H1N1 is rampant. Be prepared!!

SHAH ALAM: Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) mengumumkan cuti pertengahan semester bagi sesi pengajian Julai-November 2009 dipercepatkan bermula 27 Julai ini berikutan kes jangkitan Influenza A (H1N1) di beberapa kampus cawangannya.

Menurut kenyataan Jabatan Koporat UiTM, cuti semester itu diawalkan kepada 27 Julai hingga 2 Ogos berbanding cuti yang dijadualkan terdahulu dari 17 September hingga 27 September.

Cuti semester baru itu berkuatkuasa bagi seluruh cawangan UiTM termasuk kampus induk Shah Alam kecuali bagi kampus Lendu di Melaka.

Menurut UiTM, tindakan berkenaan diambil bagi memastikan ibu bapa tidak bimbang atau panik dengan laporan media berhubung penyebaran wabak H1N1 di kampus-kampus UiTM, dengan mengambil kira kepentingan akademik dan kesihatan pelajar.

Menurut kenyataan itu, jika terdapat pelajar yang mengalami simptom jangkitan selepas tempoh cuti semester berakhir, mereka perlu mendapatkan rawatan lanjut di klinik atau hospital berhampiran dan hanya dibenarkan mengikuti semula kuliah selepas mendapat surat pengesahan yang mereka bebas dari H1N1.

Cuti pertengahan semester tidak membabitkan kakitangan UiTM. Maklumat lanjut berhubung pengumuman itu boleh didapati melalui laman web UiTM di www.uitm.edu.my. - Bernama

Based on the news cutting above, UiTM has taken a comprehensive and rather drastic pre-emptive measure to contain the widespreading of the virus

Since i am part of the UiTM community, i am quite glad and relieved when the announcement approached me. Studying in INTEC is truly a wonderful and memorable experience ever. The beginning of the story may be filled with frustration and disappointment as i was unable to adapt and get used to the life in the college.

Bitterness comes with sweetness

A week time would be adequate for me to refresh my mind as well as settling down on my unreasonable condemn and meaningless complaints. Blank my spirit but profusely squeeze in all the knowledge and well-controlled emotions. Raise my self-esteem plz. Thank god i make it in the INTEC, make it for jpa scholarship, make myself and everyone proud and leave no red mark carved on their mind. Be the best among of all

Ending my words with a surprise move from UiTM management department. They have a good intention in safeguarding the welfare and health of every beloved student. This immediate respite will replace the original mid-sem break and indeed no doubt to say... there is ntg special, no concern, no influence. We are all pacing on the same pathway towards intellectual and spiritual success.
