Inter Faith Forum‏

The Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist and Catholic Society are having an inter-faith forum on Monday (29th March) at 11 am-1.30 pm at Lecture Theatre 3. Please do come to witness an open and neutral talk on the 'Purpose of Life' by each religion.


Come to learn something new or ask any burning questions you have on religion. It is not often different faiths get to come together to discuss one common topic. Whatever reason it is, this is an event not to be missed! I'm serious :)


The tragedy of life is not so much what men suffer, but rather what they miss. ~Thomas Carlyle

Withdrawal of Jumbo as Main Operator‏

Dear All,

We wish to advise that Jumbo (current main operator) at Pandan Serai Cafe has advised that they will not be renewing their contract which expires on 31 March 2010. Jumbo has indicated that they have been losing money since operation and that their losses were higher since the introduction of vegetarian food by Sri Emas. They had approached us for committed pax and for exclusivity, however, the request does not meet IMU's requirement. From the beginning it had been made known to all operators that:
There would be 1 main operator and maximum of 3 sub-operators
No restriction or exclusivity extended to operators to meet IMU's requirement ie student's limited break time, reduction of re-queuing for other items and Cafe Committee will control the pricing/portions
We are aware that recently Jumbo have been awarded a contract to supply food for a committed 300 pax daily with a company.

We have now secured an interested party (after approaching 3 potential operators) to take over as a main operator at Pandan Serai Cafe. Append below is a brief outline of the New Operator - Impian Rasa Foods for your information:

Impian Rasa Foods was registered on 13 November 2008 and it is managed by family members under the ownership of Puan Nor Azizah binti Mustaffa. Currently they have 3 restaurants under the name of :

- Restoran Mutiara Pedas
- Restoran Mutiara Pedas - Taman Industri
- Restoran Mutiara Iman.

Their main operation, a restaurant is based at Puchong.

They are currently operators of Kesas Canteen since 2008 and they are also supplying packed food to SP Setia Berhad on a daily basis. They are also one of IMU caterers.

Jumbo will cease operation at 3pm on Friday 26th, to clear and clean for handover on Saturday 27th to IMU.

Impian Rasa Foods (New Operator) will take over on Saturday 27th to prepare for operation on Monday 29th as main operator at Pandan Serai Cafe.

Wai Ling

MUET & IELTS workshops in IMU (2 April 2010 & 10-11 April 2010)

Dear Reps,
Just a gentle reminder as I am seeking your assistance to inform all the students for all programmes that the above 2 workshops would be run in IMU soon. Do inform the students and it would be a good idea for you to pass the names of those interested to Ms Danielle Ho at the Postgraduate Office [Office Ext 1302] on Level 1. as she is in charge of the registration.
Apparently, there are still a number of IMU students who are yet to fulfill their minimum English Language IELTS & MUET requirements. It is especially important for all PMS/PDT as well as the MPharm and the Health Science students who have opted for credit transfer to the universities in Australasia fulfill these requirements asap before the matching exercise carried out in early Sem 5.
Please find the attached flyers containing the necessary detailed information, although please note that the date for IELTS workshop is now 10-11 April 2010 and the MUET programme will now be in the afternoon from 1.30-5.30pm.
Thanks a lot for all your assistance.

The 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
