Kangar – Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) Police Undergraduate Voluntary Corps (SUKSIS) has been recognised as best overall SUKSIS Corps Squad among Public Universities (UA) at the 12th Passing Out Parade and Presentation of SUKSIS Corps Inspectors' Certificate of Appointment held recently at Universiti Putra Malaysia.

Mohamad Syafiq Zakaria, a UniMAP SUKSIS Corps trainee, brought pride to his contingent by receiving the UA Best Overall SUKSIS Corp Trainee Award.

UniMAP Vice Chancellor Dato’ Prof. Dr. Zul Azhar Zahid Jamal explained that the inaugural award was introduced to acknowledge and show appreciation for SUKSIS trainees who underwent a three-year training period (2013-2016) at their respective universities.

He stated that the award, which was introduced by the Bukit Aman Crime Prevention and Community Safety Department (JPJKKK), assessed each SUKSIS Corps group and trainee on their contributions at university, state, national and international levels.

Prof. Dr. Zul Azhar, who is also the UniMAP SUKSIS Corps Commandant, said that the UniMAP SUKSIS Corps has been active in organising numerous missions and community programmes within three years including two international events, namely the SUKSIS Community Outreach Program & Engagement (SCOPE) in Cambodia from 11 to 15 November 2015 and Sustain The Nature for The Future at Pulau Langkawi from 2 to 4 October 2015.

“At the national level, UniMAP SUKSIS Corps contributed their services to the Kelantan Post-Disaster Ops in January 2015 and became overall champion of the SUKSIS Northern Zone Sports Championship (SUTRA) in 2014.

“As Commandant, I am proud of the students' achievements not least when two UniMAP SUKSIS Corps trainees Nor Syafieqah Aiman Syahrul Effendy and Mohamad Syafiq were appointed Line Officer and Assistant Line Officer respectively during the passing out parade,” he stated today.

During the event, 1,082 trainees from 19 Public Universities, including 58 trainees from the UniMAP SUKSIS Corps, received Volunteer Police Inspector Certificates of Appointment from Deputy Inspector-General of Police YDH Tan Sri Noor Rashid Ibrahim.

Also, three SUKSIS Corps trainees received special awards, namely Best Overall Trainee (UniMAP) Mohamad Syafiq, Best External Trainee (UniMAP) Nor Syafieqah Aiman and Best Academic Trainee (UniMAP) Mohamad Zulhairi Zuriman.
