1. INTERVIEWER DESCRIPTION INTERVIEWER

: Assalamualaikum, Firstly, I would like to show our greatest gratitude, because Dr Sani is willing to spend times with us for this interview. Before I go further, I want to introduce ourselves. My name is Ahmad Solihin and with my team members, Amin and Rafiq.

DR SANI INTERVIEWER

: Waalaikummussalam, thank you for coming. : Now, I will start with our interview. I would like to ask you about your

personal background such as name, age and others. DR SANI

: My name is Mohd Sani bin Madon and I am 60 years old. I am the senior faculty member of faculty sports science. I am being here since the day one of faculty sports science being formed and that was during 1997. I studied in MPSI. So, I am the alumni of UPSI. After I finished my study in MPSI, I went to Melaka to teach as a teacher in secondary school and later on I further my studies at Universiti Pertanian Malaysia to get my degree and was posted to Kuala Lumpur for three years and was promoted to Language Institute as a sports lecturer and I got opportunities to further my studies in Australia for my master that was during 1994. After I finished my studies, I was posted to Tanjung Malim, that was Institut Perguruan Sultan Idris (IPSI). Then, was sent back in Australia at the same university with the government scholarship to further my studies in doctorate of sports science and 4 years later, I come back to UPSI as a lecturer. So, I am proud to be the part of UPSI’s history or making, meaning that I started from MPSI, then teach as a lecturer in IPSI and promoted as a lecturer in UPSI.

INTERVIEWER

: In your opinion, what is the different between MPSI, IPSI and UPSI?

DR SANI

: Of course there is a big different. But the common thing is education. The different is the development of technology, that is a big different what we see now in UPSI now compared to MPSI. Besides that, the

nature is also differerent. When I was promoted as a lecturer in IPSI, things are getting better but the education system is same to MPSI. Not like now (UPSI), we have all the facilities such as WIFI. But the challenges are also bigger, when it is transform from institute to university. Everything is changes like expectations, quality of educations, and we as a lecturer have Key Perfomance Inducator (KPI). Meaning that every works that you have produced will be evaluated or will be giving marks. Otherwise, your promotion will stay or will not go up. But I did managed to scrumble to the ladder of success like from the ordinary lecturer to the doctortrate, I got my senior lecturership and associate professor during 2011, I guess. Now, I am in one year contract as a senior lecturer. INTERVIEWER

: What are your challenges during study, working and especially when

your contract is being continued and at the same time your age is 60 years old? DR SANI

: Now, after general election, we have new prime minister that is already

93 years old, but I am only 60 years old. So, I am younger than our prime minister. Alhamdullilah, I should thank to Allah s.w.t. because I am healthy. I am yet to have complication in my health like at this age most of the people have already got illness like hypertension, diabetes, and colonary heart problems. But, so far, I am clean in health. So, I think I am capable in continuing my service if needed for a few more years. So, old age is not a big challenges. But during study, of course, we all have challenges. When I continued my studies in Australia, actually my wife was stop working. When I brought my family there, the scholarship was not enough to support my family. So, I must to work part time. During my master and phd years, I worked as a cleaner in shopping complex. I start working from morning to evening and after that I study. That’s I call a challenge because you must to work and study. That’s a challenges for adult students if continuing studies at high level. INTERVIEWER

: My last question is what your opinion about unemployment issue? This is because nowadays, graduated students from university can’t get proper jobs, and there are also many cases thatI these high-graduated worker

especially from degree or diploma are only getting paid below than Rm 1000 and at the same time the living cost is also increasing. DR SANI

: To overcome this issue, I suggested fresh-graduated students to further their studies whether in degree or master. Don’t waste time. For those who are graduated from education degree, if you can, while waiting your time to be posted in any schools, you must continue your study. So, straight ahead if you are not being employed immediately after graduation. But if you are in a situation to support your family or helps your parents perhaps, then do not be choosy to get a good job. This is because there are not many employees can pay as high as your degree level. Don’t expect for that. You must go to any kinds of jobs that you can do with a little pay and then spend wisely with your salary. Another way, you can be your on entrepreneur or in other words starts a small business.

INTERVIEWER

: So, basicly we believe that we have gain a lot from you, gain a lot of informations

abaout

your

personal

backgrounds,

challenges,

recommendations and advices. Again we want to thank because dr are willing to spend time with us for this interview. Until, we see again, assalamualaikum. DR SANI

: You are welcome.
