The International Medical School (IMS) at the Management and Science University (MSU) ventured into its flagship programme, MyCoral CARE, an extended version of the MyCoral Eco Marine Project, this August.
MyCoral CARE (Coral Awareness and Restoration Education) amplifies complete ecosystem conservation and impact creation efforts stretching from community engagement, research endeavours, internationalisation, and collaboration through MyCoral Underwater Seascape, MyCoral Community Diver, MyCoral Community Learning Centre, MyCoral International Project and Participation, MyCoral Research and Publication, MyCoral Collaboration, MyCoral Award and Recognition, and MyCoral Adoption Programme.
These programmes further amplify the University's commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 3 (Good Health & Wellbeing), 4 (Quality Education), 11 (Sustainable Cities & Communities), 13 (Climate Action), 14 (Life Below Water), and 17 (Partnership for the Goals).
The soft launched featured Professor Tan Sri Dato’ Wira Dr. Mohd Shukri Ab Yajid, President of MSU, accompanied by Dato’ Rosli Yusof, Senior Vice President for Endowment & Communication; Professor Dr. Abdul Jalil Ghazali, Senior Vice President for Industry Linkages & Entrepreneurship; Professor Dr. Mohamad Khairuddin Abdul Wahab, Dean of IMS; Associate Professor Dr. Mohd Fadli Mohd Asmani, Dean of the School of Pharmacy; and Dr. Haniza Harun, Deputy Dean Student Affairs of the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences.
Professor Dr. Mohd Shukri reiterated the significance of embedding the right values and shared purposes among future generations through programmes such as MyCoral CARE and raising awareness of sustainability in the environment during his officiating speech.
The ceremony also featured the handover of RM80,000 worth of grant allocations to MyCoral Community Diver and MyCoral Community Learning Centre by Nur Rahmah Othman, Senior Director of All Party Parliamentary Group Malaysia (APPGM) SDG. A sponsorship worth RM30,000 was also received from Pertubuhan Aspirasi Kepimpinan, represented by Sharifah Nazira Syed Basir.
Nadida Aisyah Adam, the programme director of MyCoral 7.0, received the MyCoral Volunteer Kit, comprising a T-shirt, dry bag, and flag, from the MSU President.
Stepping into the seventh edition since its inception in 2016, MyCoral CARE featured the participation of 42 MyCoral 7.0 volunteers (six of whom were from the University of Muhammadiyah, Palembang, for the Global Mobility Programme), 34 students, and eight staff at IMS.
A total of 10 coral propagators made up of iron rods, galvanised iron coated with coral sand, and concrete were deployed at Pulau Geluk, Terengganu, in the MyCoral Underwater Seascape.
The MyCoral Community Diver project ran from March to May 2024 at Nelayan Resort and Pulau Redang Marine Park, aimed at preserving coral reefs and empowering communities in Setiu, Terengganu. Ten local community members, comprising fishermen, boatmen, students, and their families, were trained as certified scuba divers and coral restoration experts. The participants attended a comprehensive 12-module training programme encompassing scuba diving techniques, coral restoration methods, digital marketing, and financial literacy.
Apart from these activities, the volunteers were also involved in mangrove tree planting at Kampung Mangkuk, as well as health screening sessions led by Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) students.
The sponsor, Pertubuhan Aspirasi Kepimpinan, delivered leadership for the community divers.
