I am back online....

As usual, the end of the year is always the busiest of all times. I have been running here and there with different kind of activities, ranging from the Raya Celebration to family gathering.

One of the big projects I did was the oneIM 2008 HLP, which I and the team organized every last Friday of the month, throughout 2008. Activities included indoor and outdoor games, ball games, etc. I feel relief that it is over now.

Then, I led another project, the oneIM Raya Get-Together. This is the first of its kind organized as oneIM. Usually, the get-together was just a small one in the office. The objectives were to unite all staff in IM regardless of race, culture or religion and to further strengthen relationship amongst staff. I chose Kesyukuran Dalam Kemeriahan as the theme. Varieties of food were catered including lamb briyani, rendang, sate and not forgetting the raya biscuits.

Then I initiated the Amanah Kasih charity project. The project serves as the avenue for IM to lead or participate in charity projects or events. It is also hope that the project would encourage staff to be more involved in such projects. I don't know how and what came to my mind when I chose Amanah Kasih as the project name. So is the oneIM get-together theme. But, if you read through the oneIM raya theme closely, it does relate to Amanah Kasih (Amanah-trust;entrust, Kasih-care;love). What I could gather, both projects are in the wake to 'realize' and help the needy while we lived a blessed life.

My manager, Hj Yahkup, supported the project positively and he even proposed the 'family' for the project. The project was joined by 4 young energetic and enthusiastic graduates, Dk Ratna, Meng, Azeez and Khadiman. So, after doing some findings, we made a visit to the family concerned, a family of 9 - 7 little children (4 girls and 3 boys), ranging from 11 months to 12 years old.

The responses had been good since. Donations in the form of money and basic needs like clothings, food, kitchen ware, etc poured in not only from our very own IM staff but also from staff outside IM in BSP. The money received will not only be for the focus of one but for any, those are in need throughout the country. This will then 'lengthen' the good deeds of our staff, who generously donated.

May Allah bless our good doings....amien3 yra....
