bidang kesihatan yang dijalankan bersama Pusat Pakar Mata Bangi dan Persatuan Pakar Mata Malaysia (Malaysian Society for Ophthalmologists). Ia mendapat sambutan hangat daripada rakyat khususnya golongan miskin disebabkan masalah kesihatan mata dan juga penyakit lain. Seramai 1300 rakyat Terengganu menerima pemeriksaan mata pada Hari Penglihatan Sedunia yang dianjurkan di Kuala Terengganu pada 14-15 Oktober 2017 dan beberapa orang dikenalpasti untuk menjalani pendedahan mata yang segera.

• ProgramMemperkasakanEkonomi Keluarga Nelayan Miskin: Program baharu ini di bawah tajaan syarikat minyak dan gas, Repsol Malaysia, ditujukan kepada para isteri nelayan miskin supaya menceburi bidang perniagaan berasaskan ikan atau sumber laut. Para peserta melibatkan diri dalam pembuatan produk-produk yang berpotensi pasaran seperti sate ikan, naget ikan, surimi, dan sebagainya.

• ProgramPembangunanModal Insan Tingkat Tinggi dalam bidang strategik: Penganugerahan Biasiswa DiRaja sumbangan KDYMM Tuanku Sultan Mizan sendiri adalah untuk Ijazah PhD dalam bidang kewangan Islam dan bidang sains kelestarian, dua bidang yang

boleh dianggap strategik bagi masa depan masyarakat dan negara. Calon PhD pertama yang menerima Biasiswa DiRaja telah dihantar ke luar negara, iaitu di United Kingdom untuk mengikuti bidang pengkhususan kewangan Islam dan akan tamat dalam sedikit masa lagi. Calon kedua juga telah dipilih. Beliau mengikuti kursus sains kelestarian di Universiti Teknologi Malaysia yang bekerjasama dengan sebuah universiti di Jepun.

Selain empat program di atas, TINTA juga membuat liputan mengenai usaha menambah nilai program-program yang sedia ada dan sedang berjalan. Di sini, ada dua program ditonjolkan. Pertama, Program Senikraf Warisan yang telah dijalankan oleh YDSM selama satu dekad. Selama ini, pelatih-pelatih dan mentor program menjadikan bengkel atau pusat latihan masing-masing sebagai tempat menimba ilmu, kemahiran dan pengalaman dalam pembuatan kraf masing-masing. Mereka tidak memperoleh sebarang pendedahan kepada pengalaman tempat lain dan mentor lain. Pada Oktober 2017, YDSM mengambil langkah baharu dan mengubah keadaan ini dengan julung kalinya menganjurkan lawatan sambil belajar bagi 20 orang pelatih serta tiga orang mentor mereka. Mereka telah melawat Institut Kraf Negara di Rawang, Selangor, Kompleks Kraf di

Syukur Alhamdulillah, TINTA dapat menemui para pembaca sekali lagi menerusi keluaran terbaharu ini. Selain memberi liputan kepada beberapa program yang lazim dilaksanakan seperti Program Pengukuhan Bahasa Inggeris dan Arab, Bantuan Fakir Miskin, Agihan Bubur Lambuk Bulan Ramadhan, Majlis Rumah Terbuka Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Ibadah Qurban, dan sebagainya, TINTA kali ini memberi tumpuan kepada beberapa program baharu yang diperkenal dan dilaksanankan oleh Yayasan DiRaja Sultan Mizan (YDSM) bagi manfaat rakyat khususnya mereka di Terengganu. Di sini, kita mengetengahkan empat Program baharu iaitu:

• ProgramPembangunanUsahawan Madu Kelulut: Program ini khas untuk membangun usahawan mikro dalam kalangan ibu tunggal dan gadis dengan kerjasama ExxonMobil. Program ini menggantikan program usahatani cendawan yang dilaksanakan semenjak 2008. Perusahaan madu kelulut didapati mempunyai potensi yang baik berbanding madu biasa untuk memajukan taraf sosioekonomi para pengusaha kerana produk-produknya mempunyai permintaan pasaran yang tinggi.

• ProgramHariPenglihatanSedunia & Pembedahan/Rawatan Mata: Ini suatu program baharu dalam

Kuala Lumpur, serta Royal Selangor Pewter. Lawatan ini memberi impak yang positif khususnya dari segi membuka minda mengenai inovasi dalam produk kraf serta meningkatkan motivasi dan semangat para peserta.

Kedua, Yayasan juga mengadakan Program Membangun Kecemerlangan Insan. Program ini berupa majlis pencerahan minda dan motivasi, perkongsian pengalaman dan pengetahuan antara para peserta, serta majlis memberi pengiktirafan kepada ‘Peserta Terbaik’ dalam program masing-masing. Program sebegini didapati memang berguna untuk memupuk hubungan erat dan membina jaringan antara para peserta sesama mereka khususnya mereka yang terlibat dalam bidang perniagaan. Ia juga meningkatkan rasa kekitaan antara mereka dan YDSM yang membolehkan YDSM memantau keadaan masing-masing secara berterusan.

TINTA berharap para pembaca akan mendapat manfaat dengan mengikuti laporan-laporan mengenai pelbagai program Yayasan. Diharap mereka juga bersedia untuk membuat sumbangan dalam bentuk wang dan sebagainya kepada Yayasan agar Yayasan berupaya menjayakan pelbagai programnya dengan lebih berkesan.

LIDAH PENGARANG

By the Grace of Allah, TINTA is able to meet its readers again through this latest issue. TINTA has been giving coverage to a number of regular programmes undertaken by YDSM such as the Enhancement Programme for English and Arabic, Aid for the Poor, Distribution of ‘Bubur Lambuk’ (Malay Traditional Porridge) During Ramadhan, Hari Raya Open House, Ibadah Qurban, and others. Nevertheless, in this issue, TINTA focuses on a number of new programmes for the benefit of the people, especially those in Terengganu, as listed below:

• StinglessBeeHoneyEnterprise Development: This programme is specifically meant to nurture micro-entrepreneurs among single mothers and young girls with the cooperation of ExxonMobil. This programme succeeds the mushroom farming which was implemented since 2008, also under the ExxonMobil sponsorship. The stingless bee honey enterprise is considered as having greater market potential compared to other types of honey, and is expected to have a greater impact in uplifting the socioeconomic status of the participants.

• CelebratingWorldSightDay and Performing Eye Surgery/Treatment: This is a new health programme implemented jointly with the Bangi Eye Specialist Centre

EDITORIAL and the Malaysian Society for Ophthalmologists. This initiative is warmly received by the people especially the poor due to their eye problem and other diseases. Some 1300 people of Terengganu underwent eye screening on the World Sight Day held in Kuala Terengganu on 14-15 October 2017, and a few were identified for subsequent eye surgery.

• ProgrammetoUplifttheSocioeconomic Status of Poor Fishermen Families: This new programme is sponsored by the O&G company, Repsol Malaysia, and is targeted at the wives of poor fishermen who would be involved in the production of fish-based products. The latter would consist of fish satay, fish nudgets, surimi, etc. that have stronger market potentials.

• ProgrammetoNurtureHighQuality/Level Human Capital in strategic fields: YDSM put on offer Royal Scholarships donated by HRH Sultan Mizan himself for top students to undertake a PhD programme in Islamic finance and sustainability science, two fields that are strategic and of special significance for the country’s future. The first PhD recipient of the Royal Scholarship, was sent to the United Kingdom to undertake a specialised course in Islamic finance and will complete it successfully in a short while. A second Royal Scholar has also been chosen. She is following the programme in sustainability science offered by Universiti

Teknologi Malaysia that collaborates with a university in Japan.

Besides the above, TINTA also provides coverage to reports of efforts that add value to existing programmes. Two programmes are highlighted here. First is the Heritage Crafts Programme that has been conducted by YDSM for a decade. In the main, the trainees and their mentors only confine themselves to the workshop or centres where they do their training to gain knowledge, skills and experience on craft making. They did not have a chance of exposure to other places and other mentors. This was changed in October 2017, when YDSM took the first step to organise a study tour by bringing 20 of its trainees and three mentors along. They visited the National Crafts Institute in Rawang, Selangor, the Crafts Complex in Kuala Lumpur, and the Royal Selangor Pewter. This study visit had a positive impact namely in opening up the minds of the trainees and mentors regarding innovation in craft making and products as well as in strengthening their motivation and resolve for success.

Second, YDSM also organises a Programme to Nurture Excellence in Human Capital Development. Under this programme, the Foundation organised a special session to serve as a platform to raise awareness and motivation, knowledge and experience sharing among YDSM programme participants, as well as an occasion to give due

recognition to the Top Trainees from their respective programmes. Such a programme is certainly useful to strengthen relationships and build networking among participants especially those involved in business, as well as to enhance the sense of ownership among them and their relations with YDSM which will facilitate the Foundation in its monitoring efforts.

It is our hope that our readers will benefit from these reports regarding YDSM’s programmes. It is also our sincere hope that they will continue to support the Foundation by making contribution in cash and other forms, so that we can continue to conduct our programmes more effectively.

YDSM AGIH BUBUR LAMBUK RAMADHAN UNTUK RAKYAT TERENGGANUBubur Lambuk Yayasan DiRaja Sultan Mizan (YDSM) menjadi penantian orang ramai, khususnya di masjid-masjid pilihan yang menjadi tempat agihan, sepanjang Ramadhan yang lalu. Program Agihan Bubur percuma ini antara salah satu kegiatan amal tahunan yang dilaksanakan oleh YDSM yang kini telah memasuki tahun kesembilan penganjurannya pada 2017. Bubur Lambuk yang disediakan ini menajdi begitu sinonim dengan YDSM sehingga mendapat sambutan yang amat menggalakkan daripada masyarakat setempat.

Menurut Pengerusi Program, Dato’ Haji Mohd Fadzli bin Yusof, saban tahun sambutan dan permintaan bubur lambuk yang diagihkan oleh YDSM semakin meningkat dan YDSM turut menerima permohonan daripada beberapa buah masjid lain agar agihannya diperluaskan ke kawasan mereka.

“Alhamdulillah, YDSM berpeluang untuk meneruskan program agihan bubur lambuk pada tahun ini. Ucapan syukur dipanjatkan kepada Allah SWT kerana pada tahun ini ada pihak yang menyumbang terus untuk program ini sehinggakan ianya mampu dijalankan secara meluas yang melibatkan beberapa buah masjid di Marang, Hulu Terengganu dan Dungun. Insyaa Allah, dengan berkat sumbangan yang berterusan, YDSM sedang memikirkan untuk menambah jumlah bubur lambuk di setiap masjid yang terlibat pada tahun hadapan. Jika sumbangan yang diterima juga semakin banyak, mugkin kita perluaskan ke masjid-masjid

yang belum terlibat sebelum ini.” jelasnya ketika ditemui oleh wakil TINTA selepas selesai mempengerusikan mesyuarat program-program YDSM di Pejabat Yayasan DiRaja Sultan Mizan.

Meneruskan tradisi sebelumnya, peserta program mikro-usahawan yang dipupuk oleh YDSM, Tuan Haji Tajuddin bin Adam terus diberikan kepercayaan untuk menyediakan juadah bubur lambuk berkenaan. Beliau yang berpengalaman luas dalam penyediaan bubur lambuk dan juga merupakan salah seorang yang pernah diberi bantuan zakat perniagaan YDSM sepuloh tahun lalu, dan kini menjadi seorang usahawan mikro yang berjaya sehinggakan mampu memperbaiki sosio ekonomi keluarga beliau ke tahap yang lebih baik. Kejayaan yang diperolehi oleh beliau adalah sejajar dengan matlamat YDSM dalam memperkasakan sosio ekonomi golongan miskin melalui bantuan dan bimbingan yang berterusan.

“Syukur Alhamdulillah dan terima kasih kepada pihak YDSM kerana sekali lagi memberi kepercayaan kepada saya dalam menyediakan juadah bubur lambuk pada tahun ini. Sesungguhnya kejayaan dan apa yang saya miliki pada hari ini adalah rezeki yang dikurniakan oleh Allah SWT.” Katanya ketika ditemui oleh wakil TINTA semasa Program Agihan Bubur Lambuk yang turut disertai oleh kakitangan YDSM dan Jawatankuasa Agihan Zakat YDSM di Pekarangan Masjid Abidin (Masjid Negeri) Kuala Terengganu.

Tuan Haji Tajuddin pernah muncul sebagai juara dalam pertandingan bubur lambuk seluruh Malaysia anjuran TV9 pada tahun 2013.

Ketika TINTA membuat tinjauan semasa agihan bubur lambuk di Pekarangan Masjid Abidin (Masjid Negeri) dan Al-Muktafi Billah Shah, Kuala Terengganu, orang ramai dilihat mula beratur panjang selepas solat asar bagi menunggu agihan bubur lambuk berkenaan. Selain itu, terdapat Masjid Hiliran, Kuala Terengganu, Masjid Tengku Ampuan Intan Zaharah di Daerah Dungun dan Masjid Sultan Mahmud, Kuala Berang bagi Daerah Hulu Terengganu turut terlibat dengan program ini. Bubur lambuk yang diagihkan oleh YDSM diakui istimewa dari segi ramuannya yang lazat dan tahan lama sehingga mampu bertahan untuk dibuat juadah bersahur.

Selaras dengan matlamat YDSM untuk mengekal dan mewariskan ilmu dan kemahiran dalam penyediaan bubur lambuk ini, seorang tukang masak iaitu Encik Mohammed Musa bin Haji Tajuddin telah dilantik untuk menyedia dan mengendalikan agihan bubur lambuk bagi daerah Dungun di bawah bimbingan dan tunjuk ajar Tuan Haji Tajuddin.

Adalah diharapkan Program ini diteruskan lagi untuk masa yang akan datang. Sehubungan dengan itu, Jawatankuasa Agihan Zakat YDSM menyeru semua pihak: perseorangan mahupun korporat agar sama-sama menyumbang bagi pembiayaan Program ini agar tradisinya terus berkekalan.

YDSM DISTRIBUTES BUBUR LAMBUK (TRADITIONAL MALAY PORRIDGE) DURING RAMADHAN FOR THE TERENGGANU PEOPLE ‘Bubur Lambuk’ (traditional Malay porridge) distributed by YDSM is much awaited by members of the public, especially in selected mosques that served as centres for distribution during the month of Ramadhan. The free distribution of ‘bubur lambuk’ is one of the annual charity events of YDSM that has entered its ninth year in 2017. This ‘Bubur Lambuk’ has become synonymous with YDSM which received a very good response from members of the community.

According to Dato’ Haji Mohd Fadzli bin Yusof, chairman of the programme, every year the demand for ‘bubur lambuk’ distributed by YDSM keeps on increasing. In fact, YDSM received requests from a number of other mosques so that they can benefit from ‘bubur lambuk’ distribution in their locality.

Speaking to TINTA, Dato’ Fadzli said, “Alhamdulillah, YDSM is able to continue with thus programme to distribute ‘bubur lambuk’ this year. Thanks to Allah SWT because this year we have some charitable persons who are prepared to make contribution to this programme. This enabled YDSM to extend the activity to include other mosques such as those in Marang, Hulu Terengganu and Dungun. God willing, YDSM is planning to proceed with the distribution of bubur lambuk in each of these mosques next year. If we continue to receive more contribution, we might extend the activity to other mosques that have not been part of the programme.”

As in the past, Tuan Haji Tajuddin bin Adam has been given the task to prepare the ‘bubur lambuk’. He is a very experienced chef as far as the

preparation of ‘bubur lambuk’ is concerned. Indeed, he was one of the recipients of the YDSM ‘zakat perniagaan’ (zakat distribution to start business) since ten years ago, and today he is a successful micro-businessman who has succeeded in improving his life and the socioeconomic status of his family. His success is in keeping with the YDSM’s objective of empowering the socioeconomic status of the poor through such assistance and continuous supervision.

“Thanks to Allah and to YDSM for again giving me the trust in the preparation of ‘bubur lambuk’ this year. In reality, my success and whatever I have today is the ‘rezeki’ (gift) granted by Allah SWT,” said Hj Tajuddin when approached by TINTA at Masjid Abidin (Masjid Negeri) Kuala Terengganu where the porridge was being distributed.

Haji Tajuddin in fact emerged as the overall champion in the ‘Bubur Lambuk Competition’ for the whole of Malaysia organised by TV9 in 2013.

When TINTA visited both Masjid Abidin (Masjid Negeri) and Masjid Al-Muktafi Billah Shah in Kuala Terengganu,

members of the public were seen queuing up after the Asr prayers to receive the ‘bubur lambuk’ packets. Besides these, other participating mosques included Masjid Hiliran, Kuala Terengganu, Masjid Tengku Ampuan Intan Zaharah in Dungun and Masjid Sultan Mahmud Kuala Berang in Hulu Terengganu. YDSM’s ‘bubur lambuk’ is regarded as ‘special’ not only in terms of its condiments but also taste. It also lasts for longer hours and can be eaten for ‘sahur’ (pre-dawn meal).

In keeping with YDSM’s objectives to ensure that local knowledge and skills in ‘bubur lambuk’ making can be passed on to the new generation, another chef, Encik Mohammed Musa bin Haji Tajuddin, has been appointed to prepare ‘bubur lambuk’ for the Dungun district. He is also under the supervision and guidance of Haji Tajuddin himself.

It is hoped that this Programme will be continued in the future. In this regard, the YDSM Zakat Distribution Committee calls for generous donations from the corporate sector and also from the public.

Sesungguhnya Majlis Mesra Hari Raya Aidilfitri YDSM ini merupakan pentas bagi YDSM memperlihat dan memperagakan pelbagai program dan projek kemasyarakatan yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan taraf hidup peserta-pesertanya.

Also on display were clothes such as dresses and others produced by participants of the YDSM sowing programme. Another interesting addition, we have for this year a booth for the trainees of the YDSM Pastry Course to display the pastries they have learnt to make in their training. This is a new programme introduced by YDSM with the cooperation of

HRH Tuanku Sultan and HRH Tuanku Sultanah consented to visit the booths and interact with the participants. Among the cuisines for the ocassion were mushroom soup, keropok lekor, fish satay, fried mee, nasi kerabu, cakes and Terengganu traditional delicacies. Both the Royal Highnesses tasted a number of the delicacies during their walk-about at the booths.

As part of the Hari Raya celebration, YDSM presented ‘duit raya’ to all children present. The latter were so happy with the gifts as could be seen from their glittering faces and eyes.

To entertain the guests, music and songs were played by members of the Terengganu

Communication Unit (UKOM). The guests enjoyed the music and songs as they feted themselves.

The Open House started at 11.00 a.m. and lasted until 2.00 p.m.

The Hari Raya Open House serves as a platform for YDSM to showcase their projects and programmes aimed at improving the socioeconomic conditions of the people. The Open House also serves as a bridge to forge closer ties between HRH Tuanku Sultan as Chairman of YDSM and HRH Tuanku Sultanah with people from various walks of life in keeping with the slogan ‘Raja dan Rakyat Berpisah Tiada’ (The bonds between Raja and Rakyat are indivisible). It is hoped that such function will continue to be organised in future.

IBADAH QURBAN YDSM Ibadah Qurban merupakan ibadah yang amat dituntut dalam Islam sempena dengan Hari Raya Aidil Adha. Justeru, meneruskan dengan amalan ini, Yayasan DiRaja Sultan Mizan (YDSM) terus menganjurkan Majlis Ibadah Qurban yang kini telah memasuki tahun ke empat penganjurannya.

Majlis Ibadah Qurban YDSM merupakan salah satu program sosio ekonomi dibawah tanggungjawab dan kelolaan Jawatankuasa Agihan Zakat YDSM (JAZ). Pada tahun ini JAZ telah menetapkan bahawa program tersebut dilaksanakan di Masjid Bukit Payong, Marang, Terengganu Darul Iman pada hari raya pertama AidilAdha iaitu pada 1 September 2017 bersamaan 10 Zulhijjah 1437 Hijrah. Sehubungan dengan itu, beberapa siri mesyuarat bersama pihak Jawatankuasa Masjid Bukit Payong telah diadakan bagi membincangkan persiapannya agar program

tersebut dapat dijalankan dengan lancar.

Pada kali ini, kira-kira 250 bungkusan daging qurban telah diagihkan kepada fakir miskin yang tinggal dikawasan sekitar Bukit Payong dan sebahagian daging qurban juga dimasak sup yang dihidangkan bersama roti Perancis untuk jamuan para hadirin dan jemaah masjid.

Menurut Ahli Lembaga Pemegang Amanah YDSM, Yang Berbahagia Dato’ Haji Mohd Fadzli bin Yusof, pada tahun ini sekali lagi Kebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Al Wathiqu Billah Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Ibni Al Marhum Sultan Mahmud Al Muktafi Billah Shah, selaku Pengerusi YDSM berkenan mengurniakan seekor lembu untuk majlis tersebut. Disamping itu, YDSM turut menyumbang tiga ekor lembu untuk dikorbankan hasil penyertaan beberapa individu dan ahli keluarga masing-masing termasuk Ahli-Ahli ALPA

sendiri. Manakala penyertaan dari pihak Jemaah Masjid adalah tiga ekor lembu.

“Alhamdulillah, syukur ke hadrat Ilahi kerana YDSM sekali lagi berpeluang menganjurkan ibadah qurban ini dalam suasana penuh kesyukuran dan meriah bersama-sama masyarakat setempat di Bukit Payong ini. Adalah diharapkan ianya sedikit sebanyak menjadi dorongan dan membuka minda masyarakat khususnya umat Islam untuk bersama-sama melakukan ibadah qurban kerana ianya merupakan antara saluran sumbangan yang boleh dilakukan secara langsung kepada golongan yang kurang bernasib baik” jelas YBhg. Dato’ Mohd Fadzli yang ditemui semasa pembahagian daging qurban kepada fakir miskin di Majlis tersebut.

Menurut Pengerusi Masjid Bukit Payong, Encik Mohamad Zakri bin Jaafar, beliau melahirkan penghargaan dan terima kasih

kepada YDSM kerana sekali lagi telah memilih Masjid Bukit Payong sebagai lokasi Majlis Ibadah Qurban tahun ini.

“Pihak Masjid amat menghargai dan berterima kasih kepada YDSM kerana sering kali memilih masjid ini bagi penganjuran beberapa program dan aktiviti amalnya seperti program Ibadah Qurban, Program Agihan Bubur Lambuk pada setiap bulan Ramadhan, Forum Perdana dan Program Klinik Nasihat Guaman Bergerak (KESUMA)”. Katanya ketika ditemui di majlis tersebut.

Lebih menarik, buat julung kalinya program berkenaan turut melibatkan kerjasama daripada Angkatan Pertahanan Awam (APM) Terengganu bersama-sama sukarelawan APM. Dalam memastikan kelancaran program ini, YDSM telah memperuntukan RM10,170.00 termasuk penyediaan baju dan tuala program, makan dan minum untuk petugas yang terlibat.

YDSM PARTICIPATES IN IBADAH QURBAN Ibadah Qurban (slaughter of animals) is a religious ritual which is in keeping with Islamic tenets on the ocassion of Hari Raya Aidil Adha. In keeping with this tradition, YDSM continues to organise the practice of Qurban which now enters its fourth year.

This “Qurban Ceremony” is a socioeconomic programme under the charge of the Zakat Distribution Committee of YDSM. This year, the Committee chose to hold it in Masjid Bukit Payong, Marang, Terengganu on the first day of AidilAdha, i.e., on 1 September 2017 (or 10 Zulhijjah 1437 Hijrah). A number of meetings between YDSM and the Mosque Committee were held prior to the event to ensure the smooth running of the ceremony.

At this ceremony, about 250 packets of beef were distributed to the poor in the community of Bukit Payung. At the same time, part of the Qurban beef was prepared as soup to be easten with French bread by the guests at the mosque.

According to Dato’ Haji Mohd Fadzli, YDSM Board Member, this year, HRH Sultan Mizan contributed again in his capacity as YDSM Chairman a cattle for the Qurban. YDSM on its part contributed three other cattle for the Qurban – these being contributed by a number of individuals and

their families including YDSM Board Members. Members of the Bukit Payung Muslim community contributed another three cattle.

“Alhamdulillah, thanks to Allah, YDSM once again is able to organise the Ibadah Qurban together with the local community in Bukit Payong. It is hoped that this will open the minds and motivate the community especially Muslims to participate in the ibadah qurban; this is a form of direct assistance to the poor and the unfortunate,” said Dato’ Mohd Fadzli when approached by TINTA at the Qurban ceremony while he was distributing the meat to the needy at the Bukit Payung mosque.

Encik Mohamad Zakri bin Jaafar, Chairman of the Bukit Payung Mosque Committee, expressed his appreciation and thanks to YDSM for once again selecting Bukit Payong as the location to perform the Ibadah Qurban ceremony this year.

“The Mosque Committee really appreciates and thanks YDSM for choosing our Mosque as the location to organise a number of its socio-religious programmes and activities such as Ibadah Qurban, Bubur Lambuk distribution during the Fasting Month of Ramadhan, Grand Forum on Islam, and the Legal Advice Programme (KESUMA).” He said these words when approached at

the ceremony.

It is noted that for the first time, this programme received the support and cooperation of the Terengganu Civil Defence Force (APM) together with their

volunteers. YDSM set aside RM10,170.00 to cover various costs, including T-shirt and towels for the programme, as well as food and refreshments for the crew involved in the Qurban activities.

Madu adalah antara makanan sunnah yang diakui mempunyai banyak khasiat. Penyelidikan sains dan perubatan moden telah membuktikan pelbagai khasiatnya. Malaysia termasuk Terengganu menghasilkan pelbagai jenis madu. Salah satunya ialah madu kelulut. Madu kelulut terhasil daripada lebah kelulut iaitu sejenis lebah tanpa sengat yang biasanya boleh ditemui di kebanyakan kawasan tropika dunia, seperti Australia, Afrika, Asia Tenggara, dan kawasan tropika Amerika. Dikatakan juga bahawa terdapat kira-kira 500 spesies lebah kelulut di seluruh dunia.

Lebah kelulut (stingless bee dalam Bahasa Inggeris), berfungsi sebagai ejen pendebungaan di hutan-hutan dan kebanyakan spesies buah-buahan, bunga-bungaan, sayur-sayuran dan tanaman lain. Lebah kelulut ini menyimpan madu yang terhasil dalam tempayan-tempayan kecil. Madu ini berwarna putih dan lebih

masam berbanding madu yang dihasil oleh lebah lain.

Menurut kajian yang dijalankan oleh Institut Penyelidikan dan Kemajuan Pertanian Malaysia (MARDI), madu kelulut mengandungi asik fenolik yang bermanfaat kepada manusia. Selain itu, madu ini juga mempunyai kandungan antioksidan yang lebih tinggi berbanding madu biasa.

Kelebihan tersebut menyebabkan ia mempunyai permintaan yang tinggi dan banyak digunakan oleh masyarakat terutamanya dalam pembuatan produk kecantikan dan penjagaan kulit.

Memandangkan industri madu kelulut berpotensi besar dari segi nilai komersial, Yayasan Diraja Sultan Mizan (YDSM) dengan kerjasama ExxonMobil Exploration And Production Malaysia Inc (ExxonMobil) telah menganjurkan kursus usahawan produk madu kelulut

di Taman Pertanian Sekayu, Hulu Terengganu pada 18-20 September 2017. Kursus ini disertai seramai 26 orang peserta yang terdiri daripada golongan ibu tunggal dan beliawanis.

Program yang diadakan selama tiga hari dua malam tersebut merupakan salah satu inisiatif untuk meningkatkan peluang dan penglibatan golongan wanita dalam bidang ekonomi mikro usaha pembangunan kemahiran. Dalam kursus itu, para peserta ditunjuk ajar bagaimana hendak menjaga dan menguruskan “rumah kelulut” yang menghasilkan madu serta kaedah mengeluar atau menyedut madu dari tempayan-tempayannya. Selain itu mereka juga ditunjuk ajar mengenai produk-produk hiliran dari madu ini seperti propolis, bahan-bahan wangian dan mandian seperti shampoo, sabun dan seumpamanya.

Dalam kursus ini, Dr Nor Riah Mahmood, Pengerusi Persatuan

Lebah Kelulut Terengganu telah berperanan sebagai fasilitor dan pengajar. Beliau adalah pengusaha madu kelulut yang berjaya di Terengganu. Jabatan Pertanian Negeri Terengganu pula telah membeirkan kerjasama dan sokongan yang padu bagi memastikan program ini dilaksanakan dengan jayanya.

Penyampaian sijil kepada para peserta telah disempurnakan oleh Ahli Lembaga Pemegang Amanah YDSM merangkap Pengerusi Program, Dato’ Mohd Fadzli bin Yusof. Dato’ Fadzli menyatakan program ini merupakan program baharu yang dianjurkan pada tahun ini bagi menggantikan program usahatani cendawan yang telah di jalankan sejak tahun 2008.

“Kali ini ExxonMobil menyumbangkan kira-kira RM70,000 bagi program perusahaan madu kelulut ini dan kita proaktif untuk memantau perkembangan dan kemajuan yang dicapai oleh para peserta terutama dalam tempoh tiga bulan pertama selepas menjalani kursus ini.

“Diharap latihan dan sokongan yang disediakan dapat memberi rangsangan kepada mereka terutama dalam memajukan diri sekali gus meningkat pendapatan masing-masing. YDSM juga berharap dapat meneruskan program keusahawanan seperti ini dengan memilih 30 wanita setiap tahun” katanya.

SINGLE MOTHERS AND YOUNG GIRLS PARTICIPATE IN STINGLESS BEE HONEY MICRO BUSINESS ENTERPRISE Honey is one of the foodstuff that has many health benefits as evidenced by research in modern sciene and medicine. Malaysia including the state of Terengganu produces various types of honey, one of which is stingless bee honey (madu kelulut). This type of honey is the product of the stingless bee that can normally be found in the tropics, such as Australia, Africa, Southeast Asia, and the tropical parts of the United States. It is believed that there are about 500 species of the stingless bee around the world.

Stingless bees serve as a pollination agent in the forests and among many species of fruits, flowers, vegetables, and other plants. This type of bees store honey they produce in small ‘containers’. The honey is whitish in colour and tastes a bit sour compared to honey produced by other types of bees.

According to research undertaken by the Malaysian

Agricultural Research and Development Institute (MARDI), the stingless bee honey contains fenolic acid that is beneficial to human beings. It is also richer in antioxidants compared to ordinary honey.

As such stingless bee honey commands a better market with higher demand because it is used more extensively by people especially for producing beauty and skincare products.

Because of the huge commercial potential of the stingless bee honey, the Sultan Mizan Royal Foundation (YDSM) with the cooperation of ExxonMobil Exploration And Production Malaysia Inc (ExxonMobil) has organised an entrepreneurship course in stingless bee honey product at Taman Pertanian Sekayu, Hulu Terengganu on 18-20 September 2017. The course was attended by 26 participants from among single mothers and young girls.

The three-day course was an initiative to provide opportunities for women to participate in mircro business enterprise skills development. The course participants were taught how to look after and manage “the house for stingless bee” where honey would be produced, and the technique in drawing honey out from its containers. They were also taught about the honey downstream products in the form of propolis, scented products as well as toiletries such as shampoo, soap, etc..

Serving as course facilitator and instructor was Dr Nor Riah Mahmood, Chairman of the Terengganu Association of Stingless Honey Producers (Persatuan Pengusaha Lebah Kelulut Terengganu). He is a successful entreprenuer in the stingless bee honey business in Terengganu. Besides the Association, the Department of Agriculture Terengganu also took part to ensure the success of the programme.

The awarding of certificates to course partcipants was done by Dato’ Mohd Fadzli bin Yusof, Member of YDSM Board of Trustees cum Chairman of the Programme. Dato’ Fadzli stressed that this was a new programme which was started in 2017 to replace the earlier programme, the mushroom farming enterprise that was carried out since 2008.

Dato’ Fadzli said, “For this new programme, ExxonMobil contributed RM70,000. We in YDSM will take proactive measures to monitor the development and progress of the participants especially during the first three months after completing the course.

“It is hoped that the training and support we give will serve as as an incentive to the participants especially in improving themselves and their income. YDSM also hopes to continue this programme by selecting 30 women participants each year.”

LAWATAN SAMBIL BELAJAR BAGI PESERTA PROGRAM SENI KRAF WARISAN YDSM

Program Seni Kraf Warisan Yayasan DiRaja Sultan Mizan (YDSM) yang bermula tahun 2008 kini dan telah memasuki siri atau kumpulan yang keenam bagi sesi 2016/2017. Selama lima siri yang telah dibuat sebelum ini, sejumlah hampir 200 orang telah dilatih, namun belum pernah lagi pelatih-pelatih dibawa melawat ke tempat-tempat latihan atau pusat-pusat kraf di tempat lain. Mereka hanya belajar dan tertumpu di tempat latihan iaitu bengkel Adiguru masing-masing di Terengganu sahaja.

Sebagai sebahagian daripada usaha meningkatkan pengetahuan dan pendedahan peserta, buat julung kalinya YDSM telah mengadakan satu lawatan untuk pelatih-pelatih Program Seni Kraf Warisan siri ke-6 sesi 2016/2017 pada 8 hingga 10 Oktober 2017 ke tempat-tempat yang berkaitan dengan industri kraf dan warisan di sekitar Selangor dan Kuala Lumpur.

Lawatan ini bertujuan untuk memberi pendedahan

kepada pelatih-pelatih mengenai program dan aktiviti pembelajaran ilmu kraf warisan di tempat-tempat tersebut. Selain itu, pelatih-pelatih berpeluang mendapat pendedahan tentang inovasi seni kraf yang dibuat di tempat terbabit serta melihat potensi untuk memperbaiki diri mereka dan prospek kerjaya mereka sendiri. Disamping itu juga, harapan YDSM agar lawatan tersebut dapat memberikan motivasi dan semangat kepada pelatih-pelatih untuk meneruskan usaha serta mempraktikkan ilmu seni kraf warisan yang telah dipelajari.

Lawatan ini melibatkan seramai 20 orang pelatih, 3 orang mentor. Antara tempat lawatan yang menjadi fokus utama ialah Institut Kraf Negara (IKN) Rawang. Setibanya di sana, rombongan telah disambut mesra oleh Encik Muhamad Arif bin Mustafa, Penolong Pegawai Ehwal Ekonomi, Unit Pengurusan Maklumat, Perpustakaan IKN. Sebelum lawatan diteruskan, beliau telah menyampaikan salam

Antara bengkel-bengkel tersebut adalah Bengkel Jurusan Seni Kraf Tenunan, Bengkel Jurusan Seni Kraf Batik, Bengkel Jurusan Seni Kraf Seramik, Bengkel Jurusan Seni Kraf Kayu, Bengkel Jurusan Seni Kraf Logam dan Bengkel Jurusan Seni Kraf Rotan. Merujuk kepada semua bengkel jurusan yang ada di IKN, hanya 3 jurusan sahaja yang sama dengan apa yang dipelajari oleh pelatih-pelatih YDSM.

Pelatih-pelatih melahirkan rasa gembira kerana daripada peluang berinteraksi mereka memperolehi pencerahan dan penjelasan berkaitan sesi latihan serta kaedah pembelajaran di IKN. Ada antara pelatih yang melahirkan keinginan dan minat untuk melanjutkan

pembelajaran di IKN. Pihak IKN juga telah memberikan penerangan jelas berkenaan proses pengambilan pelajar serta had umur yang sesuai sebagai syarat kemasukan.

Selain daripada melawat ke IKN, rombongan juga telah melawat Kompleks Kraf Kuala Lumpur (KKKL) dan juga Royal Selangor Pewter. Setibanya di KKKL, rombongan telah disambut mesra oleh Encik Ahmad Faisal Abdul Wahab, Pegawai Bahagian Korporat, KKKL. Sepanjang lawatan tersebut, beliau telah memberikan penerangan berkenaan apa yang ada di KKKL dan apa program-program latihan serta aktiviti yang disediakan oleh KKKL.

Beliau memuji YDSM kerana telah berusaha melaksanakan program seni kraf warisan demi memastikan kelangsungan seni kraf negeri Terengganu agar tidak luput ditelan zaman.

STUDY VISIT FOR TRAINEES OF YDSM HERITAGE CRAFTS PROGRAMMEThe YDSM Heritage Crafts Programme which started in 2008 has now enlisted its 6th batch of trainees, this time for the 2016/2017 session. For the earlier five batches, about 200 participants have been trained but they were never brought for study visits to other craft centres. Their study and training have been in the workplace of their mentors, the master craftsmen in Terengganu only.

As such as part of the efforts to raise their level of knowledge and exposure, YDSM organised a study visit for trainees in the sixth batch of the Heritage Craft Programme, on 8 hingga 10 Oktober 2017. They were taken to heritage crafts centres in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur.

The visit aims at providing exposure to the trainees regarding the programmes and learning activities in these centres. They were given opportunity to see how innovation in this craft is being done in these centres, and also opportunities for improving themselves in their own business. Through this visit, YDSM also hoped it would provide motivation to the trainees to continue with their effort and put into practuce the knowledge and skills they havelearnt.

The visit involved 20 trainees and three mentors. Among the centres they visited were Institut Kraf Negara (IKN) (the National Craft Institute) in Rawang. Upon arrival, they were greeted by Encik Muhamad Arif bin Mustafa, Assistant Officer for Economic Affairs, Unit for Information Management at the IKN Library. There they were given a briefing regarding the Institute. Following that, the delegation was taken on a tour to all the heritage crafts training workshops and the crafts gallery at IKN.

Among the specialised workshops visited were those for Textile Weaving, Batik Making, Ceramics Making, Wood Carving, Metal Works, and Rattan Weaving. Among all the specialised workshops at IKN, only three crafts were similar to what has been learnt by YDSM trainees.

The YDSM trainees were very pleased with the visit because they were given the opportunity to interact and obtain clarification and enlightenedment regarding the training and learning sessions at IKN. Among the trainees, there were those who expressed the desire to continue their advanced training at the Institute. The IKN staff also briefed the visitors

mengikuti program ini dan semuanya ditanggung oleh YDSM, kata beliau kepada pelatih-pelatih’. Beliau turut berpesan kepada semua pelatih, sekiranya mereka ingin berjaya menjadi usahawan dan peniaga, mereka perlu menjalinkan kerjasama bersama rakan-rakan usahawan yang lain serta menjaga kualiti dan pembungkusan produk yang akan dijual mahupun dieksport ke luar negeri atau luar negara.

Melalui lawatan ke KKKL ini, pelatih-pelatih telah dapat mempelajari serta mengetahui perkara-perkara yang baru mengenali alatan seni kraf orang asli yang tidak pernah dilihat sebelum ini. KKKL juga turut mempamerkan peralatan serta demonstrasi seni kraf seperti batik dan ukiran kayu. Semua pelatih tidak melepaskan peluang untuk bertanyakan pelbagai persoalan kepada Encik Ahmad Faisal Abdul Wahab.

Sementara itu, lawatan ke Royal Selangor Pewter pula menyaksikan pelbagai jenis produk yang dihasilkan dengan

bahan pewter iaitu campuran Sn (tin)+Sb(antimony)+Cu(copper), menjadikan produk yang dihasilkan berkualiti dan tahan lama. Rombongan YDSM ini dibawa melawat ke galeri produk serta kilang pembuatan produk Royal Selangor. Semua pelatih dapat mempelajari sesuatu yang baru hasil lawatan ke sini. “Lawatan ini serta pameran pelbagai jenis produk seni kraf yang ada dapat memberikan idea-idea baru untuk saya menghasilkan produk sendiri pada masa akan datang”, ujar salah seorang daripada pelatih ketika menemui TINTA pada masa lawatan tersebut.

“Kami sangat berpuas hati dan merasa gembira dengan lawatan ini kerana menerima banyak maklum balas positif daripada pelatih-pelatih yang menyertainya”. Sekiranya diizinkan, lawatan ini akan diteruskan untuk sesi pengambilan pelatih yang akan datang dan mengenalpasti tempat-tempat lawatan lain juga yang sesuai dengan program ini.

After the visit to IKN, the YDSM delegation also visited the Kuala Lumpur Crafts Complex (Kompleks Kraf Kuala Lumpur (KKKL)) and the Royal Selangor Pewter. At KKKL, they were received by Encik Ahmad Faisal Abdul Wahab, from the Corporate Division who briefed the visitors regarding what were available at KKKL in terms of training programmes and activities.

Encik Ahmad Faisal praised YDSM for its efforts in putting in place the heritage crafts programme, to ensure the survival and continuity of the Terengganu heritage crafts.

He said to the trainees, “You all are fortunate that YDSM has chosen you to be part of this programme with all costs being borne by YDSM.” He also reminded all the trainees if they wanted to succeed in business, they must establish cooperation with fellow businessmen, and

ensure the quality and packaging of their products for domestic market as well as for exports.

Through the visit to the Crafts Complex, the YDSM trainees were able to learn new things such as about Orang Asli heritage crafts that they have never seen before. The Crafts Complex also put on display the equaipments as well as

presented a demonstration on batik making and wood carving. The tranees asked numerous questions to know more from Encik Ahmad Faisal about these crafts.

Another component of the study visit was to the Royal Selangor Pewter. There the delegation were taken to see various products made of

pewter, which is a malleable metal alloy made of Sn (tin)+Sb(antimony)+Cu(copper), which enabled the product to be of higher qualiy and also durability.

The YDSM delegation were taken to the gallery as well as to the manufacturing plant of Royal Selangor Pewter. The trainees were able to learn something new from this visit. “The visit and the exhibition of various heritage products have given us new ideas on how to produce our own products in future,” said one of the trainees when met by TINTA during the visit.

“We are very satisfied and happy with the visit because we were given very useful feedback from the trainees we met there,” he further said.

If circumstances permit, such study visits will be organised by YDSM for the new intake in future, and efforts will be made to identify new centres for such a study tour.

FREE EYE SCREENING FOR 1300 INDIVIDUALS TO COMMEMORATE WORLD SIGHT DAY 2017

On the ocassion of World Sight Day 2017, the Malaysian Society of Ophthalmologists (MSO) organised a special programme in Terengganu and invited the Sultan Mizan Royal Foundation (YDSM) to be its joint organiser.

On YDSM’s part, this programme was placed under the charge of the YDSM Zakat Distribution Committee in keeping with the objectves of the MSO to focus the eye screening activities on the poor and the needy in Terengganu. This was a follow up to the free eye surgery and treatment services that were sponsored jointly by YDSM and Pusat Pakar Mata Bangi/Klinik Mesra Bangi, Selangor (The Bangi Eye Specialist Centre, Bangi,

Selangor) for three patients from poor patients at the Bangi Eye Specialist Centre in May 2017.

The World Sight Day Programme was held on 14 and 15 October 2017 (Saturday and Sunday) at the Terengganu State Stadium, in Kuala Terengganu. The activities involved the screening of some 1,300 members of the public for eye-related problems. Through the screening, about 600 individuals were identified as having eye problems and were referred to the Eye Clinic at the Hospital Sultanah Nur Zahirah, Kuala Terengganu for further action. For this activity, the Malaysian Society for Opthalmetrists, which also participated in the programme,

masyarakat sentiasa peka dengan masalah berkaitan kesihatan diri terutamanya mata.

“Mata adalah merupakan pancaindera anugerah Allah swt yang amat penting dan banyak memberi manfaat kepada kita. Justeru, menjadi tanggungjawab kita untuk menjaganya sebaik mungkin agar nikmat penglihatan ini tidak disia-siakan. Sehubungan itu, saya menyeru dan mengajak Tuan-Tuan dan Puan-Puan yang hadir pada hari ini sama-samalah kita mengambil peluang ini untuk melakukan pemeriksaan mata disamping pemeriksaan asas kesihatan kita seperti tekanan darah, kandungan gula dalam darah dan lain-lain yang disediakan oleh pihak Jabatan Kesihatan Negeri.”.

“ Menurut laporan kesihatan mutakhir ini, dalam tempoh 5-10 tahun akan datang, sekitar 1.3 juta rakyat Malaysia yang berusia 50 tahun dan ke atas dijangkakan terdedah kepada penyakit mata iaitu

katarak yang merupakan antara penyebab utama kepada masalah penglihatan mata. Jika tidak dirawat sebetulnya, ianya boleh menyumbang kepada buta,” tambah beliau.

YDSM telah memperuntukan sejumlah RM38, 417.10 bagi menjayakan Program Hari Penglihatan Sedunia 2017 ini.

Mesyuarat Post Mortem Program telah bersetuju untuk YDSM membantu dan membiayai tiga (3) orang pesakit dari keluarga miskin untuk pemeriksaan, pembedahan dan rawatan lanjut mata di Pusat Pakar Mata Bangi/Klinik Mesra Bangi, Selangor yang telah selesai dijalankan pada pertengahan November lalu.

On this ocassion, I call upon all of you to take this opportunity to go through the eye screening as well as the basic health check up provided by the State Health Department for such problems as hypertension, blood sugar and others”

“According to the latest health report, within the next 5-10 years, about 1.3 million people in Malaysia aged 50 years and above are expected to have eye problems such as cataract which is the principal cause for eye sight deterioration. If this is left untreated, it may lead to blindness,” he said.

For the World Sight Day 2017, YDSM allocated a budget of RM38,417.10. YDSM also agreed to sponsor three eye patients from poor family background to undergo further examination, surgery and follow up tratement at the eye specialist centre in Bangi, i.e. Pusat Pakar Mata Bangi/Klinik Mesra Bangi, Selangor. The surgery and follow up treatment was undertaken in the middle of November 2017. YDSM also agreed to donate ophthalmological equipment (for eye examination) to the Terengganu Health Department worth about RM116, 000.00. Such equipments are urgently needed.

Antara seni kraftangan yang dilaksanakan di bawah Program ini termasuklah perusahaan batik terap, batik blok dan batik lukis, penempaan tembaga, ukiran kayu, pertukangan emas dan perak serta pertukangan besi/senjata tradisional seperti keris, parang, pisau, golok dan sebagainya.

Program ini bermula pada tahun 2008, dan kini telah memasuki Siri ke-6 pada tahun 2017. Untuk siri ini seramai 23 orang pelatih berjaya menamatkan kursus yang dilaksanakan selama 18 bulan berakhir dengan kursus asas keusahawanan selama 5 hari 4 malam pada 23 hingga 27 Oktober 2017 yang diadakan di

Menurut Prof. Madya Dr. Fakhrul

Anwar bin Zainol, secara keseluruhannya pelatih yang terlibat telah menunjukkan komitmen yang terbaik dengan kehadiran penuh 98% bagi semua sesi yang dijalankan. Beliau berkata, ada kumpulan yang telah membentangkan cadangan pelan pengurusan perniagaan mereka dengan baik sekali, malah lebih baik daripada pembentangan yang dibuat oleh pelajar Universiti sendiri. Ini menunjukkan ada diantara pelatih memang mempunyai bakat dan potensi untuk menjadi usahawan yang berjaya pada masa mendatang.

Sementara itu, Encik Mohd Ghazali bin Mohamad, pelatih Seni Pertukangan Besi/Senjata Tradisional yang memilih pembuatan Sarung dan Hulu Keris telah dipilih sebagai Pelatih Cemerlang Keseluruhan bagi kursus kali ini, sekaligus dinobatkan sebagai Pelatih Terbaik Program Seni Kraf Warisan YDSM siri keenam sesi 2016/2017.

“Selama ini saya berniaga hanya dapat keuntungan balik modal sahaja. Kini barulah saya sedar bahawa pengurusan kewangan saya adalah tidak tepat. Melalui kursus keusahawanan ini saya telah dapat mengetahui cara pengurusan kewangan yang betul selaku usahawan dan peniaga,” kata Encik Mohd Ghazali bin Mohamad dalam ucapan beliau selaku Pelatih Terbaik. “Terima kasih diucapkan kepada pihak YDSM yang telah memilih saya untuk berada dalam program ini dan juga kepada pihak PJIM, UniSZA,” tambah beliau. Menyedari betapa penting dan luasnya pasaran melalui atas talian, beliau juga telah memasarkan hasil seni kraftangan yang diusahanya melalui talian. Sambutannya amat menggalakkan sekali.

Menurut Prof. Madya Dr. Fakhrul Anwar bin Zainol, beliau merumuskan bahawa keberkesanan atau impak daripada kursus keusahawanan yang telah dibuat adalah Perubahan format latihan yang menjurus kepada konsep praktikal perniagaan (“how to”) memberi impak yang sangat positif dari segi fokus, pemahaman, komitmen dan juga kehadiran pelatih. Latihan yang dilaksanakan berjaya memberi pendedahan kepada pelatih berkaitan ilmu keusahawanan, perniagaan dan juga pengurusan kewangan peribadi yang amat penting bagi melahirkan usahawan yang mampu berdaya

saing di dalam dunia perniagaan.

Selain itu, pelatih didedahkan dengan strategi perniagaan secara sistematik dan berkesan melalui kaedah teori/praktikal. Pelatih juga dapat mempelajari selok-belok bidang perniagaan yang diceburi daripada syarikat mentor dan menghindari kesilapan-kesilapan dalam membuat keputusan melalui pengalaman yang dilalui oleh syarikat mentor.

YDSM berasa gembira dengan maklum balas yang telah diberikan oleh semua pelatih terhadap kursus keusahawanan tersebut. Antaranya ialah mereka dapat mempelajari langkah-langkah dan teknik memulakan perniagaan dengan menggunakan Business Model Canvas (BMC). Mereka juga dapat mempelajari pengiraan untung yang betul dalam perniagaan. Selain itu, dapat mempelajari bagaimana menguruskan perniagaan merangkumi strategi, inovasi dan risiko perniagaan yang betul dan mempelajari perlunya untuk menjadi berani dan mengambil risiko bagi mencapai kejayaan sebagai usahawan.

Secara keseluruhannya, Kursus Asas Keusahawanan ini amat berkesan bagi membantu membentuk visi dan objektif yang tepat untuk membangunkan usahawan yang berdaya maju, berdaya tahan dan berdaya saing. Dalam hubungan ini, YDSM akan sentiasa berusaha bagi merealisasikan sasaran melahirkan usahawan yang dapat menambah nilai kepada produk/perkhidmatan kraftangan mereka agar dapat menembusi pasaran.

YDSM ORGANISES ENTREPRENEURSHIP COURSE TO ENHANCE THE MARKET VALUE OF TERENGGANU HERITAGE CRAFTS The Course on Entrepreneurship in Heritage Crafts under the auspices of Yayasan DiRaja Sultan Mizan (YDSM) aims at providing systematic training for youth (boys and girls) namely those from Terengganu in the various fields of heritage crafts that are presently facing all sorts of threats. Among the crafts under this programme include the various arts of batik making such as batik stamping, block batik and batik painting; brassware making; wood carving; gold- and silverware making; as well as metalware crafts for making traditional weapons such as keris, various types of knives (parang, pisau, golok), etc..

The series under the programme was started in 2008, with the 2017 batch being the sixth in the whole series. For the 6th batch, a total of 23 trainees completed their course successfully within the stipulated period of 18 months. The final component was the entreprenueurship course conducted for five days and four nights from 23 to 27 October 2017 at the Scout Inn Resort, Kuala Nerus, Terengganu. This basic entrepreneurship course was organised jointly by YDSM with Universiti Sultan

Zainal Abidin (UNiSZA) with Associate Professor Dr. Fakhrul Anwar bin Zainol, Director of the Centre for Industry and Community Networking, UniSZA, being in charge of the programme.

According to Dr. Fakhrul Anwar, on the whole, the course participants have shown a high level of commitment with 98% attendance at all training sessions. Based on his observations, there were groups who have presented excellent business management plans, in fact, much better than the presentations by university students. This is an indication that among the trainees, there are those with real talent and potentials to become successful in their future business endeavour.

At the end of the course, Encik Mohd Ghazali bin Mohamad, the trainee for the art of Keris Handle and Sheath-making was selected as the Best Overall Trainee, thus earning him the title of the Best Trainee in YDSM Heritage Crafts Programme for Session 2016/17. He was awarded the Entrepreneurship Course Certificate, as well as the

Certificate for the Best Trainee – a special award from the Center for Industry and Community Networking, UniSZA.

“All this while I run my business and only get back my capital. Now I realise my fiancial management was not correct. Through this course, I come to learn the right way of finance management as a person involved in business,” said Encik Mohd Ghazali bin Mohamad in his acceptance speech for the Best Trainee Award. “I would like to thank YDSM for selecting me to be in this programme, and also to UniSZA,” he added. Aware of the huge potential of online marketing, he has also started promoting his heritage crafts products online and has received very encouraging response.

According to Dr. Fakhrul Anwar, the significance of the programme is the change in the training format that now focuses on the practical side of running a business (“how to”). This approach brings about a very positve impact, in terms of focus, understanding, commitment, as well as the attendance of trainees. The training course succeeded in providing exposure

to the trainees in terms of knowledge on entrepreneurship, business operation, as well as personal financial management, which are all essential to ensure the trainees can compete in the business world.

The trainees were also exposed to effective business strategies based on theory and practice. They learnt the art of business management from their mentors and were shown how to avoid mistakes in decision making based on the experiences of their mentors.

YDSM noted the positive feedback from the trainees towards the entrepreneurship course. They acknoweldged that they managed to learn the right steps and techniques to start a business by using the Business Model Canvas (BMC). They also learnt how to calculate accurately the profit margin in any business. They also learnt the art of business management such as business strategy, managing innovation and risks, to achieve success.

On the whole, the Basic Course on Entrepreneurship has been been effective in shaping the right vision and objectives to become successful and resilient businessmen. In this regard, YDSM will continue in its efforts to nurture entreprenurs who can add value to their heritage crafts products for the market.

YDSM TERUS BIMBING PENERIMA BANTUAN DAN PESERTA PROGRAM

Saban tahun semakin ramai penerima bantuan dan peserta program yang berpeluang bernaung di bawah Yayasan DiRaja Sultan Mizan (YDSM). Sejajar dengan itu, YDSM telah berjaya melahirkan beberapa orang usahawan mikro hasil daripada program memperkasakan sosioekonomi peserta-peserta berkenaan. Program Kecemerlangan Insan Yayasan DiRaja Sultan Mizan merupakan salah satu program sebagai strategi susulan untuk memastikan para peserta pelbagai projek kemasyarakatan YDSM seperti Program Usahaniaga Zakat YDSM, Program Seni Kraf Warisan YDSM dan Program Usahawan Madu Kelulut YDSM terus mendapat manfaat yang sewajarnya selain langkah memantau perkembangan semasa mereka.

dengan minat dan keadaan masing-masing.

Program Kecemerlangan Insan juga dapat mengeratkan hubungan silaturahim di antara YDSM dan peserta di bawah bimbingan YDSM serta dapat berkongsi ilmu serta pengalaman di dalam bidang masing-masing, sesama mereka. Di samping itu, melalui program ini juga YDSM dapat mengetahui status dan perkembangan semasa mereka dan seterusnya dapat mengadakan perbincangan lanjut terutama berkenaan sebarang masalah yang dihadapi oleh mereka. Begitu juga, Program ini bertujuan memupuk rasa kekitaan dan menyuburkan ikatan ukhwah serta semangat kerbersamaan dikalangan peserta dan penerima pelbagai bantuan tersebut

serta tautan hati yang berkekalan kepada YDSM.

Tahun ini, Program ini telah diadakan pada 25 Oktober 2017, bertempat di The Regency Waterfront Hotel, Jalan Kuala Ibai, Kuala Terengganu dan telah dihadiri oleh 110 orang peserta dan penerima bantuan bagi ketiga-tiga program berkenaan.

AID RECIPIENTS AND PARTICIPANTS OF PROGRAMMES CONTINUE TO RECEIVE ATTENTION FROM YDSM Every year an increasing number of aid recipients and programme participants cotinue to receive attention and guidance from Yayasan DiRaja Sultan Mizan (YDSM). YDSM in fact has succeeded in producing a number of micro entrepreneurs out of its socioeconomic programmes. Besides regular monitoring of their progress, YDSM organised a special event called “Program Kecemerlangan Insan Yayasan DiRaja Sultan Mizan” (YDSM Human Capital Development Programme) as a follow-up strategy to ensure participants of various programmes continue to get guidance. These participants were those under the Zakat Micro Enterprise, Heritage Crafts, and Stingless Bee Honey Enterprise. They choose to run these enterprises in keeping with their interest and conditions.

The value of this “Program Kecemerlangan Insan” is it serves to strengthen relationship between YDSM and the participants under its care. It also acts as a platform for sharing knowledge and experiences among participants based on their respective fields. Through this programme, it enables YDSM to know the the status and progress of their work besides holding follow up discussions regarding problems they may face. This programme

also helps strengthen friendship, networking and a sense of belonging among participants and aid recipients as well as building closer rapport with YDSM.

This year the programme was held on 25 October 2017 at the Regency Waterfront Hotel, Jalan Kuala Ibai, Kuala Terengganu, and was attended by 110 participants and aid recipients.

As a measure to provide encouragement and motivation so that participants

will continue to make progress in their respective fields, YDSM has agreed to create a special annual award from 2018 onwards to be accorded to the most outstanding participant. They will be judged in a comprehensive way based on their level of commitment, responsibility, discipline, as well as their performance. It is hoped that this award will be a boost to participants to work harder with greater commitment in enhancing their socioeconomic achievements.

YDSM TAJA PEMBEDAHAN MATA PESAKIT KELUARGA MISKIN

Mata merupakan salah satu pancaindera anugerah Allah yang amat besar gunanya. Tanpa penglihatan yang normal, ia boleh menjejaskan aktiviti seharian seseorang terutamanya yang berkaitan pencarian rezeki. Begitulah situasi yang dialami oleh ketua bagi tiga keluarga miskin dari Terengganu. Ketiga-tiga mereka ini dikesan mempunyai masalah mata yang agak serius sewaktu berpeluang menjalani pemeriksaan mata semasa Program Hari Penglihatan Sedunia 2017 pada pertengahan Oktober lalu di Stadium Negeri Kuala Terengganu. Pakar mata yang memeriksa mereka menyatakan mereka perlu menjalani rawatan pembedahan mata segera (baca laporan berlainan).

Menyedari hakikat kemiskinan yang dihadapi keluarga berkenaan, YDSM tampil

menghulurkan bantuan. Melalui beberapa siri perbincangan bersama pihak Pusat Pakar Mata Bangi/Klinik Mesra Bangi, Selangor, kedua-dua pihak bersetuju untuk bersama-sama membiayai pembedahan dan rawatan mata ketiga-tiga orang tersebut. Ini bermakna kali kedua YDSM dan Pusat Pakar Mata Bangi/Klinik Mesra Bangi bekerjasama bagi membiayai rawatan pembedahan ini setelah kali pertamanya diadakan pada bulan Mei, 2017 yang turut melibatkan tiga (3) keluarga miskin nelayan dari Daerah Marang.

Pembedahan dan rawatan mata untuk tiga keluarga miskin tersebut telah selesai dijalankan pada 12 sehingga 16 November lalu. Selain itu Pusat Pakar Mata Bangi/Klinik Mesra Bangi turut mengadakan pemeriksaan mata percuma untuk isteri/pengiring ketiga-tiga keluarga berkenaan. TINTA YDSM turut difahamkan salah seorang daripada mereka kini telah mampu melihat dengan jelas dan melakukan kerja dan ibadah dengan lebih baik.

Sehubungan ini, YDSM mengucapkan penghargaan dan terima kasih kepada Pusat Pakar Mata Bangi/Klinik Mesra Bangi, khususnya Dato’ Dr. Haji Mohamad Johari, kerana terus bersama YDSM membantu golongan kurang berkemampuan. YDSM turut mengalu-alukan mana-mana pihak untuk bersama-sama YDSM membantu golongan sedemikian terutamanya melalui sumbangan berbentuk dana kewangan bagi tujuan ini.

Our pair of eyes are a gift of God that we cannot do without. Good eye sight is essential because without it, our activities including working for a living will be affected. Such was the situation experienced by three heads of poor households in Terengganu. These three were identified as having serious eye problems following

an eye screening during the World Sight Day 2017 held in the middle of October at the Terengganu State Stadium in Kuala Terengganu. The eye specialists who examined them recommended immediate surgery (see separate report).

Ucapan perasmian oleh Dato’ Haji Mohd Fadzli bin Yusof, Ahli Lembaga Pemegang Amanah YDSMDato’ Mohd Fadzli, YDSM Board Officiating the Graduation Ceremony

Given their poverty-stricken situation, YDSM stepped forward to provide aid. Through a series of discussions with the Pusat Pakar Mata Bangi/Klinik Mesra Bangi, Selangor, a wellknown eye specialist centre in Bangi, both parties agreed to sponsor the required eye surgery and treatment for the three patients. This is the second time both YDSM and the Pusat Pakar Mata Bangi/Klinik Mesra Bangi worked together to help the eye surgery of poor patients. The first was in May, 2017 which involved three poor fishermen from the Marang District, Terengganu.

The eye surgery and treatment for the three poor patients was successfully undertaken between 12 and 16 November 2017. The clinic also provided free eye check up for the spouses and others accompanying the patients. TINTA learnt that as of today, one of the patients has his eyesight restored and can see clearly and is thus able to perform work and his religious obligation effectively.

YDSM would like to express our appreciation and thanks to Pusat Pakar Mata Bangi/Klinik Mesra Bangi, in particular to the eye surgeon, Dato’ Dr. Haji Mohamad Johari, for their selfless effort to be with YSM to assist the poor and the needy. We also welcome individuals and groups to be with YDSM to provide assistance to these needy people by providing cash donation, etc.

MAJLIS GRADUASI UNTUK PELATIH DAN PESERTA PROGRAM YDSM

YDSM terus tekad dalam menggerakan usaha memperkasakan sosioekonomi masyarakat khasnya di Negeri Terengganu melalui pelaksanaan pelbagai program pembangunan kemasyarakatan. Antara program sedemikian ialah Seni Kraf Warisan, Penghasilan Madu Kelulut dan Pembuatan Pastri.

Pada tahun ini, YDSM melahirkan seramai 61 orang graduan yang berjaya menamatkan kursus dalam ketiga-tiga bidang berkenaan dengan cemerlang. Sehubungan dengan itu, YDSM menganjurkan Majlis Graduasi untuk para pelatih dan peserta bagi ketiga-tiga bidang berkenaan pada 28 November 2017, bertempat di TH Hotel & Convention Centre, Gong Badak, Kuala Nerus, Terengganu. Majlis tersebut merupakan tanda khas YDSM merai dan menghargai usaha, kerjasama dan komitmen para pelatih dan peserta selama ini serta mentor atau jurulatih masing-masing.

Dalam majlis tersebut, YDSM turut menganugerahkan gelaran “Pelatih Terbaik” bagi setiap bidang kursus dengan membawa pulang wang saguhati berjumlah RM500, plat penghargaan, sejambak bunga dan sijil. Manakala lain-lain peserta

membawa pulang sejambak bunga dan sijil yang disampaikan oleh Dato’ Haji Mohd Fadzli bin Yusof, Ahli Lembaga Pemegang Amanah YDSM selaku Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Program.

Dalam ucapan perasmiannya, Dato’ Haji Mohd Fadzli turut berpesan agar para graduan sentiasa peka dengan kehendak pasaran dan sentiasa berdaya saing bagi memajukan diri masing-masing.

“Adalah menjadi harapan besar YDSM agar semua para pelatih dan peserta memperolehi manfaat sebanyak mungkin sepanjang kursus dan seterusnya mampu menempatkan diri dalam bidang keusahawanan diluar sana. Jangan mudah berputus asa dan gagal sekali bukan bermakna anda gagal selamanya. Perbaiki apa yang silap dan tambah apa yang kurang”.

Bagi penerima anugerah Pelatih Terbaik bagi Kursus Pembuatan Pastri Tahap 2, Nurul Fatihah binti Zahid beliau tidak menyangka akan menerima anugerah berkenaan dan dalam pada masa yang sama melahirkan syukur kerana berjaya menamatkan kursus berkenaan dengan cemerlang.

“Alhamdulillah, syukur kepada Allah SWT di atas anugerah ini dan terima kasih kepada pihak YDSM kerana memberi ruang dan peluang kepada saya untuk menyertai bidang yang saya minati ini. Tidak dilupakan juga buat kedua ibu bapa dan keluarga serta rakan-rakan sepelatih yang banyak memberi sokongan, dorongan dan tunjuk ajar sepanjang kursus tersebut”. Anugerah yang diterima ini akan menjadi pembakar semangat dan motivasi kepada saya untuk terus berusaha diluar sana”. katanya ketika ditemubual oleh wakil TINTA semasa majlis berkenaan.

Sebagai makluman, Program Seni Kraf Warisan YDSM telah dimulakan sejak tahun 2008 yang merupakan usaha YDSM untuk



26

memulihara, memelihara dan mengekalkan seni warisan Negeri Terengganu. Sehingga kini, ianya telah memasuki siri/kumpulan keenam bagi sesi 2016/2017 dan telah melahirkan lebih 150 orang pelatih/pelajar dalam pelbagai bidang seni kraf warisan - antaranya ukiran kayu, pertukangan senjata, pertukangan emas, mencating batik dan hiasan bunga. Program ini dikendalikan berkonsepkan mentor menti selama 18 bulan dengan elaun bulanan diberikan kepada pelatih.

Manakala Program Usahawan Produk Madu Kelulut pula merupakan program baharu yang dilaksanakan oleh YDSM. Dahulunya YDSM dengan tajaan pihak ExxonMobil melaksanakan Kursus Usahatani Cendawan YDSM sejak tahun 2009. Namun, pada tahun ini atas persetujuan bersama pihak-pihak yang terlibat, Program Usahawan Produk Madu Kelulut diadakan bagi mempelbagaikan program dibawah tajaan pihak ExxonMobil. Hasilnya, Kursus Usahawan Produk Madu Kelulut telah selesai dijalankan pada 18-20 September yang lalu bertempat di Taman Pertanian Sekayu, Hulu Terengganu dengan penglibatan kira-kira 26 orang peserta yang terdiri daripada golongan ibu tunggal

dan beliawanis seluruh Terengganu.

GRADUATION CEREMONY FOR TRAINEES & PARTICIPANTS OF YDSM’S PROGRAMMESYDSM has committed itself to organise the people especially in Terengganu and enhance their socio-economic wellbeing through various social development programmes. The latter include programmes on Heritage Crafts, Stingless Bee Honey Production, and Pastry Making.

In 2017, YDSM was able to produce 61 graduands who successfully completed their courses in their respective fields. To honour them, YDSM organised a Graduation Ceremony for the graduands on 28 November 2017, at the TH Hotel & Convention Centre, Gong Badak, Kuala Nerus, Terengganu. The ceremony symbolised the special appreciation of YDSM in celebrating the success, cooperation and commitment given by the trainees and their mentors in carrying out the programmes.

In the ceremony, YDSM awarded the “Best Trainee Award” to the winner in each programme. Each successful candidate received RM500 in cash, a plaque, a bouquet

of flowers and certificate. Other participants took home a bouquet of flowers and certificate. All these were awarded by Dato’ Haji Mohd Fadzli bin Yusof, Member of the YDSM Board of Trustees, and Chairman of the Organising Committee.

In his speech, Dato’ Mohd Fadzli enjoined the graduands to be always aware of the market needs and should maintain their competitive spirit to improve themselves. “It is YDSM’s hope that all our trainees and participants have benefited from the courses organised under the programmes, and are able to participate in business in the real world. Don’t be easily disheartened. If you fail once it doesn’t mean you fail forever. Improve yourselves and overcome your weaknesses.”

To one of the Best Trainees, Nurul Fatihah binti Zahid, who received the “Best Trainee Award for Pastry Making Level 2”, her success came unexpected.

Nevertheless, she was thankful for her success in completing the course with distinction.

“Thanks to Allah for His grace and thanks also to YDSM for providing me with the opportunity to participate in this course which I’m very interested in. I’m also grateful to my parents and friends who gave encouragement and guidance throughout the course period. This award will be a catalyst to motivate me further to be able to start on my own out there,” she said when met by TINTA during the ceremony.

To reiterate, the YDSM Heritage Crafts Programme which was started in 2008, has the objective of conserving, preserving and developing the arts and crafts of Terengganu. Come the 2016/17 session, this programme has accepted its sixth batch, and has produced more than 200 trainees in various fields – woodcarving, traditional knives making, goldsmith crafts, batik painting, and floral arrangements. This programme is based on the

mentor-mentee concept with the full course lasting for 18 months, with allowances being paid by YDSM to the trainees.

For trainees of the Stingless Bee Honey Production, this is a new programme under YDSM. Previously, with the sponsorship of the ExxonMobil, YDSM organised the Mushroom Farming Programme for single mothers since 2009. However, from 2017 onwards, with the agreement of various stakeholders, the Stingless Bee Honey Production Programme has been introduced with the objectve of diversifying the programme sponsored by ExxonMobil. This year, we have in fact completed the course on stingless bee honey production on 18-20 September. It was held at the Taman Pertanian Sekayu, Hulu Terengganu, which involved 26 participants comprised of single mothers and rural girls from throughout Terengganu.

The Pastry Making Course Level 2 is a course organised with the participation and support of Ziq Bakery. Its objective is to enhance the socioeconomic status of the people of Terengganu, namely the young boys and girls. This course, both theory and practical, was taught for six months from the middle of May until November. It was held at the Akademi Ziq Bakery in Gong Badak, with YDSM forking out the allowances to the trainees.Graduan Kursus Pembuatan Pastri YDSM

MAJLIS KHATAN PERDANA BAGI KANAK-KANAK KELUARGA MISKIN Sempena cuti penggal akhir tahun persekolahan yang lalu, Yayasan DiRaja Sultan Mizan, Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN) dan Jabatan Pendidikan Negeri Terengganu (JPNT) telah menganjurkan Program Khatan Perdana 2017. Program ini adalah disediakan khas untuk golongan yang kurang berkemampuan. Usaha ini adalah selaras dengan tuntutan agama Islam agar setiap umatnya samada lelaki dan wanita menjalani khatan/bersunat.

Seramai 75 orang murid laki-laki telah diterima bagi memyertai Program ini yang telah berlangsung pada 2 Disember 2017, bertempat di Sekolah Kebangsaan Sultan Sulaiman I, Kuala Terengganu.

Program berkenaan turut disokong oleh beberapa agensi kerajaan seperti Bomba dan Penyelamat Malaysia Negeri Terengganu dan Persatuan Pembantu Perubatan Malaysia Cawangan Negeri Terengganu dibawah Jabatan Kesihatan Negeri Terengganu. Sekalipun hujan yang turun begitu lebat, ia tidak sekali-kali memalapkan semangat murid-murid terbabit. Program berjalan dengan sempurna dan berjaya.

Dalam ucapan perasmiannya, Yang Berbahagia Dato’ Haji Mohd Fadzli bin Yusof selaku Pengerusi Program merangkap Ahli Lembaga Pemegang Amanah YDSM menyeru dan menasihatkan ibu bapa sentiasa peka dengan setiap aktiviti yang dilakukan oleh anak-anak.

“Kanak-kanak pada hari ini bukan lagi seperti kanak-kanak 20, 30 atau 40 tahun lepas yang tidak terdedah dengan ancaman siber dan teknologi. Namun, kanak-kanak pada hari ini pada usia setahun dua telah pun didedahkan dengan pelbagai jenis gajet dan internet. Kita harus ingat bahawa ianya akan memudaratkan jika disalah guna dan sebaliknya. Justeru, awasilah setiap apa yang dilakukan oleh anak-anak terutamanya apabila mereka mula menginjak alam remaja. Banyak pengaruh dan anasir samada positif atau negatif yang akan mengelilingi meraka pada masa ini, Oleh itu, peranan dan tanggungjawab ibu bapa amatlah penting bagi memastikan anak-anak tidak

terpesong dan terbabas”.

Lebih manis, setiap kanak-kanak turut diberikan “hadiah khatan” yang berupa wang tunai RM50, kain pelikat, beg dan cenderahati lain oleh pihak penganjur.

Sebelum dikhatankan, kanak-kanak tersebut terlebih dahulu diraikan dengan suapan pulut kuning atau pulut semangat dan kemudiannya diarak ke kawasan lapang bagi aktiviti semburan air oleh pasukan Bomba. Keseluruhanprogram itu berjalan lancar. Walaupun ada sebahagian yang sedikit takut dan berdebar, namun kebanyakan kanak-kanak tersebut teruja untuk berkhatan yang menandakan mereka sudah memasuki usia remaja.

“MAJLIS KHATAN PERDANA” – GROUP CIRCUMCISION FOR BOYS FROM POOR FAMILIES During the school holidays at the end of 2017, YDSM together with Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN) and the Education Department of Terengganu (JPNT) organised what is called “Program Khatan Perdana 2017”, i.e., a group circumcision programme, a necessary ritual for boys after coming of the age of adolescence. This programme was specially organised for boys from poor and low income families, a ritual practice in keeping with the tenets of Islam.

Altogether 75 boys were involved in this group circumcision which took place on 2 December 2017 at Sekolah Kebangsaan Sultan Sulaiman I, Kuala Terengganu. This programme was supported by varius government agencies such as the Fire Brigade Terengganu as well as the Malaysian Hospital Assistants Association Terengganu Branch under the Terengganu

Department of Health. Despite the heavy downpour, it did not dampen the boys’ spirit, making the programme a success.

In his speech officiating the ceremony, Dato’ Haji Mohd Fadzli bin Yusof as the Programme Chairman and Board Member of YDSM called on parents to always be sensitive and alert with regard to their children’s activities.

“Children of today are not the same as children of yester year, of 20, 30 or 40 years ago who were not exposed to cyber and other technology threats. Today’s children are exposed to all sorts of gadgets and the internet from such an extremely young age of one or two. We must be conscious of the dangerous consequences if these technologies are abused. As such, we must monitor our children’s activities especially when they become adolescents.

They will be exposed to all sorts of influences – positive and negative. It is incumbent upon parents to ensure their children are not sidetracked or put on the wrong path.”

For the programme, each participant was given special presents called “hadiah khatan” -- in the form of RM50 cash, a sarung, a bag, and other goodies from the organisers.

Before the circumcision took place, the boys were treated with ‘pulut semangat’ – traditional yellow glutinous rice to boost their spirit, following which they were taken to an open space for the group ceremonial bath – i.e., being sprayed with water from staff of the Fire Brigade. The whole activity ran very smoothly. Although some of the boys were a bit nervous, others were spirited to go through the whole ritual, a symbol of coming of the age of adolescence.

YDSM RECEIVES DONATION FROM REPSOL MALAYSIAIn its effort to contribute to the upliftment of the socioeconomic conditions of the low income groups in Terengganu, YDSM also helps to empower the wives of the Terengganu fisherfolk. This is done through sponsoring activities to increase their income from sea-food products. This new programme is carried out with the cooperation and support of Repsol Oil & Gas Malaysia Limited (Repsol Malaysia) -- an international oil and gas company based

in Kuala Lumpur – which is a subsidiary of the Madrid-based Repsol S.A. from Spain.

YDSM and Repsol Malaysia have agreed to undertake this social investment programme which involves ten specially selected women who are wives of the fishermen from 10 families in Marang. Under this programme, the women will be involved in making food products based on fish, such as fish ball, crispy selayang (a type of fish), fish

nuggets and other innovative products such as otoshimi and surimi. This programme is also supported by the Department of Fisheries Terengganu, Fisheries Development Authority Malaysia (LKIM) Terengganu, Malaysian Fisheries Academy, and the Marang Fishermen’s Associaion. Training for participants in the programme is conducted at the Malaysian Fisheries Academy based in Chendering, Kuala Terengganu.

To kick off the programme, Repsol Malaysia agreed to donate RM100,000.00 to YDSM. This would cover

training costs, purchase of raw materials and machines, workshop renovation, marketing, packaging, and others.

The donation was done through the symbolic presentation of a mock cheque by Mr Jorge Milathianakis, Director of Business of Repsol Malaysia to HRH Tuanku Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin as YDSM Chairman on 3 December 2017 at Istana Terengganu, Kuala Lumpur. Also present were members of the Board of Trustees of YDSM as well as several representatives of Repsol Malaysia.

MAJLIS PELANCARAN BUKU THE ROYAL LETTERS OF BAGINDA OMAR VOLUME II

Apabila mengkaji sejarah kesultanan Terengganu, nama Sultan Baginda Omar, Sultan Terengganu yang kesembilan, muncul sebagai seorang raja yang hebat, memerintah negeri Terengganu dari tahun 1839 hingga 1876, iaitu selama hampir empat dekad. Baginda Omar (1806-1876) bukan sahaja seorang pembangun pemodenan pentadbiran negeri dan pendokong perkembangan perdagangan dan industri negeri Terengganu sehingga Terengganu diberi jolokan oleh pegawai British sebagai “The Birmingham of the Malay Peninsula.” Bahkan Baginda juga seorang diplomat yang pintar, yang memahami perubahan geopolitik akibat kehadiran kuasa British di Tanah Melayu dan implikasinya ke atas kedaulatan negeri-negeri Melayu termasuk Terengganu. Hakikat ini terbukti dalam sejumlah warkah diraja yang dinukilkan oleh Baginda Omar pada masa itu yang tersimpan

dengan rapi di Arkib Negara Malaysia.

Menyedari pentingnya peranan Baginda Omar, YDSM telah melantik Encik Raimy Che’-Ross, seorang pengkaji yang tekun dan tajam penelitiannya untuk menjalankan penyelidikan dan menghasilkan buku mengenai warkah diraja Baginda Omar.

Berkat kegigihan beliau serta bimbingan Jawatankuasa Penyelidikan dan Penerbitan YDSM yang diketuai oleh Dato’ Profesor Emeritus Dr. Abdul Rahman Haji Embong, dan kerjasama erat yang yang diberikan oleh Arkib Negara Malaysia yang memberikan akses sepenuhnya kepada koleksi warkah Baginda Omar tersebut, Encik Raimy telah berjaya menghasilkan buku The Royal Letters of Baginda Omar dalam dua jilid. Jilid pertama telah dilancarkan di Kuala Terengganu oleh Kebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Sultan Mizan

Zainal Abidin selaku Pengerusi YDSM pada Oktober 2015 bersempena ulangtahun ke-10 penubuhan YDSM manakala Jilid II dilancarkan di Arkib Negara Malaysia Kuala Lumpur pada 6 Disember 2017.

Buku ini mempersembahkan sebuah kajian menyeluruh terhadap koleksi nadir warkah-warkah manuskrip dari zaman pemerintahan Baginda Omar, Sultan Terengganu Darul Iman IX. Ia termasuklah suratan rasmi berbahasa Melayu dan bertulisan Jawi daripada para gabenur dan residen British, antaranya Butterworth, Blundell, Church dan Mackenzie, selain surat peribadi daripada baginda Sultan Kelantan dan Sultan Riau-Lingga, dan juga para Bendahara Pahang dan Temenggong Johor. Salinan asal kesemua surat-surat ini kini terpelihara dengan baik dan rapi di bawah tajuk fail ‘ANM SP 6 Surat-Surat Persendirian Baginda Omar’.

Pelancaran buku The Royal Letters of Baginda Omar Volume II telah disempurnakan oleh Datuk Azemi Abdul Aziz, Ketua Pengarah Arkib Negara Malaysia. Majlis ini turut dihadiri oleh Dato’ Haji Mohd Fadzli bin Yusof, Ahli Lembaga Pemegang Amanah YDSM dan To’ Puan serta Haji Azri Sani bin Dato’ Mazlan, Setiausaha Syarikat YDSM serta kira-kira 100 orang hadirin yang terdiri daripada pengkaji dan peminat sejarah bersama-sama dengan warga kerja ANM.

THE LAUNCHING OF THE ROYAL LETTERS OF BAGINDA OMAR VOLUME IIThe 9th Sultan of Terengganu, Baginda Omar was a great ruler who ruled Terengganu for almost four decades from 1839 to 1876. Baginda Omar (born in 1806 and died in 1876) was the architect of the modernisation of the state administration as well as the champion of the development of commerce and industry of Terengganu so much so that Terengganu became known among British officials as “The Birmingham of the Malay Peninsula.” High Highness was also a brilliant diplomat, who understood the geopolitical changes as a result of the British presence in the Malay Peninsula, and its implications for the sovereignty of the Malay states including Terengganu. This fact could be gleaned from the collection of letters he wrote during that period, a collection which has been carefully preserved in Arkib Negara Malaysia.

Given the significance of Baginda Omar’s role in Terengganu history, YDSM has appointed Encik Raimy Che’-Ross, a dedicated researcher with a sharp eye for details to undertake a study and produce a book on the royal letters of Baginda Omar. Thanks to Raimy’s commitment, and with the guidance of the YDSM Research & Publication Committee chaired by Dato’ Professor Emeritus Dr. Abdul Rahman Haji Embong as well as the full cooperation of the National Archives who gave full access to the collection of letters, the researcher was able to complete the book The Royal Letters of Baginda Omar in two volumes. Volume I was officially launched by HRH Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin as Chairman of

YDSM in October 2015 during the ceremony commemorating the 10th anniversary of YDSM while Volume II was launched in Kuala Lumpur at Arkib Negara Malaysia (ANM) on 6 December 2017.

The book The Royal Letters of Baginda Omar (Vols. I & II) is a comprehensive study on the rare collection of letters written during the reign of Baginda Omar, the 9th Sultan of Terengganu. The collection include official letters in Malay and written in the Jawi script by British governors and residents, such as Butterworth, Blundell, Church, and Mackenzie. Also letters by the Sultan of Kelantan dan Sultan of Riau-Lingga, as well as letters from Bendahara of Pahang and Temenggong of Johor. The original letters are well kept and preserved in the Malaysian National Archives in a file under the title of “ANM SP 6 Surat-Surat Persendirian Baginda Omar” (ANM SP 6 Personal Letters of Baginda Omar).

The launching of The Royal Letters of Baginda Omar Volume II was officiated by the Director-General of ANM, Datuk Azemi Abdul Aziz. The function was also attended by Dato’ Haji Mohd Fadzli bin Yusof, Member of the Board of Trustees of YDSM and wife; YDSM Company Secretary Haji Azri Sani bin Dato’ Mazlan; and about 100 participants and guests consisting of researchers of history and history enthusiasts together with the staff of ANM.

In his speech on behalf of YDSM at the function, Dato’ Profesor Emeritus Dr. Abdul Rahman

Haji Embong expressed his warmest congratulations to Mr Raimy Che’-Ross for his tireless efforts in producng the two volumes, and a big thank you to the Director-General of the National Archives of Malaysia for faclitating the research and publication of this book, as well as being the co-organiser of the book launch. Dato’ Rahman also expressed his most sincere thanks to Profesor Anthony Milner, a renowned scholar-historian on the Malay world for graciously consenting to write the Foreword to The Royal Letters of Baginda Omar and also to deliver a keynote address at the function following the launch.

During the launch, Datuk Azemi Abdul Aziz said that the collection containing the Letters of Baginda Omar was one of the earliest personal collections that was deposited and kept at the National Archives of Malaysia. The Royal Letters of Baginda Omar was a royal collection of letters of the 19th century that became the first to be turned into a book publication.

Datuk Azemi said, “I have been informed that Mr Raimy Che’-Ross took 15 years to undertake this study on the collection of letters. A big congratulation and thank you to Mr. Raimy for producing both volumes of this book The Royal Letters of Baginda Omar.”

A book discussion session followed the launch. The keynote speaker was Profesor Anthony Milner who spoke on the historical value and significance of The Royal Letters of Baginda Omar. This

was followed by Mr. Raimy Che’-Ross who shared his experience in conducting research at ANM for the book. A lively question-and-answer session followed their presentations.

YDSM is very pleased that the event received very lively response from the audience. A number of historians, book publishers, book distributors, and history enthusiasts took turns to pose questions regarding the book during the Q&A session. Both Mr. Raimy Che’-Ross and Profesor Anthony Milner engaged with these questions and comments effectively to the satisfaction of the audience.

Sale of the The Royal Letters of Baginda Omar was brisk during the lunch break. A number of the participants also made orders for the book. YDSM would like to thank the National Archives of Malaysia for providing the venue as well as in ensuring the success of the event.

Those interested to have a copy of the book can place their order, or purchase it direct from the Office of Yayasan DiRaja Sultan Mizan, Pekarangan Istana Badariah, Jalan Sultan Mahmud, 20400 Kuala Terengganu or at the YDSM Gallery at Level 1, Sultan Mahmud Airport, Kuala Nerus, Terengganu.

CORETAN PENGALAMAN PENERIMA BIASISWA DIRAJA YAYASAN DIRAJA SULTAN MIZAN

Alhamdulillah, saya merupakan antara yang bertuah kerana berpeluang mendapat tajaan biasiswa diraja Yayasan DiRaja Sultan Mizan (YDSM) di peringkat PhD yang disumbangkan oleh Tuanku Sultan sendiri. Saya adalah calon PhD pertama yang memperoleh biasiswa diraja ini daripada Yayasan. Saya menjunjung kasih atas perhatian Tuanku.

Berkat kesabaran dan usaha sewaktu pengajian peringkat sarjana di Jordan dengan kekangan kewangan tanpa tajaan khusus, Allah permudahkan saya di pengajian PhD. Ini menjadi lebih bermakna memandangkan saya berpeluang menyambung pengajian di Universiti Aberdeen, UK. Universiti ini antara universiti terbaik dunia yang memberi peluang kepada saya bermusafir dan mencari ilmu di negara barat. Walaubagaimana pun, saya menyedari tajaan ini bukan untuk bermegah-megah, namun ia adalah amanah yang perlu dilaksanakan dengan sebaik mungkin.

Mengimbau kembali sebelum ke UK, walaupun proposal PhD telah menerima respon daripada bakal penyelia serta diluluskan oleh Ahli Lembaga Pemegang Amanah YDSM, namun cabaran utama saya ialah Bahasa Inggeris. Ini kerana semua universiti di UK mensyaratkan calon-calon yang memohon melepasi tahap tertentu ujian IELTS (International English Language Testing System). Keberadaan di Jordan hampir 6 tahun memberi kesan terhadap perkembangan Bahasa Inggeris saya memandangkan bahasa tersebut tidak begitu meluas penggunaannya di sana. Namun berkat usaha dan sokongan daripada ahli keluarga, guru-guru serta Ahli Lembaga YDSM, setelah melalui beberapa kali ujian ini akhirnya Allah kurniakan kejayaan kepada saya.

Berkenaan dengan kajian PhD, saya memilih bidang maqasid al-Shariah (objektif shariah) dan perbankan Islam. Pada awalnya terdapat beberapa cabaran. Antaranya, memilih tajuk yang agak terperinci tentang ilmu syariah agak mencabar di negara barat. Alhamdulilah, penyelia saya, Dr Dawoud El-Alami banyak membimbing dalam hal ini. Cabaran yang kedua ialah saya tiada pengalaman dalam bidang perbankan Islam secara praktis. Saya cuba atasi masalah tersebut dengan meluaskan pembacaan mengenai bidang ini. Mujurlah terdapat kemudahan akses jurnal dan lain-lain yang disediakan oleh universiti. Begitu juga saya banyak berhubung dengan rakan-rakan yang berada dalam industri perbankan Islam di tanah air. Akhir sekali,

saya sendiri melakukan kajian lapangan dalam bidang ini agar mendapat pencerahan yang lebih baik. Alhamdulillah kepulangan selama sebulan di Malaysia, saya telah berpeluang menemubual pegawai-pagawai syariah di enam buah bank islam, pegawai-pegawai syariah di Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) dan ahli-ahli Majlis Penasihat Syariah BNM.

Dalam masa yang sama, saya menyedari peluang berada di UK bukan hanya untuk menyiapkan PhD, namun untuk belajar nilai-nilai yang baik di sana agar dapat diaplikasi dalam masyarakat kita kelak. Tidak dinafikan tatkala kali pertama menjejak kaki di bumi Aberdeen, Scotland, sedikit masa diperlukan untuk membiasakan diri sebagai seorang Muslim yang bergelar minoriti. Tiada azan berkumandang seperti kebiasaan, makanan halal tidak semudah sebelum ini untuk diperolehi. Masjid pula hanyalah beberapa buah rumah teres, di mana solat Jumaat terpaksa dikerjakan dalam keadaan berhimpit-himpit. Walaubagaimanapun, semua itu cabaran yang sedikit jika dibandingkan dengan elemen positif di sana. Dalam bidang akademik sebagai contoh, idea kita dihormati, soalan kita diraikan dan perkongsian kita dialu-alukan. Hakikatnya, masyarakat barat terkenal dengan sifat ingin tahu yang tinggi dan sangat menghormati nilai-nilai ilmu. Dalam masa yang sama, saya dan keluarga (isteri dan anak) berpeluang menikmati pelbagai kemudahan di sini. Kerajaan Scotland, sebuah wilayah autonomi dalam UK mengutamakan kebajikan rakyat

mereka seperti pendidikan percuma, kesihatan percuma, serta air percuma.

Dari aspek kemasyarakatan, masyarakat di sana terkenal dengan sikap hormat menghormati, bertoleransi dan suka menyumbang. Antara yang menarik perhatian saya ialah kedai kebajikan atau charity shop sangat banyak. Kedai tersebut menjual barang terpakai untuk disalurkan hasilnya kepada orang miskin, anak yatim, pesakit kanser serta usaha-usaha kebajikan lain. Dari satu sudut kedai ini menyediakan peluang buat masyarakat yang berkemampuan menyumbang barang-barang terpakai mereka untuk dijual dengan harga lebih murah. Barang-barang tersebut dapat dinikmati oleh golongan pendapatan pertengahan serta pelajar. Duit tersebut seterusnya dapat disalurkan kepada dana untuk tujuan kebajikan. Pekerja-pekerja kedai ini bekerja secara sukarela dan turut mendapat manfaat menilai barang-barang. Ini kerana barang-barang yang disumbangkan perlu diletak harga. Konsep sebegini menjadikan amal-amal kebajikan melibatkan lebih ramai pihak, berbanding hanya dua pihak.

Dengan baki pengajian saya yang hanya tinggal tidak lama lagi (saya dijangka siap awal tahun 2018), saya berharap dapat melakukan yang terbaik untuk kajian saya. Begitu juga saya berharap dapat belajar lebih banyak nilai-nilai yang baik agar dapat dibawa manfaat untuk ummah kelak.

SOME EXPERIENCES OF THE YDSM SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTThanks to Allah, I am one of the lucky candidates to be awarded a Royal Scholarship from The Sultan Mizan Royal Foundation (YDSM) to undertake a PhD study, funded by HRH Sultan Mizan himself. On top of that, I am the first PhD candidate to receive this royal scholarship from the Foundation. I am truly humbled and thankful to have the honour of receiving such generosity from His Royal Highness Sultan Mizan.

When I undertook my Master’s degree in Jordan, I had to face financial difficulty because I did not have any sponsorship. Today, I am thrilled that Allah eases my journey for the PhD study. This became more meaningful as I was presented with an opportunity to pursue my studies at the University of Aberdeen, United Kingdom. I am not only fortunate to be chosen to study in one of the most prestigious institutions in the world, but this has also

enabled me to travel and seek knowledge in the Western world. However, I realize this opportunity is certainly not for me to boast about, but to fulfil the trust and mandate expected of me to the best of my ability.

Prior to going to the UK, I have had several difficulties even though my PhD proposal did receive a good response from prospective supervisors and has already been approved by YDSM Board of Trustees. However, my main setback remained my mastery of English. This is due to the fact that all UK universities requires candidates to pass a certain level of IELTS (International English Language Testing System) test. My almost six years’ stint in Jordan has somewhat proved to be a drawback to my English mastery as the language is not so widely used there. Nonetheless, due to endless support of family

members, teachers and YDSM Board Members, I was able to overcome it and passed the IELTS.

For my doctoral studies, I chose Maqasid Al-Shariah (Shariah objective) and Islamic banking. At first there were some challenges. Choose a specific topic on Shariah proved to be quite a daunting challenge in western universities. Alhamdulillah, my supervisor Dr. Dawoud El-Alami has kindly guided me in this regard. The second challenge was that I have no practical experience in Islamic banking. I tried to solve this problem by expanding my reading in this field. Fortunately, journals and other materials are easily accessible in the university. I also happened to have a lot of acquaintances and contacts in the Islamic banking industry back at home in Malaysia. Lastly, I personally conducted fieldwork in this field in order to get a better understanding.

Alhamdullilah, during a month return in Malaysia, I had the opportunity to interview Sharia officers at six different Islamic banks, Shariah officers at Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) and members of the BNM Shariah Advisory Council.

At the same time, I realize that my time in the UK is not just to accomplish my PhD studies, but also to learn the good values that could be applied upon my return to Malaysia later. Undoubtedly when I first set my foot in Aberdeen, Scotland, it took me a little longer to familiarize myself within a small diasporic Muslim community. There was no familiar Muslim admonition or azan, and halal food is also quite difficult to obtain. The mosque comes in the form of a terrace house, where humungous Friday-prayer congregations are equally “forced” to accommodate. All the same, all these are but a set of minor challenges considering the many positive elements that could be observed here. In the academic field, for instance, our ideas are respected, our questions and our sharing are all welcomed. As a matter-of-fact, western society is known for its high sense of inquiry, and its respect for knowledge. In the meanwhile, my family and I (wife and child) get to enjoy various facilities here. The Scottish Government, an autonomous region in the UK, prioritizes the welfare of the people and provides free education, free health and free access to water.

From the social aspect, the people here are known for their respect, tolerance and their commitment to contribute to others. Among the things that amazed me the most is to see the many charity shops operating there. These shops sell used goods and then distribute the proceeds to the poor, orphans, cancer patients and to other charitable efforts. On the one hand, the store provides an opportunity for the people who can afford to donate their used goods for sale at a cheaper price. These items can be enjoyed by middle income groups and also students. Then the proceeds from the sale can be channelled to charitable purposes. In addition to that, the shop employees work on a voluntary basis and benefit from the experience of assessing the value of the goods. This is because the donated items need to have a price tag. Such a concept makes welfare work more collective as it involves more people than just only two parties.

With my remaining academic years being only one and a half left (I am expected to finish in early 2018), I hope to give my best in my research. Likewise I hope to learn more good values in order to bring benefits to the ummah later.

She had also held the post of the Head of English Department and Dean of the Faculty of Languages, UKM.

After her compulsory retirement, she was appointed on a contract basis as a Principal Fellow at the Institute of Malaysian and International Studies (IKMAS) UKM since 2012, with her last post at the Institute as an adjunct professor.

Dato’ Zawiah was a prolific and respected scholar and intellectual. She had written many articles and books, the most well known being Resisting Colonialist Discourse, published by UKM Press in 1993.

She was involved in various committees on language and literature at the national level and was appointed to sit in the editorial board of a number of journals in the country and abroad. She was also a member of the National Selection Committee for the National Laureates Award (2003-2008).

For her outstanding services to the country and people, she

was recognised with the award of the medal, Kesatria Mangku Negara (KMN) from His Majesty Yang di-Pertuan Agong in 1996, and the Darjah Kebesaran Dato’ Paduka Mahkota Terengganu, a public service honour, that carries the title of Dato’ from HRH the Sultan of Terengganu in 2014.

Dato’ Dr Zawiah had a very close relationship with YDSM and contributed significantly to our programme. When YDSM launched the English Enhancement Programme and the YDSM Challenge Trophy in 2010, Dato’ Dr. Zawiah was appointed to lead the Panel of Judges for the English competition for a number of years. As an expert in English language and literature, she was of the view that the teaching and learning of English as a second language among students would be more effective if it is done or mediated through the use of materials with local content and context. Based on this theory, she led a team of experts from UKM and IKMAS to undertake a major research programme called ‘Your Language My Culture’ (YLMC) scheduled for a period of five years from 2016-2020 under the sponsorship of YDSM. This programme is now bearing fruits.

YDSM is eternally grateful for her contribution especially in the field of education for the enhancement of English among our schools in Terengganu. Her services will forever be remembered! AlFatihah!

Atas jasa-jasa penting beliau kepada negara dan masyarakat, beliau menerima anugerah bintang kebesaran Kesatria Mangku Negara (KMN) daripada SPB Yang di-Pertuan Agong pada 1996, dan Darjah Kebesaran Dato’ Paduka Mahkota Terengganu yang membawa gelaran Dato’ daripada KDYMM Sultan Terengganu pada 2014.

Dato’ Dr Zawiah mempunyai hubungan yang erat dengan YDSM and membuat sumbangan penting kepada Yayasan. Apabila YDSM melancarkan Program Pengukuhan Bahasa Inggeris dan Pertandingan Piala YDSM pada 2010, beliau telah dilantik memimpin Jemaah Pengadil pertandingan tersebut untuk beberapa tahun. Sebagai pakar bahasa dan kesusasteraan Inggeris, beliau berpendapat pengajaran dan pembelajaran (P&P) bahasa Inggeris sebagai bahasa kedua akan lebih berkesan sekiranya kandungan bahan-bahan pengajarannya terdiri daripada budaya tempatan. Bertolak daripada teori ini, beliau telah memimpin suatu pasukan pakar daripada UKM dan IKMAS untuk melaksanakan projek besar Program ‘Your Language My Culture’ (YLMC) untuk lima tahun daripada 2016-2020 dengan tajaan YDSM. Program ini sedang membuahkan hasilnya.

YDSM mengucapkan berbanyak terima kasih atas sumbangan besar beliau khususnya dalam bidang pengukuhan bahasa Inggeris dalam kalangan pelajar-pelajar sekolah di Terengganu. Jasa-jasa beliau tetap dikenangi abadi! AlFatihah!
