SoIS DELEGATION JOINS COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAMME AT DESA HEGARMANAH, INDONESIA

JATINANGOR, INDONESIA, 13 August 2026 – A delegation from the School of International Studies (SoIS), Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), was invited to participate in a community service programme at Desa Hegarmanah, Kecamatan Jatinangor, Kabupaten Sumedang as part of its academic visit to Indonesia.

The programme began with a briefing at Aula Desa Hegarmanah by the Kepala Desa Hegarmanah, Didi Sukandi, who introduced the delegation to the village and shared insights into its community development initiatives and local environmental challenges.

During the briefing, he highlighted efforts undertaken by the village in addressing waste management issues and the importance of cooperation between the local government, community, and relevant stakeholders in creating a cleaner and more sustainable environment.

Following the briefing, the SoIS delegation visited MOTAH-18 (Mesin Olah Runtah), a waste-processing initiative that supports efforts to address waste management challenges in the local community.

The visit provided the delegation with first-hand exposure to the initiative and an opportunity to observe how waste management challenges are addressed at the community level through practical solutions and local participation.

Participation in the community service programme added another dimension to the SoIS delegation’s visit to Indonesia by extending its engagement beyond academic and institutional activities to the local community.

The programme also provided valuable exposure to community-based environmental management and local governance practices, while strengthening knowledge exchange and people-to-people engagement between Malaysia and Indonesia.

SoIS LECTURERS SHARE EXPERTISE AS PANELLISTS AND INTERNATIONAL GUEST LECTURERS AT IPDN

JATINANGOR, INDONESIA, 12-13 August 2026 – Three lecturers from the School of International Studies (SoIS), Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), shared their academic expertise at Institut Pemerintahan Dalam Negeri (IPDN), Indonesia, through two key academic engagements; as panellists at the International Seminar on Governance and Community Protection 2026 and as International Guest Lecturers, where each was entrusted to teach a class and engage directly with IPDN students. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bakri Mat, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mohammad Zaki Ahmad, and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Siti Darwinda Mohamed Pero participated in the engagements held in conjunction with the SoIS strategic academic visit to IPDN from 12 to 13 August 2026.

At the international seminar, themed “Rethinking Public Governance in an Era of Demographic Change and Non-Traditional Security: Lessons from Indonesia and Malaysia,” the three academics shared their perspectives on contemporary security and governance challenges affecting Malaysia and the wider region.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bakri Mat discussed Malaysia–Thailand border security and governance, emphasising the importance of coordination and cooperation in addressing increasingly complex cross-border challenges. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mohammad Zaki Ahmad focused on maritime security, particularly Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing.

He highlighted the importance of effective maritime governance in protecting national interests as well as marine habitats, biodiversity, and ecosystems that transcend national boundaries. Meanwhile, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Siti Darwinda Mohamed Pero addressed refugees and migration, with particular attention to the Rohingya refugee situation in Malaysia. She highlighted the challenges faced by policymakers in balancing humanitarian responsibilities, public concerns, national interests, and effective migration governance.

Extending their academic engagement beyond the seminar, the three lecturers also took on the role of International Guest Lecturers at IPDN, with each entrusted to teach a class. The sessions enabled them to interact directly with IPDN students, share Malaysian and regional perspectives, and exchange ideas on contemporary international and security issues.

The two academic engagements provided a meaningful platform for knowledge exchange between UUM and IPDN while strengthening institutional ties between Malaysia and Indonesia. They also reflect SoIS’s commitment to internationalisation and to expanding UUM’s academic presence and visibility at the regional level.

SoIS DEAN ACCORDED HONOUR TO COMMENCE IPDN’S CEREMONIAL LUNCH

JATINANGOR, INDONESIA – In a special gesture of honour and hospitality, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nazariah Osman, Dean of the School of International Studies (SoIS), Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), was accorded the privilege of ringing the ceremonial bell to mark the commencement and conclusion of lunch involving approximately 2,750 students of Institut Pemerintahan Dalam Negeri (IPDN), Jatinangor, Indonesia. The symbolic role was entrusted to the SoIS Dean during the delegation’s strategic and academic visit to IPDN Jatinangor from 12 – 13 August 2026, offering a memorable experience for the delegation while reflecting the warm hospitality extended by the host institution.

At IPDN, communal dining is more than a daily routine. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner form part of the institution’s structured approach to cultivating discipline, teamwork, time management, and collective responsibility among its students. The meals are held at Gedung Menza, an impressive dining hall capable of accommodating up to 5,000 people at one time.

The ringing of the bell plays an important role in coordinating the dining session. Once the bell is rung, students begin their meal simultaneously and are given eight minutes to finish their food. The bell is subsequently rung again to signal the conclusion of the meal. Students who fail to comply with the stipulated dining time may face a deduction of merit points. Adding to the uniqueness of the practice is the seating arrangement, where each table comprises students from different years of study, from first to third year. This arrangement encourages interaction across cohorts and fosters teamwork, mutual respect, camaraderie, and responsibility among students.

For the SoIS delegation, observing the dining tradition first-hand provided a valuable perspective on how IPDN embeds character development into students’ everyday activities. Discipline and teamwork are not confined to formal teaching and training but are continuously reinforced through structured daily practices.
Being entrusted with the ceremonial bell to commence and conclude the lunch was therefore a distinct honour for the SoIS Dean. The gesture not only provided the delegation with a memorable experience of IPDN’s institutional traditions but also symbolised the friendship and growing academic ties between SoIS, UUM and IPDN.
