20-22 April 2012 'BAKTI SISWA AT FELDA CHINI 2012'

PIM made a small contribution towards this cause.'Bakti Siswa' is a well known program throughout tertiary education centers in Malaysia, inwhich its main objective is to expose students in community service. This program has been around for many decades, and thus Medical Students' Society (MSC) aims to be the pioneer in IIUM Kuantan Campus in organizing its first 'Bakti Siswa' program. MSC intends to modify this program and make it more comprehensive by incorporating Islamic components,e.g. da'wah in its module.

Medical Students' Society (MSC) has been approached by Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) Chini and welcomed by residents of Felda Chini, Pahang to conduct a medical-based program in the area in collaboration with Jawatankuasa Kemajuan dan Keselamatan Kampung (JKKK) Chini. The program comprises of three modules, i.e. medical check-up, motivational talk and sports and games. Medical check-up would consist of a standardized rapid check-up, which is aimed at all age groups. There will also be general health consultations and mini exhibitions, thus promoting health awareness in the community. In accordance with the main objective of the program, there will be no charges imposed. Besides benefitting the community, medical students will also benefit by gaining experience in performing simple procedures.

The second part of the module, i.e. motivational talk is exclusively for secondary school students. It is based on a unique concept, whereby there is youth-to-youth interaction and sharing moment session. IIUM medical students will talk on career prospects in the health field generally and medical field specifically. This would hopefully motivate the Felda Chini youth, especially Muslim youths in excelling academically and become more comprehensive Muslims.Sports and games is the third part of the module. It is aimed at all age groups and its main objective is to connect with the community at a more relaxed and enjoyable environment. Furthermore, the session also aspires in promoting a healthy lifestyle, which is an extension of the medical check-up objective.

Finally, in accordance with Bakti Siswa's main objective, a foster family (Keluarga Angkat) concept is adopted. Hence, students can gain a firsthand experience in creating a bond with the local community and ukhuwwah can be built. Moreover, they can acquire or enhance their inter-personal skills, which will help significantly when they work as doctors in the future.In the long run, it is hoped that 'Bakti Siswa' programs can be conducted yearly by IIUM Kuantan students to serve as many communities as possible and InsyaAllah propelling IIUM's name at a higher level.

2.0 BACKGROUND

Medical Students' Society (MSC) of IIUM Kuantan is the first ever society established in Kuantan Campus. In 15 years of its existence, MSC IIUM has established itself as one of the best and most active societies amongst medical schools in Malaysia. The first ever 'Bakti Siswa' program by IIUM Kuantan is one of the best ways to improve the quality of IIUM medical students and further improve MSC's reputation.Felda Chini is a famous area amongst university students, where many community-centered activities have been conducted over the years. It also has a very well established and active youth society (Persatuan Belia). However, medical-based programs by medical students have never been organized in the area. Therefore, ADUN Chini and JKKK Felda Chini have invited medical students of IIUM to organize a first ever medical-based program there.

Alhamdulillah, baru dua jam pulang setelah 5 hari 4 malam berkampung di Felda Chini Timur bersama keluarga angkat Encik Salamat dan Pn. Sesiah. Satu pengalaman yang cukup berharga dikutip bersama warga Felda serta 21 lagi rakan-rakan PPIMI di Pekan, Pahang. Kawasan timbalan Perdana Menteri Malaysia, Dato' Najib juga kampung Rifhan Rasuli, anak peneroka Felda Chini Timur merangkap Pengarah Projek Summer Sunshine.

Sekiranya dulu peneroka Felda melalui saat-saat getir untuk hidup, yang bercahayakan lilin, bertadahkan air hujan, telaga dan mata air, serta berjirankan hutan belantara yang bertanah merah, kini warga Felda mampu tersenyum puas, menarik nafas lega dengan pencapaian Felda. Pelbagai bentuk bantuan dan keistimewaan ditawarkan untuk warga peneroka dan ahli keluarganya oleh Felda yang kini telah mencapai status kemodenan, tempat kedua selepas PETRONAS. Perkampungan di Felda Chini Timur mendekatkan aku kepada masyarakat Felda, mengenal cara hidup mereka melalui ekonomi, sosial dan rohani yang jauh berbeza dengan dua buah perkampungan keluarga angkat yang pernah aku sertai sebelum ini di Kg. Endah, Banting, Selangor (2002) dan Kg. Temenin, Kota Tinggi, Johor (2007).

Apakah perbezaannya?

Dari sudut geografi sudah jauh berbeza. Kedudukan Felda di tengah-tengah kawasan penanaman kelapa sawit yang tidak kurang 20km dari jalan utama memperlihatkan keunikan tersendiri. Perkampungan Felda jauh lebih terancang dengan kemudahan sekolah, balai raya, dewan besar, pusat kominiti sukan, kedai-kedai runcit dan pelbagai bentuk kemudahan (just name it la). Sumber pendapatan utama serta pekerjaan yang sama, dan yang menariknya hampir semua rumah di Felda Chini Timur diubah suai semula oleh setiap peneroka dengan landskap dan design yang sama. Jika dilihat dari sudut sosial, amalan kehidupan berkampung seperti gotong-royong, ziarah-menziarahi, bertegur sapa memang kaya namun, masih banyak yang boleh diperbaiki. Sesetengah surau masih sunyi dengan jemaahnya, kebanyakan belianya masih dihimpit budaya 'tidak rajin', kurang keyakinan diri untuk lebih maju. Inilah tugas utama kami ke Felda kali ini. Untuk memberikan semangat dan motivasi kepada rata-rata warga Islam & Melayu agar menggunakan kekuatan dan kebolehan masing-masing untuk meningkatkan kehidupan mereka dan memimpin masyarakat.

Program Motivasi Sek. Men Felda Chini Timur 2

Kehadapan adik-adik kumpulan 6, sekiranya terbaca entry akak kali ini. Alhamdulillah, surat-surat adik telah dibaca. Terima kasih atas perkongsian pengalaman dan perasaan. Harapan akak, agar adik-adik dapat memanfaatkan masa dan peluang yang masih cerah untuk SPM 2008 untuk lebih cemerlang. Ingatlah, sekiranya adik-adik mampu menjaga solat fardhu di awal waktu dengan baik dan berusaha mengelakkan diri dengan perkara-perkara yang sia-sia, adik telah berjaya memulakan satu langkah untuk berjaya, iaitu dengan berDISIPLIN. Menjaga solat mampu membentuk DISIPLIN diri. Insya'Allah, nantikan kiriman surat dari akak. Work hard and Pray Hard.

Mungkin ini saja untuk kali ini. Penat memandu selama 4jam masih tidak hilang. Kaki dan tangan masih sakit penangan futsal. Pertama kali main futsal dan menjadi goalkeeper. ho ho. Yang pasti memang Felda Chini Timur menaikkan sinar-sinar cahaya di mata hati tatkala musim panas yang semakin mangaktifkan melanin di wajah hitam manis tak bersusu ini. Ergh..

Mungkin ada lagi yang akan dikongsi. Minggu ini, minggu berkahwin untuk sahabat-sahabat saya. Bakal makan nasi minyak free untuk tiga hari berturut-turut. Alahai, naikla minyak.
