GOMBAK, 17 February 2017: The Institute of Public Relations Malaysia Student Association (IPRMSA) has elected a new line-up to continue the leadership of the student society following its Annual General Meeting yesterday,
Lailatul Fitriyah Binti Matsaini, a public relations specialised third year student, has been elected as the new President of IPRMSA – IIUM Chapter to take over from its former leader, Samirah Hasan Salah Tholib who is graduating soon.
Lailatul Fitriyah is also a member of IIUMToday’s public relations team. She had proved her public relations skills when she won an award of Dedicated PR 2 given during the Communication Annual Grand Dinner last semester.
In her speech yesterday, she said, she saw her new position as an opportunity to demonstrate her abilities in leading IPRMSA towards further success and she promised to work hard to make IPRMSA become a more notable and visible student association during her tenure.
The others elected to the new committee were: Siti Qistina Binti Ahmad Kamal, as Vice President; Syed Adam Bakri Al-Jafree, as Secretary; Muhammad Iffat Bin Yusof as Assistant Secretary; and Nur Ameera Binti Mohd Naziree as Treasurer.
It was reported that membership of IPRMSA is not only confined to Communication students, but those from other Kulliyyah as well, such as from Kulliyyah of Language and Management and Kulliyyah of Economics and Management Sciences, who have showed interest to join the society.
The new President expressed the hope that with the new line-up, IPRMSA will grow in its importance and significance to serve as a good platform for students to gain exposure in public relations. ***
