*I met Ustaz Harun Din - written HERE*

.

Dubai.

Saturday 24th, May 2008.

MyUAE-PRO AJK met for the second time. All actions from previous meeting were reviewed. Here below are ten points from my note.

1. Information portal : Will be completed by end June per schedule. Once ready, these information will be made available to registered members. The AJK is still considering options on the format in which these information will be presented. One idea discussed was to produce CDs with sponsors' messages - and given free to registered members. The final decision will be decided at the next meeting.
2. E-forum will be launched before end June at the latest, and registered members will have access to post comments, queries etc. This e-forum will have a more business like format if compared to the existing malaysian-uae yahoogroup.
3. Various small group meetings have taking place more actively since the inaugration of MyUAE-PRO. These Malaysians get together were part of activities encouraged by MyUAE-PRO to bring Malaysians closer together.
4. As part of the 'development' activity towards a more complete professional - there will be a session on spiritual development this Thursday night. Details will be announced soon in malaysian-uae yahoo group. The Penceramah Jemputan this time will be Saudara Azmil Mustapha - once a popular actor.
5. As part of 'social' activity - there will be a soccer tournament this coming Friday between Malaysian and Singapore teams. All are invited to come and support your favourite team. There will also be team T-shirts and Jerseys for sale, as part of fund collection to support future activities. During the half-time period, there will 'penalty kicks' open for spectators. Pay 10 dirham for three chances to score and win a prize!
6. A bowling tournament is also being organized in June! Watch out for more details!
7. MyUAE-PRO is fully endorsed by the Consul General and will be registered with the Consulate, and the AJK will also be making a presentation to the embassy in Abu Dhabi to seek consent for an official patronage.
8. The AJK spent significant time discussing details on organizing an important event to be held in two weeks time. More details after an official announcement from the CG's office.
9. On matters arising, a member of the AJK raised concern about 'camps' or 'puak-puak' which to his understanding appears to exist between Malaysians in Dubai. The meeting acknowledge existence of such impression and regret that in a small community of Malaysians in this farway place from home there are individuals who have taken divisive stands. Instead of being drawn into negative discussion, the AJK resolved to focus on MyUAE-PRO objectives: a) Provide relevant information and key directories b) Provide 'development' opportunities in areas of physical, social, spiritual and professional. (Refer above for specific activities which are coming soon) c) Sharing job opportunities amongst Malaysians. The AJK will focus on the above! MyUAE PRO's underlying aim is to unite!
10. Another concern raised by another AJK member were questions received by Malaysians about what are the benefits of registering as members? Answer: Members will be able to access to the information portal, participate in e-forums and be counted in important communication or updates concerning MyUAE-PRO. By registering, it will enable members to be reached effectively when there are important information and news to be communicated.

Best wishes to all Malaysian children who are facing exams currently!!
