USM Is Monitoring The Global Spread Of The COVID-19

The University is monitoring the global spread of the COVID-19. The coronavirus COVID-19 which originated in Wuhan, China has caused outbreaks of respiratory disease in numerous countries, including Malaysia. At this time, there are no confirmed cases of novel coronavirus on any USM campus. University leaders are committed to ensuring the health and safety of the students, faculty, and staff. They are working as quickly as possible to respond to all issues. 

The symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, cough, and shortness of breath. Put distance between yourself and other people if COVID-19 is spreading in your community.

You can reduce your risk of COVID-19 by taking the following precautions: 

1. Avoid close contact with people who are unwell or showing symptoms of illness.  
2. Observe good personal hygiene and do not share personal items.
3. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. (e.g. before handling food or eating, after going to toilet, or when hands are dirtied by respiratory secretions after coughing or sneezing);
4. Wear a mask if you have respiratory symptoms such as a cough or shortness of breath.
5. Cover your mouth with a tissue paper when coughing or sneezing, and dispose the soiled tissue paper in the rubbish bin immediately; and
6. Seek medical attention promptly if you are feeling unwell.

As a precautionary measure 

to keep staff and patients safe.

Hand-washing is remarkably powerful 

at slowing down the spread of viruses.

Social distancing means keeping a safe 
distance at least 1meter from each other

Pre-Retirement Course @ USM 2019

Pre-Retirement Course was held on 22 & 23 September 2019 at Auditorium Kompleks Pentadbiran Hospital. This course was conducted by UNIT PERKHIDMATAN & SARAAN, Jabatan Pendaftar Kampus Kesihatan. This course was designed for us in preparation for our retirement soon.

A tentative course schedule as shown below:

Malaysian civil servants retire at the age of sixty. The era of early retirement is over. Employees at the age of 60 are considered still healthy and in good conditions to keep working. The Malaysian government had increased the retirement age from 58 to 60 years old in 2012, Some retire even earlier on an optional basis or due to health reasons. With the uncertainty of the current economy and the increase in the cost of living, many older employees in Malaysia have to continue working despite reaching their official retirement age. 

By the end of the Pre-Retirement Course, we will be able to:

1. Plan the transition from work to retirement. The transition from work to retirement is one of the most demanding during lifespan.  
2. Understand various administrative formalities related to retirement. 
3. Prepare our day to day life after leaving the Organization and maintain quality of life before and after leaving the workforce.
4. The importance of health and fitness during retirement and how we can improve our chances of staying fit and healthy.

Kelab Kopi Radiologi Preparing Bubur Asyura.

Asyura porridge @bubur asyura is thought to resemble closely the first food that being cooked on land after the Great Flood of Nuh. When Prophet Nuh safely landed in his ship after the great flood on the 10th of Muharram. Once safely landed, Prophet Nuh ordered his people to gather whatever food they have to be cooked to cater for everybody.

Kelab Kopi Radiologi had successfully held a programme of preparing bubur asyura on saturday, 6th October 2018 at Azahadi's house, our senior radiographer. Let me thank you first to Azahadi and his family for their kind support and generous to us.

Bubur asyura is a kind of food made with various mixed ingredients in celebration of the Month of Muharram. So the bubur asyura that we prepared for this occasion can be different from one state to another. This Kelantanese style Asyura porridge, made using ingredients like rice, corn, eggs, sugar, brown sugar, spices, green peas, sweet potatoes, coconut milk, garlic, ginger, lemon grass, salt, meat curry powder, kerisik (freshly grated toasted coconut) and fresh meat (cut into small pieces..... boil the meat with some water for 1 hour then shred the meat with your fingers).

How to cook Asyura Porridge - kelantanese style: 

Boil the rice with water in a large cooking pot until the rice begins to swell and add all the ingredients as above. Continue to boil and keep on stirring over medium heat until all the ingredients mashed and the porridge thicken. It took about 8 to 10 hours to be prepared….. to become thick, dark colored texture with spicy taste.

List of participants

We started at 7.00am and finished by 3.00pm, and all member of Kelab Kopi Radiologi were involved in making the event a success. With the aim to strengthen the relationship… we have struggled to work together to provide materials for preparing the bubur asyura.

Presently, making the bubur asyura is part of a kelantanese community ritual during the the month of Muharram. They will contribute either money or the ingredients to make the bubur asyura. The cooked bubur asyura were given to the staff in the department by the next day.
