UNIVERSITY OF MALAYA (STAFF TRANSFER)(AMENDMENT) RULES, 1956

The Chief Secretary (Mr W. A. C. Goode): Sir, I have the consent of the Governor under Standing Order 33 to move the following motion,

That this Assembly, in accordance with subsection (2) of section 11 of the University of Malaya Ordinance, 1949 (No. 12 of 1949), resolves that the University of Malaya (Staff Transfer) (Amendment) Rules, 1956, published as Notification No. S 148 in the Gazette Supplement No. 33 of 10th May, 1956, as contained in Sessional Paper No. S.L. 18 of 1956, be approved.

Sir, the purpose of this motion is to seek the approval of the Assembly to the amendment which has been tabled as S.L. 18 of 1956 and the purpose of that amendment is to make special provision for the pensionable emoluments of the first holder of the post of Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at the University. This is an arrangement which I foreshadowed when some time ago in the then Legislative Council, I introduced the main Rules. I then said that it would be necessary to make special arrangements for this case. These are now being made and I seek the approval of the Assembly.

The Financial Secretary (Mr T. M. Hart): I second it.

Question put, and agreed to.

Resolved,

That this Assembly, in accordance with subsection (2) of section 11 of the University of Malaya Ordinance, 1949 (No. 12 of 1949), resolves that the University of Malaya (Staff Transfer) (Amendment) Rules, 1956, published as Notification No. S 148 in the Gazette Supplement No. 33 of 10th May, 1956, as contained in Sessional Paper No. S.L. 18 of 1956, be approved.
