2015 ANNUAL REVIEW CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE Assalammualaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh, Peace be upon all of you. The year 2015 is starkly an important year for Mercy Mission Malaysia where we invest heavily into our education agenda along with the maturity of our existing social charitable projects. Although every projects under Mercy Mission have their own success stories to be shared and inspirational in their respective ways, one of the highlights for the year is our latest project which is the Seven Skies International School (“SSI”). Despite the infrastructural and operational challenges that goes along with it, the urgent demand to have an excellent and wholesome educational package imbued with Islamic Ethos has been the key driver and motivation for Mercy Mission to establish a good quality institution by the Muslim community, for the Muslim community in Malaysia. A year of operation with a total of 110 students, with 34 full time dedicated paid sta, all of this simply because we aspire our children to become lifelong learners, responsible individuals, and independent entrepreneurs. And certainly all of our achievements to date can never be realized without the huge and constant support from all of you, the Malaysian public who have been instrumental thus far. As we gather and renew our vision for the next 5 years in Mercy Mission, we hope for your continuous support and generosity. We urge people to come forward and speak to us and help us in many ways and forms, as we aspire to strive for a world where every Muslim is able to live faithfully to their belief and building an exemplary Islamic community that benefits humanity. For that, is of course, the vision of Prophet Muhammad on whom be peace. Jazakallah khair kathira.
