OK guys, result came out last Friday. Hope u guys are satisfied with ur result.
Few things I'd like to mention:

A) I understood that no one got the email for the result. I'm not sure what
happened because AAD said they'll email everyone except those using YAHOO MAIL
ACCOUNT because there's a problem between IMU SERVER AND YAHOO ACCOUNT. So i
suggest u guys go to AAD directly to collect ur result slip. If u r not around,
just contact any of ur friends in KL to collect them.

B) In case anyone got the email, can u guys comment in our chatbox in the blog
whether THE EMAIL HAS GONE TO YOUR INBOX OR TO JUNK MAIL. Our blogspot link is
http://www.imu-m207.blogspot.com/

Yeah, that's about it. Thank you and enjoy the rest of rotation or GP Posting or
HOLIDAY!!

Talk by Tun Mahatir and other announcements

1.Talk by Tun Mahatir

There will be a dialogue session with YABhg Tun Mahathir Mohammad on 7 July 2009, 9:30 a.m. The theme is "Leadership in Medicine & contribution to Nation Building".

We need an estimated 130 students from all the courses in IMU Bukit Jalil to attend the session as this is a very beneficial talk. However, if the response is overwhelming, more seat will be opened to more students. Those who are attending the talk will either be exempted from the class (if they have) or the class itself will be canceled.

We also need 5 questions from students to be forwarded during Q & A sessions and please kindly identify 5 students that will voice out the question. Please prepare the question by the 29th of June.

So overall we need at least 15 or more people from each batch.

Warmest regards,
Zia Shah
