Congratulations to all RRMT undergraduates

The grades for the oral exam was endorsed by the PPSSSA Examination Committee yesterday morning. All corrections were made and I have all submission forms signed by 5 pm yesterday and all of these theses should be available for binding by now. Hopefully the theses would be in the Lab by the next week.

I would like to congratulate all of this magnificent batch - very hard working and always-happy-no-matter-what-may group of students. It was our pleasure working with you. I hope you all would be a role model for the future students of our Lab.

The best thesis this year, according to our Pemeriksa-Pemeriksa, is the Gunung Bubu masterpiece, by Zahidin. Nevertheless, a big "Tahniah" to all of you, no matter what grade you have got for your thesis. After correction, all of these theses will be at par, regardless of the grades given during the exam, which were evaluated on your drafts and perfomance during the viva especially your general knowledge. After this, your theses should stand tall, and no one will know which one are an A theses except if suggested mistakes were not corrected and left open for everyone to see.

Thesis Completion Luncheon

Special luncheon was organised on 17 May 2007 by the Plant Systematics Lab to celebrate the splendid perfomance and success of RRMT members in their viva on 14-16 May 2007. All members of the lab but Mat Ros (who was missing and hybernating somewhere we cannot trace) and Zu (who is currently away working in Terengganu).

Our guest of honor was none other than our close associate, Bryologist extraordinaire En Ahmad Damanhuri.



All of us enjoyed our specially tailored nasi beriyani, topped with three big kari kepala ikan. Penghulu Makmal Nery Sofiyanti brought a special homemade puding.
