Pengerusi Yayasan Sukarelawan Siswa (YSS), Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye, berpendapat jika pelajar dibenarkan pulang pada skala besar pada satu-satu masa, ia mengundang kebimbangan terhadap penularan virus terbabit.

“Saya menyambut baik kenyataan Menteri Kanan (Keselamatan), Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob bahawa Majlis Keselamatan Negara (MKN) merangka SOP (prosedur operasi standard) yang mesti dipatuhi semua pelajar IPT.

“Saya rasa perkara ini amat mendesak dan saya faham perasaan pelajar yang tidak dapat pulang. Jika Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) dilanjutkan lagi, saya khuatir pelajar akan berdepan tekanan, keresahan dan kebimbangan,” katanya ketika dihubungi BH, semalam.

Lam Thye juga menyarankan setiap pelajar dibenarkan pulang, perlu menjalani saringan kesihatan selain menjaga disiplin diri dengan mengamalkan penjarakan sosial, duduk di rumah dan tidak mengingkari PKP.

“Kerajaan sedang melakukan yang terbaik untuk semua pelajar dan saya berharap mereka bersabar serta mematuhi SOP ditetapkan MKN,” katanya.

YSS dalam kenyataannya berkata, pek mengandungi makanan kering seperti mi segera, minuman tiga dalam satu dan biskut itu mula diagihkan kepada 1,213 mahasiswa di beberapa IPT di Selangor, Kuala Lumpur dan Negeri Sembilan.

“Bantuan ini adalah sumbangan daripada ‘Dana Kita’ kepada YSS bernilai kira-kira RM20,000 untuk disalurkan sebagai keperluan mahasiswa mengharungi PKP di IPT.

“YSS melaksanakan inisiatif ini dengan kerjasama agensi kerajaan dan badan bukan kerajaan (NGO) dalam usaha membantu mahasiswa yang terkesan akibat PKP sejak 18 Mac lalu,” katanya di sini, hari ini.

Pada masa sama, pihak YSS berkata, proses agihan ini membabitkan tiga fasa bermula minggu lalu iaitu pengumpulan, pembahagian dan penyerahan barang sumbangan sehingga esok.

Katanya, Menteri Pengajian Tinggi, Datuk Dr Noraini Ahmad, turut terbabit dalam sesi pembungkusan bersama Ketua Setiausaha Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi, Datuk Seri Mazlan Yusoff; Pengerusi Yayasan Sukarelawan Siswa (YSS), Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye, dan Setiausaha Agong NGO Dana Kita, Dr Wan Ahmad Faiz.

Perkara itu dicadangkan Pengerusi Yayasan Sukarelawan Siswa (YSS), Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye, jika kerajaan membenarkan pelajar yang terkandas di kampus, pulang ke pangkuan keluarga masing-masing.

Beliau berkata, jika pelajar dibenarkan pulang pada skala yang besar pada satu masa, ia mengundang kebimbangan penularan virus terbabit.

“Saya menyambut baik kenyataan Menteri Kanan (Keselamatan), Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob bahawa Majlis Keselamatan Negara (MKN) sedang merangka SOP (prosedur operasi standard) yang mesti dipatuhi semua pelajar IPT (untuk pulang ke kampung halaman masing-masing).

“Saya merasakan perkara ini amat mendesak dan saya faham perasaan pelajar yang tidak dapat pulang. Jika Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) dilanjutkan lagi, saya khuatir pelajar ini akan berdepan tekanan, keresahan dan kebimbangan,” katanya ketika dihubungi BH, hari ini.

Lam Thye berkata, setiap pelajar yang dibenarkan pulang perlu menjalani saringan kesihatan termasuk pemeriksaan suhu badan dan pengesanan gejala.

Katanya, pelajar terbabit juga harus menjaga disiplin diri dengan mengamalkan penjarakan sosial, duduk di rumah dan tidak mengingkari PKP.

“Kerajaan sedang melakukan yang terbaik untuk semua pelajar dan saya berharap supaya mereka bersabar serta mematuhi SOP ditetapkan MKN,” katanya.

Ismail Sabri pada sidang media hariannya di Putrajaya semalam, memaklumkan MKN sedang merangka SOP mesti dipatuhi semua pelajar IPT ketika kembali ke pangkuan keluarga, apabila dibenarkan berbuat demikian.

Beliau dilaporkan berkata, kerajaan sedia mempertimbangkan kepulangan kira-kira 100,000 pelajar ke pangkuan keluarga masing-masing selepas memperhalusi SOP yang perlu dipatuhi.

Jelasnya, Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi (KPT), Kementerian Kesihatan (KKM) dalam perbincangan dengan MKN bagi menyediakan SOP berkenaan.

Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif YSS, KPT, Muhammad Aiman Mohd Zain, berkata inisiatif Tabung Prihatin COVID-19 ini selaras dengan hasrat KPT membantu meringankan beban mahasiswa yang berada di kampus sejak PKP dilaksanakan 18 Mac lalu.

Muhammad Aiman berkata, sumbangan itu telah diagihkan kepada mahasiswa di enam IPT yang dikenalpasti terdiri dari golongan B40 dari keluarga yang terjejas akibat PKP.

Menurut beliau, tabung yang dilancarkan pada 26 Mac lalu turut mendapat sokongan padu daripada semua pihak termasuk luar.

They were involved in painting murals, providing a new paint coat for the toilets’ walls, as well as fixing curtains and bookshelves, among others.

In a statement, YSS chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye said the project would benefit 350 Orang Asli in the village in line with the Education Ministry’s aspiration to transform Malaysia into a “reading nation” by 2020.

“With the mini library, the community here can finally make use of such a facility which was previously unavailable,” he said.

SME Bank group strategic chief officer Aiza Azreen Ahmad said the mini library project would serve as the local information centre for children to gain knowledge from.

“Through reading, we can educate and enrich ourselves from the many aspects of knowledge and information as well, other than upgrading our way of life.

“We will also be able to compete and move forward in a challenging world which is moving fast with technology.”

It recognises youth engagement in terms of personality, leadership, contribution and experiences in volunteerism.

“I felt honoured and grateful to receive this award, which reflects my involvement in society, especially in youth development programmes,” said Terengganu-born Dailami.

“This award will continue to inspire and encourage me to keep moving forward with my future endeavours in community service, social and leadership projects.

“I have proven that my efforts throughout the years are not in vain. Significantly, I also believed that this award boosts my confidence in pacing through the path I have chosen.”

Being an active student not only during school years, but also throughout his university life proved that Dailami managed to balance his studies.

“My classes are on Saturdays, a full day from morning to evening. I usually arrive around 8am and by noon I consider it as the networking period, where I’ll have lunch with my classmates because the majority of them are chief executive officers running their own companies.

“This helps me widen my network,” he added.

Dailami is pursuing his doctorate in Entrepreneurship Development at Unirazak to expand his effort and knowledge as an entrepreneur.

When he was doing his bachelor’s degree in marine engineering (architecture and ship construction) at UniKL, Dailami was active in volunteerism and leadership activities.

“I was not the kind of person who think of only studying all the time. No matter how busy I was, I always found a way to be active and contribute to the nation and others.

“I was involved in a lot of extracurricular activities, including volunteering missions whether locally or internationally, such as in Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand.”

Dailami participated in the Asean-India Student Exchange Programme 2013, International Youth Conference in Jakarta in 2013, and Japan-East Asia Network of Exchange for Students and Youth, or JENESYS, in 2016.

He recalled his participation at the Green Summer Volunteering Campaign 2014 in Vietnam, which required him to be there for a month. Sponsored by Yayasan Sukarelawan Siswa, he and other volunteers helped local communities in “gotong royong” activities, besides cleaning up farms, repairing bridges and giving free tuition.

“That was a chance for me to know more about Vietnamese custom and culture. In fact, we also provided exposure to Vietnamese volunteers so that they too could better understand Malaysia as we are all in the Asean community.

“I am also the founding President of UniKL-MIMET Rakan Muda Secretariat (SRM) in 2014, that helps to shape leadership and volunteerism spirit among the students.

“I believed that the keys to my success are a good time management skills and persistency. With these two, I can actually decide what I want and strive for it. My greatest goal in life as well as my personal goal is to achieve as much success as I could and use it to shape the individual I strive to be,” he said, who was also a rugby player where he represented his university.

He added that playing on the field shaped his self-confidence. Dailami, who looks up to Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Albukhary, said always “be persistent in your road to achieve success and never give up until you make it”.

“For me, how Syed Mokhtar built up his own empire as a businessman was inspiring and I do wish one day, I will be able to achieve what he had achieved,” said Dailami, who also had an experience working as an offshore engineer with Petronas for two years.
