Assalamualaikum and a warm greeting to everyone,

This June newsletter edition highlights UMT’s dynamic momentum as we explore new paths in global engagement, research excellence, and student empowerment.

UMT’s participation in LIMA 2025 represents our leadership in marine, maritime, and defence-related disciplines. Our researchers and innovators showcased cutting-edge contributions to Malaysia’s blue economy and marine technology landscape through this prestigious national platform.

In line with our internationalization agenda, we are pleased to spotlight recent strategic collaborations with Andijan State University, Uzbekistan, and Universitas Maritim Raja Ali Haji (UMRAH), Indonesia. These alliances enhance academic mobility and research synergies and reinforce UMT’s role as a regional hub for marine and environmental sciences.

Bridging science and society, the Ekspedisi Kelulut Putrajaya 2025 exemplifies our commitment to community-engaged scholarship. This initiative fosters knowledge exchange between academia and local communities, further anchoring UMT’s relevance in addressing real-world challenges.

Our students continue to inspire through their meaningful contributions to the Yayasan Sukarelawan Siswa volunteer program. Their active involvement reflects the values we nurture at UMT: compassion, leadership, and a genuine sense of civic responsibility.

We are also thrilled to announce that one of our outstanding students has been selected for the OceanX Young Explorer Program, a globally renowned platform for emerging leaders in ocean exploration and conservation. This achievement is a proud moment for UMT and a testament to the exceptional talent we cultivate.

This edition also features Associate Professor Dr. Mohd Uzair, whose groundbreaking work in turtle conservation has garnered national recognition as a promising young researcher. His contributions continue to enhance UMT’s impact on marine biodiversity conservation and environmental stewardship.

Together, these stories illustrate a university that is advancing academically and making a positive impact on communities and ecosystems, both locally and globally.

Thank you for joining us on this journey.

Warm regards,

Zukiferee Ibrahim
