Universiti Tun Abdul Razak (UNIRAZAK) was established on 18th December 1997 as one of the fi rst private universities in Malaysia. The University

was named after Malaysia’s second Prime Minister, the late YAB Tun Abdul Razak bin Dato’ Hussein, and offi cially launched on 21st December

1998 by Tun Abdul Razak’s eldest son, YAB Dato’ Seri Mohd Najib bin Tun Abdul Razak, current Prime Minister and the then Minister of Education.

On 1st March 2007, Tun Abdul Razak Education Foundation (Yayasan PINTAR) acquired Universiti Tun Abdul Razak Sdn. Bhd. (owner of Universiti

Tun Abdul Razak) from KUB Malaysia Berhad.

Since its inception, UNIRAZAK was among the fi rst few private learning institutions in Malaysia to receive the SIRIM certifi cation of ISO 9001:2000.

Additionally, the University has been awarded the prestigious Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) status, which is a testament to the University’s

commitment in integrating technology and innovation in its teaching and learning techniques. UNIRAZAK has rapidly established itself as a premier

centre for education in its efforts to produce competitive and capable graduates.

UNIRAZAK is highly accessible to the community. Its main campus, RAZAK Campus is strategically located in the centre of Kuala Lumpur, between the

Golden Triangle and the Central Business District. Its PINTAR campus in Petaling Jaya is just 30 minutes away from the city of Kuala Lumpur and 45

minutes away from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). These strategic locations ensure that our students have easy access to various public

transportation systems to and from both our campuses.

As of 31st December 2010, UNIRAZAK has more than 10,000 students studying in 62 academic programmes at the diploma, undergraduate and

postgraduate levels. The University prides itself in developing relevant programmes to meet today’s needs. All our academic programmes, which were

developed through close consultation with business and industry partners, the public sector and professionals, are approved by the Malaysian Higher

Education Ministry (MOHE) and are developed to meet the high standards required by the Malaysian Qualifi cation Agency (MQA).

Presently under the auspices of the Tun Abdul Razak Educational Foundation (Yayasan PINTAR), UNIRAZAK is embarking on the next crucial phase of

its growth. Its new vision is to become the leading institution in providing quality education and human capital in niche areas or body of knowledge

among emerging economies. UNIRAZAK also intends to enhance its cooperation and collaborative networks through strategic alliances with top-

ranking international universities, renowned in their respective fi elds.

In executing these plans, UNIRAZAK hopes to further boost its presence in the global education market, and at the same time, offer its students a higher

quality of educational experience. By continuously striving for excellence, the University is well on its way to becoming an important educational

institution in this country and the region. By delivering a world-class learning experience, UNIRAZAK aspires to be an institution that produces great

thinkers who will become the accomplished leaders of tomorrow.

Universiti Tun Abdul Razak.

Innovation. Leadership. Entrepreneurship.

UNIVERSITY LOGO

It is a portrait of the plant shoot, which symbolises growth and development, the goal and pride of Universiti Tun Abdul Razak.

Colours are crucial for optimal representation of Universiti Tun Abdul Razak. Red is the passion and love for the pursuit of holistic education,

whilst grey provides the balance in wisdom, modesty and reliability.

The upturned peak in this symbol emphasises the concept of growth and evolution that constitute the attitude that the people of Universiti Tun

Abdul Razak bring to their work. More importantly, it denotes leadership - the cornerstone of the University - in learning excellence, integrity,

organisational skills, creativity and civic consciousness.

It is the crucial point after the fi rst initiation of growth, before the fi nal burst into adulthood. This demonstrates the University’s role in preparing

and nurturing students for the life that comes after the days of comfort in formal education.

The curves on the bottom left and top right corners combine with the straight line in the middle to project imagery of effi ciency, expertise and

leadership. The image in its entirety suggests speed and surefootedness, as if the journey to excellence is unquestioned certainty.

The word ‘Universiti’, being the establishment as a whole, is set in Franklin Gothic font as a fi tting contrast to ‘Tun Abdul Razak’. The letters are

placed further apart from one another in order to achieve aesthetic balance and suffi cient emphasis, as they are smaller and softer in colour.

Grey is the colour of balance, wisdom, intelligence and reliability, which refl ects the University’s trademark characteristics.

‘Tun Abdul Razak’ is set in Barmeno font for its majestic and bold appearance that is not hard on the eyes. The length of these words is evenly

spread out from the symbol of the shoot through the word ‘Universiti’ and right to its end for the purpose of symmetrical aesthetics. Equilibrium

is rendered on the logo as a whole, and attention may thus be evened out on each element.

Red represents the passion, love and enthusiasm for excellent and holistic education.

The design of the mace is divided into three main components representing the three levels of university study namely the Bachelor’s degree,

the Master’s degree and the Doctor of Philosophy. The three main components are:

* The upper part known as ‘the torch’

* The middle part known as ‘the chalice’

* The lower part known as ‘the shaft’

All these elements are designed to reflect the University’s commitment towards realising the vision, mission and objectives of the

University.

The torch engraved on the top end of the mace, adapted from the logo of UNIRAZAK, symbolises the ultimate role of the University as a beacon

of light that spreads knowledge throughout the national, regional and global communities. The fi ve facets of the mace symbolise the fi ve pillars of

the ‘Rukun Negara’ or National Commandments which are constantly upheld under any circumstances. The name of the University is engraved

around the base of the torch in Roman script, signifying the unity of the whole university community.

The chalice portrays the main function of the University in pursuing knowledge. The name of the University engraved in Jawi script represents

determination and faith which are the basic and fundamental thrust of university education. The motifs of the gold thread ‘songket’ at the lower part

of the chalice express the University’s aspiration to continue its knowledge dissemination while upholding Malaysian traditional values and culture.

The logo of the University which is surrounded by carvings of Malaysia’s offi cial national fl ower, the Hibiscus, signifi es the philosophy of the

University and the dynamism of the various academic programmes offered.

The shaft symbolises the readiness to contribute knowledge and expertise for the advancement and development of the people and the nation. The

Qur’anic verses from the Surah Al-Mujadalah (58:11) and Az-Zumar (39:9) contain the call for courage in seeking knowledge and upholding the

truth, which reminds us of our unending responsibility to nurture, protect and celebrate academic achievement among students, faculty and staff.

The ‘Pending’ or Malay belt buckle depicts energy, power and ability in producing dynamic scholars who are pragmatic, creative and innovative

to contribute towards the advancement of Malaysian society and the country.

THE CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

2010 was another landmark year for Universiti Tun Abdul Razak (UNIRAZAK). We sustained our growth in terms of enrolment and number of

offered academic programmes, and continued to move forward in our vision to become the leading institution in providing quality education

and human capital in ‘niche’ areas among emerging economies.

In 2010 we experienced solid growth close to our 2009 high, and we anticipate continued growth in the year 2011 as we rollout new

programmes and further solidify our existing partnerships with various academic, professional and government institutions. We remain committed

to building new partnerships as we look to expand our reach and grow in tandem with various institutions, both local and international.

Our niche academic programmes continue to provide an alternative to the mainstream programmes offered in other educational institutions

and we look forward to the upcoming graduation of our fi rst intake of students for these niche programmes. We anticipate a strong alumni

association to keep track of our graduates and enable them to feel connected to UNIRAZAK throughout their careers.

As our vision is to become a regional player, our marketing efforts remain strong and we continue to aggressively pursue students from around

the region. Our focus is on quality not quantity, and we continue to seek the best students available who can impact our success and become

our brand ambassadors during and after their studies.

With the stewardship of YBhg. Professor Datuk Dr Md. Zabid Haji Abdul Rashid, I anticipate 2011 to be another year of milestone events,

with more growth to strengthen our current growth trends as we steadily progress towards the achievement of our goals.

THE PRESIDENT AND VICE CHANCELLOR’S REPORT

2010 was a productive year for UNIRAZAK as we sustained our growth and made new inroads in our vision and mission. The number

of our offered academic programmes increased to 62 and academic enrolment was nearly as high (4,046 students) as seen in 2009

(4,195 students). Our Centre for Executive Education (CEE) continued to attract interest from corporations as a centre for professional

training. Additionally, our Case Writers Club continued to make great strides, by becoming Malaysia’s largest Case Writers Club in terms of

membership, releasing over 40 case studies in 2010.

In our effort to become the leading institution in providing quality education and human capital, UNIRAZAK took further steps in 2010 by

exploring partnerships and collaborations with more professional bodies and has signed Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with 4 more

organisations. They were Malaysian Association of Tax Accountants (MATA), Perbadanan Usahawan Nasional Berhad (PUNB), Chartered

Tax Institute of Malaysia (CTIM), and the Ministry of Human Resource (MOHR). At the international level, we have forged collaborative

relationships with institutions such as University of Valencia, Cairo University and Ministry of Investment Egypt. In addition to existing ones, these

new partnerships and collaborations have enabled UNIRAZAK and the respective institutions to benefi t by sharing each other’s knowledge,

expertise and resources. I am confi dent that these new partners will help UNIRAZAK to propel itself even further as one of Malaysia’s premier

private universities.

To help ensure the realisation of the vision and mission, the UNIRAZAK International Advisory Board (IAB) was established as a prominent

and supportive group of individuals with a strong, broad-based range of expertise in business and/or education to promote the University’s

opportunities and priorities. Each year, the IAB will convene for a two-day meeting in Malaysia. Among others, the purposes of the meeting

are to advise in identifying new opportunities; current trends and issues in the external environment in which the University operates, provide

assistance in identifying strategic stakeholders and potential partners to help the University achieve its strategic goals and plans, and advise

on future direction of the University consistent with the changing environmental landscape.

August 2010 saw the relocation of the PINTAR Campus from Kelana Jaya to Leisure Commerce Square in Petaling Jaya. With a total fl oor

space of 183,232 sq. feet, the new campus is strategically located within Klang Valley and accessible via expressways (Federal Highway and

the LDP) and public transport system such as KTM Komuter and bus services. It will cater to the increasing teaching and learning needs of the

University, to a maximum capacity of 10,000 students, with modern facilities including lecture rooms, computer labs, language labs, culinary

and pastry kitchens, cafeteria, student lounge, library, etc.

To enhance the effectiveness of its governance and management, UNIRAZAK has made some organisational additions and changes. In line

with the requirement by the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) the UNIRAZAK Board of Governors was established as the governing,

policy making and monitoring body of the University. Further on, the Board of Governors endorsed the new UNIRAZAK Constitution which was

drafted based on MOHE’s template. The posts of Registrar and Bursar were introduced and inducted as members of the University Management

Committee. Additionally, the organisational structure has been revamped to improve the effi cacy and delivery of the faculties and departments

within the University. We believe all these changes will streamline our activities and put us in a better position to face future challenges.

As we move into 2011, our primary thrust is to strive towards promoting a passion for excellence in providing quality higher education and

excellent human capital. The continued success of UNIRAZAK has been achieved only because of the efforts of our many talented staff, students

and other stakeholders. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all staff and students who have worked hard throughout 2010, and hope

that we will strive harder, to ensure our continued success in the coming year.

Let us continue to be guided by UNIRAZAK’s core values in our progress and pursuit of our vision and mission to become the leading institution

in providing quality education and human capital in ‘niche’ areas among emerging economies.

SCHOOLS, FACULTIES, COLLEGES, AND CENTRES

NEW ACADEMIC INITIATIVES

Bureau for Excellence in Research and Teaching (BERT)

BERT was established in early 2010 to enhance effective and innovative pedagogy, learning, publication of research work and case studies,

of academic staff in UNIRAZAK. In summary, BERT is:

• A facility to support the Schools, Faculties, COL, and CLGS in Universiti Tun Abdul Razak to meet MQA and management requirements

in teaching

• A facility to support the Schools, Faculties, COL, and CLGS in Universiti Tun Abdul Razak to meet management and academic

community requirements in research

Some of BERT’s activities during the year 2010:

• Training Needs Analysis Dialogues

In June, BERT introduced two new series namely Training Needs Analysis Dialogues (Research) and Training Needs Analysis (Teaching).

A total of four sessions on research were attended by a total of 55 lecturers from six faculties/schools, and there were another four

sessions on teaching.

• Teaching Evaluation Report (TER) Revamp

BERT was entrusted to re-write the questions in the TER questionnaire which was subsequently uploaded for the January 2010 semester’s

exercise onwards.

• Student Satisfaction Survey

The Student Satisfaction Survey questionnaire has also been revised in line with MOHE’s requirement to provide the management with

more relevant information and feedback from the students for improvement actions.

• Network Generations (Net Genners)

BERT has conducted a study to compare the characteristics of Network Generations (Net Genners) in the USA and Malaysian Net Genners

through substantial literature survey in order to evaluate the adoptability of teaching and learning methods employed

in the USA, in Malaysia. The outcome of the fi ndings was summarised as follows:

• Malaysian Net Genners are not ready for the teaching and learning methods adopted in the USA. More rigorous awareness of

their rights and re-training of their lecturers are necessary in order to espouse the up-to-date teaching and learning methods to

bring Malaysian students on par with their counterparts in the developed world.

International Advisory Board Meeting 2010

Based on feedback from the industry partners, UNIRAZAK will undertake the following measures:

• To reconsider longer industrial training for all degree students to expose them to a real job environment.

• To expose students to interact with the industry earlier in their fi rst year of studies instead of the current practical training commencing only

after 2.5 years in university. However, theoretical aspects are still important even though the industry highlights on skills.

• To embed industrial professional certifi cation materials in the syllabus to ensure students are exposed to the technical aspects of the industrial

standards. The training should be embedded as a compulsory component in the bachelor programme.

• To ensure lecturers also possess industrial-based certifi cation on the courses that they teach to the highest level.

• To organise programmes to be carried out in collaboration with industries so that the right types of interns or graduates are supplied to the industry.

• To ensure changes to improve the curriculum will follow quality procedures set by the University. Approvals from MQA may take

six months to a year from date of application. The industry needs to be informed that universities have their limitations as all academic

programmes are governed by MQA.

INDUSTRY RELATIONS

Advisory Meetings

UNIRAZAK holds regular advisory meetings with its industry partners to examine the University’s offered programmes and strategically engage

with the industry. The purpose is to achieve a win-win basis to realign and focus directions and resources to continuously improve and meet

the ever changing socio-economic needs of society.

In 2010, three Advisory Meetings were organised by the Industry Relations Department for the faculties to discuss current industry trends and

issues of human capital and internship programmes with the ultimate goal of enhancing graduates’ relevancy and employability.

Faculty of Information Technology Round Table Conference with Industry Captains and

Partners on 10 November 2010

Round Table Conferences

UNIRAZAK regularly engages its industry partners in valuable and enlightening feedback to understand the industry trends and skill sets

required in present and future graduates. It is consultative in nature to solicit cooperation from the relevant industry captains and government

offi cials.

In 2010, a total of 43 relevant industry captains, partners and government offi cials from 34 organisations attended three Round Table Conferences

organised by the Industry Relations Department to discuss human capital expectations and requirements in emerging economic trends in the

local and global markets. The turnouts of different categories of industries selected were well balanced and satisfactorily represented for all

the programmes offered.

Positive Outcomes: • The University gained better understanding of the industries’ needs and ways to redesign the curriculum. University-Industry collaboration

would include training-the-trainers where university staff may be trained by industry experts.

• The industry offered experts as guest lecturers to speak on industry perspectives.

• Future placements for staff and student internships.

• Offered a good networking platform and also other future collaborations such as joint research, consultancy or industrial attachment.

• Career talk offers to students from the industry guest speakers.

Employability of Students and Graduate Placements

One of the objectives of the Industry Relations Department or IRD is to promote UNIRAZAK’s undergraduate and graduate students to the pri-

vate and public sectors for internships and graduate job placements. More than 130 companies were sourced to offer internships and

graduate placements.

To improve the students’ employability, guest speakers from 15 various private companies and government organisations were invited to give

career talks to students on their respective industries.

RESEARCH AND PUBLICATIONS

Research is fundamental to the strength of UNIRAZAK and plays a major role in helping to fulfill the University’s mission. As a central tenet

of UNIRAZAK’s mission, research complements and invigorates teaching, as well as collectively supports the preservation, dissemination

and advancement of knowledge for the betterment of society.

The academic staff of UNIRAZAK comes from a variety of academic backgrounds and experiences but all will be expected to be

involved in scholarly or research activities that enhance teaching. Full-time, part-time and adjunct academic staff are encouraged to

be practitioners as well as researchers. The impact of their active practitioner roles on the relevance of their teaching in all degree

programmes is informed by insights from practitioners and formal research activities.

The University Research Committee, which meets once in three months, serves as the consultative body to safeguard the research quality,

administer and guide research operations in the University. It provides a means to discuss initiatives, policies and code of practices to

inculcate good research culture among the academic community; and the setting up of the Research and Publications Department in

April 2009 provides the University with a stronger base to build a conducive environment for research.

Research at this University is dynamic and always evolving; inspiring the active mind and providing new ways of thinking that lead to

innovation. The summary of this report is a public acknowledgement of the efforts of UNIRAZAK’s academic staff and the University

hopes that this will further motivate them to promote the conduct as well as dissemination of significant research under the aegis of

UNIRAZAK.

Launched on 22nd July 2010, the Directory of Expertise (DOE) is an online searchable database of the expertise available here in the

University. It contains a brief profile of the University’s academic members and their research projects and publications. The listing is

further categorised in descending order by the rank of lecturer (professors, associate professors, and lecturers). The Directory enables

members to identify and consult with experienced colleagues and to share knowledge across disciplines. The public, businesses,

industries, research organisations, government departments and the media can easily search for our academic staff based on areas of

research expertise through this directory.

UNIRAZAK’s Case Writers Club (CWC) is led by its President, Assoc. Prof. Datin Dr Raja Hanaliza (also Vice President of Finance and

Services). In 2010 UNIRAZAK’s CWC grew from its 2009 membership of 19 members to 44 active members, making it the club with

the highest number of members in the Case Writers Association of Malaysia (CWAM). The growth was propelled by the support from

the top management who felt that, as a body of education, it was essential for UNIRAZAK to build a library of case studies to study and

learn from, and for its academics to share their research and findings.

All of the members are trained to write case studies in 2 different styles, including the Harvard method. This enables them to adapt their

case studies according to the requirements at hand.

On 5th May 2010, UNIRAZAK’s CWC launched their new logo, website, and the first volume of 21 cases. During this event CWC

also had a special role-play in which various members of UNIRAZAK’s Case Writers Club dramatised one of their case studies for the

audience. Adapted from a case study titled “Regal Crown Hotel: To Yield or Not To Yield” written by Prof. Dr. Nor Khomar, it was

dramatised by Assoc Prof. Lynne Norazit, Director of UNIRAZAK’s Centre for Languages and General Studies, and her team to fully

illustrate the case study and to deliver it to the audience in a more engaging, visual format.

In the future, UNIRAZAK’s Case Writers Club will also participate in international conferences and also conduct more role-playing events.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

Rating System for Higher Education Institutions in Malaysia

Background

In 2009, the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) through the Malaysian Qualifi cations Agency (MQA) introduced a rating system for

Malaysian higher education institutions, known as SETARA’09. It measures the quality of teaching and learning at the undergraduate level in

universities and university colleges in Malaysia.

In assessing the quality of teaching and learning, the SETARA’09 rating instrument covers three generic dimensions of input, process and output.

The input dimension addresses talent, resources and governance. The process dimension focuses on curriculum matters. The output dimension

takes on the quality of graduates.

Data for a total of 25 criteria captured through 82 indicators were sourced for the fi nal analysis from the participating institutions as well as

the Academic Performance Audit (APA), the Generic Student Attributes (GSA) test score, the Tracer Study, and the Employer Survey. Benchmark

fi gures were established for the indicators.

The resulting rating system classifi es its rating into a six-tier category ranging from Tier 1 identifi ed as Weak to Tier 6 identifi ed as Outstanding.

UNIRAZAK participated in the SETARA’09 rating exercise.

The Results

In July 2010, the SETARA’09 results were announced by MOHE. UNIRAZAK was rated as Tier 4 - Very Good institution alongside with 11

public higher education institutions and 13 private higher education institutions.

INSTITUTIONAL AUDIT – ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AUDIT (APA)

Background

In 2009, UNIRAZAK was subjected to an Institutional Audit conducted by the Malaysian Qualifi cation Agency (MQA). The Institutional Audit,

known as Academic Performance Audit (APA), is an evaluation of an institution to determine whether it is achieving its mission and goals,

identify strengths and areas of concern and enhance quality, as provided under one of the provisions of MQA Act 2007.

The evaluation was carried out based on MQA’s Code of Practice for Institutional Audit (COPIA) 2009 which covers criteria and quality

assurance standards set for the following nine areas:

• Area1 – Vision, Mission, Educational Goals and Learning Outcomes

• Area 2 – Curriculum Design and Delivery

• Area 3 – Assessment of Students

• Area 4 – Student Selection and Support Services

• Area 5 – Academic Staff

• Area 6 – Educational Resources

• Area 7 – Programme Monitoring and Review

• Area 8 – Leadership, Governance and Administration

• Area 9 – Continual Quality Improvement

The COPIA’s criteria and quality assurance standards are intended to help develop, enhance, and strengthen institutional effectiveness.

The APA visit at UNIRAZAK involved the University’s management, personnel (academic and non-academic) and students.

59The APA report is not intended to penalise or reward institutions accordingly i.e. institutions do not ‘pass’ or ‘fail’ the APA. It contains the

Panel of Auditors’ affi rmations, commendations, and recommendations which serve as feedback and improvement opportunity for the audited

institutions.

The Results

The initial results of APA for UNIRAZAK were released by MQA in September 2010. They contained 1 commendation, 6 affi rmations and 11

recommendations and UNIRAZAK was given the opportunity to respond and rectify matters raised in the report. Feedback to the report was

submitted to MQA on 15th November 2010.

MQA was due to consider the feedback and reproduce the fi nal report sometime in early 2011.

MALAYSIAN SOFT SKILLS SCALE (My3S)

Background

The Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE), in view of its importance, has introduced Soft Skills that should be nurtured to students in higher education

institutions. The Soft Skills are generic skills across a variety of learning domains including aspects of personality and teamwork. MOHE has identifi ed

seven key elements of the Soft Skills i.e. communication skills, critical thinking and problem solving skills, teamwork skills, lifelong learning and

information management, entrepreneurial skills, moral and professional ethics, and leadership skills.

My3S, or Malaysian Soft Skills Scale, is an instrument developed and used by MOHE to gauge Soft Skills attributes acquired by students and it

contains 180 elements which measure the Soft Skills.

On 9th March 2010, fi nal year bachelor programme students of UNIRAZAK participated in the My3s assessment.

The Results

Overall, for all of the measured Soft Skills, UNIRAZAK students met the benchmark standards. Nationally, UNIRAZAK students’ scores are above the

national average. The performance of UNIRAZAK students is refl ected in the charts.

MQA Quality Assessment for Programme Accreditation

Background

MQA Accreditation is a formal recognition that a certifi cate, diploma or degree programme has attained the quality standards and criteria

set by MQA and is in compliance with the Malaysian Qualifi cations Framework (MQF) and Code of Practice for Programme Accreditation

(COPPA).

The accreditation is a status or achievement as a result of quality assessment by MQA. It is a commitment by MQA to all stakeholders in higher

education i.e. students, parents, and employers that the programmes accredited by MQA are quality-assured.

In year 2010, MQA quality assessments for accreditation (renewal and new) were successfully conducted for the following programmes at

UNIRAZAK:

Background

UNIRAZAK has established, documented, implemented, and maintained a Quality Management System based on the international ISO

9001:2008 standard, which applies to University products, activities, and processes, and continual improvement initiatives.

An ISO 9001:2008 Surveillance Audit was successfully conducted from 4th until 8th October 2010 by external auditors from SIRIM QAS

International Sdn. Bhd. for both RAZAK and PINTAR Campus.

For 2010, the scope of audit was revised as follows:

i. RAZAK Campus:

1. Provision of teaching and learning services at undergraduate and post-graduate levels.

2. Provision of short courses and trainings.

ii. PINTAR Campus:

1. Provision of teaching and learning services at undergraduate and post-graduate levels.

The Results

The external auditor was satisfi ed with the Quality Management System implementation at the University and agreed for the ISO 9001:2008

certifi cation to be effective and valid for both campuses until 7th August 2012.

However, the ISO 9001:2008 Certifi cates for both campuses were issued out by SIRIM QAS International Sdn. Bhd. sometime in early 2011.

b.Internal Quality Audit 2010

UNIRAZAK successfully conducted its 14th internal quality audit from 22nd April until 11th June 2010 to determine whether the quality

management system:

• Is effectively implemented and maintained; and

• Conforms to the planned arrangements and requirements of ISO 9001:2008, and the Quality Management System requirements

established by the University.

The audit exercise covered both RAZAK Campus (1st time) and PINTAR Campus (14th time).

The audit exercise was conducted based on well defi ned audit criteria, scope, frequency, and methods, with consideration for the status and

importance of the business processes and areas to be audited, and the results of previous audits.

In the end, necessary preventive and corrective actions were undertaken by the responsible parties without undue delay to eliminate detected

nonconformities and their causes. Follow-up activities including the verifi cation of actions taken and the reporting of verifi cation results were

carried out as prescribed under internal quality audit procedure.

c. Appointment of New Internal Quality Auditors

In 2010, a total of 19 new Internal Quality Auditors were appointed for the 2010-2012 term. The appointment was in line with the extension

of ISO 9001:2008 certifi cation’s scope to cover RAZAK Campus, and to strengthen the internal quality audit exercise.

The new auditors underwent training on Introduction to ISO 9001:2008 Standards and Auditing Technique on 16th – 18th April 2010.

OTHER QUALITY ASSURANCE INITIATIVES

a. Training on Code of Practice for Institutional Audit (COPIA)

In 2010, a number of trainings on COPIA were held involving internal quality auditors and academics. Trainings for Internal Quality Auditors

were conducted on 20th November 2010 and 13th December 2010 respectively. Training for Deputy Deans and all Heads of Department

was conducted on 8th December 2010.

The objective of these trainings was to expose participants to how COPIA standards were rated and calculated using the indicators used by

APA Panel Auditors. The facilitator for the trainings was Prof. Dr Nor Khomar Ishak, Director of Bureau for Excellence in Research and Teaching.

HUMAN CAPITAL

UNIRAZAK continues to enhance its human capital development by the successful recruitment of talent as well as maintaining an effective

retention strategy.

As of December 2010 UNIRAZAK has 171 academic staff out of which 37 are qualifi ed with a PhD degree (22%), 103 with a Masters degree

(60%) while the remaining 18% are teachers and instructors for English language and kitchen supervisors. In our effort to continuously strive to

provide knowledgeable educators and researchers, UNIRAZAK has sponsored scholarships for academic staff to pursue their doctoral degree

in collaboration with Toulouse Business School, France.

UNIRAZAK believes that in today’s staff retention programme, training and development opportunities and intellectual challenges represent a

wide array of motivators for staff retention strategy. This refl ects a growing understanding that the compensation and benefi t scheme is just a

part of what binds employees to organisations. The right package of rewards is an essential aspect of a well defi ned talent retention strategy.

In 2010, 85% of staff had attended soft skills training that comprised of Coaching for High Performance, Managing Staff Discipline, and

Decision Making Skills for Managers. Executives have been exposed to communication skills that comprised frontline service, report writing,

effective fi ling and documentation. The support staff have been given the same training opportunities but at a more suitable pace.

In the area of performance management, UNIRAZAK introduced its Staff Career Progression Programme that will ensure staff plan for their ca-

reer advancement. Members of staff are given the opportunity to assess themselves to a higher grade by comparing their attributes to stipulated

criteria in that particular grade. This programme motivated achievers to link their individual performance to the organisational strategy to ensure

that the University’s standards of excellence are maintained.

In summary, UNIRAZAK continues to emphasise human capital development through policies and programmes aimed at enhancing the

competency and credibility of UNIRAZAK.

UNIRAZAK’s Marketing Department attended a total of 31 local public exhibitions in 2010, mostly in Kuala Lumpur. The local public exhibitions

surged to its peak in March in view of the SPM and STPM results released in the same month. These exhibitions provided the most effective

platform to promote and disseminate education information to potential parents and students.

Participations in school exhibitions, on the other hand, acted as a soft marketing approach to generate awareness among Form 4, 5 and 6

students on the programmes offered by UNIRAZAK. Through UNIRAZAK’s collaboration with Doctorjob, a popular educational magazine pub-

lisher with extensive network connections with secondary schools in the Klang Valley, a total of 26 schools was selected to conduct personality

tests, career talks and exhibitions. Such activities picked up in April and reached their height in July and slowed down in August as SPM /

STPM examinations approached.

In 2010, UNIRAZAK’s Marketing Department extended its reach to prospective students in foreign countries. The Marketing Department selec-

tively attended education exhibitions in countries such as Indonesia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Pakistan and Maldives to provide education advisory

to potential students. The responses were encouraging and the Department will continue to work closely with the respective student recruitment

agents in future events.

Venues in Singapore and USA were mainly conference-oriented and the visitors were mainly foreign education institutions.

Through UNIRAZAK’s Student Affairs Department (STADD), a variety of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programmes and activities were

undertaken by both UNIRAZAK staff and students in 2010. These 24 activities were carried out nationwide thanks to our 8 regional centres

based in Kedah, Kelantan, Johor, Sarawak, Sabah, Perak, Penang, and Melaka. The CSR activities included fund raising for Pakistani fl ood

victims, visits to orphanages and local shelters, and learning workshops for secondary school students. For a comprehensive list of these CSR

activities, please refer to the Community Works table under the Student Affairs section.

In addition to the various CSR activities undertaken by UNIRAZAK’s Student Affairs Department, there were also some CSR activities initiated

and organised by UNIRAZAK’s Corporate Communications and Public Affairs Department.

On 26th August 2010, UNIRAZAK hosted an iftar, or breaking of the fast, for about 30 orphans, critically disabled children, and their families

from Rumah Silaturrahim Nurul Qana’ah and Persatuan Sokongan Ibu dan Anak Kurang Upaya Azwar Kuala Lumpur dan Selangor. The iftar

was held at Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan on 26th August 2010, which also coincided with Nuzul Quran, the date on which Muslims believe

the Holy Prophet fi rst received the Quranic verses.

UNIRAZAK invited Rumah Silaturrahim due to their strong commitment to education – the orphans are provided with a complete holistic edu-

cation that imparts both academic and spiritual knowledge. Persatuan Azwar is an association that cares for critically disabled children and

provides support to their families, and unfortunately has been neglected in the past. UNIRAZAK invited them to show that they have not been

forgotten, and to help raise awareness of the help and assistance that these critically disabled children need.

of property, plant and equipment, and fi nance cost. It has refl ected an increase of 15.8% mainly due to the increase in cost of

revenue by RM8.23 million, marketing expenses by RM3.17 million and administration expenses by RM1.68 million. A further

RM 2.08 million was incurred in 2010 for the relocation of PINTAR Campus from Kelana Jaya to Leisure Commerce Square
