KLMU-Quality and practicality sets us apart as one of the leading educator
Kuala Lumpur Metropolitan University College Building
In line with the Institution's "Real World Practice" principle, the Kuala Lumpur Metropolitan University College (KLMU) has dedicated itself to help young adults to enter the workforce.
In ensuring that students are employed upon graduation, the institution has a dedicated department that provides employability training to final semester students.
Prior to graduation, students will attend a guidance programme that would increase their employability. The programme is simplified into three main functions.
The first function aims to educate students on the current industrial requirements. These include briefings on the student's role within their chosen careers, conduct as well as expectations. Students are trained to develop their communication and project management skills. They would also learn to write resumes and conduct interview with potential employers.
Secondly, the department would assist in its employment suitability through the institution's own network of companies. This includes contacting the intended company while organising the interview for the students.
Finally, upon employment, the department maintains constant contact with both students and employer. This contact enables the institution to monitor job performance on the graduates to provide graduate feedback and suitability. Employers are also provided with an evaluation form to rate the graduates based on their skills, knowledge and attitude.
Students will also receive the benefits of practical education that would enable their transition from student to employee.
KLMU Students are exposed to the real world through participation with various contest and experiential learning. Among some of the exposure students have participated include the "Inspired2011" fashion show, "DETA - Dulux Emerging Talent Awards" and frequent outdoor study activities that includes overseas travel by the Interior Design classes.
Established since 1990s, KLMU attained university status in 2006 and currently has over 6,604 students on campus. The institution grew in leaps and bounds and has removed the use of whiteboards in favour of a boardless classroom. This enabled KLMU to develop a multimedia based-learning environment with a customisable curriculum.
The institution has already invested RM350 million in the construction of the institution's Wangsa Maju Campus which is a 9.4 acre project to accommodate an increased number of students. The campus project consists of seven 10-storey Block Campus building, student apartment residences, various educational facilities and improved education technologies.

MUST -Jointly develop academic and professional programmes in transportation, logistics
The Malaysia University of Science and Technology (MUST) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Federation of Malaysia Freight Forwarders (FMFF) on 10th August 2011 to jointly develop academic and professional programmes in transportation, logistics and related fields.
With the MOU signed, faculty members from MUST and practitioners from FMFF who are specialised in transportation and logistics will form a unit to design and develop the curriculum of the programmes. This will ensure that the courses delivered are highly industry-relevant and practical for the students while maintaining the academic rigor.
Apart from this, students of this programme will also be attached to the member companies of Selangor Freight Forwarders Logistics Association or any other state associations affiliated to FMFF. This serves as a golden opportunity for the students to have hands-on experience and technical training in the transportation and logistics industry.
“We are very proud to have FMFF as our partner because students now have the opportunity to be more exposed to the reality of the industry through this collaboration. By having 1135 members nationwide, FMFF is a renowned National Association in representing the freight forwarders in the logistics industry. Hence, it is able to provide valuable insight on the industrial issues which arevery beneficial to the students,” said MUST President, Dr. Leong Choon Heng.
“We are always keen to equip our students with the analytical skill needed in their working life. This is also the main reason that MUST graduates are highly competitive and employable not only in Malaysia but also all around the world. I am confident that FMFF’s real life experience in the industry will make excellent combination with MUST’s programmes to develop human capital in this area,” he added.
Meanwhile, Mr. Alvin Chua Seng Wah, President of FMFF was pleased that both MUST and FMFF share the same vision to enhance the competitiveness of the graduates by offering professional and academic recognition to their training.
“We need professionalism in the industry as the global logistics landscape is very dynamic. The only way for the logistics industry to remain competent is to enhance our knowledge and expertise in tandem with the changing needs and innovative supply chains,” he said.
MUST was established in line with the Government's vision for a more R & D focused nation, to promote innovation and creativity in the fields of science and technology, and raise the level of human resources to be globally competitive.
In 2009, MUST embarked on a Transformation and Growth Plan to expand from a specialised research-driven, postgraduate university to a comprehensive university, covering undergraduate and foundation education as well as business disciplines. It is active in forging strategic partnerships with both local and international industries in various fields.
FMFF is affiliated to FIATA (International Federation of Freight Forwarders Association), AFFA (ASEAN Freight Forwarders Association), FAPAA (Federation of Asia Pacific Air Cargo Associations, MNSC (Malaysian National Shippers Council). FMFF participates in many government forums such as dialogues with Ministry of International Trade and Industry, Ministry of Transportation, and Ministry Of Finance, Customs Liaison meeting, and provides industry views and inputs for policy makers’ consideration.

MAS GO GREEN
As Malaysia Airlines continues to carry you across the globe, we're making it possible to reduce the carbon footprint of your air travel.
Malaysia Airlines is aware that 2% of the world's carbon emissions of greenhouse gases are contributed by the aviation industry. We have, since 2005, strived to reduce fuel consumption by flying more direct routes at the most economical speed, practicing continuous descent approaches and flying lighter and cleaner aircrafts to improve fuel efficiency. We have also embarked on green programmes on the ground such as integrating 3R (reduce, reuse and recycle) waste management practices, energy conservation, pursuing and obtaining ISO14001 certifications for environmental management systems and increasing the use of biodegradable products. We're also improving the awareness of our staff on the importance of curbing global warming.
Running tighter and greener operations in the air and on the ground makes both business and environmental sense.
Malaysia Airlines is, nevertheless, prepared to go further. From 1st June 2008, for every flight our staff boards on company business, we plan to offset the carbon dioxide emissions generated.
And, now, so can you.
We here, at Malaysia Airlines, invite our passengers to come on-board with us on our carbon offsetting scheme. Whenever you fly with Malaysia Airlines, or our subsidiaries MASwings and Firefly, you may choose to offset the carbon emissions of your flight by making a modest contribution. Those proceeds will help fund selected United Nations-sanctioned programmes to protect rainforests in Malaysia , a natural carbon sink, that reduce greenhouse gases and curb the onset of climate change. Through a trust fund managed by the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM) on behalf of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (NRE), projects satisfying the stipulated criteria will be funded by these proceeds. Trustees of this fund will include the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia and Malaysia Airlines.
We have designed a mechanism that allows passengers to calculate their share of carbon emissions as a result of their air travel and make a proportionate contribution via our internet booking channel. To find more about our online carbon emission calculator, click here.
Even the smallest of contributions can go a long way and at Malaysian Airlines we try to help you be part of the green solution.
