Dif-dif jemputan.

Pertama sekali, izinkan saya untuk memperkenalkan beberapa NGO yang mendapat manfaat secara langsung daripada semua usaha kami pada hari ini dan sumbangan-sumbangan para hadirin sekalian. Saya ingin memulakan dengan Lembaga Kebajikan Perempuan Islam Malaysia, atau singkatannya LKPIM; sebuah NGO yang berobjektifkan kebajikan dan keagamaan.

LKPIM is headquartered in Jalan Pantai Baharu, Kuala Lumpur, with branches in every state. LKPIM Pahang is very fortunate to have our own building, which was given by KDYMM Sultan Pahang, Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah, who is also the patron of Lembaga Kebajikan Perempuan Islam Malaysia Pahang.

LKPIM Pahang bergerak aktif dalam menjalankan aktivitinya. Antaranya membantu mangsa-mangsa bencana alam seperti banjir dan kebakaran, program motivasi untuk pelajar, sumbangan kepada orang asli serta ceramah keagamaan dan kesihatan. Aktiviti ini dijalankan sepanjang tahun secara bergilir-gilir di daerah-daerah dalam negeri Pahang.

The next NGO was incorporated in March 2000 as a service centre and shelter home for all persons who have been physically, sexually and mentally abused and battered.

It is the Yayasan Sri Kencana Kalsom known as YSKK mempunyai hubungan yang rapat dan kerjasama yang erat daripada Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat, pihak Polis dan semua hospital di daerah-daerah negeri Pahang, bagi semua kes yang dirujuk. YSKK juga menerima kes-kes dari negeri-negeri lain.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank His Royal Highness Sultan of Pahang for allocating a double storey detached building to YSKK to be used as its centre and a vehicle for work related transportation.

Honourable guests,

The following NGO is one that I also hold dear to my heart as the role it plays is most crucial in the development and care of unfortunate children, The Kiwanis Club.

The KIWANIS Club of Kuantan was set-up in 2000 as a community day care centre to assist in educating children affected by Down Syndrome, Autism and Aspergers. This centre also helps to prepare these children to adjust when they enter the national school curriculum, as we believe that no child should be cast aside.

Distinguished guests,

As some of you may already know, The Sultan Ahmad Shah Environment Trust, also known as SASET, was established based on the spirit and care of YAM Tengku Ariff Temenggong Pahang, Tengku Fahd Mua’dzam Shah, the youngest son of the Sultan of Pahang, towards the conservation of the environment, which is fully supported by his beloved father KDYMM Sultan Pahang, as Patron. KDYMM Tuanku Sultan also bestowed the initial funds for SASET to kick start its activities.

Aktiviti utama yang melibatkan SASET adalah penanaman semula pokok hutan melalui program-program seperti Go Green With SASET dan SASET One Youth. Program ‘SATU RAKYAT SATU POKOK’ kini sedang diusahakan bagi mencapai angka SATU PERPULUHAN LIMA JUTA pokok hutan yang ditanam semula di negeri Pahang.

And finally, the last but certainly not least, I would like to introduce the Malaysia Crime Prevention Foundation Pahang (MCPF) of which my son, Tengku Ariff Temenggong is also the Deputy Chairman. The objective of MCPF is mainly to promote public awareness in crime prevention. IN conjunction with His Royal Highness The Sultan of Pahang’s 40th Jubilee Celebration, 50% of the funds collected from the sale of SAS car registration numbers, which were allocated by the Road Transport Department, will go towards the building of MCPF headquarters in Pahang.

MCPF to date has spent approximately RM300,000 for various charitable activities and school programs in Pahang.

We would also like to thank Tan Sri Vincent Tan for his generous contributions towards innumerable charities registered in the state of Pahang. We would like to thank Tan Sri Lim Kok Wing for his continuous support to the state of Pahang.

As the Chairman and Patron for all NGOs mentioned, and there are few I haven't, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all of our sponsors, as without their kind assistance and generosity, it would have been near impossible for the NGOs to carry out their good work. I would also like to thank the Pahang State Government, as well as all the volunteers and individuals involved, for the time and effort invested in realising these activities.

And finally, let us not forget, a great big thank you, must be accorded to the team, participants and everyone who had worked tirelessly and most efficiently in making this Islamic Fashion Festival 2014 a success. I’d better not start thanking individuals by name, otherwise I will be on the stage the whole night long :))

Thank you.

Wabillahitaufiq walhidayah
