November–December 2025
In response to the severe floods that struck Perlis at the end of November and early December, the Faculty of Chemical Engineering & Technology (FKTK), UniMAP mobilised a dedicated Volunteer Mission (Siri 1–4) to support affected members of the community.
Across the four volunteer rounds, FKTK staff and students worked together to clean and restore the homes of seven FKTK staff members impacted by the floods. The assistance included debris removal, house cleaning, and restoring basic living spaces to ensure the affected families could return to a safer and more comfortable environment.
In addition, the FKTK volunteer team extended their efforts to Sekolah Menengah Sains Tuanku Syed Putra (SMSTSSP). The focus of the operation was the cleaning of the school’s gymnasium, sports room, and hostel office, all of which were significantly affected by floodwaters.
This mission reflects the strong spirit of solidarity, compassion, and community responsibility among the FKTK family. The faculty extends its heartfelt appreciation to all volunteers who stepped forward to serve during this difficult time.
Together, we rise stronger.

The Faculty of Chemical Engineering & Technology (FKTK), Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), had the honour of welcoming a four-member delegation from the Department of Biology, Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS), Indonesia, led by Prof. Dr. Awik Puji Dyah Nurhayati, Head of the Department of Biology.
The visit, held as part of UniMAP’s ongoing international collaboration initiatives, began at FKTK Jejawi Campus with an introductory session on UniMAP, FKTK, and ITS’s Department of Biology. Both institutions shared insights into their academic structures and research focus areas, highlighting the potential for synergistic growth in biotechnology and life sciences.
A key agenda of the visit was the final discussion phase of the Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) for the upcoming Dual Degree Master by Research program between UniMAP and ITS, aimed at fostering cross-border academic mobility and collaborative research excellence.
The delegation also visited several laboratories at FKTK, where they were introduced to the faculty’s advanced facilities, including a mini bioreactor system, which is not yet available at ITS but aligns with their expanding tissue culture research focus.
The visit continued at UniMAP Pauh Putra Campus, where the delegates toured the TVET Centre and Pauh Library, gaining a broader understanding of UniMAP’s ecosystem for research, learning, and innovation.
This academic visit marked another significant milestone in strengthening the long-standing partnership between UniMAP and ITS, paving the way for deeper cooperation in research, postgraduate education, and knowledge exchange.
