Majid<\/strong><br \/>\nBANGI, 3 Feb 2014 \u2013 A Professor at the Law Faculty Datin Noor Aziah Hj Mohd Awal, has been appointed the new Deputy Vice Chancellor (Students and Alumni Affairs) (TNC HEPA) of The National University of Malaysia (UKM).<\/p>\n<p>She took over from Prof Dato\u2019 Ir Dr Othman A. Karim whose tenure \u00a0as the TNC HEPA concluded on the 31<sup>st<\/sup> of January 2014.<\/p>\n<p>Vice Chancellor, Prof Datuk Noor Azlan Ghazali handed over her duties at the Meeting Room of the Chancellery Building here today, as Prof Dato\u2019 Othman was unable to attend the ceremony due to the fact that he was on leave abroad at the time. Prof Datuk Noor Azlan thanked Prof Dato\u2019 Ir Dr Othman for his services during his time as TNC HEPA, and wished him well in his future endeavours.<\/p>\n<p>Prof Datuk Noor Azlan welcomed Prof Datin Noor Aziah to the Chancellery and to her new post saying that dealing with students is an important part of any university believing that Prof Datin Noor Aziah is capable in handling the challenges she would face.<\/p>\n<p>He said students are important in the context of making UKM better, because when they graduate, they carry the name and flag of UKM. \u201cWe are a Research University, which makes our responsibilities even bigger. Being an RU changes the structure of the management and the students.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhatever decision and action they take will reflect upon us \u2013 whether good or bad. So let us all give support and a helping hand to our new TNC HEPA in her new post, to ensure our students and our university\u2019s name shine,\u201d Prof Noor Azlan said.<\/p>\n<p>Prof Datin Noor Aziah has been a Principal of the Dato Onn Residential College (KDO) for the last eight years and credits her time there as one of the reasons she will be better equipped to handle her new duties, Prof Noor Azlan said.<\/p>\n<p>Prof Noor Aziah in her response said she had some experience working with and handling students on a daily basis as principal of KDO.<\/p>\n<p>Helping and guiding the students to manage their activities, while building character, soft-skills and polishing talent were some of the responsibilities she undertook. \u201cThe only difference is that I will be handling the entire student body of UKM instead of just the 600 at KDO,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She thanked both the Vice Chancellor for his confidence in her and her predecessor, Prof Othman for sharing his knowledge and experience as TNC HEPA with her throughout his tenure.<\/p>\n<p>Prof Noor Aziah also credited En Ghazali Mahyudin, a former lecturer of the Faculty of Social Sciences in UKM for bringing her to UKM. She had been a second year Law student at the University of Essex when En Ghazali visited the campus back in 1984.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe told me that the Law Faculty in UKM had just been opened and told me to contact him should I be interested in becoming a lecturer when I finished my studies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a different time back then, a time when UKM was in need of lecturers and I got the job on the same day I came for the interview,\u201d Prof Noor Aziah said.<\/p>\n<p>She also thanked her the Dean of the Law Faculty, Prof Dato&#8217; Dr Aishah Bidin, the Director of the Islam Hadhari Centre, Prof Dato\u2019 Dr Mohd Yusof Hj Othman and her fellow Principals of Residential Colleges who have shared her ups and downs and challenges in being a Principal of a RC.<\/p>\n<p>She also thanked SUKMANITA UKM and the Academic Staff Association (PKAUKM) for giving her the platform to be an active member of UKM in both associations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy only goal when I started in UKM all those years ago was to be a lecturer, to shape, to mould and to polish young minds so that they can become successful and will bring pride to the UKM name. It never crossed my mind that I would one day hold such a high post as a TNC,\u201d Prof Noor Aziah said.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing the love of Pantun (Malay poem) by the previous Vice Chancellor, Prof Tan Sri Dr Sharifah Hapsah Syed Hasan Shahabudin, Prof Noor Aziah, ended her speech with a pantun she wrote for the occasion:<\/p>\n<p>Dari Nilai sampai ke Bangi,<br \/>\nSampai ke Bangi terus ke Universiti,<br \/>\nHajat besar ingin berbakti,<br \/>\nDi UKM tempat menabur bakti<\/p>\n<p>Fakulti Undang-undang tempat mula kerja,<br \/>\nDari tutor hingga Professor,<br \/>\nBanyak pahit manis yang dirasa,<br \/>\nJatuh bangun, berdiri, bergelongsor<\/p>\n<p>Timbalan Dekan pernah disandang,<br \/>\nPenyelaras Matrikulasi juga saya pegang<br \/>\nPelajar digilap menjadi bintang,<br \/>\nMereka berjaya hatiku kembang<\/p>\n<p>Pergi ke hutan mencari rotan,<br \/>\nRotan dianyam sambil makan,<br \/>\nAdat bekerja bertukar jawatan,<br \/>\nRezeki kita Allah tentukan.\u201d<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukm.my\/news\/images\/stories\/Icon\/ukmnewsportal.png\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"modifydate\">LAST UPDATED ON WEDNESDAY, 19 FEBRUARY 2014 11:52<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"leftblock\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WEDNESDAY, 05 FEBRUARY 2014 16:12 ADMINISTRATOR By Nurul Haziqah Abdul Halim Photos By Ikwan Hashim Video by Ruhaizad Abd.
