WELCOMING SPEECH BY PRESIDENT OF SRCUTP

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

First and foremost, thank God for giving us the chance to breathe and to live until this point of time. Praise Him too that with His blessing we are here today to fulfill our responsibilities and give back to our society, religion and country.

The semester break is approaching towards the end and the new semester will begin very soon. Here, I’m Muhammad Haniff Bin Humam; President of SRCUTP 09/10 on behalf of all SRCUTP members, would like to welcome back all students to our beloved campus with new spirit to open a new chapter of semester July 2010. I also take this opportunity to congratulate all students for the effort and hard work in striving for the best in the previous semester. Good job and congratulation on your achievement.

Being a student of Universiti Teknologi Petronas put us in such a lucky position. Only few were selected to have the chance to experience the great learning environment with experienced lecturers, diversity in student’s background, comfortable lecture rooms and laboratories and many more. Let us recall the excitement that we had on the very first day of registration in UTP. We all came with high hopes and ready to fight the uphill battle. Thus, I hope that the spirit will never fade and continue to motivate us along our studies.

Together with this welcoming address, I would also like to inform students on the restructuring of SRCUTP organization. The shuffle is meant to cater the shortage of members on the board which had left for Industrial Internship Program. They are our Secretary II; Ms. Jenani Jayavalan and three Excos; Mr. Mohammad Fakrurradhi Bin Hamthan, Ms. Devarani A/P Kumarasan and Ms. Siti Sara Lyana Binti Badly Sham.

Few changes had to be made in order to replace their absence and to ensure that all positions resume its functions. The changes are;

Public Relations Department will be handled by only one Exco; Mr. Awangku Alizul Azahari. He will be balancing all the in house and inter-university relations. He will also be frequently engaging with other executives and higher managements.

Sports and Recreational Department will be coordinated by an Acting Exco; Mr. Adi Zulhilmi bin Zainal Ambri to replace the absence of both Exco I and II. He is well versed in all S&R department’s job scope as he has been priory trained by the Excos while being a Rakan Exco (committee).

I would also like to announce on the establishment of a new department which is the Clubs Development Department. This Department will be led by the previous Exco II of Public Relation; Mr. Mohd Syahmi Syazwan. This department will be tied closely to Majlis Persidangan Presiden Kelab (MPPK). The role of MPPK is to synchronize and monitor the development, events, activities and performance of all Clubs officially registered in UTP. It is basically the collaboration of all clubs in UTP led by our Vice President I; Mr. Ahmad Umair Zubir.

The members of the council who are currently undergoing Industrial Internship Program will still continue their tasks and also representing SRCUTP at their respective locations. They will be assisting and monitoring the newly appointed successor and the existing members of the council.

Now that these changes have been officially implemented, I anticipate that it will help in running the council smoothly and will continue to fuel our progress.

Lastly, I would like to express my special thanks for your support since the beginning of SRCUTP 09/10 session and wish that the support will never lose its color. As student’s rights and necessities are always our priorities, I really hope that your trust will remain by our side in attempting for the betterment.

SRCUTP wishes you all the best and have a flourish semester!


Thank You.

Welcoming Address

Assalamualaikum wbkth and Salam Sejahtera.

First and foremost, thanks to God for giving us such a precious opportunity to be in 2010 that will promise us an exciting year with a lot of new challenges. Praise to Him too that 2009 had left us with a lot of challenging and thrilling experience which will be the most valuable shinning pearl for each of us in the future.

I guess it is still not too late for me to wish all of you a Happy New Year. Let us bring delightful changes to the world in this year. A New Year should be followed by a new spirit. Shouldn’t it? What are our aims for this year? Have we achieved our target in 2009 or are we going to bring the previous goal to this New Year? Those are the things to ponder. According to Umar Al Khattab, one of the Muslim scholars, if today is better than yesterday, we are fortunate enough but if today is just the same with yesterday, we lose and if today is worst than yesterday we are even very unfortunate. So where are we?

We are lucky as we are studying here in this prestigious university provided with a lot of advance facilities. Even though we are facing with many problems such as the internet problem and consequence management but we should be grateful as our friends in other universities have to face even more serious problems. Everybody should play our roles in order to solve the problems. We have to work hand to hand to achieve what we are fighting for. In a book “360° Leadership” written by John C Maxwell one of myths that is wrong in leadership is, leader is only for those who are in the high position. However, the most effective leader is the one who can influence people around him or her in wherever position they are.

I am very glad that MPPUTP 09/10 has a very good kick-start in this New Year. We had several engagements with the related party to discuss on various issues such as the clinic service, extended yellow line near v3 café, internet service, theft and others.

The achievement that opens up MPPUTPs’ 2010 diary is the change in Consequence Managements’ Policies. We should thanks to the previous MPPUTP 2007/08 and 2008/2009 for their effort to improve the policies. Lots of students keep asking about the status of CM right now. Well, there are several things that you need to know which are:

1. This time around, the monthly allowance for students affected by first (1) and second (2) CM will not being hold.
2. CM is still for those who get 2.5 and below.
3. Those who got the third CM, sponsorship will be terminated by PETRONAS.

Let us begin the new semester with a strong courage to change and to move forward. I hope this year will bring a lot of significant changes to each of us and let us leave behind what is bad for the sake of our happiness.
I believe we will be confronting with more challenges in this year. There is a quote said
“If you sail through life, do not avoid the wind and rough waters, just let it pass and keep moving because calm waters never make skillful sailors.”

Let us help each other. MPPUTP will always be with you because we are one. As always said by Tuan Haji Mohamed Noor Rosli Bin Baharom; 1 Destiny, 1 University, 1 UTP.

Thank you.

Kenyataan Presiden MPPUTP: Tidak Bersetuju Dengan Pembatalan Study Week

Pihak Pengurusan UTP membuat keputusan mengejut dengan membatalkan minggu studi (study week) untuk digantikan dengan cuti ‘terpaksa’ disebabkan wabak H1N1 yang melanda negara. Keputusan yang diambil secara drastik dan tidak mengambil kira keadaan dan pendapat pelajar menjadikan pihak Majlis Perwakilan Pelajar UTP tidak bersetuju dengan pihak pengurusan. Kenyataan Presiden MPPUTP, Ahmad Farouqi bin Hassan adalah seperti di bawah (ihsan dr http://www.utpress.blogspot.com )

[MPPUTP] MPPUTP Disagrees With the Cancellation of Study Week
Posted by Exco II Promotion and Publication
STUDY WEEK

Regarding the decision made by Academic Meeting on 12th August 2009, about the cancellation of study week due to H1N1 holidays as what had been posted by Registrar in e- learning, MPPUTP had a meeting and have a collective agreement regarding this issue.

MPPUTP disagrees at all with the cancellation of study week for July 2009 academic session. Hence, MPPUTP will take further action to discuss this matter with the university’s management until all students get back their right, one week of study week in July 2009 academic session.

Any further updates will be posted in official websites of MPP and e-learning. Until then, MPPUTP hope all students can give full co-operation with this matter by not spreading bad assumptions or rumors. We will ensure that the university management will reconsider this decision for the benefit of all UTP’s students.

Yours Faithfully,
Ahmad Farouqi b Hassan
President,
Majlis Perwakilan Pelajar (MPPUTP 08/09),
Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS.
