Today, the Chemical Engineering Program had a meeting with the Chair of School of Chemical & Energy Engineering. The 2 hour duration meeting conducted via Webex, was attended by 40 academic staffs. The chair presented about the guidelines on how to go about the academic session throughout the Movement Control Order (MCO). Generally, not only UTM but all universities and schools in Malaysia and the world are affected by the pandemic and we have to just follow instruction to work from home.
The MCO has been implemented since 18th March 2020 and that means I have not visited my office for 2 weeks already because we were instructed just to stay and work from home. However, I need to get some documents, books and reference for my online teaching and the filling up for Anugerah Pengajaran. Hence, I have to go to my office, but first I need to get an approval from the Chair.
Well, alhamdulillah everything was fine. I managed to get all my things… I am able to continue work from home. But UTM and the streets are empty. It’s clear. No traffic jam at least from my house to UTM. However, I can see some traffic jam on the way exiting Jalan Skudai which I strongly believe is due to the Police / Military road blocks to minimize and control the vehicles and people movement.
