Directors’ corner: 
Welcome on board the second issue of 
IOES bulletin
Assalamualaikum w.b.t and warm greetings.
Welcome to the 2nd Issue of IOES Bulletin.
In this edition, we would like to share our latest research activities and
achievements by IOES from the month of May to August 2019.
This issue will cover both activities conducted at IOES Main Office in Universiti
Malaya Kuala Lumpur and our Bachok Marine Research Station located in
Kelantan; East coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Several workshops and
conferences were successfully carried out which includes ‘Grand Challenge
Technology Transfer Workshop’ to promote seaweed cultivation, ‘Global Coral
Reef Monitoring Network East Asia Regional Workshop on Regional Data
Analysis of Coral Reef Monitoring in East Asia Region’ which witnessed the
gathering of researchers from 16 countries, and our ‘3rd South China Sea
Conference’ that serves as an international platform to provide opportunities
for scientists and policy-makers to be involved with research activities within
South China Sea while establishing strategic research networks collaboration
in the region.
It is also our pleasure to share with you on the following news. In August 2019,
IOES members were invited to visit 2 research vessels INS Sagardhwani by
Naval Physical and Oceanographic Laboratory, India and Research Vessel
‘Tan Kah Kee’ from China. This opportunity provides mutual exposure to both
research vessels and IOES which also serves as a golden opportunity to
respective IOES researchers and students to explore scientific equipment and
state-of-the-art laboratory facilities while moving forward to venture for
partnership on marine research.
Throughout these spectacular months, we are very honored to be visited by
numerous visitors and collaborators from distinguished universities and
institutions especially from this region. Finally, I would like to take this
opportunity to welcome everyone especially our future collaborators to be
continuously engaged and embarked on an interesting scientific journey with
IOES; one of the Higher Institution Centres of Excellence (HICoE) in Malaysia.

4    Pulse @ FASS
On 20 December 2018, 20 pupils aged 11 and 12 from SK 
Seri Lanang, Banting, visited FASS. 
They were accompanied by their headmaster, Mr. Mohd 
Sazali Jailani, and officials from the Ministry of Education. 
The purpose of the visit was to allow students to view 
campus facilities and learn about the range of academic 
programmes available.
 The visit was part of a long-term programme that has been 
carried out by FASS in the Banting area since the beginning 
of 2017.
A session by YM Dr. Tengku Adeline Adura of the Geography 
Department introduced the pupils to the importance of the 
environment. 
The students were then taken on a campus tour, during 
which they visited the UM Arts Gallery. They also interacted 
with staff from the Department of History, and were shown 
the faculty’s seminar rooms, computer lab, and conference 
room.

In conjunction with International Day for the Elimination of 
Violence Against Women, the Gender Studies Programme 
at FASS organized a series of activities in November and 
December based on the theme ‘Tackling a Culture that 
Condones Sexual Harassment’. 
Events included a flash mob, a workshop, and a forum 
which saw Member of Parliament YB Ramkarpal Singh 
among its panellists. Together, these addressed the problems 
of blaming victims, shaming survivors, and trivializing 
instances of harassment. 
The events were co-organized by Persatuan Kakitangan 
Universiti Malaya (PKAUM), Pergerakan Tenaga Akademik 
Malaysia (GERAK), several student groups and NGOs.

Visit to the most expensive ‘TOILET’ at the Universiti Malaya 
Even we understand meaning of iconic buildings always related to a city; for us at the 
University of Malaya ‘iconic’ is also related to the history and something to be seen by 
people. The University of Malaya most iconic ‘TOILET’ or washroom is that; historical, 
something to be seen and expensive.  
This so called ‘TOILET’ was not an ordinary toilet. A notable legacy is that of a building size 
mural showing a remarkable sequence of athletic figures from Rugby to Badmintan, 
Taekwondo and Handball as well as Soccer by the artist Ibrahim Hussein commissioned in 
the 70s by the then University Vice Chancellor Royal Professor Ungku Abdul Aziz to 
commemorate the university’s contribution to the nation. In 2009 the University of Malaya 
management team decided to restore and conserve the building as well as the mural to its 
glory.  
Today, the MURAL of IBRAHIM HUSSEIN is not only just an old toilet and changing room for 
students. It has become an iconic building that holds the history and a story of an artist as 
well as his creation.  
 
 
 
 
The University of Malaya Art Gallery (UMAG)
