1. To-day I was invited by Prof. Dr. Saberi Othman, Director of Research Managment Centre, Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris, Tanjung Malim to judge their R & D Exhibition.
2. In her opening speech, the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Dato' Dr. Aminah Ayub, one of the two female VCs in Malaysia, stressed the importance of research at the oldest institution of higher education in the country. While training teachers is equally important, the lecturers are urged to embark on serious R & D.
3. While going through boards after board of posters doing the judging the exhibitions, I can't help making the following observations:
a) The posters prepared are of not of high standard. This is possibly due to less competition on the part of private poster printers.
b) The use of English language needs improvement. I suggest the posters should be edited before they are put on show.
c) Lecturers are urged to show their products of R & D though there is not much of products to show off. I don't blame the university as this silly directives came from the Ministry.
d) There is no clear distinction between fundamental and applied research.
