OUR MISSION - in brief

PPIMI & PMC ISLAMIC SOCIETY aspires to broaden the scope of activities to serve Muslim welfare at international scale. We have chosen China for this year’s mission as for its abundance of historical ties to our country Malaysia. According to history, the Malays are the descendants of the Yunnans and hopefully we would learn more of the history and culture of our forgotten roots.

The extraordinary Chinese traders have also played a prominent role in the spreading of Islam in the Malay Archipelago since the early 15th century. The active preaching of Islam during the Sultanate of Malacca has bore more than 13 million Muslims in Malaysia today with Malays being the majority. China has more than 30 million Muslim populations in which their existence has been relatively unknown to their Chinese counterparts in Malaysia.

We do hope that this mission will help to show that there are also Chinese that are muslims other than Malay muslims, a typical stereotype view in Malaysia that clearly diminishes the fact that Islam is a religion not based on race, ethnic or skin colour. With the marked history of Islam arrival in China as early as 7th century during the Caliph Uthman al Affan reign, Islam covers 10 nationalities and was heralded as the Race in China during the Republic of China formation in 1911. PPIMI and Penang Medical College Islamic Society (PMC ISOC) in collaboration with China Muslim Silaturrahim agree to that sufficient education and facilities access must be pursued to enable the communities develop their potential capabilities to improve their society. Therefore, this mission aims to equip more educational and welfare facilities in the Xian community especially in mosque, kindergartens, schools and orphanages since Xian has a big population of Chinese Muslim..

PPIMI also aims to arrange medical consultations with the help from Yayasan Amal to entitle the population with free and direct health care service and to conduct round table discussion to allow discussions especially on how to reinforce the community with the limited resources available.
