MIMET
Ahoy!
Alhamdulillah,
dengan
izin
Allah Subhanahuwataala, buletin UniKL MIMET yang kerdil ini
mampu menyahut cabaran untuk terus bernafas bagi
memuatkan coretan-coretan dan aspirasi warga MIMET
sekalian. Kita semua sedia maklum UniKL merupakan sebuah
syarikat yang dimiliki sepenuhnya oleh Majlis Amanah Rakyat
(MARA). Sehubungan itu, apa jua yang kita laksanakan bukan
sahaja perlu konsisten dengan Visi dan Misi UniKL tetapi juga perlu menyokong Misi
Korporat pemilik kita. Penyataan Amanah yang diutarakan melalui Misi Korporat MARA

GDQPDUXDKEDQJVDPHQHUXVLSHOEDJDLDNWLYLWLHNRQRPLSHQGLGLNDQNHPDV\DUDNDWDQ´
Adalah tidak dinafikan secara umumnya UniKL sentiasa mendokong Penyataan
Amanah tersebut dengan membuka ruang yang seluas mungkin untuk anak-anak
bangsa melanjutkan pelajaran sehingga ke peringkat ijazah. Namun dalam
keghairahan kita untuk memperbaiki prestasi kewangan, kadangkala ada yang terlupa
bahawa yuran pengajian yang ditetapkan seakan-akan menutup pintu kepada
pelajar-pelajar daripada keluarga yang kurang berada. Tindakan ini bukan sahaja tidak
konsisten dengan Penyataan Amanah MARA, bahkan merugikan UniKL kerana para
lepasan sekolah sudah pasti akan memilih institusi yang dapat menawarkan yuran
yang kompetitif dan mampu ditampung melalui pinjaman pelajaran yang disediakan.

Thanks Allah for allowing us to realize the second issue of MIMET Ahoy! In spite of
being at the infancy stage, the verbal comments given by staff and students alike to the
initial issue of the bulletin were encouraging. Notwithstanding that, we at the editorial
board would like to welcome any written comments and suggestions from all readers in
order to further improve our bulletin. Other forms of contributions such as news, academic articles, poem, religions, general knowledge or other creative writings are also
warmly welcomed. Nevertheless, all contributions must be original. The editors will
endeavour our best to enable most if not all the contributions to be published. The
coming semester break is probably a good time to search for ideas while vacating at
our kampungs, by the sea sides or on top of the hills. Till then, may Allah bless us with
good health, fair winds and following seas.

membolehkan mereka menamatkan pengajian pada semester ini.
Sementara bantuan ihsan sebanyak RM500 diberikan kepada Mohd
Fadzli bin Rosley yang menghadapi masalah kesempitan kewangan
akibat penderitaan kesihatan yang ditanggung oleh bapanya. Saudara
Fadzli adalah pelajar cemerlang DET dalam Kejuteraan Marin.
Bantuan TKS ini diharap bukan sahaja dapat membantu pelajar
meringankan bebanan kewangan tetapi yang lebih penting adalah
keprihatinan pihak pengurusan Universiti dan pelajar-pelajar lain yang
mencarum dalam TKS. Tanpa caruman dari pelajar semua, tidak
mungkin TKS dapat menyalurkan bantuan yang diharapkan.

RESIN INFUSION IMPLEMENTATION
IN SELECTED MARINE SMIs IN MALAYSIA
Kamarul Nasser Mokri,
Shamsul Effendy Abdul Hamid
Figure 1: Percentage of survey participation
Introduction
Over the last 30 years, industries
have been relying on composite
materials. Both traditional and
modern techniques have been
applied. Resin Infusion is one of the
latest techniques in FRP. Basically it is a
method for wetting out composite fabrics
under a vacuum. The resin is injected into
the dry reinforcement fabrics, and unlike
hand lay-up, it creates a much cleaner, cost
saving and time saving process together
with a safer work environment.
The Benefits
Resin Infusion provides better improvement
especially on the fiber proportion to resin,
thereby increasing product strength to
weight ratio.
The Survey
Respondents were indentified from the data
collected through the internet sources and
marine magazines on SMI operators in
fiberglass around Malaysia.
Only 7
companies responded to our survey from
24 which comprised 30% of the total
companies. The survey questionnaires
were sent to companies both in Peninsular
Malaysia and Sabah / Sarawak.
Companies
The responded companies are under SMI
category as well as from the shipbuilding
industry background.
Survey Result
From
the
survey,
all
of
the
correspondences are aware of the
existence of resin infusion and its
advantages but most of them (about 85
percent) have little knowledge and
moderate knowledge about it. One
company
considered
itself
very
knowledgeable in resin infusion. None of
them
nevertheless,

this
technique in their premises.

awareness to the public through seminars
and forums apart from inculcating
academicians to pursue research in resin
infusion technology.
The government should immediately assist
through various ministries and agencies in
promoting the technique locally by
introducing research grant, study visit and
tax exemption for the purchasing of
relevant equipment.
Conclusion
As shown in Figure 2 above, the obstacles in
implementing the technique are mainly due to
high cost and the unavailability of skillful
workforce.
Resin infusion technique offers a lot of
benefits such as safety, quality, time saving
and cost reduction. In ensuring the
Malaysian
SMI fiberglass operators
implement this latest technique, support
from the government and
relevant
universities are of utmost essential.
Discussion
References
In order to materialize the implementation of
the resin infusion technique, further assistance
is strongly required in the area of financial,
training and equipment as shown in

A person with a critical mind is always thinking
beyond the box.
This is because he is more
inquisitive to learn and acquire more than his
subordinates who are not so critically minded.
The critically minded person is eager to acquire
further knowledge beyond the realm of an

Conclusion
The influence of critical reading has greatly
benefited mankind through the ages. Academicians
and students should seek to read with an inquisitive
mind, be critical enough to see beyond the box by
breaking down the walls of knowledge barriers to
uncover the truths about this world. It is in the best
interest of academics that they should start
embarking on critical reading that can open up and
stimulate their critical minds to be more inquisitive,
productive and creative. Great research works can
be effectively undertaken if academics focus more
on critical readings to create more critical minds.
This is especially crucial if Malaysia is going to
progress in a knowledge-based economy that no
longer relies on exports of manufactured products
and services but instead focusing on export of creative and innovative human capital who are experts
in their fields of specialization.
are truthful and valid. A timid or just a plain mind
would not usually generate creative or innovative
ideas. Academicians and students alike should
therefore strive to be critically minded to ensure
their critical reading results in output that can
assist in achieving high value on their research
papers or projects.
A man is not born with a
critical mind but he acquires it through rigorous
critical readings and observations. Education is
therefore a strong pre-requisite to acquiring a
critical mind through critical readings.
A self
learner may dispute this fact; nevertheless a
great number of renowned scholars and brilliant
students are

O
n a dark sacred night, you entered a ship for the first time in your life. As you entered from the jetty
you went through a GANGWAY. As you arrived onboard the ship, you were actually standing on a
DECK, which is the floor of the ship. Ships normally have many DECKS, similar to tall buildings that have
many floors. You were than ushered into the ship. Similar to the inside of a building, you will see walls
surrounding you. Onboard ships, walls are known as BULKHEADS. As you look up from where you were,
you noticed a DECKHEAD above you. It is actually the ceiling of a ship. As you walked through the

place as a GALLEY. Since your friend was one of the officers onboard, he subsequently took you to a
place where ships officers relax and enjoy their meals. That place is known as a WARDROOM.
A
fter having a sumptuous dinner, you wanted to ease yourself before you go home. Therefore you
asked your friend to show where the HEAD was located since there is no toilet onboard ship. After
easing yourself, you reckoned you did not feel well and asked your friend in case there is a suitable
medicine onboard. Fortunately, the doctor was on duty that night and your friend took you to see him at the
SICKBAY. After the required treatment was given at the SICKBAY, you requested your friend to take you
for a guided tour around the ship. Your friend agreed and decided to take you to visit the BRIDGE. ³7KDWLV

friend stopped at his CABIN (room) to change the battery of his hand phone. The bridge can be entered
through DOORS or a HATCH, which is an opening of the deck.
A
s you entered the bridge, you saw many equipment inside it. Among others, you saw a wheel to steer
the ship, radar, echo sounder, engine telegraphs, compass, global positioning system (GPS) and
many others. Nevertheless, you were amazed to see an electronic map that is used to enable the ship to

structure, which is the construction above the main deck. The area in front of the ship on the main deck is
called a FORECASTLE but normally pronounce as a )2&¶6/( The front of a ship is called STEM. Hence
when you measure the length of a ship you will normally measure from STEM to STERN.

our friend then guided you to the PORT (left) side and the STARBOARD (right) side of the bridge, and
you saw things like lifeboats and life rafts on the two sides. There were also lifebuoys that can be used
to safe a MANOVERBOARD. Suddenly you saw a speed boat approaching the ship at high speed. Since it

sounded very familiar. Suddenly you realized that you were not onboard any ship, but somewhere in
MIMET in your CABIN, lying on a DECK, with your head touching the BULKHEAD, sometime glimpsing at
the DECKHEAD, with a photo of your loved ones on your PORT and fortunately enough with MIMET

ship to use maritime terminologies. Let MIMET be our STONE FRIGATE (ship), and we can start using
maritime terminologies whenever practicable.
