To All Beloved MMU Staff , Students, Alumnis and Friends.

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullah and Warmest Greetings.

Notice of Ending of Service in MMU

Please allow me to inform you all that time has come for me to make a move from this beloved university. I came into this institution 11 years ago to build what was the government's desire i.e. the first private university in Malaysia. It has been a long journey and by the grace of the Al-Mighty, my term as President has been determined to end on 31st December 2007.

I wish to take this opportunity to record my highest gratitude and appreciation to all of you - staff, students, alumnis and friends of MMU for all the interest, support and contribution given to this university since its inception. THEY ARE ALL VERY IMPORTANT AND SIGNIFICANT TO ME. Without your involvement and contribution over the 11-year history, it would have been impossible for MMU to have travelled this distance and I am therefore greatly indebted to you all. A million thanks always to you all.

May I also beg for your kind forgiveness should there have been anything, in all these years, that I may have done resulting in injustice or unhappiness to anyone of you. I am deeply sorry for this, and I can only tell you that I am only human and as such I am not free from making mistakes. If I have personally borrowed from anyone anything material and I have not returned them, please do contact me urgently via ghauth@gmail.com.

Let me finally end this short note by wishing you all every happiness and success in all your endeavours, that your life shall continuously be guided and protected by the Al-Mighty, and I do sincerely hope that our friendship shall continue forever beyond the perimeter of this beloved institution.

Most Sincerely From Your Friend,
Ghauth b. Jasmon.
(28th December 2007).
