THURSDAY, 6 OCTOBER – The recent Seminar on Mission in a Plural Society (DDMM) Phase 3 at the Main Lecture Hall 2, Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) received an overwhelming response with participation of nearly 80 from the public and staff of UMS itself.

The DDMM Seminar jointly organised by the Islamic Centre of UMS, Hidayah Centre of Sabah and the IKRAM Malaysia Sabah Branch was officiated by the Director of Islamic Centre UMS, Dr. Muhammad Suhaimi Taat.

“My hope for the futue is to see more participants from among the new converts and UMS staff to better understand their responsibilities to preach among plural society through interaction with the speakers directly,” he added.

The two-day seminar was conducted by six guest speakers, Ustaz Haji M. Rapi Manji from SMKA Limauan; Haji Marsus Jabar from UiTM Sabah; Surahman Salam from SMK Benoni; Papar and speakers from Hidayah Centre Foundation; Tuan Haji Burhanuddin A. Ghani, Wan Muhammad Wan Ibrahim and Joannes Lukas. – (fl)
