My Soul of Academia

UTM philosophy says that the divine law of Allah is the foundation of knowledge. UTM is committed in attaining excellence in science, technology and engineering for the well-being and prosperity of mankind. From this I believe that all achievements are nothing if they cannot contribute for the good of humanity, it will just be empty success without any meaning.

In becoming the premier university which provides world-class education and research, UTM is strive in developing holistic talents and prosper lives through knowledge and innovation technologies. For me, only by having these achievement through knowledge and innovative technologies, UTM can prove to the world that it is getting closer in achieving the vision that was set. The acknowledgement and ranking achieved from the talent and prosper live outcome from the motivation of me an academician to move forward.

The Envision UTM 2025 plan which supported by 5 core values; Integrity, Synergy, Excellence and Sustainability are becoming the base of career development in UTM, at least for me. As an academician, I have many responsibilities that are handed to me and should be executed as best that I could. In doing my jobs I should be resourceful with my surrounding; my colleagues, industries and communities should be included toward my effort achieving UTM goals. I believe the achievements and efforts that I do will be acknowledge by university and it should be continuously running with continuous motivation.

In supporting the core values, there are 5 strategic thrusts and 8 strategies priorities revolves around achieving excellence in students, staff, research, organizational and community aside the university ranking. For me in general, achieving the UTM goals should be done by not only considering the academic matters, but also the students, staff and organization should demonstrate good values in achieving the academic excellence.

Malaysia Education Philosophy emphasize the roles of physical, emotion, spiritual and intellectual in achieving academic excellence. As an education, I should not only be physically healthy and good, I have to show empathy to my students. University is not a military service but it’s a place for students and also staff to gain knowledge, experience and good values, so I should be show my students the good value of humanity to shape their spiritual self.  I should also encourage my students to contribute back to society in solving their daily lives by using the intellectual idea and solution. This support UTM philosophy to contribute to mankind.
