The event was organized and collaborated with a few other clubs in South Australia. Its aim was to reach out to the students regarding the issue of Al-Aqsa and received an overwhelming response from students.
It started at 3:00pm with a short media presentation by the speaker, Ustaz Hj. Shahool. The talk continued on until approximately 4:30pm which then the last half an hour was left for short questions and answers session.

Ustaz Hj. Shahool stressed the importance to excel in studies so the next generation could transform into a trend-setter society rather than a consumer society. By becoming a point reference to others puts the Islamic society a level above everyone else and believes this could change the perception of others towards Islam. Also highlighted, was ways to help fellow Muslim brothers and sisters in Palestine through financial aid besides prayers for them. It is believed that parents should also play their role in enhancing self-knowledge regarding the Israel invasion towards Palestine so as children are aware of the matter.

The world is currently tainted with facts that have been altered in favour of the Jews. It is helpful and beneficial to organize and attend more talks like this. The session ended at 5:00pm with Asar prayers performed together as a Jemaah.

Veteran journalist Shamsul Akmar, in a statement Thursday on behalf of the Malaysian delegation, said: “Glad to hear about the release of fellow Malaysians, although we are concerned that they were not treated well.

“Hope we don’t have to go through the same ordeal but that choice is not ours. We are prepared to face whatever situation that awaits us. We are determined to go ahead and carry on with this mission.

“Hopefully, with international pressure and backing from the various governments, we will be able to go further and be given safe passage to Gaza. Everyone on board is in high spirits,” he added.

On Monday, the Mavi Marmara, leading a convoy of six vessels bound for Gaza to deliver aid to 100,000 Palestinians, was stormed by Israeli forces in international waters. At least nine activitist on board the ship were killed, while the rest, including 12 Malaysians, were detain. They have since been released, and the 12 are expected to be back in Malaysia by Sunday.

Eighteen Malaysians volunteers were involved in the humanitarian mission, with six on board the Rachel Corrie, which was not part of the convoy as it was delayed due to mechanical problems.

The global community has condemned the attack.

Malaysia will go bust by 2019 if it continues to accumulate debt at the current rate of 12 per cent a year, a minister said. To avoid the “Greek incident”, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Idris Jala said the subsidies given to various sectors must be rationalised.

“Our debt currently amounts to RM362 billion. We don’t want to end up bankrupt like Greece with a debt of E 300 billion (RM1.2 trillion).

“If we continue to borrow money at the current rate, we will go bankrupt in 2019 with a debt of RM1,158 billion,” said Idris, who is also the chief executive officer of the Performance Management and Delivery Unit (Pemandu).

The government has made recommendations to increase prices of subsidised big ticket items such as fuel, gas, food and toll.

“The time for subsidy rationalisation is now. Otherwise, we have a time bomb on our hands,” Idris remarked.

He said based on the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) data, Malaysia’s subsidy spending as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) was a staggering 11 per cent between 2006 and last year. This was almost three times more than non-OECD countries like the Philippines and 55 times more than Switzerland, an OECD country.

“Our subsidy bill is not sustainable, especially in light of the rising budget deficit and government debt (as a percentage of GDP).

“It is higher than Indonesia at 28 per cent and getting closer to the Philippines at 62 per cent,” he highlighted.

Idris said studies by Bank Negara Malaysia showed that inflation should rise to four per cent from 2011 to 2013, before slowing at three per cent post-2013 under “a less subsidised” environment.

He also said 97 per cent of the subsidies are dispensed on a “blanket” basis.

“It is given to everyone regardless of income level, for example, subsidised primary, secondary and tertiary education, medical services, petrol, sugar and cooking oil, as well as welfare aid and susten ance allowance.”
