Minister calls on Mitsa to invite more UiTM teaching staff to join ranks

KUCHING (June 9): The Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Sarawak Alumni Association (Mitsa) is called upon to invite more teaching staff from the campus to become its members, said Minister of Women, Family and Community Development Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri.She said the teaching staff were very active especially in terms of their involvement in community programmes but they were not part of Mitsa.“We’ll need to invite them — we can sit down together with them and invite them to join Mitsa. This is important because they are very active and applied for fundings to organise community programmes but they did not apply under Mitsa.“The good thing is they have organised community programmes; however, I sometimes wonder whether or not they joined Mitsa,” she said when officiating the Mitsa 16th Biennial General Meeting at a hotel here today.
