Newcastle University Medicine Malaysia (NUMed) in its fourth year of running, finally has its own Student Council. The very first Student Council is formed by members of The Big Bang team who won the election on the 31st of October after two weeks of campaigning alongside another equally competitive team, Nerves.
Teh Jin Zhe (Stage 2), now President of the Student Council stated:
“The team is really happy the student body has chosen us. This will be a great learning opportunity for us to run the Student Council, and we are more than pleased to be able to serve both the university and students!
“The Council aims to serve as a bridge between NUMed and the student body. As representative of the students, we wish to enhance NUMed’s student experience which has been lacking in the past few years through organising various activities, events and services.
“All the newly formed student societies would also be able to get funding after consultation with the Council.”
As promised in their manifesto during their campaign, the Student Council has officially introduced to the students two of their new services via the university’s email. They are the monthly Book Ordering Service and the Nightline Programme.
The Education Representative will be responsible in regulating the Book Ordering Service where students are required to email Mr.Ng Zee Yong their purchases along with their details. The deadline of the service is at 12noon on the 28th of every month and the books will be delivered to the campus approximately 7 days after order has been made.
The Nightline Programme serves as a student support service where students can talk to an anonymous Nightliner who would listen to their problems (examination stress, relationship issue, homesickness and so on), and they promised to be good listeners. This service is non-advisory, non-judgmental, non-directive and will maintain the customer’s confidentiality and anonymity.
“The Student Council will be organising a Christmas Ball in the coming December for NUMed students. This should happen after Stage 3 and 4 students have finished their examinations.” Trisha Kuck, the Social Representative added.
The Student Council is also in the process of setting up a website and creating official university emails for themselves. Meanwhile, they will be utilising the NUMed Students Group on the social network site, Facebook for relevant announcements or to receive feedbacks from the student body.
The new Student Council has since finalised their board of members:
• President: Teh Jin Zhe (Stage 2)
• Vice President: Soo Xi Ying (Stage 2)
