Updated Welfare issues

Yesterday, our Vice President, Bro. Sharif bin Ahmad had meeting with several departments in IIUM Kuantan to lighten up several issues. This is the outcome from the meetings:

1. Replacement of tables & chairs at CF Bro Cafe: Mdm Haliza (FFSD) apologizes as the promised replacement for tables and chairs at CF Bro cafe had been delayed due to some technical matters. The budget has been approved and the new due date for replacement of the tables and chairs is by January 2012.

2. Bus stops at IIUM: We requested from Development of IIUM to build 15 bus stops at IIUM. Alhamdulillah, from 15, 8 were approved. The location will be announced later.

3. Ustaz Azhar Idrus: The approval letter to invite Ustaz Azhar Idrus to come to IIUM has been approved by our Campus Director, Prof. Kamaruzzaman Wan Su. Now, we have to arrange a proper date & time with Ustaz Azhar for him to come to IIUM. We will announced later the date.

4. The progress of installing RO water: still searching for the right tender. We requested FFSD to solve this matter as soon as possible until by next semester. For students, please be patient.

5. Loan for students who wants to get married: IIUM can give loan up to RM1000 for one person. If both couples are the students from IIUM, they can have up to RM2000. Just for first-time married.

6. Increment of food price: We have informed FFSD reagrding this matter. Unfortunately, we don't have enough evidence to accused the operator. You can always cooperate with "FOOD SQUAD MAHALLAH MAIMUNAH" to prepare a report with evidence. Noted that those operator is still in 6 month of trial (end by this March). So, give your feedback as soon as you can before the long tender will be given.

7. Green Campaign: Biodegradable food packaging has been proposed and FFSD are welcoming this idea and ready to give budget and stuffs. But this motion has to come from student itself. (The cost for one biodegradable food package is about RM0.20 while the ordinary polysterene is about RM0.05) If any clubs or society, wants to help us on this matter, please do contact us.

8. Koperasi Siswa (KOSISWA): We will proposed to establish a student's shop. There are 2 lots at new OSC building that can allocate any shops tender that can be operate there. We want to hear from yourself, what would be a demanding shop for students to be put at new OSC building. Feel free to drop your comments below.
