Scriptures for Meditation throughout the 40 days 2 Corinthians 5 3 Pray 4 Malaysia Week 1 Scriptures for Meditation Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. Now it is God who has made us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. 2 Corinthians 5:1-5 4 40-Day Fast and Prayer 22 July 2006, Saturday: Be Holy The God that we worship is a holy God. He wants us to be holy and has called us to be holy. “After all, I, the LORD, am your God. You must be holy because I am holy.” (Leviticus 11:44a) Pray 1. Confess all your wrongdoing, whether they are bad thoughts or bad actions or bad words. 2. Strength to obey His Word and to do what is right. 3. Self-control and courage to reject evil. 4. To seek God with all our heart. 5. To overcome difficulties in life, and be holy and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Before I sleep or wake up, the first thing I do is pray. Prayer is talking to God and asking forgiveness for my sins. Gabriel Hardin, 12 years old 5 Pray 4 Malaysia 23 July 2006, Sunday: Pastors & Leaders Pastors, church leaders and even our parents help Jesus look after us. They give their time and energy to teach, lead, comfort, and discipline us. Sometimes, they get criticisms and complaints. No wonder they are often exhausted! They need our encouragement and prayers. When they fail, we need to pray for them to rise again. Without them, we will be lost. Jesus says, “I in them and You in me, all being perfected into one. Then the world will know that You sent me and will understand that You love them as much as You love me” (John 17:23). Pray 1. Thank God for our parents, pastors and church leaders, Sunday school teachers and youth advisors. 2. They may be wise, strong and courageous to do what is right. 3. They make time to rest and draw strength from Jesus. 4. Anointing in preaching, in binding and healing the broken-hearted. 5. They may be holy and competent, capable of leading even in difficult times. 6. They will grow closer in their relationship with God. God answered my prayers whenever I ask for Him for help to go through my parents’ discipline.

The Cabinet ministers usually meet each week to discuss and make plans for the nation. “We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps” Proverbs 16:9 Pray 1. God will direct the Cabinet members so that they make decisions that are wise, fair and honest. 2. They hate dishonesty, and stay away from corruption and immorality. 3.

John Tneoh, 15 years old 8 40-Day Fast and Prayer 26 July 2006, Wednesday The Judiciary means (a) a system of courts of law, and (b) the judges in the Federal Court, the High Courts and the Subordinate Courts of Malaysia. The head of Judiciary is the Chief Justice Ahmad Fairuz Sheikh Abdul Halim. It is important that judges make wise and just decisions in accordance with the laws of the land, which is the Federal Constitution. This is important to God for He is righteous and loves justice (see Psalm 11:7). Pray 1. Judges to make decisions wisely, without bias, and according to the laws, not according to their personal preferences or what other people might think. 2. God gives them wisdom and courage to do what is right. 3. They will be men and women of integrity - honest and upright. 4. They will respect Malaysians’ right to choose their religion. 5. God will bless them as they uphold truth and righteousness. We can talk to God about people whom we care. Julia Koh, 9 years old 9 Pray 4 Malaysia 27 July 2006, Thursday The mission of the Ministry of Defence (Minister Dato’ Sri Najib Tun Razak) is to protect the sovereignty, stability, interests and strategic rights of the nation. The Ministry of Internal Security (Minister Dato’ Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi) has the task of ensuring public peace and order so that society is protected from danger. One of its jobs is issuing publishing permits and controlling publications.

Pray 1. The three ministers named above will lead their ministries wisely. 2. The officials of the Ministries of Internal Security and Home Affairs will carry out their duties with wisdom and honesty. 3. All departments will provide efficient and honest public services.

  • July-December, 2010 International Religious Freedom Report » East Asia and Pacific » Malaysia
    Malaysia Page 1 of 12 Home » Under Secretary for Democracy and Global Affairs » Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor » Releases » International Religious Freedom » July-December, 2010 International Religious Freedom Report » East Asia and Pacific » Malaysia Malaysia BUREAU OF DEMOCRACY, HUMAN RIGHTS, AND LABOR July-December, 2010 International Religious Freedom Report Report September 13, 2011 The constitution protects freedom of religion; however, portions of the constitution as well as other laws and policies placed some restrictions on religious freedom. The constitution gives the federal and state governments the power to "control or restrict the propagation of any religious doctrine or belief among persons professing the religion of Islam." The constitution also defines ethnic Malays as Muslim. Civil courts generally ceded authority to Sharia (Islamic law) courts on cases concerning conversion from Islam, and Sharia courts remained reluctant to allow for such conversions. There was no change in the status of respect for religious freedom by the government during the reporting period. Muslims generally may not legally convert to another religion, although members of other religions may convert to Islam. Officials at the federal and state government levels oversee Islamic religious activities, and sometimes influence the content of sermons, use mosques to convey political messages, and prevent certain imams from speaking at mosques. The government maintains a dual legal system, whereby Sharia courts rule on religious and family issues involving Muslims and secular courts rule on other issues pertaining to both Muslims and the broader population. Government policies promoted Islam above other religions. Minority religious groups remained generally free to practice their beliefs; however, over the past several years, many have expressed concern that the civil court system has gradually ceded jurisdictional control to Sharia courts, particularly in areas of family law involving disputes between Muslims and non-Muslims.

  • The Role of Parents in Educational Change and Its Implications for the Educationsystem in Malaysia
    Prosiding Seminar Nasional FIP 2020 Halaman: 312 - 327 ISBN 978-602-50898-7-9 THE ROLE OF PARENTS IN EDUCATIONAL CHANGE AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR THE EDUCATIONSYSTEM IN MALAYSIA CHEOW LE YI MOHD IZHAM BIN HJ. MOHD HAMZAH Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This concept paper aims to identify the role of parents in educational change. Parental involvement in the school should be increased as it can affect student achievement and boost school excellence. Reforms and changes in schools cannot be implemented effectively and completely without the support of parents. The findings of previous studies found that elements such as demographics and social background of parents were found to affect parental involvement in school. In addition, the results of previous studies also show that the formation of parents' identities as partners and the practice of creating space for parents greatly encourage them to be actively involved.However, research shows that parental involvement in schools across Malaysia has not yet reached a proud level. This concept paper has implications for policy, training, the Ministry of Education Malaysia (MOE), administrators and teachers in terms of recognizing the identity of parents as partners who can contribute to the school, adopt an open door policy, and promote openness through creating space and various forms of activities to encourage parental participation. In conclusion, the emphasis on parental involvement as a core feature is very important because it can contribute to the effectiveness of the school management. Keywords: parental involvement, educational change,Malaysian education system ​ According to Mohammed Sani Ibrahim and on increasing factors within the school, such as MohdIzhamMohdHamzah (2012), change is teaching and student achievement, but ignore considered as something dynamic and involves a external influences such as racial structure, process of continuous development and growth in community and poverty.

  • Remarks by the Honorable Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar
    By : DATUK SERI SYED HAMID ALBAR Venue : PUTRAJAYA Date : 22 APRIL 2004 Title : REMARKS AT THE OPENING CEREMONY OF THE SPECIAL MEETING OF THE OIC ON THE MIDDLE EAST The Honorable Dato' Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi Prime Minister of Malaysia H.E. Dr Abdelouahed Belkeziz, Secretary General of OIC Excellencies Ladies and Gentlemen Assalamu'alaikum Warahmatullahhibarokatuh, I would like to thank The Honorable Dato' Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, Prime Minister of Malaysia today for his presence at this Special Meeting. I also thank delegates from other countries for their attendance. I know we have given very short notice but your attendance shows the importance and relevancy for this meeting to be held. As Chairman of the 10th OIC summit, Malaysia feels duty bound to call for this meeting amidst the problems and crisis facing the Muslim world and the Ummah. We witness the continued violence in the Middle East, be it in Palestine or Iraq and we also witness the arrogance of power and total disregard for international law and the multilateral process.
