Abstract
Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) is the largest comprehensive university in Malaysia with a staff of 18,000 and students numbering 180,000, distributed among 34 campuses and 21 faculties. UiTM has an annual budget of more than RM 2 billion to enable it to meet its objectives. As in any organization, UiTM faces external and internal factors and influences, that makes it uncertain whether UiTM will achieve its objectives. Risk, as stated in ISO 31000:2018, is the effect of uncertainty on objectives. Objectives that have been planned cannot be ascertained that they can be fully achieved as planned, as planning is about setting objectives based on past and current events, and projected events. Risk management is important to UiTM, to enable UiTM to direct and control its operation, through coordinating its activities towards achieving its objectives. Unit Pengurusan Risiko (UPR) or Risk Management Unit is a department in UiTM Shah Alam that has been given the responsibility in managing risk in UiTM. UPR is assisted by Risk Coordinators in 81 Responsibility Centres, to incorporate a culture of risk management in UiTM. Awareness of risk and risk management among UiTM staff and students is an important factor as it is the initial step before risk management can be considered a culture in UiTM. UPR among others has been sharing knowledge of risk and risk management through conducting talks, workshops, Cakna Risiko (weekly online poster and a book). Be Clear: Kalendar Cakna Risiko (Kalendar Cakna Risiko) is another medium for UPR to create awareness and consistently remind the importance of managing risk especially in UiTM. Kalendar Cakna Risiko is an innovative desktop calendar, that is easy to view and read, as it incorporates knowledge on risk and risk management with a calendar. Kalendar Cakna Risiko can also be a valuable gift to non-family members of UiTM.
