Something unexpected beyond my schedule took place and dominated majority of my time today. As I was attending a meeting at the Research Alliance office at 9:00 AM regarding the New Funding Formula (NFF), scheduled to end just before 11:00 AM, I received a call from Wan (10.30am), our assistant at the RMC office. She informed me that four officers from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (SPRM) had arrived at our office, requesting to meet either the Director or the Deputy Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I immediately returned to the RMC office and met with the officers. In short, they were seeking clarification on a particular matter, and we fully cooperated and provided the necessary assistance. Alhamdulillah, the process went smoothly, and they were able to achieve their objective for the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As for us in RMC, we were simply glad to be of help. It was certainly a unique experience, not the kind of official duty typically encountered by an academician or university administrator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other tasks performed today:<\/strong> (1) Attending the NFF meeting, (2) Mock presentation for my MKKL student (Nizam about his project ALCOA+ for pharmaceutical industry).<\/p>\n\n\n\n #20242025 Day 008<\/p>\n\n\n\n #Tuesday<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Something unexpected beyond my schedule took place and dominated majority of my time today.
