Public Talks at Pustaka Miri in June 2009

Posted on 05 June 2009

 Pustaka Miri is organizing another two (2) public talks this month (June 2009) as to continuously promote lifelong learning and knowledge-sharing in the Miri community.


On Tuesday, 9th June 2009, Miri Hospital's director Dr. Uma Devi has been invited to give a public health talk on 'Leading A Healthy Lifestyle' (Amalan Hidup Sihat) at the library's Auditorium. It will commence at 2:30pm.


Dr. Uma will emphasize on simple ways to start living healthily through proper dietary, getting sufficient rest through sleep, exercising as well as relaxing physically and mentally. She will also touch on stress and steps to control it.


The second talk will be on 'Future Medical System For Rural Bario' (Sistem Perubatan Akan Datang Untuk Kawasan Pedalaman: Bario) which will be held on Thursday, 18th June 2009. A business information system lecturer from Curtin University of Technology Sarawak Campus Azhar Yahya has been invited to present the talk.


To be held in the Auditorium from 2:30pm, Azhar will share with the audience on the information and communication technology (ICT) systems set up for medical purposes in the rural areas particularly Bario. The highland was chosen because of its location which is only reachable via air transport or long enduring grueling land travel.


Both talks are open to anyone interested to learn respective subjects and admission is free.
