KUALA LUMPUR, 22 March 2021 - For the first time, a delegation from Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP) led by the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Ir. Dr. Wan Azhar Wan Yusoff paid a courtesy call on the office of the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), YDH Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Abd Hamid Bador.

This courtesy call is to provide opportunities for collaboration and good rapport with the university in academic programmes by offering full- or part-time studies to officers of the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), especially in the field of ever-challenging cybersecurity.

Also discussed was the UMP research output called e-Nose@e-Anfun, which is one of the methods that can be used as an odour measurement tool in addition to other tools in the list of the latest technologies.

“This study is also suitable for PDRM, especially in the field of forensics and narcotics.
