Hello world!

Hi everyone. Welcome to my page.

So you’re checking me out, I see. I guess you would like to know more about me 🙂

Let me tell you about myself.

I am currently a lecturer at Razak’s Faculty of Technology and Informatics, in the Department of Science, Management, and Design, at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur. My areas of interest include, but aren’t limited to, Facilities Management, Building Services and Maintenance — including most of everything related to the Built Environment. I have a Bachelors Degree in Building Surveying (UM), Masters in Facilities Management and Asset Maintenance (Heriot-Watt, UK) and a PhD in Facility Management (UTM).

I have been with the university since 2002. I was a tutor in the Department of Quantity Surveying, of the-then Faculty of Built Environment. Now the department has merged with Faculty of Geo-informatics and Survey, to be Faculty of Built Environment and Survey, in the main UTM campus at UTM Skudai Johor.

I was formally appointed as a lecturer in the year 2005. Then, I was seconded to the UTM’s private wing, UTMSPACE in Kuala Lumpur in the year 2010. I served as a lecturer in Department of Built Environment’s UTMSPACE Diploma Studies. Later, in April 2022 I was accepted to join Razak Faculty of Technology and Informatics, UTMKL. I have since become one of faculty members at the Department of Science, Management and Design, until present time.

My current passion lies in the research, teaching and learning activities. Particularly, in the areas of Facilities Management, Building Maintenance and Asset Management.

Since I joined RFTI, I have taught the courses of Introduction to Facility Management for Executive Diploma Programme, Service Life Planning and Asset Management, and Services and Maintenance of Infrastructure Asset for MSc Sustainable Infrastructure Programme. I also teach Research Methodology classes and supervision for Masters and PhD students. Currently, I am serving as the course coordinator for Executive Diploma in Facility Management — EDFM Programme, from April 2022 until April 2024.

That’s all for my brief introduction. Soon, there will be more to know, with the coming posts on my academic journey.

Until then.
