We are encouraged to always practise self-care and hygiene in everyday life, as many of the surfaces we touch are exposed to bacteria or viruses that can cause diseases.

Bacteria or viruses can be transferred through handshaking, doorknobs, pipes, utensils, toilet tools and many more.

Hands can act as the transfer agent when touching the face, especially eyes, nose or mouth.

Hand washing is a crucial step to prevent the spread of disease.

A Business Engineering student from Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP), Batrisyia Elena Roslan, 22, who is continuing her study in Germany since 10 September last year, along with 11 other students, is now in a safe condition.

She asked her family and friends in Malaysia not to worry because the situation in her area is still under control.

The deer, known as Pekan and Chini, raised in Mini Deer Park on the campus of Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP) in Pekan conceived their second fawn on April 22, 2020, at 7.00 am weighing 7kg after the birth of their first fawn in June last year.

Three years ago, UMP received a pair of Spotted Deer or scientifically known as Axis Axis from the East Coast Economic Region (ECER) to make the university an educational tourism hub (Edu-Tour).

Concerned for the current situation of Movement Control Order (MCO) and the forthcoming of Ramadan, UMP Foundation distributed assistance to the frontliners and the staff in need on 17 April 2020.

The donation in the form of essential food items is distributed in stages in both campuses for 200 recipients.

In less than a week, all families are certainly busy preparing to welcome Ramadan, especially the head of the family.
