MOTIVATION & SELF-DEVELOPMENT COURSE AT PULAU SANTAP KAMPONG JANDA BAIK
On Sunday 23rd of May 2004, Dr. Kamarul conducted the first of the series of motivation and self-development camp for the benefit of 46 orphans at Rumah Ilham (Yayasan Anak-Anak Yatim Pinggir Taman Tun Dr. Ismail). The session was conducted entirely outdoors at Pulau Santap, Kampong Janda Baik. The session was covered by Bernama and was shown on Astro News at 8.30pm the same night.
In the news segment, Dr. Kamarul revealed that his inspiration came after reading the statement made by Malaysia's Prime Minister, Dato' Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi that the poor should not remain poor. This got Dr. Kamarul thinking on how he can best use his skills and expertise in helping the poor to help themselves. He is urging trainers to offer free motivation and self-development courses for orphans throughout Malaysia. As Dr. Kamarul is a firm believer of leading by example, he has chosen to conduct the first of the training series himself, helped by his wife Zaleha and co-sponsored by the publishers, Thomson Learning.
DR KAMARUL AND FACULTY OF BUSINESS & ACCOUNTANCY, UNIVERSITY OF MALAYA
Dr Kamarul has spearheaded the "Giving Back to Society" campaign in 2009 by involving the undergraduate students of the faculty at UM. As one of the projects in the course "Organizational Behaviour" students are required to do a group project/activity. Students were encouraged to involve themselves in some charitable event or voluntary work that involves giving back to society and all projects had to be approved by Dr Kamarul himself before proceeding. The intention is to inculcate the habit of charity work in minds of the students at an early stage. Also by splitting the students into teams and overseeing such work, Dr Kamarul feels that the impact of "Giving Back to Society" can be felt stronger and wider. In line with Dato' Sri Najib's 1 Malaysia concept, no distinction is made to race nor religion
Since this is the first of the pioneering project and students have limited finances, students are required to think creatively and discover a way of giving back to society without involving the use of much money - hence creativity, effort and time are the main resources here. However, students, due to their benevolent nature, could not help but donate some of their hard earned allowances for the benefit of the more needy.
The following are pictures from the various teams of students doing the charity work. All activities were done WITHOUT any funding from UM. Hopefully, with the success of this project, UM can be persuaded in the future to agree donate/allocate a certain amount of fund to each team of students in Organizational Behavour (CBEB 2303) for future semesters.
