Respect and affection to teachers
Respect and affection to the teachers who have educated us and made us become successful people. After 30 years of leaving school, my fellow Junior-High School (SMP) Adabiah and I held a reunion on 5 April 2014 at our former school in Padang, West Sumatera. Full of sweet memories.
Below is a picture of me with my mathematics teacher, Pak Nazaruddin, in 1981 – 1984 as a junior high school student. May Allah SWT give the benediction to the health of Pak Nazaruddin. May Allah protect him.

Good intention in scientific research
Praise to God, it’s been more than 20 years since I have been in scientific research. Many research results have been produced in the form of scientific publications. However, it should be asked whether the result of the study is useful or not? I need to do a self-introspection.
According to the teachings of Islam that I believe in, for the research to give the benefit, the study should begin with good intention. The intention of doing research is the same as the search for knowledge. We are seeking the truth. The best purpose is to achieve a noble character and beneficial to humanity. We’re taught that we do not intend to seek knowledge for the pursuit of wealth and popularity. Or just to show off, as we saw in the scientific world, such as the h-index, impact factor of publications, and so on. Allah SWT does not bless this.
The 8th SEATUC meeting and symposium
The 8th SEATUC Symposium has taken place from 4th – 5th March 2014 at M-Suites Hotel, Johor Bahru, Malaysia.
