Overwhelming Support at High Tea

The Muslim Women Bureau of Kelab Golf Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah (KGSSAAS), Shah Alam organised a charity high tea in conjunction with
the Muharram 1429 Hijrah celebrations at Kelab Shah Alam, Selangor Darul Ehsan.

The event, held on Sunday, January 20, 2008 (11 Muharram 1429 H) received unexpected response therefore, the organiser had to request for additional tables to fit in 550 people. All 55 tables were sold out.

The children and staff of Rumah Aman attended the High Tea as invited guests and upon the request of the organiser, the children also took part in showcasing their talent.

The High Tea started with a doa from Muhammad Redha Yassin,9, followed by a short welcome and thank you note in English by Muhammad Izzat Junaidi, 8. Muhammad Firdan Rahmat, 9, then led his fellow “brothers” in reciting their daily doas in Arabic followed with an English translation.

The boys wrapped up their performance with a Malay song entitled Akrab Persabahatan (True Friendship) and an English song entitled The Wheel of the Bus to the delight of Yang Mulia, Tengku Puteri Arafiah Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah – sister to His Majesty, Sultan of Selangor and other contributors.

A video presentation on Rumah Aman and its activities was also shown followed by a graphic animation of Rumah Aman 2 building, scheduled to be built this year when enough funds have been raised, insya-Allah.

At the High Tea, a talk entitled Hijratur Rasul – Liku Perjalanan Insan Cemerlang (Hijratur Rasul – The Journey of an Excellent Man) was presented in an interactive manner with slide shows by Ustaz Dzulkarnaian Hamzah and Ustaz Haslin Baharin.

The Muslim Women Bureau of KGSSAAS managed to raise about RM30,000.00 from the High Tea, all of which were donated to Rumah Aman.

The children and the staff of Rumah Aman would like to take this opportunity to give a big thank you to the Muslim Women Bureau of KGSSAAS and also to the staff of Kelab Shah Alam who had done their best to ensure the evening was a success.
