near the end of
the 2nd semester. We
would like to wish all
FYP students and their
supervisors all the best
The recently concluded
research methodology
workshop throughout
March aims to prepare
FYP 1 students to start
research, and to help
FYP 2 students to write
up their studies. The
series of talks and dis-
cussion covering intro-
duction to research,
doing research and
writing up research was
conducted throughout
March. FYP 1 student
will now be well pre-
pared to present their
respective research
proposal in early April.
Meanwhile, FYP 2 stu-
dent are currently ana-
lyzing their data and
writing up a thesis draft
that must be submitted

birds with one stone
requires clever, careful
priority oriented plan-
ning. Branding agenda

quality education. Num-
ber 1 on the list must be
availability of complete
basic education facili-
ties, followed by condu-
cive learning environ-
ment , conducive teach-
ing and working environ-
ment. These are the
core priorities to pro-
mote and maintain the
universitys standing.
The same goes for FIAT,

UMK? haven't heard
before, UMK got en-
g i n e e r i n g / m e d i c a l
c o u r s e s ? ,
entrepreneurial uni-
versity, only business
studies, right?. Some-
time the questions
were from people from
other education insti-
tution be it private orgovernment. Having
been given the tagline
Entrepreneurial Uni-
versity, a much more
creative and entrepre-
neurial approach in
branding itself is highly
needed. It is a high task
to promote a young
university to the com-
munity, especially when
it took years and years
for the bigger names in
tertiary education pro-
vider to be known. It is
high time also UMK
utilize its experts tohelp sell UMK.
unconventional needs
require unconventional
approach. Tagline such
as doing more with
being 1 years old in
April, creative planning
in promoting itself to
the wider community
must be laid out. It takes
great effort to carve and
associate FIAT with qual-
ity education in agro
based industry. It is
hoped that with the
development of the
campus facilities, FIAT
will continue to
strengthen its stance
and promote itself
though quality educa-
tion, and research excel-
lence.
One the 18th of March,
a 4 team delegate from
FIAT lead by Dr. Lee
Seong Wei had a work-
ing visit at World Fish
Center, Batu Maung

was attended to by Dr.
Michael Phillips. After a

to government breeding policy.
The institute serves the purpose
of an excellent training institute
for veterinary and animal science
professionals. . The group
strongly feels that graduate
students and researchers from
FIAT can utilise the IBVK
facilities. Not only that, the
center can also cater to students
who are planning to do industrial
training in this institute.
A group of 47 students of SBH2
programme led by Dr. Md. Ruhul
Amin and En Mohd Hafiz
Jamaludin on 28th of March,
made a visit to National Institute
of Veterinary Biodiversity (IBVK)
and they were given an

a central institute for domestic
ruminant animal biotechnology
located in Jerantut, Pahang, sits
on 161.4 hactares of land. IBVK
purviews breeding bull selection,
semen production from bull and
buck, computer assisted
evaluation of semen, cryo-
preservation of semen, estrus
synchronization by CIDR, MOET,
IVF, embryo spliting, karyotyping,
pregnancy diagnosis by
ultrasound technique,
insemination of cows and does,
intra-uterine insemination in does
and many other allied
reproductive technologies. The
institute is responsible for
importing semen from abroad.
Currently the institute is
importing Charolais (from Canada

With the availablilty of a cryobank
for semen, the institute not only

second speaker, Mr. Firdaus, an
ex-engineer started his life as a
full time entrepreneur 7 years
ago. Now at the age of 32, he
not only produces thousand of
birds per cycle, his experience in
intensive closed poultry rearing
has got other poultry entrepre-
neurs and also would be entre-preneurs to seek his advice on
building such closed

hour talk, with the
first part talking on
the technical aspect
for an intensive poul-
try closed system on
the material and re-

We would like to congratulate Mrs. Nurhidayah
Hamzah and here husband for their beautiful
baby girl who was born on the 28th of March at
Universiti Sains Malaysia Hospital (HUSM), Ku-
bang Kerian. Although the baby was premature,
both baby and mother are in the good of health.
Everyone at FIAT pray for their quick recovery.
A creative man is mo-
tivated by the desire
to achieve, not by the
desire to beat others
and at play. With university life
being very hectic, what better
way to end March with a talk on
managing stress by Prof. S. M.
Rezaul Karim. This goes to show,
FIAT lecturers can very reallyversatile, and know more than
just what is taught in lectures.
Kudos to everyone who were
involved in such activities!
