It was formed in 1964, one year after the founding of the Faculty of Medicine in the University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur. The department is involved in both Undergraduate and Postgraduate teachings. The Master of Public Health Programme was started in 1974 to cater to the needs of the country. There are now more than 480 Master of Public Health graduates from Malaysia and around the world. They now serve with distinction in the Ministry of Health, universities and various other bodies including the Malaysian Armed Forces; and town and city councils. Being a department with a vision and mission, it is dedicated to the discipline of Public Health and looks forward to the future with vigour and enthusiasm. Organisation Structure The Department of Social and Preventive Medicine is organised into five units (see organisation chart): • Management Unit (MGT) • Medical Statistics Unit (MSTAT) • Epidemiology Unit (EPI) • Family Health Unit (FH) • Occupational and Environmental Health Unit (OEH) Each unit is made up of the unit head, lecturers and programme assistant (PA). In addition, the department is also supported by the administrative personnel at the Office of Head of Department. Since the department offers a number of higher degree programmes, the department’s Postgraduate Secretariat plays a vital role in running these programmes. “The hardest conviction to get into the mind of a beginner is that the education upon which he is engaged is not a college course, not a medical course, but a life course, for which the work of a few years under teachers is but a preparation" Sir William Osler's valedictory address given on 14 April 1905 to his student at McGill University excerpt from Medicine as a Life Course in Medical Education in Malaysia by TJ Danaraj 1 Organisation Chart Report2006 SPM Annual JABATAN PERUBATAN KEMASYARAKATAN DAN PENCEGAHAN Department of Social and Preventive Medicine (SPM) P/M (AP) Awang Bulgiba A Mahmud Ketua Jabatan (Head of Department) Unit Statistiks Perubatan Unit Epidemiology Unit Pengurusan Kesihatan Unit Kesihatan Keluarga Unit Kesihatan Pekerjaan & Persekitatan Medical Statistical Unit Epidemiology Unit Health Management Unit Family Health Unit Occupational & Environmental Health Unit P/M (AP) Atiya Ab Sallam P/M ( ) Dr Saimy Ismail P/M ( ) Datò Dr S N Ghani Dr Noran Naqiah Hairi AP AP P/M (AP) Dr Retneswari Masilamani P/M (AP) Datò Dr S N Ghani P/M (AP) Dr Ketua Unit Ketua Unit Ketua Unit Pemangku Ketua Unit Ketua Unit Koordinator Samsinah Hussain (Head of Unit) ( ) ( ) ( ) Head of Unit Head of Unit Acting Head of Unit (Head of Unit) (Coordinator) Staf Akademik / Academic Staff Dr Htay Moe P/M (AP) Awang Dr Sanjay Rampal Dr Mas Ayu Said Pn (Mdm) Karina P/M (AP) Datò Dr Farizah Datin Dr Dr Nabilla AS Abd Dr Victor Hoe Chee Bulgiba A Mahmud Razali* Dr S N Ghani Mohd Hairi* Norlaili A Aziz Mohsein* Wai Abdullah En (Mr) Mohd Dr Ng Chiu Wan Dr Maznah Dr Maslinor Ismail Roshidi Ismail En (Mr) Hazreen Dahlui* Abdul Majid* Pascaijazah Pentadbiran Staf Sokongan/ Support Staff Postgraduate Administrative Organisation Chart Organisation Cik (Ms) Ng Cik (Ms) Nur En (Mr) Syahril Cik (Ms) Norizan Cik (Ms) Shamsina Cik (Ms) Jayasutha Pn (Mdm) Siti Pn (Mdm) Noor Pn (Mdm) Moy Pn (Mdm) Lee Pn (Mdm) Nor Pn (Mdm) Wee Geok Bee Fadhlina Othman Foong Ming Pek Ling Zurina Zainol Sham Abdul Latif Bee Suan Moez0 Shamsudin d/o Kamrajoo Nurmaznum Irdawaty Zulkafri Kamarodzaman Cik (Ms) Nur En ( ) T.

Mission The Department views its mission at the undergraduate level as being charged with the responsibility, via the medical undergraduate instructional programme, for the preparation of the potential graduate to take up duties in the running of health programmes for the community in all parts of the nation and to be able to operate from the national health care service system effectively and efficiently (at the level of the medical officer). The Department views its mission at the post-graduate level as being charged with the responsibility, via its post-graduate public health training programmes, to produce a doctor who may be considered as a professional and a specialist in the general domain of public health as well as in a particular chosen specialty within it. The Department also considers in its mission to share the knowledge and skills gained in its various activities with others who are interested. This is envisaged to be achieved in various ways including the conduct of short courses from time to time. 3 SPM Annual Report 2006 Activities in 2006 ACTIVITIES IN 2006 2006 has been a productive year for our department.

  • Sediment Transport Modeling for Kulim River E a Case Study
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Journal of Hydro-environment Research 2 (2008) 47e59 www.elsevier.com/locate/jher Sediment transport modeling for Kulim River e A case study Chang Chun Kiat*, Aminuddin Ab Ghani, Rozi Abdullah, Nor Azazi Zakaria River Engineering and Urban Drainage Research Centre (REDAC), Universiti Sains Malaysia, Engineering Campus, Seri Ampangan, 14300 Nibong Tebal, Penang, Malaysia Received 10 August 2007; revised 12 March 2008; accepted 9 April 2008 Abstract Rapid urbanization has accelerated impact on the catchment hydrology and geomorphology. This rapid development which takes place in river catchment will result in higher sediment yield and affect river morphology and river channel stability; it also becomes the main cause for serious flooding in urban areas. Therefore, it is necessary to predict and evaluate the river channel stability due to the existing and future developments. This study proceeds at Kulim River in Kedah state, a natural stream in Kedah, Malaysia. The FLUVIAL-12 model, an erod- ible-boundary model which simulates inter-related changes in channel-bed profile, width variation and changes in bed topography was selected for this study. Engelund-Hansen formula and roughness coefficient n ¼ 0.030 were found to be the best combination to represent the sediment transport activity in the study reach, where good agreements were obtained for both water level and bed profiles between the measured data and predicted results by FLUVIAL-12 model. The model simulation results for existing conditions, future conditions and long-term modeling show that the sediment size and channel geometry in Kulim River changed significantly. However, modeled results show that future changes in cross sectional geometry will be limited and erosion along the reach will slow down from 2006 to 2016, thus Kulim River was predicted to be stable at most locations.
