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
President SRC BJ 09/10

H1N1 INFLUENZA

GUIDELINES FOR STUDENTS AND STAFF

In view of the increasing number of H1N1 influenza cases in the country and the occurrence of local transmission, all students and staff are strongly urged to adhere the following guidelines:

1. Hand hygiene is the single most important measure in preventing infection so

• Clean your hands regularly and frequently.
• Wash your hands with soap and water, and dry them thoroughly.
• Use alcohol-based handrub if you don’t have immediate access to soap and water.
• IMU will be providing alcohol handrub dispensers at designated locations like laboratories and the skills centre but all students and staff are strongly advised to carry on your person a small bottle of the alcohol hand rub. This is readily available at most pharmacies.

2. If you have symptoms of influenza like fever, cough, sore throat and body aches do not come to the university.

• Go and see a doctor immediately.
• Follow all local public health recommendations.
• Keep your distance from well individuals as much as possible (at least 1 metre or 3 feet).
• Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing, with tissues or other suitable materials, to contain respiratory secretions. Dispose of the material immediately after use or wash it.
• Clean hands immediately after contact with respiratory secretions.
• Improve airflow in your living space by opening windows as much as possible.
