myUAE-PRO: Updates

The committee has met once and will be meeting again soon. Here are some interim updates:

Memberships: To date, 117 Malaysians have registered as members. To register, please click here. To be a member, you must be in UAE or have been offered with a job in UAE and planning to come soon. AJK member, Puan Putri Khadijah is responsible for memberships

Website: We will continue to use http://www.malaysian-uae.com as the official myUAE-PRO website. A feature for an e-forum focusing on work related issues is under testing and will be made live soon

Information: Being compiled are information which are deemed useful for new and existing Malaysians in UAE. In the first phase, the following areas are covered; Visa and Immigration Matters, Schools, Salary scales, General directory (Hospitals, Places of worships, Supermarkets etc), Road and Transport rules and procedures, accomodation rental rates, and a compiled set of Frequently Asked Questions plus answers. Our target is to made these available for members (please note, for members only - so as to encourage
Malaysians to register as members ) by end June

Social/ Sports activities: Weekly Friday Soccer at the Etisalat academy, 5pm - 6pm. Affandy is the Friday Soccer coordinator. A poll conducted to gauge level of interest for a bowling tournament has indicated good responce. More details will be announced soon. AJK Sdr Ajim and Miss Zoe are leading this charge. Since the first Malaysians-meet-Malaysians session at the Mirdiff Uptown was deemed beneficial by new comers who were there - another one will be organised soon. This is also timely as there have been many new arrivals in the last few weeks.

Professional development activity: The AJK is planning to organize a 'Sembang2 Pro'
monthly forum where invited guests will speak about their areas of expertise or chosen topics. We have prominent names in mind, and God willing and subject to their acceptance, will be a very meaningful activity for all of us. More details will be anoounced later.

In the mean time, please continue to participate in the yahoogroup e-forum. Already the exchanges of messages have increased to above 1,000 per month since the activation of myUAE-PRO.
