18.  PIs and their students and RAs must show URGENCY in their research and delivery of KPIs  Infuse SENSE OF URGENCY to overseas collaborators  Insist on RAPID DELIVERY from Outsourcing Work  PIs and RAs must stay focused in getting papers submitted and published  Must have targeted output every week based on SHORTFALL STATUS  Acceptance of papers takes time and must be considered  All papers to meet HIR KPI must be SUBMITTED by July 2015  MoE will not accept data based on evidence of submission URGENCY SADLY LACKING – NO BUSINESS AS USUAL FROM NOW ON!

20.  Image of UM tarnished (Nationally, Internationally)  Risk a drop in University Ranking  High-End Equipment will be White Elephants  Future of PIs Affected  Future of Students and RAs uncertain Life Without HIR II
