The most reliable translation service in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Below is a news article translated from Bahasa Indonesia (This article has been published in Bahasa Indonesia on Pontianak Post, a daily in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Indonesia)

PROF. DR. SYARIF IBRAHIM NOMINATED FOR THE RECTOR OF UNTAN A number of lecturers have nominated Prof. Dr. Syarif Ibrahim Alqadrie as a candidate for the rector of the University of Tanjungpura in the upcoming election. The lecturers who supported Prof. Dr. Syarif Ibrahim Alqadrie come from every department within the University of Tanjungpura. “We hope that the figure of the elected rector of the University of Tanjungpura is somebody who is highly qualified and has established networking with other overseas universities,” says M. Sabran, M.Si., a lecturer at the University of Tanjungpura, to Pontianak Post on Thursday afternoon (22/6)

He continues that the incumbent rector has done a great deal to make internal reforms in the university. “The only problem is that the incumbent rector is unwilling to be nominated again for the second term. She has done a lot of internal reforms. Probably if she is ready to be nominated for the second term, we will support her,” he says. Sabran also states that if we observe the academic experience of Syarif Ibrahim, we can see that he excels over others. Despite of his bad health, he still managed to be a visiting professor of a university in Finland and several others in Malaysia. “If we look at his health condition, especially now when he is just recovering, probably it never crosses his mind to develop the University of Tanjungpura. However as we can see it now, he still perseveringly continues to give lectures in order to advance the University of Tanjungpura. He even becomes a visiting professor. The only issue is that over the past years, the fruit of his success has not been very much exposed by the media,” he says. According to Dr. Fatmawaty, the former Dean of the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences of the University of Tanjungpura (Prof. Dr. Syarif Ibrahim Alqadrie) has been categorized as a lecturer by international standards. He has a very good mission to develop the qualities of the lecturers at the University of Tanjungpura by seeking sponsorships to fund their education,” she says. The figure of the University of Tanjungpura’s leader, according to Dr. Fatmawaty, has to have a good relationship with the provincial government of West Kalimantan. Thus, apart from upgrading the human resources of lecturers at the University of Tanjungpura, the rector can also can upgrade the quality of government officials of the provincial government. “Maybe all of the candidates have established good relationship with the local government, but it is much better if he/she has a closer-bonding relationship with the local government for the sake

of the development of West Kalimantan. I think for the sake of the advancement of the provincial government’s human resources, scholarships should be awarded to those who score 550 on the TOEFL test. The scholarship funding is split in half between the provincial government and the University of Tanjungpura. I am convinced that Mr. Syarif Ibrahim is capable of doing that,” she adds.
