Wahid (who is also the Director-General of Fire and Rescue Department of Malaysia), on behalf of IFEMand witnessed by senior staff and officials from both TAR UC’s Faculty of Built Environment (‘FOBE’) and IFEM respectively.

This collaborative partnership paves way for mutually beneficial activities between both parties such as sharing of academic knowledge and best industry practices, academic programme collaboration, staff and student training, and other relevant collaborative activities that will improve the quality and relevancy of TAR UC’s built environment programmes.
