The normal practice of the library is that they will update the books all the time and not only in certain months. This year library is planning to purchase 7000 books according to the recommendation of faculties.
MMU Melaka Siti Hasmah Digital Library
If there are any student who would like the library to purchase any reference books, they should refer back to their own faculties since the library cannot place the order without the instruction from the faculties.
Thank you.

"... the library cannot place the order without the instruction from the faculties".
Cannot or will not? There's a difference. MMU Library is always coming up with all kinds of excuses. If the SRC didn't know that the library was given funding from government, the library would have increased the library fees this year.
They said that the library fees (RM60) means RM20 per trimester. But the short trimester is only half as long as the long trimester. So the fees for the short trimester should be RM10 only. So the total library fees for a year should RM50.
RM10 might look like a small amount but multiply that to 10,000 students in Melaka campus and you get RM100,000 already. Add cyber campus into this equation and the amount will more than double.
i bet by next year, even the MMU's toilet will be charged RM1 per entry!!
Dear SRC,
as a student,it is our rights to view the financial balance sheet or "penyata kewangan" of mmu for every year?
if there are already one,do publicize ..
this way,we can actually see where and what the money that we paid go and done.
To anon above..SWD will be posting up how the allocation of budget for library being organized later..actually library will respond upon request according to the needs of students,based on the lecturers.Therefore,don't worry,u can tell your lecturers the book u think need to be add up,or you can email us,then we will forward it to the person in charge.
If u realize,behind the library,the place for study already there.So,do utilize it,and dont forget to tell ur fren as well :) hope MMU students will be happy with that.At least,there are something for us to serve...
About the queries regarding the financial statement of MMU..this is a good question..i'll try to get the answer on that.But,from my info,financial information are confidential document,and it will be published publicly if it is required by law,or to the intrested parties such as shareholders.ya,we should have rights to access it.We'll get back to you after final exam-if possible.
Just to inform you that,actually MMU has 2 separate account..1 account is to manage all the payment of fees,and all other payment that paid directly to the MMU management..1 more account is under STF working committee..whereby they will manage all the money related to the STF,sponsorship,clubs budget and etc..that money will not be touch even single cent by Finance department.That all will be handled by STAD,and STF working committee.
So,just for you guys information =)
Latest info. also,Finance department already have 2 separated division,whereby one new division had been created,so called Credit management division,headed by Mr. Adnan.This division will handle all the payment needed from the students, and handle all the matters pertaining to the students issues.
Thanks again for your question,so far the information that i got about MMU performance based on financial statement,our net profit also not too much,not even reaching
RM 1M,after deducting all the depreciation involved.Recently,the salaries of all the staffs and lecturers already being revised,so the expenses for the salaries also increased.Detailed,we'll inform later k. :)
Good luck in ur final exam
