Dear Students, School, and Stakeholders,

As the new Dean of the School of Government at Universiti Utara Malaysia, it is my privilege to address you in this exciting period of growth and opportunity. Our School of Government encompasses two vital programs - the Bachelor of Public Management and the Bachelor of Development Management. These programs have been meticulously crafted to equip our students and stakeholders with a deeper understanding of governance management and its profound impact on development from multifaceted perspectives.

To foster an environment of unity and collaboration, we hold the philosophy of togetherness in high regard. We recognize that working together, celebrating each other's strengths, and supporting one another's growth is crucial to strengthening our School of Government. It is our belief that by nurturing a culture of collaboration and mutual support, we can harness the collective potential of our students and school, leading to a brighter and more prosperous future for our institution.

In line with our commitment to promoting unity and eschewing competition, we champion a culture that emphasizes complementing each other's strengths. We firmly believe that by avoiding a competitive mindset and instead striving to complement one another, we can elevate the excellence of the School of Government both today and in the future. Every step taken today to cultivate an environment of inclusivity and mutual support will undoubtedly contribute to the enduring excellence of our institution.

I am genuinely excited to embark on this journey with all of you, and I look forward to working collaboratively to further the academic and holistic development of our School of Government.
