Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic - Berjaya University College

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused many countries to go into lockdown. Malaysia is no exception. We started the Movement Control Order (MCO) since 18th March 2020 and as of today, we are glad to be in the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO). 

Since MCO started, we have switched all our classes to online mode, hoping that we can return to face-to-face teaching in no time. However, on 27th May 2020, Malaysia Higher Education Ministry said that all university lectures must be conducted purely online until the end of the year. 

As such, some of the classes with certain conditions are allowed to return from tomorrow 1st July 2020 onwards. Here are some of the pictures showing the preparation done in Berjaya University College for the returning students and lecturers:

Welcome! but you need to check-in with the QR code by entering your body the temperature screening 

Social Distancing in the classroom - take your own notes from now on.

Can you see the cross - seat reserved

Settle down, lecture will start soon...

Don't try to poke your classmates

Some SOPs to follow.

 

That's all for now. Let us wait until the control order is lifted and you can experience the new normal yourself. Seeing is believing!

SHOCKING! Technical Problem at McDonald's (Berjaya Times Square)

This is my first time in my life to see a technical problem at McDonald's causing them to offer only Spicy Chicken, Nuggets, Porridge and Rice. According to the staff and the notice printed on all the point-of-sales machine, they are experiencing a technical problem causing them unable to offer everything except the few stated products.

All the screen went blank - nothing you can order except chicken, nuggets, rice, and porridge

Can you imagine going to McDonald's but not able to buy any burgers and my favourite 'Happy Meal'?

What could have gone wrong that causes such problem for an International franchise business?

So, without technology, does that means we cannot operate our business anymore?

What say you about this?

Computer Breakdown, Restaurant Closed

Do you know what is the impact of Information Technology (IT) can have on your business? I think the impact could be very drastic because I saw this pizza restaurant at Berjaya Times Square closed since yesterday. All the staffs are there, but there is this A4 paper placed at the center to the entrance saying 'Closed, Computer Breakdown'.

Could't take a clear shot on the notice at the center because the staffs are looking at me...anyway, it says ' CLOSE, COMPUTER BREAKDOWN'

Today I saw some technician fixing something near the cashier.

See how important is IT in business, even a pizza restaurant that serves food and beverages, cannot operate because of computer breakdown. I wonder what roles does a computer does, that can caused the entire restaurant to come to a standstill.

Is this a norm to all the F&B outlets to close if there is a problem with the Point-of-Sales (POS) or 'computer'?
