UniMAP to postpone final exam due to floods

KANGAR: Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) has agreed to reschedule its students' final examination which is supposed to start tomorrow to another date due to the flood situation.
Its deputy vice-chancellor (Academic and International), Prof Datuk Dr Zul Azhar Zahid Jamal said the decision to postpone the examination was made because many of its students who had returned to their homes in the East Coast states were still stranded due to the floods.
"We will hold the examination when the situation has returned to normal," he said in a statement, here, today.
"They just need to focus on their safety and their families back home, and not worry about the rescheduled final exam," he added.
Floods have hit the East Coast and some other states in the peninsula, causing tens of thousands of victims to be evacuated over the last few days.
Zul Azhar said UniMAP students stranded due to the floods were advised to contact its flood operations room at 04-9797777 to provide personal details and current status, or the Security Department at 04-979 8181/8571 or Students Representative Council's (MPP) Welfare exco member (Hafizan) at 017-3329655. – Bernama
