Outsiders in IMU

Please be informed that the proper procedure for inviting outsiders into IMU is to inform the SRC with the
- Name,
- IC/Passport number
- Telephone number of the individual(s).


The SRC will then issue two letters, one to be given to Mr. Zul in Admins, and one for the guards. The details need to be submitted at least 2 days before the letters are needed. This is to ensure that no suspicious individuals enter IMU.

Student Lounge

A number of equipment and facilities provided has been damaged in the past two weeks i.e. the piano stand in LT2, gym equipments as well as the glass of the Hall of Fame cupboard in the Student Lounge.

Miss Aznah from the Students Service Department would like to remind the students to handle the equipment with care as it is costly to keep fixing such items. Kindly handle these equipment in consideration of the next user.

On top of that, students are to inform the SRC immediately if they have discovered any damaged equipment. This is so that we can fix it as soon as possible and remove any dangerous items around that could bring harm to the students.

Monash Music Fest!

Thinking of goin anyway this Saturday? Why not Monash? IMU has been invited to attend Monash's Music Festival this Saturday at 12 noon til 12 midnight!

It'll be a great time to foster friendships with our fellow university students in Monash AND there'll be awesome gigs the whole day from local performances as well :)

Secretary Position Available!

The secretary of the incoming council (SRC 09/10), Natasha Ng, has decided to step down due to personal and academic reasons.

If there are any people who would like to step up for the position as well now is the time!

The deadline will be April 22nd (Wednesday) at 9.00 AM.

The potential candidates will have to go through a week of apprenticeship (27th to 30th May) and an executive interview.

This is so the process can be dealt with before the inauguration (May 4th).Please do note that the position of the secretary is essentially the "right hand" of the president. If there are no contestants we will appoint Nirmal as the secretary immediately on Wednesday itself.

Think about it!! Its a very good opportunity....:)

Inter religious forum

Hi all, there'll be an inter religious forum tomorrow (Wednesday) at 11am in LT2.

There will be a speaker from each religious society in IMU and they will all be discussing on the topic Science & Religion. Its an awesome opportunity if you're curious or interested in another religion, or you'd just like to hear or learn something new about your own religion.

YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO MISS THIS and guess what? Lunch is provided :)

Important Issues

1. FOOD AND/OR DRINKS are STRICTLY NOT ALLOWED in the Student Lounge (except for plain water). There is an allocated area in the SRC Office for the students to eat. You can always eat in the cafeteria as it is just beside the Student Lounge and is highly convenient. This is to ensure that a clean and comfortable environment is maintained in the Student Lounge.

2. Please SWITCH OFF the air-conditioning and television WHEN NOT IN USE. The Facilities and Management Department is very particular about this issue as it is a great wastage of electricity. Apart from that, the air-conditioning would leak from prolonged use. This could be dangerous especially in the gym as there could be a short-circuit of the equipment there.

It is highly important to follow these simple rules as the Student Lounge is a privilege provided to us. Should we fail to observe these rules, it would be difficult for the SRC to negotiate for further improvements and benefits for the students in the future. The cooperation of every student in this issue is vital.

Arm wrestling competition

As part of our semesterly activities, the IMU Gym & Fitness Club will be holding an Arm Wrestling Competition on the 27th, and if there are enough participants, the 28th of April.

Between 60kg and 80kg
Above 80kg


And two weight classes for women (variable)
Below 55kg
Above 55kg


For each category there is a prize of 50RM for the ultimate winner. The competition will be a knockout, tournament based style-esque competition and everyone (except lecturers) is invited to join!

The joining fee for the competition will be 5RM per person, though members of the club are entitled to a 2RM discount to reduce the price to 3RM.

We will be setting up a table in the atrium from the 20th of April to the 24th of April for anyone interested in the competition, where we can answer any questions, and sign up anyone who is interested in joining this highly lucrative competition.

Please be informed that currently all the first aid kits of SAD/SRC are being kept in the storeroom of SAD. There are a total of 6 kits in the storeroom.

Due to previous incident in which one of the first aid kit was taken by a student from the SRC room without proper recording, there was much confusion with regards to the safe keeping of the first aid kits.

Therefore, until further notice, for students who are interested to loan any of the first aid kits for use, please contact the President of First Aid Club at 0175112308 or at victorwong87@gmail.com.

This notice will hold true until the club has finalised with a proper logging system for the first aid kits.
