MALAYSIA, 10 AUGUST 2023&nbsp;-- Universal McCann (UM), the global media agency network of
IPG Mediabrands, announced its sixth annual day of service to the community, UM
Impact Day, on 20th July. Launched under UM’s corporate social
responsibility initiative, Better World, Impact Day exemplifies the agency’s
commitment to community and care and its employees’ commitment to driving a
better workplace, work product and world for the communities in which they live
and serve.

Themed “Building a Better Future”, UM
Impact Day this year saw 80 UM employees in Malaysia come together to support
the Super Sarapan project (Super Breakfast), an ongoing project done in partnership
with Yayasan Generasi Gemilang and aimed at feeding children from low-income
households whose family’s combined monthly income is less than RM2,500. 

Audrey Chong, Chief Executive Officer of
UM commented, “Our aim this year, was to raise funds for this exceptional
programme that looks to close the education gap for underserved children by
improving literacy and nutrition. Super Sarapan helps address the issue of
hunger and motivates children to stay in schools by giving them a daily meal
for each day they go to school. In this way, it encourages them to continue
their education, thus opening the door for them to create a better future and
elevate their livelihood.”

This Impact Day saw UM Malaysia inviting
clients, partners, friends and family for a carnival in the office, where UM
staff contributed time, energy and resources to create a fun-fair like day of
food &amp; beverages, games and activities. UM clients including Tyson Foods,
F&amp;N Malaysia, Munchy's and Mattel also supported the carnival by way of
prizes and items to be sold on the day. The carnival sales proceeds totaled
RM22,500, donated to Yayasan Generasi Gemilang for the Super Sarapan project.

Melissa Ngiam, Chief Executive Officer
of Yayasan Generasi Gemilang said, "At Yayasan Generasi Gemilang, we get
to see first-hand how providing a meal every single school day makes a huge
difference in improving food insecurity for underserved students in Malaysia.
Super Sarapan exists to address the very real issue of student hunger. It is so
meaningful to see the team at Universal McCann showing their genuine support
for this programme. Thank you so much! The funds raised will allow us to
collaborate with more schools to ensure more students are fed.”

Audrey adds, “This year’s cause was
extremely meaningful to us as we looked towards helping drive change in our community
and contributing towards the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals
(SDG), in particular, SDG 1 – no poverty; SDG 2 – zero hunger and SDG 4 –
quality education. We are thankful for the collaboration of our numerous
clients and partners who have been extremely generous with their support. And
not to forget, a big thanks to our UM team, who drove this year’s impact day
with heart and boundless energy to make the day a success.”

KUANTAN: The International Islamic University of Malaysia's (IIUM) Kulliyyah of Nursing has seen a steady increase of men entering the profession since 2004, with some securing jobs abroad.

IIUM rector Professor Emeritus Tan Sri Dr Dzulkifli Abdul Razak said the university's four-year degree programme in nursing began in 2004 with only one male student in the first batch.

Today, some 15 per cent of the 523 nursing undergraduates are males.

"The enrolment of male nursing students at IIUM displayed an upward trend from 2015 onwards.

"The Kulliyyah of Nursing has the capability to train both male and female nurses."

He added that there was a growing demand for male nurses, especially in hospitals and health clinics where their physical strength is needed, such as in the operation theatre, orthopaedic wards and emergency department," he told reporters here today.

Earlier, Dzulkifli had accompanied Deputy Higher Education Minister Datuk Mohammad Yusof Apdal at the launch of the 3rd International Nurses Conference 2023.

The conference themed "Future Global Direction in Nursing and Midwifery for Sustainable Healthcare Workforce" was attended by some 200 practitioners and experts from Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Hong Kong and Singapore.

Dzulkifli said male nursing graduates are in demand both locally and abroad.

"Some move abroad to work in countries like Singapore, Germany and Saudi Arabia. Each year, a total of 150 male and female students join the nursing programme at IIUM and to date, we have produced some 900 graduates."

On the three-day conference, Dzulkifli said the objective was to gather nursing practitioners and experts to exchange ideas, present research outcomes and latest findings related to the field.

Their time in the US will give them the chance to pick up new skillsets that may be an advantage in their careers. They deserve this chance, and we are excited to help them achieve their dream.”

Describing his emotions, Joshua said: “I am sincerely grateful for the invaluable assistance I have received from my dean, lecturers, programme coordinator, and the university as a whole.
“Their unwavering support has played a pivotal role in enabling me to pursue my passion and fulfil my dreams. I am particularly excited about the upcoming exchange programme, an opportunity that would not have been possible without their guidance and encouragement. This is truly a dream come true, as it will undoubtedly broaden my horizons, and for that, I am immensely thankful to my university.”
Jasreena added: “This has been an extraordinary accomplishment, one that I will cherish forever. Throughout this remarkable journey, QIU has stood by my side, providing unwavering support and guidance. This achievement is not solely the result of my individual efforts; it is a testament to the collective strength of the QIU community. I am deeply grateful to everyone at QIU – from my exceptional Dean and faculty members, dedicated programme coordinator, and my friends in class who continuously motivated me to push beyond my limits.”
“My aspirations go far beyond personal success. I envision shattering the constraints of societal norms and striving to transform Malaysia into a better nation. With QIU’s unwavering support, I am ready to embrace this transformative journey and leave a lasting impact on my beloved country.”

QIU STUDENTS FULFIL LIFELONG DREAM AFTER BEING SELECTED FOR PRESTIGIOUS AMERICAN STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAMME

KOTA KINABALU:&nbsp;Layang Layang Flying Academy (LLFA), a Sabah-based subsidiary of Layang Layang Group (LLG), announced the launch of the LLG Johan Poong Pilot Scholarship, offering a deserving individual the opportunity to pursue their dreams of becoming a professional pilot.The scholarship, personally championed by LLFA’s founder, Datuk Johan Poong, covers Commercial Pilot Licence with Instrument Rating (Frozen Airline Transport Pilot Licence) valued at RM418,200.&nbsp;LLG Group General Manager Captain Shahdon Poong said detailed information about the scholarship, including eligibility requirements and application procedures, can be found on LLFA’s official Facebook and Instagram profiles.

“Sabahans can take pride in LLFA’s achievements and its contributions to the aviation industry. As a locally-based company, LLFA embodies the spirit of Sabah and represents the aspirations of the Sabahans.

“By establishing a strong presence at the recent Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (Lima ‘23), LLFA aims to inspire and encourage more Sabahans to pursue careers in aviation, fostering growth and development within the local community,” he said in a statement.

LLFA made its debut at Lima ‘23 through its acquisition of the GB1 GameBird aerobatic aircraft. Shahdon said LLFA, with its extensive experience and expertise in pilot training, was excited to showcase its commitment to Malaysia’s air transport safety while promoting Sabah’s rich culture and propelling the future of aviation in the region.

LLG, incorporated in 1994 as Layang Layang Aerospace Sdn Bhd, has evolved into an integrated general aviation services provider, catering to a diverse range of aviation needs. With offerings in air transport, aircraft maintenance and engineering support, the company  extended its expertise to encompass a flight training academy. LLFA, established in 2014, is a renowned aviation education and training organisation operating under LLG. With a rich history of success in Malaysia, LLG established itself as a leader in the industry.

With almost 28 years of experience, LLG is firmly established in the aviation industry in Malaysia, with a network of bases in Kota Kinabalu, Miri, Kuching, Sibu, Ipoh, Subang and Johor Bahru. Its subsidiary, Layang Layang Aerospace (LLA), is a leading provider of helicopter and aeroplane transport services for private and government charters. LLA handles a range of services, including medical evacuations, flying doctor services, runway calibrations, air photography/videography, aerial surveys, equipment procurements, aircraft maintenance and storage of aircraft parts.

LLFA, as an integral part of the LLG, focuses on aviation education and training programmes, providing trainee pilots with the knowledge, skills, and attitude to excel in the industry. The academy offers comprehensive aviation programmes in both aeroplane and helicopter training. LLFA and its business aviation unit, LLA, operate on an integrated partnership model that ensures the best delivery experience for passengers, clients, and trainee pilots.

Layang Layang Group of companies are authorised and approved by the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) in accordance with the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) standards. This recognition underscores LLFA’s commitment to maintaining the highest standards of safety and professionalism in its operations.

LLFA is committed to Malaysia’s National Transport Policy and aims to strengthen the country’s air transport safety aspect to meet ICAO standards. As such, Johan who is also the Group Managing Director of LLG, took the initiative to lead the Advanced Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (A-UPRT) and aerobatic training in Malaysia, a project that will benefit long-term flight training and public aircraft operations in Malaysia while raising the level of the country’s aerosports activities. By pursuing this goal, LLFA will become Malaysia’s first flight academy to achieve several milestones, including becoming the First Advanced UPRT and Aerobatic Training Academy in Southeast Asia, registering the GB1 GameBird aircraft as the first aerobatic aircraft registered in Malaysia, and recognising Captain John Sham as the First Advanced UPRT and Aerobatic Pilot and Instructor in Malaysia.

LLFA takes great pride in its pilot competency and aircraft readiness, which will be represented by John, an experienced former Royal Malaysian Air Force fighter instructor pilot and Krisakti Air Display pilot, who has been performing in the LIMA air show since 1997. John completed his Type Rating GB1 GameBird training in the United States in December 2022 and underwent Advanced Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (A-UPRT), aerobatics and formation flying training at the British Aerobatic Academy in March 2023. Approved and recognised by CAAM, Civil Aviation Authority UK (CAA) and European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), John has undergone intensive aerobatic training with Maciej Kulaszewski, a World Aerobatics Champion and renowned aerobatic trainer, to ensure that the GB1 GameBird is safely operated at the international professional level.

Shahdon said as LLFA makes its debut at Lima ‘23 with the GB1 GameBird aerobatic aircraft, the company remains dedicated to its core values of safety, excellence and promoting Sabah’s cultural heritage. LLFA takes pride in incorporating Sabahan motifs and designs in its merchandise, offering visitors a unique and authentic experience of Sabah’s vibrant traditions. “By promoting Sabahan motifs in their merchandise, LLFA aims to raise awareness and appreciation of Sabah’s artistry and craftsmanship, contributing to the preservation of local traditions,” he said.

Looking ahead, he said LLFA envisions a future of growth and innovation in the aviation industry. “By participating in Lima ‘23, LLFA aims to inspire and encourage more Sabahans and Malaysians to pursue careers in aviation, while also showcasing the State’s unique cultural heritage to the international community.” According to Shahdon, LLFA envisions a thrilling journey of excellence and innovation in the aviation industry. With the GB1 GameBird aerobatic aircraft as its wings, he said LLFA aims to soar to new heights by participating in local, regional, and international air shows, captivating audiences with awe-inspiring aerial displays that showcase the skills and expertise of its pilots. “As LLFA becomes a hub for Advanced UPRT and aerobatic training in the region, it will attract aspiring pilots from around the world, fostering a vibrant community of aviation enthusiasts who share a passion for precision and excitement in the skies. “With a firm commitment to safety and a relentless pursuit of excellence, LLFA sets its sights on joining prestigious air races, pushing the boundaries of speed, skill, and innovation, as it embarks on an exciting future in the world of aviation,” he added.

<h1>RYTHM Foundation-UKM Convention Formulates Resolutions to Uphold Indigenous Rights in Malaysia</h1>KUALA LUMPUR, June 27, 2023 – A convention addressing the issues and challenges affecting Malaysia’s indigenous communities formulated more than 30 resolutions to address the marginalised groups’ critical predicament in education, health, livelihood, and statelessness.

The resolutions were adopted at the end of the two-day ‘Indigenous Communities in Malaysia: Reframing the National Sustainability Initiative’ Convention on June 22. It was co-hosted by RYTHM Foundation, the social impact initiative of the QI Group, and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM).

Held at UKM’s Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, the gathering comprised prominent organisations and institutions such as Yayasan Sime Darby, Quest International University, Institut Pendidikan Guru Kampus Ilmu Khas, The Malaysian Orang Asli Graduates Association, Universiti Teknologi Mara, and UIA Pagoh.

The resolutions were adopted from keynote speeches, a forum, roundtable discussions, and project presentations that discussed improving the education, health, livelihood and undocumented status of the country’s indigenous population, including the Orang Asli.

“For far too long, indigenous communities in our nation, like in many parts of the globe, have borne the burden of historical injustices, cultural marginalisation, and social inequalities,” the Head of RYTHM, Santhi Periasamy, said.

“Their struggles, resilience, and wisdom have often been overlooked. This inaugural convention acknowledged the urgent need to address these challenges and work towards a better future for all.

“The proposed resolutions clearly outline the needs of our indigenous population in these areas,” Santhi added.

A key highlight of the education resolutions included creating a relevant curriculum for the communities focusing on aspects of their daily lives, including health, nutrition, and hygiene, and teachings about spirituality and stewardship.

In the health sphere, one of the recommendations included developing culture-appropriate health programmes and enabling the largely relegated groups to take control of the health needs of their communities.

A critical livelihood resolution emphasised empowering the indigenous through sustainable economic initiatives like skill development programmes, microfinance access, and creating sustainable enterprises that harness the rich cultural heritage of the population.

As crucial reference points for future actions in the areas of human rights and statelessness, the deliberators suggested alluding to reports by the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia and the United Nations Declaration On The Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

The convention also recognised the importance of preserving the land rights of the indigenous. Recommendations were made to strengthen legal protections, enhance consultation processes, and ensure the indigenous have a prominent voice in matters concerning their territories.

KUALA LUMPUR, June 27, 2023 – A convention addressing the issues and challenges affecting Malaysia’s indigenous communities formulated more than 30 resolutions to address the marginalised groups’ critical predicament in education, health, livelihood, and statelessness.

The resolutions were adopted at the end of the two-day ‘Indigenous Communities in Malaysia: Reframing the National Sustainability Initiative’ Convention on June 22. It was co-hosted by RYTHM Foundation, the social impact initiative of the QI Group, and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM).

Held at UKM’s Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, the gathering comprised prominent organisations and institutions such as Yayasan Sime Darby, Quest International University, Institut Pendidikan Guru Kampus Ilmu Khas, The Malaysian Orang Asli Graduates Association, Universiti Teknologi Mara, and UIA Pagoh.

The resolutions were adopted from keynote speeches, a forum, roundtable discussions, and project presentations that discussed improving the education, health, livelihood and undocumented status of the country’s indigenous population, including the Orang Asli.

“For far too long, indigenous communities in our nation, like in many parts of the globe, have borne the burden of historical injustices, cultural marginalisation, and social inequalities,” the Head of RYTHM, Santhi Periasamy, said.

“Their struggles, resilience, and wisdom have often been overlooked. This inaugural convention acknowledged the urgent need to address these challenges and work towards a better future for all.

“The proposed resolutions clearly outline the needs of our indigenous population in these areas,” Santhi added.

A key highlight of the education resolutions included creating a relevant curriculum for the communities focusing on aspects of their daily lives, including health, nutrition, and hygiene, and teachings about spirituality and stewardship.

In the health sphere, one of the recommendations included developing culture-appropriate health programmes and enabling the largely relegated groups to take control of the health needs of their communities.

A critical livelihood resolution emphasised empowering the indigenous through sustainable economic initiatives like skill development programmes, microfinance access, and creating sustainable enterprises that harness the rich cultural heritage of the population.

As crucial reference points for future actions in the areas of human rights and statelessness, the deliberators suggested alluding to reports by the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia and the United Nations Declaration On The Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

The convention also recognised the importance of preserving the land rights of the indigenous. Recommendations were made to strengthen legal protections, enhance consultation processes, and ensure the indigenous have a prominent voice in matters concerning their territories.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia,&nbsp;May 23, 2023 - Sunway University has been awarded the number one Graduate Employability among all universities in&nbsp;Malaysia&nbsp;by Talent bank for a second consecutive year. The University received 6 Stars Employability Rating in 25 different fields of study including Accounting, Actuarial Science, Engineering, Hospitality Management and many more. The recognition provides confidence for school leavers and parents who are considering university options with employability upon graduating in mind.

Established since 2011, Talentbank Group is a mover and shaker of employability ecosystem focused on producing career-ready candidates and helping them with better careers, by connecting them with industry leaders that welcome prime talent. They recently conducted a survey on the preferred recruitment choices of the leading graduate employers such as Coca-Cola, Huawei, Nestle, Petronas, Unilever and many others in&nbsp;Malaysia. The survey gauges the employability rate of graduates from universities all across&nbsp;Malaysia, highlighting Malaysian Universities that have produced the most highly sought-after graduates.

The National Graduate Employability Index (GE Index) is a benchmark used to measure the employability of graduates of higher education establishments in&nbsp;Malaysia. The GE Index research, based on votes cast by employers, focused on some key questions such as employer's opinion on their preferred universities, the number of graduates hired from these universities, and if the employers will continue to hire graduates from the same universities they had previously chosen.

Professor Sibrandes Poppema, President of Sunway University shared, "The combination of research infused knowledge, superb communication and digital skills, the right values and a sustainable development, planetary health and entrepreneurial mindset, supplemented with career preparation activities through all study years,&nbsp;results in Sunway graduates being optimally prepared for employment."

Ben Ho, Chief Executive Officer of Talentbank shared his congratulatory message, "Following a comprehensive evaluation, we applaud the academic programs at Sunway University that have garnered unanimous support from employers, reinforcing its position as one of the most sought-after educational institutions in the region."

The nation's youngest Professor according to the Malaysia Book of Records and the Dean of Sunway Business School, Professor&nbsp;Lim Weng Marc&nbsp;said, "Sunway University's unparalleled success in achieving the No. 1 Graduate Employability ranking for two consecutive years is a shining example of our relentless pursuit of academic distinction, ground-breaking research, and robust industry partnerships. Our exceptional faculty and staff are devoted to equipping our students with the necessary tools to excel in the dynamic global job market, and this noteworthy recognition reflects their dedication and our students' accomplishments."

One of the world's top 2% scientist and currently the Professor at the School of Engineering and Technology, Professor&nbsp;Angela Amphawan&nbsp;went on to add, "The University is committed to fostering real-world experiences through internships, industrial placements, and professional networking opportunities, paving the way for our students' success."

PETALING JAYA, Malaysia,&nbsp;March 31, 2023- In its continuous efforts in delivering affordable, quality education for eager minds and natural talents, SEGi University &amp; Colleges has officially launched the SEGi APEL Centre.

<a href="https://mma.prnasia.com/media2/2045045/corporate_2.jpg?p=publish" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"></a>"SEGi saw an opportunity to offer programmes that are truly accessible to adult learners through APEL," said Stella Lau, Managing Director of SEGi University &amp; Colleges.

"The Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL) has carved a new, stronger-than-ever avenue where we cater specifically to working adults' academic needs – designing programmes that are flexible in terms of time, finances and access. I am proud to share that we offer all three APELs via the newly launched SEGi APEL Centre," said SEGi University &amp; College Managing Director&nbsp;Stella Lau.&nbsp;

Being a leading group of higher education institutions in&nbsp;Malaysia&nbsp;with 46 years of achieved excellence, SEGi has witnessed the evolution in the job market due to globalisation and digitalisation, more so in the present-day 'economic recovery' phase post-COVID-19.&nbsp;

Lau shared that the job market is even more competitive now. "The Department of Statistics Malaysia recently highlighted that the country's unemployment rate has increased from 4.8% in 2021 to 5.4% in 2022. While this has decreased slightly to 4.9% in the first quarter of 2023, many in the current workforce struggle to keep their jobs.&nbsp;

We discovered that many working adults have given up on furthering their studies due to two major 'roadblocks' – lack of time, and insufficient prior qualifications. SEGi saw an opportunity to offer programmes that are truly accessible to adult learners through APEL," said Lau.

APEL was rolled out by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) in 2011, recognising prior learning and working experiences as an alternative means to obtain higher education qualifications. APEL can help working adults bridge the experience-qualifications gap in the job market as it comes in three formats, each packed with flexibility, convenience, and other benefits, so they do not need to start their studies from scratch.&nbsp;

APEL.A provides access for those who did not meet the traditional entry requirement to a programme. In addition to saving costs, APEL.A reduces redundancy in their learning process to obtain a Master's degree of their choice.&nbsp;

APEL.C suits busy working adults who cannot commit to a full-fledged degree programme, enabling them to use prior work experience to enter a specific course or module relevant to their career. By streamlining their study – upskilling in critical areas and trimming away any redundancy – these working adults can complete the programme in a shorter period without sacrificing their work or personal commitments.

Meanwhile, APEL.Q enables kindergarten teachers to use their work experience to convert into a Diploma in Early Childhood Education or a Degree in Education. This allows them to formalise their work experience and gain the necessary qualifications to advance their careers.

Further, APEL has inspired the expansion of SEGi's Adult Learning Programme covering various fields of study including Business, Engineering, IT, Hospitality and Education. Lau said: "SEGi's adult learners will have the opportunity to be mentored by academics who are industry experts. You can fully optimise your learning experience, #ReachHigher in your KPIs, deliverables, and business objectives."
