Raja Muda Of Perlis Wants UniMAP Staff To Be Bold In Challenging Status Quo

GEORGE TOWN, Oct 27 (Bernama) -- The Raja Muda of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail has called on the staff of Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) to be bold in challenging the status quo in efforts to empower the university.

Tuanku Syed Faizuddin, who is also the UniMAP Chancellor, said they should have the courage to take risk and should not fear to make mistakes which should instead be treated as a major challenge to improve the situation.

In his speech at the pre-launch of the "Sedekad UniMAP" programme on board the cruise ship, Superstar Libra, in Penang waters last night, he said the university staff should always be open minded and competent in their respective disciplines.

He wanted the UniMAP to create three new programmes namely the sports technology, marine and exotics to widen its programme size as it entered its tenth year.

The Raja Muda said the initiative was in line with the government's aspiration to develop the country's higher education sector.
