Latest news from UTM

Researchers from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) and Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) shared their research findings on flood forecasting systems in Brunei and disaster alert systems in Malaysia.

The “Recent Technological Trends in Computing Research” seminar was held at UBD last week highlighted UTM lecturer Shukor Abd Razak on his proposals for a disaster alert system (DAS) based on a “friendship mechanism”.

“There are not many readiness programmes in the region. The problem is that people take for granted existing alerts. In the recent (dam burst) incident in the Cameron Highlands (Malaysia), sirens were sounded but people ignored them because they didn’t understand the message… We can eliminate this through social or crowdsourcing systems based on friendship and trust management,” said Shukor.

Catatan dari Malaysia...

Assalamualaikum wrt dan kia ora, Khas buat mama aqil dan semua, it took me alot of courage to pen this....tak pe mama aqil memang pandai pujuk ayah...sekadar untuk berkongsi tentang updates setelah seminggu di tanahair tercinta Malaysia dan johor bahru khususnya. Memang sangat berat rasanya dugaan Ilahi kali ini pada saya, walaupun untuk perpisahan yang pendek tetapi terlalu berat untuk dipikul. Saya amat berterima kasih kepada sokongan rakan-rakan di North Shore, hanya Allah SWT yang mampu untuk membalas budi baik kalian semua. Sebenarnya, ini bukannya kali pertama saya balik ke tanahair, ini adalah kali kedua saya balik. Kali pertama pada bulan Jun, waktu itu balik kerana adik ipar kahwin dan juga untuk bawa balik adik saya, Dora ke Klang Selangor... kepulangan kali pertama ke tanahair saya rasakan tiada perbezaan besar atau mungkin langsung tak de beza, mungkin kerana baru lagi di auckland dan kami balik satu keluarga... Kepulangan kali ini amat berbeza kerana pelbagai fakto

Jalan-jalan ke Museum Auckland

Last week kami beramai-ramai ke museum Auckland, sbb free for resident Auckland!! Ambil peluang..walaupun kalau kena bayar hanya $5 utk dewasa dan budak bawah umur 16 tahun free, but museum..dah tahu, tak best punya..hahah.. The museum ada 3 tingkat, kami sempat pegi 2 floor sahaja. I don't think NZ banyak history, sbb ada brg2 yg dipamerkan were from the 70's!! Zaman mama tu..ehh..dah tua dah ya..boleh masuk museum kisah ku!! Sebelum ke museum, we went to the starship hospital melawat adik khael, 8 mth baby boy yang bertarung nyawa dgn penyakit exzema..sedih tengok . a very strong boy with strong parents. Betullah, ALLAH takkan uji hambaNya dgn sesuatu yang tak mampu diharungi!! Semoga cepat sembuh! Then after we went for lunch at auckland domain where the museum is. Makan pau strawberry!! Sedap cik june buat..nanti nak order!!

Alhamdullilah, putera kedua selamat dilahirkan pada 25 Januari 2011 (Tuesday), jam 4.12pm di North Shore hospital, NZ. Baby yang tidak dirancang, dan melalui pelbagai emosi hormon yg tidak stabil was one week late ( due date was 17 Jan ). Tapi rancangan ALLAH adalah yg terbaik.. my parents arrived on Monday, 24 Jan, the next day I delivered. On Saturday night, ada 'bloody show'. Then on Sunday, ada lagi, but no contraction. Wasn't sure if it was a 'bloody show' 'cause dishcarge bercampur dgn darah. I look up on the internet, that 'bloody show' was either pure blood or discharge with a slight blood. On Monday baru ada contraction, but during the day was like once in a while. That night was about every 15 minit, but I managed to have a good sleep until subuh, then it was every 5 minit. At 8 am, went to the hospital, but had to wait until 10 am baru masuk bilik delivery. A midwife temankan, then rupa2nya dia yg akan menyambut baby tu!! Terperanjat juga
