NSTnation UM denies student volunteers told to carry out health screenings of peers from China

A statement from the varsity’s corporate communication office said the group volunteered themselves when UM began imposing stringent health screenings of students returning from China, ahead of its registration for new semester intake which initially was slated between Feb 10-11.

“There was a group of 14 student volunteers initially in KK10 who offered their services in a separate programme. “They had, voluntarily, assisted in the implementation of their ideas and suggestions. It needs to be stressed that they were never directed to conduct any form of health screening process.

UM, in the statement, said all staff and volunteers were briefed on infection prevention methods, and they had been supplied with face masks and hand sanitisers, while the cleanliness of their work spaces were also maintained. “Since the Centralised Surveillance was implemented on-campus, UM is committed in ensuring the safety and wellbeing of other campus folk were not compromised amidst this procedure.

“This Centralised Surveillance procedure at KK10 is based on protocol that is in line with Malaysia’s Health Ministry regulations.”
