Thank you everyone

The Centre would like to thank everyone who has taken part and contributed materially or in kind. Also to our sponsors. We would like to thank all the speakers who delivered their talks. To avoid doing injustice to those whom we do not mention, it is best that we do not mention any names lest we miss someone.

The 4th Graduate Month was definitely a success. The month was filled with talks, theses writing and proof reading activities, student poster and faculty/centre booth competitions, and various other events.

One snag though. Unfortunately, the Supervision Workshop was cancelled at the eleventh hour due to unforseen circumstances. Apart from that glitch, everything went well.

Oh yes, we also had a last minute change in the guest of honour and managed to pull off a good closing ceremony and dinner with the presence of Y.Bhg. Prof. Datuk Dr. Mohd. Noh bin Dalimin. He was sporting enough to even sing two songs during the dinner. Thank you Datuk Mohd. Noh.

We look forward to putting a good show next year and welcome all comments to improve the event.

Closing Ceremony and Graduate Awards Night

Y.Bhg. Prof. Datuk Dr. Mohd. Noh bin Dalimin was the guest of honour during the memorable event. The event started off with a doa' followed by the welcoming address by the Chairperson of the Graduate Month 2008, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Maizam Alias.

The guests were treated to a sumptious dinner of laksa johor and corn rice.

Mr. Baithan and the university's combo entertained the guests with renditions of evergreen and new songs. Datuk Dr. Mohd. Noh wooed the guests with his "Getaran Jiwa" and "Biar Bulan Bicara". He was backed by the dean of the Centre on the saxophone.

The winners for the night were the graduate students and their supervisers for whom the event was held. They went away with prizes and awards. The awards and prizes were given away by the guest of honour.

Datuk Mohd. Noh, a Parit Raja local, gave a speech and officially closed the Month. He was very impressed with the efforts put in by the Centre and all the staff and students who lent a hand to make the Graduate Month a success.

Update on Graduate Night 2008

The guest of honour, Y. Bhg. Dato' Mohd Nadzmi bin Mohd Salleh, will not be able to make it to the function tonight because of a national function. He has apologised for the cancellation.

However, in his place, the former Vice-Chancellor of Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Y.Bhg. Prof. Dr. Mohd. Noh bin Dalimin, was willing to accept our invitation at the eleventh hour.

We are very grateful to him for giving his time to officiate the closing ceremony and giving away the awards.
