IFTAR 2023
Our lab’s day out. I am happy to invite my MPhil and PhD students for an Iftar session. Sorry for my students who are in their home country, maybe next time we can have this Iftar session again. No academic research discussion today. Only food and chit chat.
FAREWELL NIKOLAS ANGI PUTRA
Having a dinner with these two young lads. Thank you Aprillia Rahmi Utami for coming. And farewell Nikolas Angi Putra! Have a safe trip back to Bandung.

I am very honored when my old friend Prof. Ismail Karas from KARABUK UNIVERSITY – Karabük Üniversitesi Turkiye was willing to pay us a visit at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. Our long conversation started from matters related to research, student supervision, cooperation between universities, national governance related to higher education, up to local culture.
Our meeting was short and it feels like there should be continued maybe next time in Turkiye. Thanks for coming İsmail Rakıp Karaş!

INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZING COMMITTEE MEMBERS
Invited to be one of the organizing committee members (OCM) for the International Summit on Civil, Structural, and Environmental Engineering 2023. It is a new conference for me but being with other scientists and academicians from all around the globe makes me feel overwhelmed . It is a physical/face-to-face conference. Let us hope next year everything will be better.

PHD VIVA VOCE – ISA MUHAMMAD ZUMO
Congratulations to Isa Muhammad Zumo from Adamawa, Nigeria for having his PhD defense on August 5th, 2021.
Held virtually, student is at his home country while the viva voce session is conducted according to Universiti Teknologi Malaysia local time. The session started at 2am (Nigeria time) and ended after a few hours. I believe it was a very long night for the student.
A bit of interesting info is that, at Adamawa state, it is recorded zero case for COVID-19 and there is no more rules to wear a face mask. Its an info that is quite different from what other countries are going through.
Anyway, congratulations once again to the student for passing his viva voce.

MYBANTU WORD CLOUD
Word cloud is a novelty visual representation of text data, typically used to depict tags/keyword metadata. This format is useful for quickly perceiving the most prominent terms to determine its relative prominence. Bigger term means greater weight.
To date, the Word Cloud generated from the myBantu form shows some of the most frequently used words. The frequently used words are:
I hope this generated Word cloud can be used as a reference for those who want to help. Thank you Malaysians for the kindness.

MYBANTU WEEKLY DATA UPDATE
As usual, in addition to data checking done daily, data cleanup is done periodically. Data cleanup is done to prevent repeated/overlapping assistance from occurring.
Based on this week’s myBantu map, almost half (47%) of the locations that need help managed to receive help. Especially in the northern part of the Peninsula and in Sabah and Sarawak. Thank you Malaysians who care, provide assistance to those in need.
However, this week’s myBantu map also recorded a higher increase in daily reports compared to the previous week. Hopefully this report will decrease and more Malaysians can be helped.
Since this information can be updated by users, hopefully locations that have received help or “suspicious” can be edited or deleted. Only the locals will be able to do the verification.
To Malaysians who need help, you can fill out the form at this link https://arcg.is/1mK5zn0.
