PETALING JAYA: After Higher Education Minister Datuk Dr Noraini Ahmad was criticised as wasting personal protective equipment (PPEs) during a visit to its laboratories, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UiTM) has defended her by saying she was merely adhering to standard operating procedures.

According to UiTM, it was compulsory for “approved visitors” to be clad in PPEs when visits its laboratories.It is for safety purposes. We emphasise on the issue of health and safety for individuals entering laboratory areas, ” the varsity tweeted on Thursday .

At the same time, UiTM said the purpose of Noraini’s visit was to monitor developments and UiTM’s effort in reducing workload for the Health Ministry in battling Covid-19. Recently, Noraini ended up on the receiving end of social media scorn after pictures of her donning PPE, isolation gown, surgical gloves and a face mask during a visit to UiTM made rounds on Twitter.

Tk atas bantu menjawab.. Selamat YB

kalau tak pakai PPE nanti, jadi bahan goreng pisang panas .. takde bahan nak buat cerita cari salah ke 🤔

The issue is that is it necessary for her to make the visit? If to give morale booster, video conferencing will do. Unless she wanted to join the work of the front liners. If so, why not give her a try for 1 week. Semaklah ngan politician menyibuk..

What is her business during CMO in UiTM

Why was she even there? What benefit does it being to anyone? And why does she get leeway for MCO when ALL schools are closed? This is the kind of education minister we have yg sgt bodoh can't think for herself. RIP Malaysian education system

Doctor in the picture not even wearing full ppe set so now doctor is the one who not follow the sop? Aaaaaa we get it 😏

Can all these politikus shut their mouth and face if no value added? All trying to make themselves invaluable to the rakyat, but instead keep on failing and damaging their image.

Pemalas. Tak buat proof read ke . UiTM is Universiti Teknologi MARA. UTM = Universiti Teknologi Malaysia.

Yes must adhere to SOP. But was the visit necessary at this time, particularly MCO is inforce?

Yeah, yeah..... She your boss mah

Uitm mestilah kena backup menteri pengajian tinggi..well kami tak lupa sejarah uitm. Hehehehehehe

As a Min of H Edu, why not she get all the Uni heads to think of ways to produce the PPEs?

stay at home,Malaysia don't need another dracula.

Who cares...

So what? Please la don’t waste resources just to cater to these VIPs. Why the need for this visit when you can just video call to show her the process? What part of that visit is essential services Don’t flaunt the rules if you can’t obey them in the first place! 🙄🙄

Can I advise you? Use video call and do video tour will do, save the PPE. Pakai Tik Tok pun boleh juga.

Visitors to follow SOP on PPE but the lab staff don't wear. Are the staff are immune to virus? Oh ok, staff know how to avoid

Since it wasn't essential for her to visit, she shouldn't have gone in the first place. Moral support can be given in some other way. Not only did DrNorainiAhmad waste PPE, she wasted the time of busy people. They should be focusing on lab tests instead of entertaining her.

Save those PPE for those front liners peoples !!! Not for political mileage !!!

Than don't visit lab and waste 1 PPE!!!!!

And the other folks in the picture? SOP, really? KesanaKesini saje😬

She is a minister of higher learning. She needs to see the work or else u bunch R just gonna say waste of taxpayers 💰 if she sits on her backside. I’m no fan of her, but I think u ppl r just plain bored fr sitting at home & instead just keep bashing her. Geez get a life

SOP is stay at home bodo.

Dear reporter, UTM is Universiti Teknogi Malaysia, the one in JB. Not Uitm which stands 4 Universiti institut Teknologi MARA, Used to be known as ITM, institut teknologi MARA.

Why the moderator only a white lab coat? It means the PPE is not necessary in that area.

Waisting the PPE....front liners need its more

Bagus YB teruskan. Ianya tidak salah pun kecuali bagi mereka yang minda HAMPEH

🤢

Can someone replace her? Dr Mazlee for example? She doesn't seem to bright in the head

Don't visit now... Can't wait till end PKP? Sit at home and tiktok LA...

in your haste of going back to being the propaganda tool of the government, you have managed to get the University name wrong. UiTM DOES NOT stand for University Technology Malaysia. proofreadbeforepublish responsiblereporting

WHY IS SHE VISITING? is she an essential health provider? can she give an injection? taking temperature for patients in the hospital, is it?

please get it right. UiTM is Universiti Teknologi Mara and not Universiti Teknologi Malaysia.

Why do you want to visit it now during MCO? What can you effective made to the Center with your visit except having ppl having to stop their work to entertain your photo ops? You are not recognised. Period.

Best SOP, would be to mind her own biz and focus on her ministry’s work. No need kepochi and waste Ppe

baguslah dua-dua bodoh.

Hahaha. Best justification, which is correct. The only problem is can u too duduk rumah

Idiot she is a Minister OK. The one with Authority. She better went thru the hardship of people on the ground for her to make good decision. It will be a big waste if given to idiots like you. Move on, DAP time is over. Suddenly Msia become peaceful and secure again. TQ PN.

SOP UiTM nak masuk lab kena pakai lab coat & kasut tutup atau jaket & safety shoes ja. Xpernah lg student kena suruh pkai ppe. Dekat dinding lab pun tulis pakai lab coat ja.

All the more reason she shouldn’t have been there. The PPE were disposable, and even if they were not in short supply (which they are) why unnecessarily wasted them on her.

You are wasting the public's fund.

Can ministers visit multiple sites virtually pls . Just hv the site manager/hod bring a mobile ipad around linked to skype video call & show the site , the workers , the whatever the ministers want to see ... save ppe, save taxpayers $, minimize contact, ... use drone also can

What kin MCO is this ? Drag her to court for braking the law!!?

She is definitely not the only one wearing PPE. Her whole team will be wearing it. Total wastage.

ok..tapi takde lekat kat dahi Menteri kan?

This woman🤦🏽‍♀️ Never ending controversy....one after another....maybe she's forgotten that there's the thing called internet....one can also be in the loop using technology...Hello Paham tak mem?

Is it SOP to waste PPE badly needed by other front liner? And what business is she doing in UiTM? Replicating MOH job?

Lol the problem wasn't that she didn't follow SOP. It was that she was there wasting PPE.

What was her contribution to the research ? other than wasting a full set of PPE uitmofficial

Now is not the time to seek popularity. If there is a real need to visit, just go in quietly. No need any publicity. There must be a purpose for the visit and just a casual visit.

What SOP? give it to the frontliners. they're at war.
