Solving solution JAIS way.

On 04 June 2010 at 0900 hrs, JAIS organized a Meeting to solve the New Mosque Development Committee status and the Kampong Raja Uda deregistered Khairat Kematian at Pejabat Agama Islam Daerah (PAID) Meeting Room.

Committee Members of the Kampong Mosque, New Mosque Development and Khairat Kematian were officially invited. Observers from the Kampong residents were encouraged to attend, verbally told by the Ketua Kampong and Vice Chairman of the New Mosque Development Committee. It would be a better idea if they held it in the Kampong Mosque and they would get a better crowd as Observers.

1) New Mosque Development Committee.

Take a rest.

All the Committee Members was asked to take a rest, (the polite way to say you are fired) and the Chairman of Development Bureau from the current Mosque will now be the Chairman of the New Mosque Development Committee, henceforth he would now appoint a brand new set of Committee Members and subsequently the next step and actions taken would be his sole prerogative.

Director of JAIS Letter (instructions) dated 04 February addressed to current Mosque Nazir and Chairman of the former New Mosque Development Committee is considered null and void and the Director will now issue a new standing instruction arising from this Meeting of 04 June 2010. It would be interesting to read how it would be interpreted on paper.

On 20 May 2010, MAIS had transferred the New Mosque account at Bank Muamalat Klang to their account as Trustee. The action perhaps was in anticipation that all the former New Mosque Development Committee was to be laid off as at 04 June 2010. Was the transaction was in good order and according to banking procedure? Only Allah knows and I defer to comment of their actions.

The formal procedure was unable to be complied as the former New Mosque Development Committee was unable to conduct a Meeting since 04 February 2010 as the appointed Chairman from the present Mosque Committee was not then appointed and then he refused to convene one. The former New Mosque Committee failed to come out with a minute of Meeting with the new appointed Chairman to execute the account transfer. Therefore the transfer of account by MAIS at Bank Muamalat Klang, sometimes in 2009 were quite similar to what the present Mosque Senior Committee Members had changed the New Mosque account signatories at Bank Islam Klang. I am not cooking up fairy tales as there was a Polis Report pertaining to the subject matter and rather fair to record the episode for the future generations of Kampong Raja Uda. They would know what transpired in 2009/2010 during the buildup of the New Mosque.

As I see it, the former New Mosque Development Committee had been very patience and tolerant. The New Mosque donation box was locked, the Notice board was removed and the Mosque Meeting Room was out of bound to them, yet they tolerated. MAIS and JAIS did nothing. Then JAIS came out with the idea of appointing the Chairman from the present Mosque Committee and requested that all the fund of the New Mosque to be transferred to MAIS as trustee of which the former New Mosque Committee also in agreement. The present Mosque Committee ran out of idea and they manipulated by stopping the appointed Chairman to conduct a Meeting with the former New Mosque Development Committee. To transfer the fund from Bank Muamalat to MAIS came to a stalemate.

MAIS and JAIS have no more choice except to fire the former New Mosque Development Committee. Would it solve the problem? My answer is yes and no.

Whatever, I am glad and thankful that JAIS accepted the construction of the “mehrab” and the main prayer hall stand fans as proposed by the former New Mosque Development Committee. On this aspect I proudly comment that they have some sense. If there is any change, it is left to their conscience as it is the kampong residents “amanah”, especially the designed “mehrab”.
Take a rest, after all the New Mosque would be ready in eight (8) months time and the tenure of the present Mosque Committee would expire in 2012. Whoever rule the state government at that time is immaterial as the Mosque Committee Members are decided by the residents where DAP votes are discounted. Lessons learnt. The kampong residents will not incur and repeat similar mistake.

The only regret, the former New Mosque Development Committee Members would not be able to accomplish their mission where they had started from ground zero in 2001. From the land acquisition, climbing up and down the State Secretariat Building, facing the Klang District Officer on land matters, liaising with JKR Engineers, land fill, distribute saham certificates for donations, resistance from the present Mosque Committee, personal slandering in the Mosque and you name it. These bunches of people were not paid an allowance to do the donkey job, just for the sake of Allah. They were now just short of eight (8) months away when they were stripped. My sympathy goes to you guys. Whatever, I am sure Almighty Allah would bless their sweat, patience and tears to make the House of Allah a reality, standing mighty in Kampong Raja Uda. To those who stood the path, I am sure Allah knows and we will all bear witness the rightful and the wrong doers. I am proud that I was part of the team from the inauguration of the Committee until I resigned in October 2003 due to health reason.

The quarrel and the squabble are now over and the ball is on their feet. Allah knows everyone “nawaitu” if one is embracing the true teaching of Islam. Let’s put the episodes behind and enjoy the forthcoming World Cup from South Africa. The consolation - you guys don’t carry the headaches anymore. The teething problem is not yours to solve. You had passed the baton and let them do the running to the finishing tape.

2) Khairat Kematian.

The Protem Committee formed on 02 June 2010 headed by Encik Ali Termizi Hussein had been agreed by JAIS and now directly under the supervision and advice by the Ketua Kampong.
Actions of the past are now completely forgotten and now would be in the history book of Kampong Raja Uda. To all those concern my heartiest Congratulation. I am now just adapting to the Protem Chairman famous quotation: Persangka Baik. (Just think well and good). Allah is there to judge.






To conclude, I derived.

I had forgotten which Statesman said this: “When you are in power you choose your own Conductor for the orchestra” but then again I may quote “One cannot cling to power forever”. Even Sadam Hussein finally ended at the gallows and Ariel Sharon perhaps now a vegetable (if he is still breathing).

To the former New Mosque Development Committee Members, be like Nelson Mandela, though he gave up his power and still alive today, the world still respect and recognize him as the world renowned Leader.

Khairat Kematian.

Deregistration of the Khairat Kematian on 26 August 2009 had aroused several sentiments and several steps are being taken by several parties.

The steps were:

1) The former Nazir and past Chairman of the Khairat Kematian had written to the Director of Registrar of Society Putrajaya to appeal to revoke deregistration. Chain of events and sequence leading to the fiasco was explained in details and the Members should not be the ultimate victim.

2) The newly form Kampong Persatuan Islam was informed of deregistration and it was proposed that the Protem Committee was given the task to revive the Khairat Kematian. Perhaps that Committee can take over the administration of the Khairat Kematian and as a registered NGO they can prove to the kampong residents their capabilities.

3) The Chairman and Vice Chairman of the defunct Khairat Kematian organized a Meeting on 2 June 2010 to seek mandate from the Members how to revive the Khairat Kematian.

Meeting on 2 June 2010.

1) The Meeting was chaired by Hj Shamsuddin Razak, the former Chairman of Khairat Kematian 2001-2003 sessions. He later briefed the Members that he had written an appeal letter to the Authorities.

2) The Chairman and the Vice Chairman of the defunct Khairat Kematian had personally met ROS Selangor and directed them to the Department of Insolvency as ROS Selangor had written to the Department of Insolvency however they had not received the letter as yet. They were told that the matter is non priority. Consequently they were later contacted by JAIS to attend a Meeting at Pejabat Agama Islam Daerah Klang on 4 June 2010 to discuss on the current Khairat Kematian issue.

3) The proposal tabled at the 02 june 2010 Meeting was to form a new NGO under the name of “Badan Bantuan Kematian, Penduduk Islam Kampong Raja Uda” (BADAN) and to transfer the account in the deregistered Khairat Kematian to the new proposed. The Vice Chairman seeks for the Members mandate and if agreeable, the Members were requested to appoint a Protem Committee to address the issues to revive the Khairat Kematian.

Item 3 was accepted unanimously by the Members presence and the following were elected:

Chairman: Encik Ali Termizi bin Hussein.
Secretary: Encik Aziz.
Treasurer: Encik Rahim Mydin.
Committee Members: Tuan Haji Nazri.
Encik Mohd Baderi @ Wahab.
YM Raja Maizan.
Two Internal Auditors: (to be appointed).



Note: The secretary and the Treasurer of the defunct Khairat Kematian did not attend the Meeting. The Ketua Kampong was presence and hosted dinner to some after the Meeting.

There were several issues raised whether the present activities of the Khairat Kematian can proceed as per normal? The Chairman said that it would be and the Protem Committee appointed would hold office until a new Registration is approved by ROS.

Personally I have no comment what the Protem Committee going to do and I would just go along by it and supportive to all their actions. I would not get myself involve directly. I have witnessed several misappropriations of fund and duty in the kampong which went scot free and I do not want to be part of the party.

The New Mosque Development Committee met on 1 June 2010 at JKKK(P) 20 footer Container without the newly appointed Chairman from the Mosque Committee, though informed and invited. Also missing was the Adviser, the Ketua Kampong. Permission was not granted to use the Mosque Meeting Room and the JKKK Meeting Room allegedly occupied as per the Ketua Kampong. It was chaired by the Vice Chairman. Whatever………..a Meeting can be held anywhere even under a tree as Nizar, the ex Menteri Besar of Perak had done in Ipoh before.

.

The meeting was in preparation for a meeting at JAIS on 04 June 2010 at Pejabat Agama Islam Daerah (PAID) Meeting Room. The Meeting was informed that MAIS had transferred the New Mosque account at Bank Muamalat Klang effective 20 May 2010 under their Trustee. The Committee would get further clarification and confirmation during the 04 June 2010 meeting.

.
I am glad that the construction of the New Mosque is running smoothly even though certain party still show discontentment. If weather permits, it should be ready by December 2010. I am sad and disappointed with all the happenings but Allah is surely kind with all good and noble intention (nawaitu). Whatever circumstances we are in, certain respect and leeway should be given to those who started and slogged from ground zero.

.
I just pray and doa that we all get to pray in the New Mosque come December 2010.
