diubah pengisiannya kepada misi Operasi Pasca Bencana Banjir bagi membantu proses pembersihan kawasan banjir di empat negeri yang terlibat dalam bencana tersebut. Manakala operasi Pasca Banjir ini pula adalah kesinambungan kepada misi sukarelawan yang telah digerakkan dalam empat fasa terdahulu yang bermula 1 Januari dengan berfokuskan negeri Kelantan mengikut pembahagian kawasan angkat yang telah ditetapkan oleh Kementerian Pendidikan Malaysia (KPM). Naib Canselor UniMAP, Brig. Jen.

Saya amat memuji semangat yang ditunjukkan oleh kedua-dua badan beruniform ini. Sementara itu pada hari kedua misi bantuan diteruskan ke SK Sokor, Tanah Merah dimana semua sukarelawan sekali lagi terpaksa menempuh perjalanan mencabar dengan menaiki lori dan kenderaan pacuan empat roda berikutan keadaan jalan yang rosak teruk akibat bencana banjir baru-baru ini. Di SK Sokor kita mengalami kesukaran kerana sumber bekalan air yang terhad dan tiada bekalan elektrik. Segala kerja-kerja pembersihan dijalankan secara manual oleh para sukarelawan,”katanya. Menurut beliau, para sukarelawan membersihkan sekitar kawasan sekolah selain membantu mengenalpasti peralatan yang rosak untuk dibuang serta menyusun semula dengan peralatan yang baru. Saya amat berpuas hati dengan komitmen yang ditunjukkan oleh sukarelawan PALAPES dan SUKSIS ini. Saya melihat kita mencapai sasaran untuk memberikan bantuan kepada masyarakat yang terlibat banjir. “Pihak sekolah juga amat menghargai bantuan ini kerana bilangan sukarelawan yang datang di dua-dua kawasan ini agak kurang. Saya berharap segala bantuan yang dihulurkan ini dapat meringankan sedikit bebanan yang ditanggung seterusnya memberikan semangat baru untuk mereka menjalani sesi persekolahan. Semoga melalui misi ini, ia juga mampu mendidik para pelajar kita untuk memiliki semangat kesukarelawan dan sentiasa bersedia memberikan khidmat terbaik kepada masyarakat,”katanya.

Datuk Prof. Dr. Kamarudin Hussin said that InoS1M programme, originally a service-learning and fostering programme that was a requirement for freshmen, had been converted into Post-Flood Disaster Operation in an effort to help clean flooded areas in those four states. “It is also an extension of the volunteer relief mission that had been deployed earlier in four phases beginning 1 January focusing on Kelantan following the adopted zone that had been set by the Ministry of Education Malaysia (KPM). “However this time because of the increased number of students, the volunteer relief mission has been expanded to other flood-stricken states without abandoning our original adopted zone in Kelantan. “Even prouder to me is that besides freshmen, this time UniMAP received applications from students from second, third and fourth years who desired to join our mission,” he said. He said this after the InoS1M flagging off ceremony which was officiated by the Raja Muda of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail and the Raja Puan Muda of Perlis, Tuanku Hajah Lailatul Shahreen Akashah Khalil. Also present was the UniMAP Deputy Vice Chancellor Academic and International Dato’ Prof. Dr. Zul Azhar Zahid Jamal and the UniMAP Dean of the Student Affairs and Alumni Department Prof Madya Razli Ahmad. This phase involves 1,440 participants with 400 students deployed to Kelantan, 203 student to Pahang, 179 students to Terengganu, 422 to Perak, with 80 international students, 100 PALAPES cadet officers and Police Undergraduate Voluntary Corps (SUKSIS), 31 representative from the Student Council (MPP) and 25 Green Earth volunteers. Earlier, the first phase of the East Coast Post-Flood Disaster Operation involved 107 diploma students from the Reserve Officer Training Unit (PALAPES) uniformed body ran for 6 days from 1 January before being replaced by the second phase that consisted of UniMAP staff members which ended 9 January. The third phase consisted of UniMAP alumni and Residential College Council members which ended 11 January and was continued with the deployment of the fourth phase, also cosisting of staff members, which ended 15 January 2015. According to Dr. Kamarudin, besides building a relationship network between the state government and students, the InoS1M programme also indirectly gives UniMAP students an opportunity to return and volunteeer their services to their respective home states. “This indirectly encourages students to be play a role as socialisation agents in the development of local, state and National communities, and simultaneously reinforcing the spirit of volunteerism among UniMAP students,” he said. Participant Nur Fariidah Zakaria, 19, from the School of Human Development & Technocommunication (IKOM) was pleased to be part of the volunteers deployed to Kelantan. “Since the occurrence of the disaster and mobilisation of volunteers from a multitude of groups, I had wished to be a part of them but I needed to focus on my final examinations which began 29 December. “Alhamdulliah, now I have the opportunity to lend aid to flood victims in Kelantan with my comrades,” said the UniMAP PALAPES cadet officer. For Shehabbadin Ghelal Hail, a senior year student from Yemen, the involvement of international students in this mission has been part of their social responsibility to help flood victims in Malaysia. The UniMAP MPP Exco viewed the programme as also being able to indirectly open students' eyes and mind to the woes of flood victims. “We have been residing here to seek knowledge in Malaysia and now it's time to serve and aid the people of this country who have been recently hit by a flood catastrophe,” he said.
