Assalamualaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh,
Two weeks ago, there was a notice circulated around UTM that there will be disruption of electricity starting midnight until 7am this morning. Everyone was prepared for it and announcement has been made all over the whole campus. Two weeks ago, when I read the notice I phone the person in-charged to inquire further so that I can plan what actions can be made from our college to prevent unwanted incidents like break-in, theft, etc. because this is a female-only college. The officer explained that at midnight, the electricity will be cut off from the power station for maintenance and UTM will generate its own electricity and supply it stage by stage to the whole campus. He offered to supply the first generation of electricity to our college to answer my worry. Alhamdulillah.
That is what the officer has promised and alhamdulillah, he delivered his promise. There was actually no electricity disruption at all the whole night at our college. The rest of the campus didn't have any electricity for a short while. Really have to thank the officer for his kind co-operation. I slept before midnight and woke up for suhur. The light is still on, alhamdulillah. A simple test of blackout can actually teach everyone a lesson to be thankful of what we have. InshaALLAH a month of fasting will teach us a lesson to be thankful of what we have our dining table everyday.
Wassalam.

International students
Assalamualaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh,
Last night, after the terawih, one of our assistant fellow called for a meeting with all the international students at the college. There are basically 20-ish of them. Some have just moved here at the beginning of this semester and some have been here for at least 2 semesters. The point of the meeting is to let them know the rules and regulations of the college because at most of the time, all the announcements and booklets are in Malay. They don't really know what is happening in the college. They only live here because they have no choice. The worst is that they are paying more than the local students but aren't getting extra facilities.
There are a few from Iran and Turkey and one each from Sri Lanka, Iraq, Bangladesh and China. They are all muslim students who are doing various kinds of degree. While we were discussing the rules and regulations, they raised complains and issues that we cannot answered them. So we had to call the Principal (who is supposed to come to the meeting) to answer their questions. Alhamdulillah, they get to make their complains to the Principal and I really hope that the Principal is not just giving empty promises to them but to try and improve their situation here.
Finally, we appointed a representative among them and informed them the facilities that they can actually asked from the college if they want to organise some kind of activities among themselves. Hopefully this will increase their participation at the college and take away some benefits or sweet memories from this college.
Wassalam.

O mankind! We created you from a single (pair of a) male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, so that you may know each other. Verily the most honored of you in the sight of ALLAH is (one who is) the most righteous of you...~ The Holy Qur'an, Surah al-Hujurat
(Chapter 49, The Room) verse 13
