Alhamdulillah, her thesis entitled “Penerokaan terhadap Dorongan Motivasi Keusahawanan dalam Inovasi Penyelidikan Akademik di Universiti Awam Malaysia” received B1 with minor corrections.

Thank you also to the external examiner Prof. Dr. Nik Ahmad Hisham (IIUM) and the internal examiner AP Dr. Zainudin for the insightful comments and suggestions. Many thanks also to Prof. Sukri who chaired the session, assisted by Dr. Hadijah.
