The Department of Social and Preventive Medicine (SPM), Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Malaya, recently hosted its Hari Raya lunch in conjunction with the festive season, bringing together staff and students in a warm and collegial atmosphere. Held within the faculty, the gathering provided an opportunity for academic, administrative, and postgraduate members of the department to connect in a more informal setting. The event featured a shared spread of traditional Hari Raya dishes, reflecting both cultural richness and the collective spirit of the department.
Under the leadership of Maznah Dahlui, Head of Department, the celebration highlights SPM’s continued emphasis on fostering inclusiveness and strengthening professional relationships alongside its core academic and public health functions. Beyond the festivities, the lunch serves as a reminder of the importance of social cohesion within an academic environment. Such occasions contribute to a positive workplace culture and support the broader mission of public health by reinforcing the value of community and well-being.
As the department continues its work in education, research, and service, events like this remain an important part of nurturing a supportive and connected academic community.
