The session was moderated by Assoc. Prof. Ts. Dr. Izuddin Fahmy Abu, the Director of UniKL Campus Lifestyle Department, who commented on the constructive nature of the discussions that transpired during the engagement.

One of the central issues raised by the SRC during the session was related to pressing concerns and the need for enhancements.

The PEC demonstrated a keen interest in understanding the challenges faced by the SRC, particularly in the realm of finances.

According to Assoc. Prof. Ts. Dr. Izuddin Fahmy, UniKL’s top management pledged to address these concerns proactively, emphasising their commitment to improving existing processes and mechanisms.

In response to the SRC’s concerns, UniKL is gearing up for a comprehensive policy review with the aim of streamlining and enhancing the process flow.

The engagement session was conducted in conjunction with the Skill Enhancement: Event Protocol Workshop 2023, which took place from August 26th to 27th.
