Summary of Outcome of Meeting with FMD

Dear all,

Here, i would like to summarize the outcome of the meeting between SRC and FMD (Facilities Management Division).

1. Lightings

- for basketball court, SRC need to refer to the sports unit for further action.

- 2 more spotlight application for main field and Plaza Siswa was approved and should be done after midterm break in March!

- The spotlight will be open consistently.

2. Shaded paths

Problem = lack of shaded path

- FMD confirmed to be placed from Hostel to CITS.

- Hostel to CLC and FSER to library will be taken into consideration due to budget constraint, as well as design(safety) constraint.

3. Elevators

- Problem = Slow and inefficient lifts around the campus

- The problem with invertors of the lift had been rectified by FMD. Some of the lift are a bit slow because it had been designed such speed purposely,to take care of disabled person (OKU).

4. MMU Mosque

- Request made to put signage to differentiate male and female section had been approved.

- Leakage in roof will be inspected.

- Piping issues at the toilet will be rectified.

5. Insufficient power supply at Mosque Square

- FMD already planning a new distribution board in Mosque Square. It will be more stable and will not really affect other supply in CLC.

6. Security Field

- Clarified that it is actually a hockey field, with an archery ground beside it. Place filled with rock is actually Archery training ground and is not meant for football.

7. Hostel

- Birds dropping smell has greatly REDUCED!

- There is still smell (less) as there are still birds around. The cleaners will clean the hostel more often during PEAK SEASON for birds.

8. Tables and Partitions

- FMD will clarify this matter on bulletin as it is unclear on who will keep tables, partitions and chairs back after events.It is advisable for everyone to take care of the facilities provided for clubs and societies.

9. CLC Male Toilet - Privacy Issue

- Certain toilets (squatting) in CLC has no elevated toilet bowl. This makes the bowl level with the gap of the bottom of the door. It makes it visible when business is done.

- FMD will personally inspect.

10. Refurbishment and repairing work for Astaka.

- The chair and the condition of Astaka will be improve before April.

11. SRC and FMD agreed to collaborate for inspection and patrol together around campus frequently based on agreed schedule, to make sure all the facilities for academic and for clubs and societies are under good condition as well as well maintained.

These are the brief summary of what was discussed and the feeedback from FMD. Special thanks to FMD upper management for spending their time with us to discuss about the student's complaint and to improve MMU facilities,even with their tight working schedule.

We will update on these issues from time to time.
