However, his tenure at the Research Management Centre (RMC) was short-lived, lasting only 40 days. Subsequently, Nur Fatimah Marwar took over the responsibilities. In line with recent organizational restructuring, we no longer use the title SRM; the role has since evolved into two separate leadership functions\u2014Head of Profund Unit and Head of Promans Unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, four months later, we convened the next Debriefing Meeting, which marks a renewed commitment to holding these sessions regularly every month, <em>InsyaAllah<\/em>. Despite current manpower limitations, the Project Management and Monitoring Division (PMMD) continues to strive toward operational stability and effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Debriefing Meeting serves as a critical platform to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Discuss and resolve pressing issues faced by both PMMD and the Finance Department (FD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-Align and synchronize work processes, particularly in areas of overlapping responsibilities, such as grant activation, fund disbursement, and reporting mechanisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meeting Highlights \u2013 8 July 2025:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Time:<\/strong> 2:30 PM \u2013 4:50 PM<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Venue:<\/strong> RMC&#8217;s BM1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chaired by:<\/strong> Myself<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This session proved to be particularly challenging and complex, with numerous i<strong>ssues<\/strong> tabled for discussion.
