Every week, we can see magnitude of new
posters of multiple events, talks and competitions on
walls, pillars and boards all over our campus. It has
been a new phenomenon in our university for every
semester that students in various organizations and
groups conduct activities for particular purpose and
objectives. In a way, it is something to be proud of
because it shows that we are active and moving awayfrom typical bookworm syndrome of other
universities. The bookworm syndrome is a condition
where student are too focus on academic endeavours
and neglecting social involvement in the community
through co-curricular activities. In an international
university like us, the increasing number of student
activities is one of the yardsticks to measure the
involvement and technical competency among its
students.
Actually, looking deeply into the situation,
things are not always as what they seem. Some of theevents never truly achieve their purpose but
organized just for the sake of organizing them for
yearly report. This problem is much related to dor-
mant clubs and associations. To prevent their clubs
from being terminated, club members have to
conduct activities which sadly do not achieve any
higher purpose. The second issue is quite ironic. Many
events do not simply meaning many students are
involved. It is actually the same students who kept
involving in one event after another due to their
experience and expertise. This in some way
inhibit new apprentice to grow as well asinternational students to get involved.
The third contention is about the
impact of events on the target group. A
successful event is not measured by less
problem mentioned during post-mortem,
or the number of participants but the
ability of the program to produce desired
outcome as per mentioned in the objective.
For example, and exhibition conducted to
bring awareness about career must really
provide convincing and sufficient exhibit
materials for students. The exhibition must
not be having a lot of visitors just because
of free gifts given but because the
Highlights
2
exhibition in really informational to others. The problem in
many events conducted, there was no review of whether
the objectives stated in the proposal are achieved or not.
The organizers are just satisfied because the event is al-
ready over.
Therefore, it is vital for us to look into the quality of
events which is organized to make sure the objective of theevents is achieved successfully and it benefits the students
and also the university. As there is a famous quotation from
Mahatma Gandhi; It is the quality of our work which will
please God not the quantity. An excellent well-rounded
team of students will be able to produce a quality event.
So, it is important for students to be dedicated, competent,
and versatile to have a quality event which will bring an
impact to the university but also the society.
According to the Project Manager of EMS2010,
NurFarahin Mahadi (3rd
year 1st
Semester CE), a quality
event is an event which goes precisely with the goal of theevent which is being organize. There is no worth of
organizing manifold events and at the end of the day we
did not achieve the goal of it. Besides that, Mohammad
Taufik b Ibrahim (President MAKNA) gave an analogy which
it is better to have a fresh apple rather than a big rotten
watermelon. A quality event plays a major role as it
contributes to the success of an organisation not the
quantity of events.
In a nutshell, it is quality rather than
quantity that matters. Therefore, students in
UTP need to be trained how to organize qualityevents that will bring a huge name for our uni-
versity on the eye of the world. We are not say-
ing that it is wrong to have large quantity of
events but we are just concern of organizing
many events with the best quality that will bene-
fit the students, university and our society.

Exclusive Interview
with Professor Robert N. Ginsburg who is widely known in the academic arena as well as in the industry
for the field of marine geology. After completing his PhD in Marine Geology under the supervision of
Professor Ginsburg he had an outpour of job offers. Eventually his choice was driven by the company that
can provide the best working conditions in terms of its technology and research work and that was SHELL.
The next years of his life can be traced all over the globe, literally! So far he has travelled and lived
in about eleven countries, to name a few are Pakistan, Abu Dhabi, Oman, the Bahamas and the list goeson. Highlighting his experience in Oman where he was an explorationist, finding oil fields for Shell, he had
to live in the desert which was 700km away from the nearest town. Meanwhile in Columbia he shared
that he had the opportunity to ride a helicopter filled with bullet holes. Lastly, his period in Eastern Europe
was right after when the Berlin wall fell and the end of the era of the Iron Curtain. His last posting before
he came to Malaysia was in England. Hearing to his experiences and stories you cant help but feel
fascinated of this person who has not only travelled the world but experienced the different cultures and
environment of each corner of the globe.
Finally coming to his stay in UTP, when asked what was the determining factor that confirmed his decision
to take up a position as a lecturer here; his answer was simple, the people he said. The warmth and sense of
welcome that he and his wife received here in Malaysia sealed the deal for them and Dr. Bernard made the call that
UTP, Malaysia would be his last home before retiring. Commenting on the students in this university, he is
delightfully pleased with the eagerness to study and gain knowledge that he sees in our students. He also adds that
progression in terms of character and maturity can also be seen in the students which are always an added bonus to
an educator. Nevertheless, some traits that are disapproving in his eyes are the punctuality of UTP students but all in
all he immensely enjoys the learning and teaching environment in UTP.
Besides his commitment as a lecturer here in UTP and carrying out his research about carbonates under his
research project SEACARL he is an active environmentalist. Even though he has only settled down in Malaysia for
about two years he has iniated and been an outspoken advocate for preserving the limestone hills of the Kinta
Valley, one of Malaysias geological heritage. Numerous publications in terms of books, journals and articles are to
name some of his contributions to the environment. You cant help but feel awed and a bit overwhelmed with theaccomplishments that he has made in everything that he puts his mind to it. You are inspired by his relationship with
his students, his awareness for the environment and simply his way of living his life. No rock is left unturned and
unexplored. For every country that he has lived in and worked at he dived into the culture there head first and was
willing to learn and adapt to each new situation.
Having sat with him for more or less than two hours, there was still so much that I wanted to know and ask
about him. Nonetheless talking and meeting with him made me believe that the life that he led was not out of reach.
The kind of career and journey that he went through is certainly in our grasp, one that you would be proud and
content with when looking back maybe fifty or sixty years from now; A quality life that we all inspire to lead and live.

background. We believe that to be an international
university, it is a waste of knowledge transfer if we do not
have much interaction within the community that consists
of students from various countries. In order to pursue the
togetherness among UTP students, we are going to devise
a 5 Years Master Plan of Integration this year,
Insya-Allah. There will be representative from all races
and countries to work out the master plan and we will
release it by the end of this year. It will be a kick-start for
good networking with each other.
Is there any system used in the MPP to ensure quality
and successful work?
During the semester break in December 2009, MPPUTP
camped at UTP for about 16 days to set up the vision and
mission of MPPUTP. We started from SWOT Analysis, the
method to analyse the organization until we produce our
scorecard. The scorecard is the combination of strategies
to achieve the vision and mission of MPPUTP. In order to
measure the works as MPPUTP, we do use the Key
Performance Indicator (KPI) in our general and
department scorecard. To ensure the quality of works isparallel with the scorecard that has been set up earlier,
we will revise our scorecard at least twice per semester;
one before the mid-semester break and the other is on
the end of the semester.
Professionalism is one of the most essential parts of
good management. How does MPPUTP adopt this
concept?
Professionalism is a standard that govern how members
of a profession make decisions and most importantly, run
the decision. MPPUTP this year stresses on theprofessional ethics within the organization in line with the
fourth mission of MPPUTP which is to uphold
professionalism. Some strategies have been planned for
this year in order to inculcate the line-up of MPPUTP with
the professional ethics which are leadership program,
engagement with other universities, and implement
several rules and regulations. We also practice
professionalism throughout our events in terms of attire,
meeting ethics, line of authority and punctuality. Through
the exposure and sharing of knowledge, I believe we will
be the role model of a professional entity in UTP.
=Quality?
Interview

Could you please tell us a little bit about the
standard of operation of MPPUTP? How it functions
within the community?
MPP is the council that represents students. We are
in line with the well rounded quality that UTP stresses
out on the mission statement of this university. AsMPPUTP, we hold the responsibility to voice out
students opinion for the improvement of the
university. Throughout the entire mediums that we
have, we are trying our best to assist students in arising
issues regarding their welfare and life in UTP. Many
engagements with the students are in our planner this
year in order to nurture oneness with each other. Based
on the issues that they arise, MPPUTP will investigate
and conduct researches for the respective issues to
ensure that we can bring it forward to the top
management with credibility.If students rights are
affected, we will fight for students.
MPPUTP is aware about the high expectations that the
public has. What are the values uphold (work ethics) in
this organization?
This time around MPPUTP is stressing on togetherness
among UTP students. Our motto this year is Pursuing
Togetherness. This motto has two major aspects that
MPPUTP wants to bring to the students. The first part is
about moving forward together with MPPUTP. We are
aware that the most important thing in being an MPP is
the trust from students. MPPUTP is currently striving to
rebrand the organization to be well functioning within
the community. The second part is to nurture the
togetherness among UTP students regardless of their

Interview
Rakan Exco is a supporting group of the MPPUTP. What are
their tasks and how do their roles help the students as a
whole?
Rakan EXCO is not only the supporting group for MPPUTP.
They are the backbone of MPPUTP and the potential leader to
replace the tenure of the HICOM and EXCO of MPPUTP. There
are several tasks and roles to be given to them in order togroom them with the works as MPP. They will be involved
with the EXCO and HICOM in the earlier stages starting from
brainstorming sessions until the final stage of working to solve
issues of UTP students. Besides that, MPPUTP also has a long
term planning for the Rakan EXCO. Rakan EXCO will be sent to
leadership programs and also an expert group in order to
develop them to be better leaders.
Dealing with the management and students both require
different approaches. With the spirit of leadership, what are
the steps that MPPUTP take to satisfy both demanding
needs?
Before we start the works as MPPUTP, one should have the
mindset that we are not fighting for the noble prize but we are
fighting for the right of our people. Leroy Eims said, A leader
is one who sees more than others see, who sees farther than
others see and who sees before the others do. MPP will
always analyse the issues requested from both parties and
identify what is best for the sake of the students.
MPPUTP has been conducting lots of events every year.
However, there are sayings that MPP work organization,
planning, and management are even poorer than others. Anycomments?
Different people have their own views and we appreciate the
comment and criticism. For your information, for the past
years, we have successfully organized many large scale events
such as Convofair, TEC, Titian Budi and many more. These
programs keep on improving from time to time. Regarding to
the question again, I would say that it is a factor of crowd
speculation. What is sad is that until now the majority of UTP
students do not have the knowledge culture and are not
reacting actively with our knowledge related and culture
bridging programs. Therefore, when there are some defectsseen in these events, students tend to suddenly become
attentive and blaming instead of ever seeing the good
objectives of the programs. Students tend to see the bad side
instead of realizing the goals of the activities itself. After
criticizing, there are no further actions or feedback properly
done in order to improve the programs. Their message does
not reach us until it is too late. Criticizing now becomes back
biting. And for your information, only a few people have ever
directly emailed me to give out opinions, criticisms and
suggestions for MPPUTP. Where are the remaining thousands
of UTP students?
Members of MPP are in fact students. How will they practice
result-based actions while they themselves are busy as a
student?
20 years ago, South Korea was very much underdeveloped
compared to Malaysia at that time. In fact, there have been
many South Korean delegations sent to Malaysia to
understand how we manage and develop our country and to beable to maintain stability between many ethnics here. However,
currently, South Korea is much more developed than us. Ever
wondered why? This is because there is a distinct difference
between our thinking and the Koreans. We are emphasizing too
much on result-based actions. Focusing too much on this may
demotivate us when our results are not achieved. The Koreans
however, use effort-oriented actions. They realized that the
more effort we put the higher the success rate that they will
achieve. MPPUTP now is currently adopting this strategy. And as
students and all the busy works of being an MPP, we are striving
hard I mean really hard and putting in all our efforts to
rebrand MPPUTP and move it forward. Let us all be optimisticabout this.
In management, nepotism and cronyism is deemed as
unethical. MPPUTP has always been smeared by those
allegations. Is it true?
As far as I am concerned, there is no cronyism or
nepotism that happens within MPPUTP. That is why MPP
conducted Election Awareness Campaign not just too any
specific individuals but to all. Even in the events, there was no
cronyism practiced because decisions are well made in
collaboration with the management. Selective criteria are set upupon candidates that will lead such events. I assure you that we
provide a lot of training to UTP students in various events
throughout the years. However, sadly enough from our
database and experience, only 20% of UTP students are involved
in the student programs. It has always been the same people
over and over again. The remaining chooses to remain silent,
not participating and only becoming the audience. One thing
that I want to stress, if there is any misjudgement please contact
the HICOM. This year we want to change the students
perceptions to that of a more knowledge based. Contact us if
you have any suggestions.
Many parts of the MPP function have been taken over by other
bodies such as RCSU and Academic clubs. How is MPP going to
redefine its role to become more effective and efficient?
In this issue we should look into the positive aspects. It actually
is an indicator that students are starting to know their rights. We
are mostly Petronas Scholars here which often forget about the
students rights. We can now see International Students
Committee (ISC) and Residential College Support Unit (RCSU)
fighting for our rights. In this issue, we will clarify the job scope
of SRCUTP in coordination with other student organizations.
There will be clear distribution of job scope as MPP is the
highest student body. Through the Majlis Persidangan Presiden
Kelab or MPPK we can solve this issue.

Another contention on whether UTP
graduates are really well-rounded is in the often
controversial Consequence Management (CM)
ruling that PETRONAS enforces on its scholars. A
quick search on the minimum requirements for
Harvard resulted in me returning empty handed
but nevertheless, Im certain that if Harvard
graduates were subjected to the same ruling,
they wouldnt be all up in arms proclaiming the
injustice that has been set upon them but rather
they would either laugh at the low standards or
buckle down and work hard to improve.
Instead of tackling the issue by improving
our standards, we prefer to avoid the issue by
questioning Why 2.50? Why 2.75? Oh my God,
3.0?. During Minggu Aluan Siswa, we were
constantly reminded that in the university, you
wont be spoon-fed. Have we forgotten about
that? Well we might have, but the powers that
cling onto our signature on the contracts that we
have signed have not. So as young adults, I urge
everyone to realize the situation we are in.
On the other end of the spectrum, UTP is
known to produce graduates brimming with
confidence and superior soft skills. The
plentitude of events that student holds keeps on
shaping and moulding our graduates to face
work life later. Without all these events, life in
UTP just wouldnt be the same and most of us
would end up being bored easily. Still, there must
always be a balance between whatever
extracurricular activities we choose to participate
in and our academic obligations. A kind
reminder, it is the latter and not the former that
is the real reason why we are spending our time
in Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS.
So, can we really be the Harvard of the East?Sure, why not? But the journey begins now.

Welcome back to another semester
in UTP! Now, a new semester brings with it
a whole lot of other news; a new chance
to improve on our results, new experiences,
new subjects and much more. But I would
like to highlight a certain type of new that I
encountered in my first week back: new
faces.
The new semester introduced to me
a new face in the form of my lecturer.
Actually, Im pretty sure it introduced this
particular new face to many of the readersas well as he has just been hired to teach in
UTP. I wont be judging him or giving him a
progress report on his work so far (I mean
come on, it has only been a week) but one
thing that he mentioned in class caught my
interest: UTP wants to be the Harvard of
the East.
He then went on to exclaim that he
hoped one day, each and every one of us in
that classroom would hold a doctorate.
Wow. That was my first reaction.
My second one was to applaud him in his
ideals because dare I say it, I doubt whether
UTP could ever be considered the Harvard
of Malaysia, let alone the Harvard of the
East in our current state. Im not saying this
to antagonize anyone or damper UTPs
image, but reflecting upon myself, are UTP
graduates really quality graduates?
To quote a friend of mine, No DC,
no life la bro, and I think therein lies one of
the major issues in this whole quality
graduate debate. UTP graduates do not
have the knowledge culture imbedded intheir daily routines. We instead focus more
on the entertainment aspects of life such as
watching a late night movie, jamming with
our band, going out for a date, etc.
There are instances when the search for
knowledge does take over our life, as an
example during the study week.
However, these instances are more of
the exception rather than the rule. They
are too far and few in between.
Now, compare this to a normal
day in Universiti Perguruan Sultan Idris
(UPSI). Im sure most of us think were
better than them, right? But I dont see
that when I compare the amount ofpeople crammed in their library, on a
normal day I remind you, with the
emptiness of our so-called state of the
art, award-winning IRC. Even during
study week, Im sure we barely stand a
fight against UPSI on this matter. How
many of us have actually used up our
limit of borrowing 12 books per month
from the IRC? Or how many of us
actually do research and precise citation
whilst completing our assignment rather
than just Googling?
The quality of aperson's life is in direct
proportion to theircommitment to
excellence, regardlessof their chosen field of
endeavor.

Field Hitches Totally new environment
In Scomi Oiltools, Bakri was placed into the drilling fluids and
drilling waste management technical division. With anaeroplane and helicopter ride - the Azraq N-1 well in Heglig is
located about 1000 kilometers from the Khartoum-based office.
Heglig was located in the middle of Sudan and its last civilwar ended 5 years ago. Wells and production plants were
constantly guarded by the national army to fight against any
rebel groups. It was an adventurous 71-days trip and at the
same time very, very risky Bakri said. This hitch has notonly exposes him to the technical details of
drilling operations but also has taught him to
have high self-confident, overcoming fears,
the concept of Tawakal and motivation into
adapting the new environment.
Daytime temperatures were burning hot in the
Heglig savanna field. During nighttime,
movements were strictly limited due to
attacks potentially by wild animals and rebel
groups. In addition, nighttime temperature
was very cold. A huge day-night temperature
gap means that our body is constantly
exposed to various illnesses. The Thar Jath
hitch was at the peak of locust attack season.
Millions of huge locust swarmed the drillingrigs until all on-board personnel were forced
to cover all openings of our coveralls and faces to avoid being
bitten said Ahmad Bakri
One of the incidents that I remember most was the Abyei
resolution. said Bakri with a wide grin on his face. A smalltown with a lot of petroleum potentials, the territory was a fight
between the North and South government of Sudan. On the
resolution day, thousands of soldiers from both sides were
mobilized near Abyei ready for a war if any side dissatisfy and
attacks the other side. Can you imagine your feelings whenyoure first time surrounded by thirty-plus soldiers and people
heavily armed with pistols and riflesand you dont even haveone he said while recalling his memories on that occasion.
Despite these tough working environments, Sudanese
engineers were very optimistic in guiding him to regarding the
technical details of the drilling fluids and operations.
This practical has truly taught me the meaning of putting asideevery problem and fears you have in your mind in order to
produce quality work outputs he corresponded. Its yourfocus that is most important. Tell me, how can you produce a
quality workmanship when your mind is somewhere else?
When asked about any driving factors that kept him motivated
during tough times, Ahmad Bakri Zubir highly believes that
parents-child relation is a motivation key. It is the prayer and
dua from your parents that makes you unbreakable he said.However, nowadays, it is a shame to see many youngstersnowadays feels embarrassed when having their parents close to
themyoungsters nowadays take their parents for granted
Ahmad Bakri Zubir is currently in fourth year first semester
studying Petroleum Engineering with major in Drilling and
Production Technology.

Recalling his pre-internship experience when he
was seeking for a placement, the competition to get
