11 February 2021- Since the outbreak of Covid-19 a year ago, the pandemic has changed the way we live our lives. In spite of all the chaos and yet another round of lockdowns across the nation, Competency Unit of Centre for Modern Languages (CML) managed to organise a free MUET online speaking class to accommodate UMP MUET candidates with the necessary preparation particularly because the first time the new format is used. The test is scheduled from 17^th until 25^th, February 2021.

On 6 March and 21 March 2021, several Centre for Modern Languages (CML) staffs had volunteered to manage the process of students’ physical admission to the campus. Staffs who volunteered have worked together to assist the University Health Center (PKU) in conducting health screenings on students who return to campus. According to Najjahul Huda and Jamilah Bebe, the opportunity to volunteer when the country is facing a Covid-19 pandemic is a lifetime opportunity because it requires a strong spirit and high sacrifice.

The instructor of this class is Puan Juwairiah Osman who is also the course coordinator.
