WELCOMING SPEECH BY PRESIDENT OF SRCUTP

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

First and foremost, thank God for giving us the chance to breathe and to live until this point of time. Praise Him too that with His blessing we are here today to fulfill our responsibilities and give back to our society, religion and country.

The semester break is approaching towards the end and the new semester will begin very soon. Here, I’m Muhammad Haniff Bin Humam; President of SRCUTP 09/10 on behalf of all SRCUTP members, would like to welcome back all students to our beloved campus with new spirit to open a new chapter of semester July 2010. I also take this opportunity to congratulate all students for the effort and hard work in striving for the best in the previous semester. Good job and congratulation on your achievement.

Being a student of Universiti Teknologi Petronas put us in such a lucky position. Only few were selected to have the chance to experience the great learning environment with experienced lecturers, diversity in student’s background, comfortable lecture rooms and laboratories and many more. Let us recall the excitement that we had on the very first day of registration in UTP. We all came with high hopes and ready to fight the uphill battle. Thus, I hope that the spirit will never fade and continue to motivate us along our studies.

Together with this welcoming address, I would also like to inform students on the restructuring of SRCUTP organization. The shuffle is meant to cater the shortage of members on the board which had left for Industrial Internship Program. They are our Secretary II; Ms. Jenani Jayavalan and three Excos; Mr. Mohammad Fakrurradhi Bin Hamthan, Ms. Devarani A/P Kumarasan and Ms. Siti Sara Lyana Binti Badly Sham.

Few changes had to be made in order to replace their absence and to ensure that all positions resume its functions. The changes are;

Public Relations Department will be handled by only one Exco; Mr. Awangku Alizul Azahari. He will be balancing all the in house and inter-university relations. He will also be frequently engaging with other executives and higher managements.

Sports and Recreational Department will be coordinated by an Acting Exco; Mr. Adi Zulhilmi bin Zainal Ambri to replace the absence of both Exco I and II. He is well versed in all S&R department’s job scope as he has been priory trained by the Excos while being a Rakan Exco (committee).

I would also like to announce on the establishment of a new department which is the Clubs Development Department. This Department will be led by the previous Exco II of Public Relation; Mr. Mohd Syahmi Syazwan. This department will be tied closely to Majlis Persidangan Presiden Kelab (MPPK). The role of MPPK is to synchronize and monitor the development, events, activities and performance of all Clubs officially registered in UTP. It is basically the collaboration of all clubs in UTP led by our Vice President I; Mr. Ahmad Umair Zubir.

The members of the council who are currently undergoing Industrial Internship Program will still continue their tasks and also representing SRCUTP at their respective locations. They will be assisting and monitoring the newly appointed successor and the existing members of the council.

Now that these changes have been officially implemented, I anticipate that it will help in running the council smoothly and will continue to fuel our progress.

Lastly, I would like to express my special thanks for your support since the beginning of SRCUTP 09/10 session and wish that the support will never lose its color. As student’s rights and necessities are always our priorities, I really hope that your trust will remain by our side in attempting for the betterment.

SRCUTP wishes you all the best and have a flourish semester!


Thank You.

Welcoming Address

Assalamualaikum wbkth and Salam Sejahtera.

First and foremost, thanks to God for giving us such a precious opportunity to be in 2010 that will promise us an exciting year with a lot of new challenges. Praise to Him too that 2009 had left us with a lot of challenging and thrilling experience which will be the most valuable shinning pearl for each of us in the future.

I guess it is still not too late for me to wish all of you a Happy New Year. Let us bring delightful changes to the world in this year. A New Year should be followed by a new spirit. Shouldn’t it? What are our aims for this year? Have we achieved our target in 2009 or are we going to bring the previous goal to this New Year? Those are the things to ponder. According to Umar Al Khattab, one of the Muslim scholars, if today is better than yesterday, we are fortunate enough but if today is just the same with yesterday, we lose and if today is worst than yesterday we are even very unfortunate. So where are we?

We are lucky as we are studying here in this prestigious university provided with a lot of advance facilities. Even though we are facing with many problems such as the internet problem and consequence management but we should be grateful as our friends in other universities have to face even more serious problems. Everybody should play our roles in order to solve the problems. We have to work hand to hand to achieve what we are fighting for. In a book “360° Leadership” written by John C Maxwell one of myths that is wrong in leadership is, leader is only for those who are in the high position. However, the most effective leader is the one who can influence people around him or her in wherever position they are.

I am very glad that MPPUTP 09/10 has a very good kick-start in this New Year. We had several engagements with the related party to discuss on various issues such as the clinic service, extended yellow line near v3 café, internet service, theft and others.

The achievement that opens up MPPUTPs’ 2010 diary is the change in Consequence Managements’ Policies. We should thanks to the previous MPPUTP 2007/08 and 2008/2009 for their effort to improve the policies. Lots of students keep asking about the status of CM right now. Well, there are several things that you need to know which are:

1. This time around, the monthly allowance for students affected by first (1) and second (2) CM will not being hold.
2. CM is still for those who get 2.5 and below.
3. Those who got the third CM, sponsorship will be terminated by PETRONAS.

Let us begin the new semester with a strong courage to change and to move forward. I hope this year will bring a lot of significant changes to each of us and let us leave behind what is bad for the sake of our happiness.
I believe we will be confronting with more challenges in this year. There is a quote said
“If you sail through life, do not avoid the wind and rough waters, just let it pass and keep moving because calm waters never make skillful sailors.”

Let us help each other. MPPUTP will always be with you because we are one. As always said by Tuan Haji Mohamed Noor Rosli Bin Baharom; 1 Destiny, 1 University, 1 UTP.

Thank you.

Siswa giatkan kempen bantah e-undi

Kuala Lumpur 28 Disember │ Gabungan Mahasiswa Bantah E-Undi (BANTAH) mempertingkatkan kempennya menentang sistem pengundian berkomputer (e-undi) yang digunakan di beberapa kampus universiti awam, terbaru bakal dilaksanakan di Universiti Malaya.

Dengan kerjasama Majlis Perwakilan Mahasiswa UM (MPMUM), satu forum bagi membantah sistem tersebut dijadual diadakan di Akademi Pengajian Islam (API) pada 1 Januari ini.

Pensyarah terkenal Universiti Islam Antarabangsa (UIA) Dr Abdul Aziz Bari, wakil rakyat PKR Chang Lih Kang dan exco Persatuan Mahasiswa Islam UM Mohd Shafie Hashim akan membahaskan kontroversi tersebut pada forum ‘E-Undi dan Masa Depan Demokrasi Kampus’.


Bercakap kepada Malaysiakini pagi ini, exco MPMUM Mohd Aizat Mohd Salleh berkata forum tersebut merupakan kemuncak program BANTAH menentang sistem e-undi yang akan diperkenal pada pilihan raya kampus tersebut, pertengahan bulan depan.

BANTAH, yang diketuai Mohd Aizat, ditubuhkan atas daya usaha kumpulan siswa dari UM, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) dan Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM).

Ia diwujudkan selepas UM dan Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), yang telah melangsungkan pilihan raya kampus Oktober lalu, memperkenalkan kaedah pengundian elektronik.

Kaedah e-undi mula diperkenalkan di UPM pada 2003 dan kemudian di Universiti Islam Antarabangsa (UIA) – juga dalam suasana penuh bantahan.

Selain menerima bantahan bertubi-tubi daripada beberapa kumpulan pelajar sejak ia diperkenalkan, kumpulan pelajar UPM sendiri pernah memulaukan pilihan raya kampus mereka selama dua tahun berturut-turut pada 2005 dan 2006.

UKM, UPM, UIA dan Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) dijangka mengadakan pilihan raya kampus masing-masing bulan depan. Tiada ura-ura pelaksanaan e-undi di UKM, UTM dan Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM).

Mohd Aizat menambah, pihaknya kini sedang membuat persiapan untuk memastikan forum yang dirancang mulai 8.30 malam itu menjadi lancar.

Tambahnya, Abdul Aziz dan Chang sudah menyatakan persetujuan mereka untuk hadir.

Pensyarah Jabatan Kejuruteraan Perisian UM Dr Chiew Thiam Kian membatalkan hasratnya sebagai pembicara di forum itu atas sebab-sebab tertentu, kata Mohd Aizat.

Mulai Oktober lalu, BANTAH mengadakan kempen penerangan mereka di kampus seluruh negera, termasuk menghantar memorandum kepada Menteri Pengajian Tinggi Datuk Seri Mohamad Khaled Nordin.-malaysiakini

Mari Melabur Untuk Akhirat: Konsep Kerja dan Ibadah

“Kau nie kate nak masuk syurga, tapi ibadah tak buat. Tau kerja jer. Berapa banyak la masa yang kau peruntukkan untuk beribadat?” kata seseorang.
Dialog di atas mungkin selalu kita dengar. Bagaimana hendak masuk syurga jika kita hanya memperuntukkan masa ibadat melalui solat fardhu yang kita kerjakan.

Jika kita mengambil masa 10 minit untuk setiap kali solat, bermakna sehari kita hanya beribadat lebih kurang 50-60 minit atau dalam erti kata lain sejam. Sehari ada 24 jam dan kita hanya beribadat mengingati Allah 1/24 jam yang kita ada. Bagaimana nak masuk syurga?

Allah berfirman dalam surah Az Zariyat ayat ke 56 yang bermaksud
Sesungguhnya tidak kami jadikan jin dan manusia melainkan untuk beribadat kepada Kami
Ayat di atas menuntut kita untuk beribadat kepada Allah 24 jam tanpa henti.

“Kalo tak kerja macam mana nak dapat duit? Nak sara anak bini? Takkan nak beribadat 24 jam.”

Mungkin dialog di atas berlegar-legar di dalam kepala. Adakah Allah tidak adil?
Sesungguhnya Allah sempurna di atas sifat-sifatnya. Allah sangat menyayangi hambaNya dan sentiasa memberi hidayah kepada hambaNya yang mencari.

Ibadat tidak hanya terbatas pada perlakuan solat, puasa, zakat dan haji semata-mata malahan gelanggang ibadah bukan di solat dan di masjid sahaja. Semasa kita bekerja pun boleh dikira sebagai ibadat dan setiap titik peluh kita ketika bekerja hatta ketika TIDUR, MANDI DAN MAKAN JUGA boleh dikira sebagai ibadat. Bagaimana?
Ibadat terbahagi kepada 3 iaitu ibadah asas (fardhu ain), ibadat sunat (fadhailul ‘amal) dan ibadat umum.

Apa pulak ibadat umum ini?
Ibadat umum ialah seluruh perlakuan, tindakan dan aktiviti-aktiviti selain daripada ibadah asas dan sunat. Ia merangkumi kerja kita di pejabat, tapak projek dan sebagainya.

Jadi segala kerja yang kita lakukan dikira sebagai ibadah dan mendapat pahala disisi Allah?



Ya jika mematuhi beberapa syarat ibadah…

Syarat ibadah:

1. Hendaklah pekerjaan itu dilaksanakan dengan niat yang ikhlas kerana Allah contohnya Aku bekerja untuk mendapat rezeki yang halal kerana Allah menuntutku mencari rezeki yang halal.

2. Dilaksanakan bertepatan atau tidak bertentangan dengan sunah Rasulullah SAW.
Yakni tiada unsur yang diharamkan seperti rasuah, tidak menutup aurat dan tidak meninggalkan ibadah-ibadah asas contoh solat fardhu tidak dilengah-lengahkan.

“Tak paham la niat ikhlas kerana Allah. Kalo kita niat untuk mencari rezeki, sara keluarga pun niat yang baik jugak. Boleh tak?”

Ya, niat mencari rezeki, sara keluarga, berbakti kepada masyrakat dan negara merupakan antara niat yang baik. Namun, jika setakat itu tahap niat kita apa beza dengan orang bukan Islam. Kita perlu sentiasa niatkan kerana Allah.

Ambil contoh kita tidur. Tidur bagaimana dikira sebagai ibadat?
Orang lain tidur untuk berehat sahaja. Semua orang akan berniat begitu. Bagi orang Islam kita perlu niat yang lebih baik dari itu dan menepati syarat kerana Allah iaitu Niatkan untuk berehat dan mendapatkan kembali tenaga untuk beribadah kepada Allah.

Rasulullah SAW bersabda
Sesungguhnya setiap amalan itu bermula dengan niat – Riwayat al-Bukhari dan Muslim

P/s- Jangan jadikan agama sebagai pilihan tetapi jadikan agama sebagai kemestian. Be a FULL-TIME Muslim not a PART-TIME MUSLIM. We are here for hereafter.
