It’s time now to give back to the community.

The Deputy of Vice Chancellor Office (Research & Innovation), UTM KL and MJIIT are currently working side-by-side for a USR project named “Program Pembangunan Modal Insan Melalui Transformasi Ekonomi dan Pendidikan ke Arah Kecemerlangan Komuniti Orang Asli”. This main project is divided into four sub-projects which are :

1. Pembangunan Kemahiran Komuniti Orang Asli Menggunakan Teknologi Hidroponik untuk Penanaman Pelbagai Sayuran dan Buahan – Prof. Emeritus Dr. Md Nor Bin Musa.
2. Pembangunan Kemahiran Pembuatan Peralatan Hidroponik dan Sistem Penyejukan Cecair Hidroponik untuk Sumber Pendapatan Tambahan Komuniti Orang Asli – Assoc. Prof. Dr. Shaikh Ahmad Zaki Bin Shaikh Salim.
3. Penghasilan Baja Kompos daripada Bahan Buangan Pertanian dan Sisa Hutan Ke Arah Kelestarian Alam Sekitar Bersama Komuniti Orang Asli – Dr. Fazrena Nadia Binti Md Akhir.
4. Pengaplikasian Sistem Komersial Pengumpulan dan Pemasaran Berpusat Produk Pertanian dan Kraftangan Komuniti Orang Asli – Assoc. Prof. Dr. Akbariah Binti Mohd Mahdzir.

We will be sharing our knowledge and expertise with the Orang Asli community in Pos Betau, Pahang. We are so lucky to be awarded the UTM KTP-Research Innovation Grant 2021 (RM20,000) for this project, funded by Centre of Community and Industry Network (CCIN), UTM.

Thanks UTM!

The Malaysian Youth Upcycle Challenge (My YUC) 2020/21 program was held on the 18th January – 7th Februari 2021. This innovation program aims to enhance the interest of our youth to elements of Science, Technology and Innovation (STI). This program was jointly organised by  Persatuan Kesihatan Persekitaran dan Pekerjaan (EOHS) and Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) under the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) and Yayasan Inovasi Malaysia (YIM). The director of this program was Dr. Sharifah NorKhadijah Binti Syed Ismail from UPM.

Together with many academia from other universities, I have been appointed as one of the judges to evaluate the submission by our youth inventors. There are three themes in the competition which are Green Technology, Environmental Sustainability and Renewable Energy.

Congratulations to all winners! Keep inventing!

Hello peeps!

On the 20th March 2021, I have joined the Bahasa Isyarat Malaysia (sign language) online class with our MJIIT community. This program was organised by the MSDeaf (Persatuan Sukan Orang Pekak Malaysia). It was such a great experience as I have never learn the sign language before.

There will be 5 sessions that will be held every Saturdays at 10.00 am – 11.30 am. Our teacher’s name is Teacher Cyril. The first lesson was to get to know the alphabet using sign language.

We had so much fun learning and we are looking forward for our next class on the 27th March.

Thanks heaps MJIIT for sponsoring us and see you all this Saturday!

Bye!
