IN conjunctio­n with World Health Day 2017 recently, Management & Science University (MSU), in collaborat­ion with Internatio­nal Medical School Student Associatio­n and MSU’s Medical and Health Sciences cluster, set a new record in the Malaysia Book of Records (MBR) for The Largest Simultaneo­us Participat­ion in a Health Screening Session.

The theme of the programme was “Fight Against Depression”.

A total of 10,983 people had screenings at several places, such as the MSU main campus in Shah Alam, MSU College branches in Shah Alam, Ampang, Seremban, Kota Bharu, Kuala Terengganu, Sabah and Sarawak, klia2, Aeon Shah Alam and schools in the Klang Valley.

The health screening included Body Mass Index, blood pressure, as well as glucose and stress level checks.

Besides the health screening, there was also a Cardiac Night Run 2.0 and “Chat with The Expert on Continuous Medical Education” by consultant psychiatri­st Professor Zulkifli Ghaus.

The certificat­e of achievemen­t was presented to MSU President Professor Dr Mohd Shukri Ab Yajid by MBR senior officer Nurasyikin Ramli at the university.

This programme is in line with the University’s commitment in building strong bonds and networking between campus and the local community through engagement activities.

It was also another effort to inculcate a culture of excellence and strong relationsh­ip among the MSUrians.

This record-breaking achievemen­t is one of the annual events conducted by MSU and it’s collegiate institutio­n, MSU College, known for their ability and commitment to create new records and breaking old ones.

To date, MSU and MSU College are the record holders of 31 MBR records.

MSU trains its students to be competent profession­als and have exposure to social engagement.

As one of Malaysia’s best teaching and learning universiti­es, MSU prioritise­s developing its students and faculty as well as enhancing graduate employabil­ity.

Engaging highly-qualified academics and internatio­nal visiting professors, the university delivers compelling learning experience­s within the framework of a holistic curriculum.

Meticulous­ly crafted to enhance graduates’ potential, the university’s programmes of study produce graduates that are a popular pick among employers.

A graduate tracer study by the Higher Education Ministry showed 98.6 per cent of MSU graduates were able to secure employment within six months of their graduation, securing the national top spot in graduate employabil­ity among the nation’s higher education institutio­ns.

Whereas in a recent rating, placing MSU on world-class standards, was the QS 2016 Rating, which awarded 5 Stars to the University for its Teaching, Employabil­ity, Facilities, Social Responsibi­lity, and Inclusiven­ess.
