The objective of Colonel Abdul Malik’s visit was to gain an understanding of the study programmes and facilities available at UCSI.

These include UCSI Extension and UCSI Blue Ocean Strategy Consulting @ UCSI Consulting Group and the meeting explored opportunities for management training programmes for the Royal Oman Police Hospital personnel.

It was also made known by Colonel Abdul Malik to the management of UCSI that prior to his departure to KL, he had received support and recommendations from the Inspector General of Police, Sultanate of Oman, to seek partnership for training programmes for all departments and self-development programme for the Inspector General himself in relation to the preparation of the Royal Oman Police Force’s newly acquired 600-bedded hospital project. The hospital is expected to be completed in 2018.
