2012/2013

We are so sorry for not updating this website for a long time. Actually, we are busy in executing our tasks as committee members of the International Community Service Programme (ICOS) 2013.

Some Programmes Before Dissolution

For your information, Mahallah Abu Bakar Representative Committee (MAB MRC) 2012/2013 was dissolute on 30 April 2013 after organizing a small MAB Appreciation Ceremony and Grand Solat Hajat on that day. The programme is attended by the MAB Principal, Ustaz Hasanul Basri Abdullah, some Hisbah representatives and Muhibbah Team representatives. That programme symbolized dissolution of MAB MRC, Hisbah Committees and Muhibbah Team.

On that day, we welcome our guests (visiting residents of MAB), students of the Science and Technology Preparatory Centre (PPST), Malaysian University of Sabah (UMS) with a small dinner ceremony together with the Principal and the MRC members. For your information, students of PPST UMS went here for the Battle of Nasyeedian Competition (BON) 2013, organized by the Foundation Students Coordination Council (FSCC), International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM); Culture and Art Club (CAC) of the Centre for Foundation Studies (CFS) and Nasyeed Edutainment Sdn. Bhd. (Nasyeed.Com).

The End from Us

The academic session of 2012/2013 is in the end. MAB succeeded in holding many Intra Mahallah programmes – for instance, Muhibbah Team, Forum: DemiMu, Ku Seru, and many more – and in assisting some Inter Mahallah programmes – for instance, Ramadhan Night Festival 1433/2012, Mahallah Ethical Transformation Campaign (MAETCAM) 2013, and many more – throughout academic year 2012/2013. Other than that, our executives of MAB, including the Principal, fellows, administrative staffs, MRC members and Hisbah representatives, also succeeded in serving MAB throughout this academic session after go through obstacles and challenges. Alhamdulillah.

Truly, it’s an honour to us – as a group of the trustees of MAB – to serve and be responsible towards MAB in the academic session of 2012/2013. After our dissolution, we wish Allah will accept our works and efforts towards CFS IIUM, especially towards MAB. Together with this statement, we pray, may Allah SWT helps us in continue our service towards our beloved Islam and Malaysia, especially our beloved CFS IIUM.

We thank you all, especially MAB residents, for your support, advices, pray and cooperation during our service time in MAB. Forgive us for our faults, mistakes and sins throughout this academic session. We pledge to improve ourselves to be the better persons, InsyaAllah.

Statements on Complaints Towards MAB Cafe

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

There are complaints from Mahallah Abu Bakar (MAB) residents and MAB Cafe customers about price at MAB Cafe. MAB Representative Committee (MAB MRC) already reported about this matter to Mr. Principal. He then ordered a survey and inquiry to be conducted by MRC.

According to our calendar, we will conduct Mahallah Survey only in the next semester; but as Mr. Principal ordered a survey about MAB Cafe to be conducted, a survey is conducted only on the MAB Cafe. For that, we still seeking cooperations from MAB residents and MAB Cafe customers to tell us or MAB Office about price at MAB Cafe. We conduct this survey and inquiry using your comments, complaints, suggestions and reports.

Mr. Principal also heard that many MAB residents currently dine at Mahallah Umar al-Khattab (MUK) Cafe everyday. He support and affirm that action.

I saw that there was an action towards MAB Cafe made by some MAB residents to decrease prices of foods and beverages at MAB Cafe.

MAB also received an insistence to change the current contractor of MAB Cafe to the new one. For information, MAB has no power to change it as the power for that matter is reserved only to Administration and Service Department (ADMIN). Sometimes that power is executed by central - IIUM Gombak - Development Division through Facilities, Food and Service Department.

Just now, I made a rough inspection towards MAB Cafe in the capacity of MRC member. There are rumours that MAB Cafe will decrease prices of foods and beverages for students effective from yesterday (4 December). That rumors now are reality - it was realized. We thank those who had took action towards MAB Cafe to decrease prices of their selling.

Please be informed that ADMIN already met the manager of MAB Cafe to discuss about complains towards MAB Cafe received by them. That meeting is one of the causes that made the price of foods and beverages at MAB Cafe are decreased. We appreciate the power exercised by ADMIN through Food and Beverages Unit in solving this matter.

However, MAB still seeking responses from residents and Cafe customers about the new price of the sellings at MAB Cafe. We hope that all will be satisfied with the prices offered by MAB Cafe.

Should you have questions or comments about MAB, please call 03-79462458 or text us at 018-8731480.

I thank you.
