1.0 – Overview of Kompleks Kebajikan Hamidah

Kompleks Kebajikan Hamidah (in English, Hamidah Orphanage Complex), located at Taman Desa Indah 3, Permyjaya, Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia is an orphanage center primarily for Muslim children. In line with its motto which is “Orphans’ Welfare is our Shared Responsibility”, currently there are 92 children under the roof with the assistance and guidance from 16 staffs. Lead by Puan Hajjah Juliyanah binti Abdul Hamid, PERYATIM General Manager, the complex consists of amenities such as separate hostels for boys and girls, dining hall, prayer hall, seminar room, study room, computer room and library and playing fields for children’s convenience.

Under the same management of PERYATIM through Lembaga Kebajikan Yayasan Anak Yatim Sarawak (LKYAS), it has another sister in Kuching called Kompleks Kebajikan Laila Taib. The complex is named after the late Datuk Amar Puan Seri Laila Taib, the late wife of current Sarawak Chief Minister. She also was the Chairperson of PERYATIM since 1993. In addition, PERYATIM will be having another two orphanage complexes in Sibu as well as Bintulu to cater the increasing demand of orphanage placement from Sarawak community. Currently, there are about 400 orphans in Miri and Kuching complexes.

Initially, this orphanage home is located at two of the rented shop lots in Taman Bumiko, Miri. Around January 2008, the center has moved to Permyjaya area where the current location is. This relocation is due to the increase in number of children being taken care of and a need to have a larger space for orphans’ convenience. This relocation can be done primarily because of donation from the public.

Typical annual cost for one orphanage under PERYATIM is at least RM 400,000 depending to its capacity. Currently, the annual cost for both Miri and Kuching branches is about RM 1.4 million. As a whole, PERYATIM receives about RM 30,000 from Sarawak State Government and RM 100,000 from Federal Government. Therefore, it is more than 80% of the fund required comes from public and external bodies. From this fact, the donations from the public, NGOs as well as private and corporate sectors are crucial and significant. And thus, any donation channels to this orphanage complex must be spread among the Malaysian community.

PERYATIM is now focusing to develop an orphanage complex in Sibu. After having predicaments finding the suitable land, eventually, one prominent community leader in Sibu, Temenggong Datuk Wan Hamid Edruce donated his 10-acre land for the development. The total cost of the development will be around RM 6 millions inclusive of bus and furnishing. The Chairman of PERYATIM, Datuk Daud Abdul Rahman who is also a Islamic Religion Minister of Sarawak, said RM 6 millions came from general public, corporate bodies and non-government organizations (NGO). Out of it, RM 5 millions is collected from a fund-raising dinner alone. The capacity of the complex can hold up to 200 children.

3.0 – Range of Activities
Currently, there are 92 children living in Kompleks Kebajikan Hamidah ranging from 8 to 17 years old. Out of this number, 40 are male children while another 52 are female children. Their origin comes from many places in Sarawak inclusive of Miri, Limbang, Mukah Bekenu and Lambir.

Typically, they have two session of schooling; one in the Morning, while the other in the Evening. Thus, during the day, most of the time they are at school. Actually, they go to different school inclusive schools in Tudan, Pujut Corner, Lutong, Piasau and Merbau. While, they used to play games such as football and futsal in the evening. Sometimes, my friends from the society go there playing with them. Or, they are simply having a chat with each other. In addition, while having many sponsors and events by outsiders, they themselves giving their hands to the public as an appreciation. For instance, they did cleaning work at Masjid At-Taqwa, Miri on March 15, 2009. The following day they went to Masjid Kampung Luak.

On November 11, 2008, Emart (a shopping center in Permyjaya, Miri) organized a donation program by putting 10 donation boxes around the shopping mall during fasting month. As a result, they managed to collect and donate RM 1113.35 to the orphanage. In return, as an appreciation, the children helped to wrapped the shopping stuffs at the cashier counters on March 16, 2009. Recently, they also have Palestine Roadshow presented by Yayasan Amal Malaysia on January 22, 2009 at the complex. Furthermore, they have the teams of performing tahlil and zikir (Remembrance to God), nasyid (Islamic Songs), dancing as well as pantomime to be presented to public upon requested. Moreover, there are two kind-hearted doctors who are coming in weekly basis. One comes on Wednesday providing health check-ups as well as medicines. While, the other doctor comes on Saturday donating breads, milk and desserts.

4.0 – Specific Project (Tuition)
-taken out from the original text-

Even though, this orphanage is mainly for Muslim children, they are different races and coming from different places. As this orphanage is a multi-racial community which is a good place to nurture the national integration among new generation which is teenagers. However, PERYATIM is planning to allocate 10% to 20% of the placement to non-Muslims to form greater unity, understanding and tolerance among Sarawakians. This announcement is made by Sarawak Chief Minister, Pehin Sri Haji Abdul Taib Mahmud during the announcement of the land for PERYATIM orphanage in Sibu. As a Malay idiom says “melentur buluh biarlah dari rebungnya” (simply means, young minds is easier to nurture), to cultivate the sense of national integration, it is best when our target group is still young. In addition, having all poor orphans under one management or location, the national development can be delivered efficiently to help them as through PERYATIM, these children can be developed physically, emotionally, spiritually and intellectually under one roof with the efficient and visionary management system. For the information, this year (2009), there are two students being accepted in Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) to undergo Electrical Engineering course. Therefore, Kompleks Kebajikan Hamidah is a good social system to implement national integration and development since young age.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Curtin Islamic Society and other viewers !

It has been 60 years since Nakbah by Israel-Zionis gangsters towards Palestine people and land. Death, Blood, Screams, Cries, Gunshots, Bombs and many others terms can be associated with this “war”. For the last two weeks until now, this catastrophe is becoming worse. This article is written as a simple guide by giving focus on what are the realistic and practical ways we can manifest our true and sincere faith towards returning the land to Palestinians from Israel-Zionis.

ONE | Consistent and Sincere Do’a (Supplication) for Palestinians’ victory and Zionis’ loss in any language anytime anywhere. Simple Example: Allahummansur ikhwananal mujahidina fi filisthin (Oh Allah, help our brothers and sisters in fighting for Islam (jihad) in Palestine)

TWO | Boycott all products from Zionis-supported companies. The reliable list can be found at http://inminds.co.uk/boycott-israel.php. There are also the facts with references supporting the claims in the website. Far more important, stop SMOKING as two main financial sources of Zionis are coming from cigarette and insurance industries.

THREE | Donate our money sincerely for Palestinians via trusted agents or NGOs such as Aman Palestin. Donation: BIMB 12029010047880 -OR- MayBank 562263010787. Management Donation: Muamalat 12070005133717. More details about Aman Palestin. Or simply consult one of the CIS committees for donation, we’ll forward yours to Aman Palestin.

FOUR | Spread our stands, news and information to everyone about these illegal occupation and terrorism acts by Zionis via campaign, demonstration, articles, blogs, email and any other means of communication. Sources of Information: Aman Palestin, Palestinkini, Infopalestina and many other reliable sites.

FIVE | Recite Do’a of Qunut Nazilah as this is a special doa when our Ummah is under trouble (Kutub wa Rasa’il li al-Uthaymin 116/53-54) during each Solah Fardhu (Syarhus Sunnah , Al-Baghawi 2/279) after(preferred)/before I’tidal (al-Majmu’, 3/482). The do’a can be anything (al-Majmu’, 3/497) in line with the do’a for the Palestinian’s victory but must be in Arabic as it is still in solah. The sample shown below is the one recited by Ibnu Umar (al-BAihaqi 2/210). The do’a must be recited loud either in jahr or sir prayers (al-Sharh al-Mumthi, 4/47).

Let us do these simple FIVE actions to help our ikhwan in Palestine. Spread this article.

DO’A + BOYCOTT + DONATE + CAMPAIGN + QUNUT NAZILAH
