Securing UTM Matching Grant When Receiving External Grant – May 23

Alhamdulillah, I received an external grant from Yayasan Strategik Lestari (YSL) with the amount of MYR 33k with the proposed research titled “QUANTIFYING CLIMATE CHANGES EFFECT TOWARDS LANDSLIDE HAZARD ZONATION FOR URBAN COMMUNITY”. On top of that, I am also one of their research fellow.

Given the small amount of which I cannot provide a monthly allowance for my student, I have applied UTM Matching Grant (UTM MG). At UTM, you are given the opportunity to apply for the MG amounting up to MYR 50k when you received an external grant (if I am not mistaken, only if the source is from the private sector). Therefore, I proposed another grant application with the title “QUANTIFYING CLIMATE CHANGES EFFECT TOWARDS LANDSLIDE HAZARD ZONATION”. Alhamdulillah it was approved.
