Thursday, November 20 2025

UUM Holdings Sdn. Bhd., together with its group of subsidiary companies, successfully organised the First Aid, CPR and Workplace Ergonomics Handling Program at the Seminar Room of the University Health Centre (PKU), Universiti Utara Malaysia. The programme, held from 9.00 a.m. to 11.00 a.m., gathered active participation from staff across various departments and subsidiaries under UUM Holdings.

The objective of this programme was to enhance awareness and competency among employees in managing emergency situations, while also promoting the importance of healthy working posture and ergonomic practices in the workplace. These skills are essential to ensure a safer, more productive, and responsive work environment with reduced risk of injury.

The programme was conducted by Dr. Nurul Asiah and an experienced team from PKU UUM, who provided clear explanations and practical demonstrations on basic first aid procedures, proper Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) techniques, and methods for handling critical emergency situations. Participants were also introduced to appropriate ergonomic techniques aimed at reducing the risk of muscle and skeletal injuries caused by incorrect working positions.

Throughout the session, participants had the opportunity to practise CPR, learn how to identify minor injuries, and understand the emergency protocols that must be followed before medical assistance arrives. This interactive sharing not only boosted the participants’ confidence but also reinforced the awareness that every individual plays a vital role in ensuring workplace safety.

This programme is part of UUM Holdings’ continuous efforts to cultivate a healthy, safe, and high-quality working culture. It also reflects the company’s commitment to supporting the well-being of its employees through training, education, and capacity-building activities.

UUM Holdings extends its appreciation to PKU UUM for their strong cooperation and expertise, as well as to all staff who took the time to participate in this valuable programme. The company hopes that the knowledge and skills gained will be applied and serve as added value in enhancing workplace safety.

SINTOK: STUDENTS NEED TO APPLY VALUE 3A TO SUCCEED

Sunday, October 20 2024

Outstanding students of Bandar Baharu Sintok National Secondary School (SMKBBS) received awards and appreciation at the 2024 Excellence Appreciation Ceremony which took place in the School Hall yesterday.
The ceremony was officiated by the Chairman of UUM Holding Sdn. Bhd. Blessed Dato’ Mohd Zuhri bin Abdullah. This ceremony is an appreciation for students who have been successful in the academic and co-curricular fields.

“Hopefully the ceremony today will be an encouragement, motivation and inspiration to all students to achieve excellence at the next level,” he said in his speech.

He delivered the opening speech with the theme “Achieving Dreams as High as the Clouds”. According to him, every student who wants to succeed needs to have three internal virtues that are the core of success, namely the 3A’s. A strong determination as a fuel of passion, manners in respect and politeness as the foundation of morals, and religion as a moral and spiritual guide that illuminates the path of life.

“Let us cultivate a strong determination in each of us, practice respect and courtesy to all people around us, and make religion a moral and spiritual foundation in every step of our lives. With the hope that all students can appreciate and apply the internal virtues of this 3A, in an effort to “reach dreams as high as the clouds” he said.

Meanwhile, the Principal of SMK Bandar Baharu Sintok Shamsudin Bin Aroff said that every student who achieves excellence should not be complacent because the competition is still wide open especially in the academic and co-curricular fields.

“Students should always work harder and have the attitude of people who are very thirsty for knowledge and within a student also needs to be balanced between academics, co-curricular and personal personality,” he said.

He also advised parents to give support and guidance to their children in learning and not hand over the full responsibility to the teachers and the school.

Dato’ Mohd Zuhri Abdullah also expressed his deepest appreciation to all those involved in making this event a success, especially the chairman of PIBG and the program director.

Also present at the ceremony was Professor Dr. Rusdi bin Omar President of the Parents and Teachers Association (PIBG) Bandar Baru Sintok National Secondary School.
