Silent Protest regarding new robe and mortarboard issue


Konvo: 3,000 pelajar UIA bantah ganti songkok
Jimadie Shah Othman Aug 20, 08 2:48pm

Seramai 3,158 pelajar Universiti Islam Antarabangsa (UIA) menandatangani petisyen membantah keputusan pihak pentadbiran universiti tersebut untuk menggunakan jubah baru dan menggantikan pemakaian songkok untuk majlis konvokesyennya.Pihak pentadbiran UIA memutuskan untuk menggunakan jubah baru serta menggantikan pemakaian songkok dengan mortar.Bantahan tersebut diterajui oleh Majlis Perwakilan Mahasiswa UIA (MPP-UIA).Berikutan itu, seramai 100 pelajar UIA telah mengadakan perhimpunan tengahari untuk menyokong tindakan MPP membantah perubahan tersebut.Presiden MPP-UIA, Muhammad Adib Hatim berkata, mereka membantah penggantian pemakaian songkok tersebut kerana ia sudah menjadi identiti UIA sejak 25 tahun lalu.Katanya, manakala keputusan menggunakan jubah baru itu dan mortar tersebut, menyebabkan pihak universiti menanggung kos sebanyak RM2.1 juta.Selepas perhimpunan tersebut, Muhammad Adib telah menyerahkan tandatangan tersebut kepada Timbalan Rektor UIA (Akademik dan Penyelidikan), Prof Datuk Dr MD Tahir Azhar.Katanya, kempen mengutip tandatangan pelajar bagi membantah keputusan UIA itu dianjurkan oleh MPP-UIA.UIA mempunyai 13,000 pelajar di kampus induknya di Gombak dan 2,000 lagi di kampus cawangannya di Kuantan, Pahang.
Minta butiran terperinciMuhammad Adib berkata, mereka mempersoalkan tindakan universiti membuat keputusan yang melibatkan jumlah wang yang banyak, tanpa berbincang terlebih dahulu dengan mahasiswa."Kami hanya mengetahuinya apabila media melaporkan terlebih dahulu," kata Muhammad.MPP juga menuntut pihak universiti memberikan butian terperinci mengenai perbelanjaan untuk tujuan itu.Dr Md Tahir, ketika ditemui pemberita selepas pertemuan 30 minit dengan tiga pemimpin MPP -UIA, termasuk Muhammad berkata, songkok masih terus digunakan seperti biasa dalam majlis-majlis lain. "Hanya untuk konvokesyen sahaja mortar digunakan untuk diseragamkan dengan universiti-universiti lain," katanya.Beliau menolak dakwaan bahawa RM2.1 juta itu mahal kerana jubah dan mortar itu, menurutnya, boleh digunakan dalam tempoh yang lama sehingga lebih 20 tahun.5,000 pakaian"Mana ada mahal...baju yang dia pakai lagi mahal. " katanya sambil menunjuk ke arah seorang pemberita wanita.Katanya, jubah dan songkok lama itu akan dijual jika ada kolej-kolej baru yang berniat membelinya.UIA membeli lebih kurang 5,000 pakaian untuk majlis konvokesyen baru. Lebih 4,000 pekajar akan menggunakannya selama tiga hari mulai Sabtu ini. Mengulas dakwaan bahawa tindakan pentadbiran universiti itu membelakangi mahasiswa, Dr Md Tahir berkata, terdapat beberapa perkara yang perlu diberitahu dan ada yang tidak perlu diberitahu terlebih dahulu."Dalam kes ini, ia berada dalam kawasan samar-samar, boleh beritahu dulu. Tetapi tidak beritahu pun tidak mengapa," kata Dr Md Tahir.

New Robe and Mortarboard in IIUM




Topi mortar ganti songkok semasa konvokesyen UIAM24/07/2008 5:51pm
KUALA LUMPUR 24 Julai — Pemakaian songkok dan tudung khas oleh pelajar Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia (UIAM) semasa majlis konvokesyen akan dihentikan dan diganti dengan topi mortar bermula 23 Ogos ini.
Timbalan Rektor di Bahagian Akademik dan Kajian, Prof. Datuk Dr. Tahir Azhar berkata, perubahan ini dibuat bagi menyeragamkan etika pemakaian konvokesyen pelajar di seluruh negara.
“Tambahan pula dengan perubahan ini kami tidak perlu lagi menjawab soalan-soalan berunsur skeptikal (was was) daripada sesetengah pihak,” katanya pada sidang akhbar di sini hari ini.
Beliau berkata dijangka seramai 4,112 pelajar akan mengenakan jubah dan topi mortar baru pada konvokesyen yang akan diadakan dari 23 hingga 25 Ogos ini.
Katanya warna jubah juga ditukar dari warna hijau firus (turquoise) kepada biru firus, dan mengubah corak songket yang sedia ada di bahagian lengan jubah dengan songket pucuk rebung yang lebih terserlah.
“Perbelanjaan untuk menyediakan jubah baru ini memakan belanja RM2.1 juta, tapi ia boleh dipakai untuk 20 hingga 30 tahun lamanya,” katanya. — BERNAMA

wireless briefing session

On 30 n 31 August 2008, IT Division in collabration with Info n Multimedia Sec, SRC 07/08, managed to organise the wireless briefing and registration session. we got many positive and negative feedbacks regarding the session. some of the comments are, the time is not suitable because it was done during the class hour. besides, the 1 day session cannot cover the big amount of IIUM students. however, the situation is under control on the second day. ITD said, the reason for that is because of unsufficient number of staff from ITD. because of that, they asked the assistance from my secretariat to ease their work during that day..THANKS TO ALL VOLUNTEERS FOR YOUR GOOD CO-OPERATION AND GOOD SERVICES:)..MAY ALLAH BLESS US..:)

p/s: for those who have problems with their registration, feel free to go to ITD and visit http://www.wireless.iiu.edu.my/ for more information
