Serve the nation, Queen tells MSU grads
SHAH ALAM: The Raja Permaisuri Agong, Tuanku Haminah Hamidun, has called on the pioneer batch of Management and Science University (MSU) medical graduates to serve the nation by helping to alleviate the shortage of doctors in the country.
She also urged all 60 Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery degree graduates to serve the community professionally.
“I am proud indeed that today MSU has succeeded in producing its first batch of medical graduates with the International Medical School (IMS) in Bangalore, India,” said Tuanku Haminah Hamidun, the chancellor of MSU, at the university’s 10th convocation here yesterday.
“I am urging all graduates to reciprocate the good work of the university in any way so MSU can realise its vision as an excellent university.”
Meanwhile, MSU president Datuk Dr Mohd Shukri Ab Yajid said MSU medical students were now given the option of completing the five-year course locally or at IMS in Bangalore or in both countries, as MSU had received its accreditation from the Malaysian Medical Council for its local programme.
He also said the MSU Hospital, which would begin operations in 2013, would establish MSU as a premier medical study centre on par with existing local and foreign universities.
At yesterday’s convocation, 674 graduates received their diplomas and degrees in 37 fields of study from tuanku haminah hamidun. — Bernama
