Red

Red has been scratching nonstop lately, and it didn’t take long to realize why - there have been outdoor cats lingering around the area, which likely caused skin irritation or infection... the scratching was quite severe, and Abyana noticed what looked like a wound on his neck... I didn’t wait long and immediately took him to Vet For You for treatment... the veterinarian confirmed the issue and prescribed a wound cream and steroid medication, along with deworming treatment and flea medication to address the underlying causes... hopefully, with proper treatment and care, he will recover soon and be more comfortable again...

MPKS Acts Quickly

just after I parked my car to head into a mamak restaurant, I was greeted with a parking summons from MKPS... they certainly work fast - clearly very committed to their duties... the more summons issued, the more revenue the council generates, so in a way, they’re doing their job exceptionally well... normally, this area is not known for parking enforcement, so this came as a surprise - only found out today... no worries though, the RM10 compound was promptly paid, case closed... lesson learned: next time, even if I stop just for a while, I must immediately pay for online parking... they are impressively quick when it comes to issuing summonses... special thanks to officer JPK086 for the lightning‑fast efficiency - you truly are outstanding... once I noticed the summons slip on my windscreen, I made the payment straight away... in less than 10 minutes, everything was settled... 

FOB Key Stakeholders Roundtable

I was assigned to engage with an industry expert to gather insights on the development of a business programme that integrates sustainability and technology, in line with current and emerging industry trends... this approach is essential to ensure that academic programmes remain relevant, future‑ready, and aligned with real‑world business demands...

current industry‑aligned learning trends emphasize the integration of sustainability, digital transformation, and technology‑driven decision‑making within business education... organizations increasingly expect graduates to possess not only theoretical business knowledge, but also competencies in areas such as Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles, data analytics, digital systems, automation, and technology‑enabled management practices... sustainability is no longer viewed as an add‑on, but as a core strategic element influencing business models, operations, human resource practices, and long‑term value creation... similarly, technology plays a critical role in enhancing efficiency, innovation, and global competitiveness...

industry‑relevant learning therefore focuses on applied, experiential, and multidisciplinary approaches, including case‑based learning, problem‑solving using real industry scenarios, exposure to digital tools, and cross‑functional knowledge that combines business, technology, and sustainability concepts... this prepares graduates to adapt to rapid changes in the business environment and to lead responsibly in a technology‑driven economy...

in this context, I had the opportunity to meet Mahathir Mohd Bakri, my junior from KSAH, who currently serves as the Director of Human Resources and IT at Education Malaysia Global Services (EMGS)... the discussion provided valuable industry perspectives, particularly on the importance of developing graduates with digital literacy, sustainability awareness, adaptability, and strong professional ethics... his insights reinforced the need for business programmes to be continuously reviewed and enhanced in collaboration with industry stakeholders, ensuring graduates are not only employable but also capable of contributing meaningfully to sustainable organizational growth...
