Charting a Path Towards Excellence and Transformation at UiTM Sarawak

As we stand at the threshold of an exciting era, I extend this message to the entire UiTM Sarawak community, emphasising our transformative theme for 2025: “Continuing the Excellence of UiTM Sarawak.” This theme reflects our commitment to elevate our standards within the university and extend our reach on state, national, and international levels, fostering an ecosystem that nurtures excellence among our academics, administrators, support staff, students, and alumni. In this journey towards excellence, we aim to transform our institution into a leader in research, publications, and consulting while preparing our students holistically to possess a global mindset. It is imperative that our students graduate not only with knowledge but also with the skills and experiences necessary to navigate the complexities of the global landscape. Our goal is to achieve international recognition for our contributions and achievements, marking UiTM Sarawak as a distinguished name in higher education. Essential to this vision is the Quintuple Helix engagement model, which embodies our strategy of smart partnerships with Academia, Government, Industry, Community, and the Environment. These partnerships will enrich our academic programs and research initiatives, promoting collaborative ventures that stimulate innovative solutions to societal challenges. The future of higher education also increasingly leans towards hybrid and online modalities, allowing us to adapt to changing educational landscapes. We must embrace these methodologies to expand our reach and enhance learning opportunities. By 2028, we aim to increase the proportion of PhD holders within our academic community to 50%. This increase will empower our faculty to engage more deeply in research and teaching excellence. Moreover, we target an enrollment of 12,000 students, focusing on developing robust undergraduate and postgraduate programs while promoting lifelong learning and executive education. Flexible pathways such as credit transfers and inbound/outbound attachment programs with top-ranked universities and companies will create invaluable opportunities for our students, enhancing their educational experience and employability. To further bolster the quality of our educational offerings, we will enhance our Centre of Professional & Executive Education. This centre will provide enhanced executive education and short courses, leading to certification from industries, professional bodies, and international universities. We will also take significant steps to co-organise reputable international conferences with strategic partners, facilitating knowledge exchange among top-tier institutions and professional entities. Encouraging entrepreneurship among our students and graduates is a key focus area. By bolstering the role of our Career Development Centre and Entrepreneurship Centre, we aim to create an environment where aspiring entrepreneurs can flourish. This initiative is essential for individual success and the economic vitality of our state and nation. Improving our MyRA rating is another critical goal. Elevating our research profile will contribute significantly to our strategic positioning. We will engage more proactively with industries through our campus-based initiatives, alumni networks, government collaborations, and community projects, creating a dynamic environment ripe for innovation and growth. Enhancing our financial sustainability is paramount for realising our vision. We will actively explore avenues such as endowment funds, wakaf, zakat, and infaq to engage various stakeholders in supporting our initiatives. Additionally, introducing a comprehensive ecosystem of grants, incentives, and rewards for research and publications will incentivise excellence across all levels of the institution. We will intensify our collaborative teaching efforts, engaging industry experts and professionals from national and international arenas through blended and hybrid learning approaches. This strategy will ensure our students benefit from real-world insights and practices, further enriching their educational journeys. Finally, our ambition to achieve global prominence in higher education will be realised by empowering and strengthening our internationalisation activities. This will position UiTM Sarawak as an attractive institution for local and international students, fostering a vibrant academic community embodying diversity and inclusivity. Together, let us embrace the transformative journey towards 2025, fostering an environment of excellence that meets the evolving demands of our society, industry, and global community. I invite each member of the UiTM Sarawak family to contribute actively to this vision as we strive to create a legacy of pride, achievement, and transformative change. Let us move forward with clarity, purpose, and determination, fully confident that the future we build at UiTM Sarawak will inspire future generations.

Alhamdulillah, UiTM Sarawak Branch was honoured to host the Sarawak State STEM Gamification Competition, held on 27 October 2026 at Dewan Jubli, UiTM Sarawak Branch.

Programmes like this are more than just a platform for students to test their knowledge and skills. They also provide an opportunity for our young generation to explore Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) in a more engaging, interactive and enjoyable way.

I believe that every child has unique potential. Through game-based learning and challenges, we can nurture curiosity, encourage creative thinking and build their confidence to explore new ideas. Who knows, this very competition may inspire the scientists, engineers, innovators and future leaders who will contribute to the development of Sarawak and our nation.

On this occasion, on behalf of UiTM Sarawak Branch, I would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation and sincere thanks to Profesor Emeritus Datuk Dr. Khairuddin Abdul Hamid representing YB Dato Sri Roland Sagah Wee Inn, Minister for Education, Innovation and Talent Development Sarawak, for graciously attending and officiating the Closing Ceremony of the Sarawak State STEM Gamification Competition. His presence and support are greatly appreciated in strengthening STEM education and fostering a culture of innovation among the younger generation in Sarawak.

Congratulations to all participants, especially those who emerged as winners. To those who did not win this time, do not be discouraged. The experience gained, the courage to participate and the determination to keep learning are also meaningful achievements in their own right.

I would also like to express my sincere appreciation to the organisers, accompanying teachers, judges and everyone who contributed to the success of this programme. My gratitude also goes to parents and teachers who continue to play an important role in nurturing and supporting the potential of our young people.

May initiatives like this continue to strengthen young people's interest in STEM and open up more opportunities for them to pursue a brighter future, while nurturing a knowledgeable, creative and competitive generation for the progress of Sarawak and Malaysia.

Inspiring curiosity today, building tomorrow's innovators!

Alhamdulillah, I am delighted to have had the opportunity to welcome the Agrobank team for a meaningful engagement to explore potential strategic collaboration with UiTM Sarawak Branch.

As Rector, I firmly believe that a university's strength lies not only in its academic achievements but also in its ability to build meaningful partnerships that create opportunities, support the well-being of its people, and contribute to the socio-economic development of the community.

Our discussions explored several potential areas of collaboration, including financial services, takaful protection for our staff, matching grants for educational and student development programmes, and zakat assistance for eligible asnaf students. These initiatives are particularly meaningful to me because the welfare of our students and staff will always remain among my priorities.

I believe that every student deserves the opportunity to pursue their education with confidence, every staff member deserves to feel valued and protected, and every graduate deserves a fair opportunity to build a successful and meaningful future.

One area that particularly excites me is the potential to utilise UiTM Sarawak's available land for high-value crop cultivation through agricultural entrepreneurship. I see this as an opportunity to transform our university's resources into something that delivers tangible benefits beyond the campus.

With the right planning, expertise, and industry support, this initiative could provide our students with valuable hands-on experience, create additional income opportunities, encourage our graduates and alumni to venture into entrepreneurship, and open new avenues for the surrounding community to participate in sustainable economic activities.

To me, this is what meaningful university–industry collaboration should look like: not merely an exchange of ideas, but a shared commitment to turning opportunities into practical initiatives that improve lives and create lasting value for society.

The engagement brought together representatives from both organisations. Representing UiTM Sarawak were myself; Prof. Ir. Dr. Juferi Idris, Deputy Rector (Research and Industry Linkages); Pn. Lenny Yusrina Bujang Khedif, Office of Industry, Community and Alumni Network (ICAN) Coordinator; Pn. Nur Aziela Aidit, Industry Networking Coordinator (ICAN); and Pn. Aniza Abu Bakar, Deputy Treasurer.

Representing Agrobank were Abdul Khalik bin Abdullah, Regional Director; Mohd Zaidi Sapawi, Head of MicroCredit; Lucy Glemai, Head of Sales & Service, Sarawak; and Ridhwan, Samarahan Branch Manager.

My sincere appreciation goes to the Agrobank team for their willingness to engage with UiTM Sarawak and explore these potential areas of collaboration. I also wish to thank my colleagues for their continued commitment to strengthening our industry networks and identifying opportunities that can benefit our university community.

Insya-Allah, I look forward to seeing these discussions progress into meaningful initiatives that support our students, protect the welfare of our staff, empower our alumni, and contribute to the development of Sarawak.

As we move forward, I remain committed to strengthening UiTM Sarawak's strategic partnerships with industry, government agencies, and other stakeholders. Through these collaborations, we can broaden educational opportunities, nurture future entrepreneurs, and ensure that the university continues to make a positive and lasting contribution to society.

Ultimately, I believe the true success of a university is measured not only by what it achieves, but also by how many lives it touches, how many opportunities it creates, and how meaningfully it contributes to the future of the next generation.

Together, let us turn possibilities into opportunities and opportunities into lasting impact.

Salam UiTM Di Hatiku, Salam Malaysia Madani & Sarawak Maju Makmur.

Alhamdulillah, I had the pleasure of attending the ERASMUS+ and Erasmus Mundus educational programme organised by UiTM Global Sarawak (UGS), bringing together representatives from the Delegation of the European Union to Malaysia, lecturers, students and staff of UiTM Sarawak, as well as representatives from the Sarawak Department of Agriculture, to explore international higher education opportunities.

The two-day programme provided valuable insights into the European Union’s ERASMUS+ Capacity Building in Higher Education (CBHE) projects, Erasmus Mundus scholarships, international academic mobility and research collaboration.

Among the distinguished representatives were Mr. Samuel Wejchert, Political Officer, and Mr. Alexandar Melamed, Political and Communications Officer, from the Delegation of the European Union to Malaysia. Their participation provided an opportunity to learn more about the EU Delegation’s work, Erasmus+ initiatives and anticipated focus areas for the 2027 CBHE projects.

The programme also featured Dr. Ronald Willie Binati, Assistant Professor at UCSI University Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia’s country representative in the Erasmus Mundus Association who shared insights into the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Programme, doctoral scholarships under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), teaching mobility opportunities for academics and Erasmus Mundus Design Measures.

I was honoured to deliver the welcoming address on the second day, highlighting the importance of international academic partnerships in strengthening institutional capacity, broadening educational opportunities and preparing our graduates to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world.

I am particularly proud that UiTM Sarawak is a partner in seven ERASMUS+ Capacity Building in Higher Education project consortia, connecting the university with 71 institutions across Europe and Asia. These collaborations reflect our commitment to knowledge exchange, educational innovation and developing solutions that address the evolving needs of industry and society.

UiTM Sarawak has also secured participation in the WATERDEAL collaborative research and innovation project under the European Commission’s Horizon Europe Framework Programme, as well as the ERASMUS+ International Credit Mobility Programme with Sapienza University of Rome for 2026–2029, offering mobility opportunities for one staff member and one student.

Following the conclusion of the sharing programme, I was pleased to receive Mr. Alexandar Melamed for a courtesy visit to my office. The visit provided a further opportunity to engage with the Delegation of the European Union to Malaysia and strengthen our connections towards potential future collaborations.

I firmly believe that international partnerships must go beyond institutional connections and translate into meaningful opportunities for our lecturers, students and staff. Through sustained engagement with global partners, we can enhance academic excellence, expand international exposure and support Sarawak’s aspirations for a digital and green economy.

My appreciation goes to UiTM Global Sarawak, the organising committee led by Dr. Wan Juliana Emeih Wahed, Associate Professor Dr. Margaret Chan and Professor Dr. Ling Siew Eng, as well as all speakers, participants and partners who contributed to the success of this programme.

I look forward to seeing these engagements develop into stronger partnerships and greater opportunities for the UiTM Sarawak community.

Together, let us strengthen global connections, empower our people and create opportunities beyond borders.

Alhamdulillah, I am delighted to have joined the UiTM Sarawak community in making INFOHUNT 2026, held on 22 October 2026, a meaningful and memorable occasion.

To me, INFOHUNT is more than just a clue-hunting activity. It is an opportunity for us to learn through experience, sharpen our critical thinking skills, enhance communication and strengthen teamwork.

Sometimes, the most valuable lessons do not take place only in lecture halls or meeting rooms, but also when we work together, exchange ideas and find solutions as a team. These are among the values we hope to nurture through programmes like this. Even more importantly, INFOHUNT brings together staff, students, alumni and strategic partners in a relaxed atmosphere filled with camaraderie and a shared sense of belonging.

My heartfelt congratulations and sincere appreciation go to my wife, Datin Siti Nur Aisyah binti Jaafar @ Abdullah, Chairperson of Persatuan Wanita UiTM Sarawak (PEWANI) UiTM Sarawak, for her leadership and commitment in making this programme a success. My appreciation also goes to Puan Affidah Morni, Programme Director, for her dedication in coordinating INFOHUNT 2026, and Encik Farizan Jamil, President of KEKiTA UiTM SARAWAK, for his cooperation and support. May your efforts and contributions inspire more meaningful and beneficial programmes for our university community.

Special thanks are also extended to the KWSP @ Employees Provident Fund (EPF) Kuching Region, our strategic partner, for its generous contribution towards the implementation of this programme. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to MITSA, Nando’s and Korbi Grill for their sponsorship and support.

Initiatives such as the EPF Pocket Talk and the EPF information booth are equally valuable in helping our university community improve their financial literacy and gain a better understanding of EPF savings schemes, benefits and services.

To all participants, I encourage you not only to focus on finding clues and completing the challenges, but also to enjoy every moment of this experience. Compete in good spirit, support one another, and always prioritise safety, integrity and sportsmanship.

Remember, true victory is not simply about who finds the clues the fastest, but about the knowledge gained, friendships strengthened and memories created along the way.

May INFOHUNT 2026 continue to serve as a platform to strengthen relationships, nurture a sense of belonging and reinforce the bonds that unite us as one big UiTM Sarawak family.
Congratulations and thank you to everyone involved. May we continue to organise more meaningful and impactful programmes together in the future!

Salam UiTM Di Hatiku, Salam Malaysia Madani & Sarawakku Sayang.

Syukur alhamdulillah, saya berasa amat bangga dapat berjuang bersama 20 orang rakan pemain golf UiTM sehingga pasukan kami berjaya dinobatkan sebagai Juara Keseluruhan Kejohanan Golf Universiti Awam Malaysia Ke-53 bagi tahun 2026. Kejohanan yang penuh prestij ini telah berlangsung dengan jayanya pada 20 dan 21 Oktober 2026.

Edisi kali ini merekodkan jumlah penyertaan yang menggalakkan dengan 276 orang pemain secara keseluruhan di tiga buah lokasi berasingan. Bagi kategori VIP & Jemputan yang berlangsung di Kelab Golf Diraja Perak (Royal Perak Golf Club), ia melibatkan saingan dalam kalangan 103 orang pemain. Sementara itu, 105 orang pemain bagi kategori Gross telah berentap di Meru Valley Golf Resort, manakala Kelab Golf Kinta menjadi medan cabaran bagi 68 orang pemain di bawah kategori Nett.

Selaku peserta, saya mendapati penganjuran kejohanan ini amat bermakna kerana ia turut diserikan dengan kehadiran barisan kepimpinan utama institusi pengajian tinggi. Penglibatan Naib Canselor, Rektor, Timbalan Naib Canselor, Pendaftar, serta wakil Lembaga Pengarah Universiti (LPU) secara tidak langsung menjadikan kejohanan ini sebagai sebuah platform strategik. Ia membuka ruang untuk kami memperkukuh hubungan profesional, membina jaringan kerjasama, dan menyemarakkan semangat kesukanan dalam kalangan warga kepimpinan universiti awam di Malaysia.

Kemenangan ini membuktikan kecemerlangan dan konsistensi pasukan golf UiTM yang berjaya mempertahankan kejuaraan, setelah kami turut bergelar Juara Keseluruhan sebanyak 5 kali sejak tahun 2019. Sekalung tahniah diucapkan kepada semua rakan sepasukan atas dedikasi, semangat juang, dan daya saing tinggi yang telah dipamerkan demi mengharumkan nama universiti.

Bagi saya, debat bukan sekadar medan untuk menentukan siapa yang menang atau kalah. Sebaliknya, debat merupakan ruang pembelajaran yang membentuk mahasiswa agar mampu berfikir secara kritis, menilai sesuatu isu daripada pelbagai perspektif, membezakan fakta daripada andaian serta menyampaikan pandangan dengan matang dan berhemah.

Namun begitu, cabaran sebenar bukan hanya untuk mencapai kemenangan, tetapi bagaimana UiTM Cawangan Sarawak dapat mengekalkan mutu dan kecemerlangan pendebatnya secara berterusan. Kejayaan mahasiswa kita meraih pelbagai kejuaraan debat di peringkat negeri dan kebangsaan sejak kebelakangan ini merupakan satu pencapaian yang membanggakan. Akan tetapi, kecemerlangan yang telah dicapai perlu disusuli dengan usaha berterusan untuk memperkukuh latihan, mencungkil bakat baharu dan melahirkan pelapis yang mampu membawa nama universiti ke tahap yang lebih tinggi.

Saya berharap agar Pertandingan Debat Piala Rektor terus menjadi platform penting dalam membina kesinambungan kecemerlangan ini. Kita bukan sahaja mahu melahirkan pendebat yang mampu memenangi pertandingan, tetapi juga mahasiswa yang mempunyai kematangan intelektual, keyakinan diri, disiplin serta keupayaan berkomunikasi dengan berkesan. Kejayaan hari ini seharusnya menjadi asas untuk kita terus melangkah lebih jauh pada masa hadapan.

Setinggi-tinggi penghargaan saya rakamkan kepada Kelab Debat dan English Debate Club UiTM Cawangan Sarawak, Bahagian Hal Ehwal Pelajar, barisan hakim, urus setia, sukarelawan serta semua pihak yang telah menyumbang tenaga dan komitmen dalam menjayakan pertandingan ini.

Tahniah kepada semua pemenang dan syabas kepada setiap peserta yang telah memberikan usaha terbaik sepanjang pertandingan. Semoga pengalaman ini menjadi pemangkin kepada pembinaan generasi mahasiswa yang berfikiran kritis, berani menyuarakan pandangan dan sentiasa menghormati perbezaan pendapat.

Kecemerlangan bukan sekadar tentang kejayaan yang telah diraih, tetapi tentang keupayaan kita mengekalkannya dan melahirkan generasi seterusnya yang mampu meneruskan legasi tersebut

Alhamdulillah, this afternoon marked the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Sarawak Branch and Universitas Panca Bhakti (UPB), Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Republic of Indonesia, at Bilik Perdana, UiTM Sarawak Campus in Samarahan.

The ceremony was attended by Dr. Purwanto, S.H., M.Hum., Rector of Universitas Panca Bhakti, together with Dr. Reny Dwi Widiastuti, Vice Rector II of UPB; Dr. Donna Youlla, Head of the UPB International Office and Cooperation; Associate Professor Dr. Abdul Rahman Saili, MoU Coordinator; Dr. Wan Juliana Emeih Wahed, UiTM Global Sarawak (UGS) Coordinator; and members of the UiTM Sarawak community.

This MoU represents a strategic step towards strengthening academic relations and international collaboration between two higher education institutions that share a common regional heritage in the island of Borneo. It also opens up broader opportunities for joint research aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), student and staff mobility, teaching and learning innovation, as well as the organisation of international conferences and symposia.

I believe that several high-impact initiatives could emerge from this collaboration, including cross-border research on environmental sustainability, rural community development, and the Sarawak–West Kalimantan border trade economy. In addition, this partnership encompasses student exchange programmes, academic mobility, visiting lecturers, and joint supervision of postgraduate students, all of which can broaden international exposure and enhance the academic quality of both institutions.

Furthermore, this collaboration has the potential to be strengthened through hybrid and online collaborative learning initiatives, including Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL), as well as the organisation of biennial international conferences focusing on regional sustainability in Borneo.

As an early demonstration of the partnership already established, UPB previously sent 11 students to participate in the Come Discover Bumi Kenyalang 2026 programme organised by UiTM Sarawak. This initiative reflects our shared commitment to strengthening knowledge exchange, cross-cultural experiences, and the development of globally minded graduates.

The signing of this MoU goes beyond formalising a mutual understanding; it serves as a catalyst for implementing concrete, impactful, and sustainable programmes. This initiative also supports UiTM's aspiration to become a globally competitive institution without compromising its cultural roots, values, and local identity, in line with the spirit of Globally Renowned, Locally Rooted.

I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to the organising committee under UGS, as well as Associate Professor Dr. Abdul Rahman Saili, for their commitment and efforts in making this initiative a success.

May this strategic partnership continue to grow through the implementation of effective programmes that bring meaningful benefits to both university communities, society, and regional development.

Alhamdulillah, I had the privilege of participating in a strategic discussion regarding the UiTM Human-First AI University initiative, held on October 14 at the Chancellery in Shah Alam. The session was led by Dr. Abu Hassan Ismail, founder of Awantec. It was an honor to be joined by distinguished university leadership, including Pro-Chancellor Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Idris Jusoh, Vice-Chancellor Prof. Datuk Ts. Dr. Shahrin Sahib @ Sahibuddin, and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) Prof. Dr. Yamin Yasin, alongside respective Rectors and Deans.

The Human-First AI University is a pioneering higher education model that places human agency, ethics, and holistic development at the center of AI integration. It utilizes AI as an instrument to expand human capabilities rather than replace them. This approach is driven by a deliberate philosophy of "High Tech, High Touch," where technical excellence is carefully balanced with human-centered thinking. Ultimately, this model redefines how universities teach, research, and operate—moving beyond the simple adoption of "AI-first" tools toward a profound transformation of institutional purpose and identity.

In this reimagined framework, education becomes highly collaborative. Students as Co-Creators: Learners transition from passive recipients of information into active co-designers and co-builders of their educational journeys. Faculty as Mentors: The educator's role shifts from standard content delivery to mentorship, ethical guidance, and judgment. Faculty will focus on modeling discernment, inspiring creativity, and building trust, prioritizing human formation over simple information transfer. Integrated Partnerships: Industry and community partners will collaborate closely on experiential learning, capstone projects, and real-world problem-solving to ensure graduates are thoroughly prepared for an AI-augmented workforce.

In essence, the UiTM Human-First AI University initiative does not simply append AI to an existing academic structure. It reimagines the university itself around a core principle: technology must elevate human potential, and the most vital lessons an institution can impart are those that AI inherently cannot replicate.
