The latest accolade belongs to School of Biological Science senior lecturer Ms Hemalatha Murugaiah, who grabbed the Best Oral Presentation Award at the Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand Growth Triangle (IMTGT) Bioscience Conference 2025.
The prestigious award was conferred at a grand ceremony in Colombo, Sri Lanka, after we were shortlisted from over 200 other universities around the world—including the US, Russia, Germany, India, and more.
Three academics—Ummu Hani Yahaya, Noor Eleena Nordin, and Nurfarahin Mohamed Ishak—snatched a silver medal at the Virtual Innovation Competition Exhibition (VICE) 2024 organised by Kolej Poly-Tech Mara (KPTM), Bangi.

Our team’s winning presentation showcased a research titled “Augmented Reality: Innovative Protection Against Sexual Harassment for Disabled Children”.
Ms Ummu Hani made the podium in CRI2024 for her innovation proposal titled ‘Relaxis Crew’ – a unique solution to the challenges faced by families with special-needs children.
Our Bachelor of Arts TESL freshman, Vinod A/L Selva Raja, topped the podium at the recently concluded UTAR Chess Open Competition 2024 in the IPT (higher education) category.
The initiative highlighted the importance of community service and the impact of spending quality time with those in need.
