Puan Putri Saniah Megat Abdul Rahman

The need to reform and reposition

education to bring it more closely to theneeds of the economy becomesnecessary if internationalcompetitiveness is to be maintained, theHonourable Deputy Prime Minister saidin his speech at the PPM Gala Dinner.

This includes self-management,individual responsibility, interpersonalskills, how to teach and learn fromothers. Every society now needsindividuals who seek to contribute topositive living experiences forthemselves, their families, theircommunities and the nation. More andmore people believe that they can makea difference by learning throughreflecting upon everyday experienceand by combining their livedexperiences in formal and informal

learning situations. It now seems thatinstutionalised learning whichstresses in the individual and learningfor its own sake, incapable of beingflexible, innovative and ready toovercome ingrained assumptions andattitudes to remove the barriers offears constructed out of ignorance.There is now a need to promotelearning on humanistic values that isrespectful of cultural, social,economic and political differences.

The DPM went on to stress thathuman development is about accessto means and resources to enableindividuals through personal andcollective actions to improve theirlives and transform their societieswhich brings the need for the lifelonglearning agenda.

On the Excellent Library Awards,he said that this is indeed a verygood move as it will not onlyprovide an incentive andmotivation to improve but also asense of healthy competitivenessamong libraries. The winner willalso provide a benchmark ormodel for other libraries inimproving themselves.

At the AGM on 9 April 2005 held at

Hotel Istana, Shahar Banun Jaafar wasselected the Librarian of the Year.Shahar Banun is presently employed atthe International Islamic University asAcademic Fellow. Prior to that, she wasthe Director General of the NationalLibrary. She was the President of theLibrarians Association of Malaysia(PPM) in 1997-99. She is also active inPERTIWI and has served as Secretaryof the Islamic Women’s Association.She is currently Secretary-General ofthe Malaysian Historical Society.

The criteria for selection is to look for aprofessional librarian who is in activeservice in a library or someone who isan active member of the libraryassociation in the country or involvedin library associations at regional level.Members of CONSAL Executive Boardare automatically disqualified. Besidesconsidering their performance on the

Librarian of the Year Award 2005‘Cik Shahar Banun Jaafar’

job over the last two years, moreweightage was given to candidates’activities in promoting librarianshipoutside their official capacity. Thepanel also examined their contributionin form of publications andpresentations at national andinternational levels over the last threeyears.

As Librarian of the Year 2005, ShaharBanun received a trophy and

certificate of commendation, lifemembership of PPM, free attendance ofPPM seminars for one year and apackage to the next CONSAL. She willbe nominated for the coveted CONSALLibrarian of the Year award to beannounced at the next CONSALConference in Manila in March 2006.

Regrettably, there was no recipient forthe Promising Librarian Award for thisyear, not so much we lack good librariansbut it was because the candidates didnot fulfill all the criteria. In particular,candidates should appreciate that theaward is given by PPM and thereforeshould demonstrate close affiliation tothe Association by at least continuouslyactivating membership for the last 5years. It is also hoped that nominationsfor both awards in the future will fulfillall the criteria. It is also hoped that moremembers would be nominated the nexttime.

Two Special Mention Awards, 2005

The Panel was very impressed with the othertwo finalists, one of which, Pustaka NegeriSarawak, was a very close finalist to PSZ.The Panel recommends that for this year,two Special Mention Awards be made, inview of special circumstances. Such awards

need not be made in the future, shouldcircumstance do not warrant them.

Special Mention Award (Excellence &Creativity in Promotional Activities):

Pustaka Negeri SarawakThe very young Pustaka (launched in2000) is set in over 70 acres of abeautifully landscaped location.Pustaka’s promotional activities areexcellent and are extremely creative,implemented by a team of young, well-trained and enthusiastic staff, who arebacked by a good collection and rangeof library services.

Ithas only one professional staff anda very small number of support staff.It is located in a somewhat crampedarea, and has limited funding.Nevertheless, it has a good lendingphilosophy. It can count onenthusiastic academic affiliationswith ICT skills to mount a range oflibrary services. Its collection,though small, is sound. All activitiesare promoted to target teaching andlearning clientele. The Panelrecommended that a SpecialMention Award for Resourcefulnessbe made to the ELTC ResourceCentre.Award: RM1,000 and Certificate.

Ekspedisi ini unik sedikitmemandangkan peserta telahmemilih untuk memandu terus keKuala Tahan. Ia bermula daripadang letak kereta PerpustakaanNegara Malaysia kira-kira jam 9.00pagi. Peserta telah singgah sebentardi perkarangan Masjid Jerantut untukmenikmati sarapan pagi yang telahdibawa bersama. Perjalananditeruskan menuju ke Kuala Tahanmelalui jalan-jalan kecil berliku dikawasan Felda. Perjalanan yangagak mencabar itu telah mengambilmasa lebih dari satu jam. Pesertatelah selamat sampai di Kuala Tahanpada kira-kira jam 1.30 petang.

Acara pertama yang dilakukan adalahuntuk melawat Kelah Sanctuary danLata Berkoh. Ia dimulakan pada kira-kira jam 3.00 petang pada hari yangsama. Aktiviti yang mengambilmasa kira-kira tiga jam itu telahmembawa peserta menaiki bot-botkecil yang hanya boleh dimuatkanoleh empat orang meredah arus derasuntuk ke destinasi. Kebetulan pulahujan lebat telah turun pada awal pagihari itu. Air sungai begitu dalamdengan arus yang deras.

Pada sebelah malamnya pula selepasmakan malam, peserta telah dibawauntuk Jungle Walk di kaki BukitTeresek dan seterusnya ke saltlickuntuk mencuba nasib mengintaihaiwan liar yang mungkin keluar padawaktu malam. Walau bagimanapun

dengan bilangan pelancong yangberibu orang pada musim cutipanjang itu, tidak mungkin haiwan-haiwan liar itu berada dipersekitaran , apa lagi untukmenonjolkan diri. Yang kelihatanhanyalah cicak dan seranga-seranga kecil sebagaipengganti…..

Pada keesokan harinya pesertatelah dibawa untuk meniti Canopy

masa yang diberikan adalah terlalusingkat dan tidak puas. Dalamperjalanan pulang peserta telahdibawa singgah di sebuahperkampungan suku kaum Batek.Betapa mudahnya kehidupan sukuini, tidak materialistik dan sekadarmemerlukan perkara yang asassahaja, mereka juga telahmembuat beberapa demonstrasimengenai aktiviti-aktiviti harianmereka. Sungguh mengkagumkanbagaimana mereka bolehmenghidupkan api dengan mudahhanya dengan menggunakansebilah rotan dan sepotong kayu.

Pada sebelah malamnya majlisBBQ pula telah diadakan.Makanan yang disediakan olehpihak hotel agak begitu lavishseolah-olah untuk 50 orang tetamu.Mungkin kerana terlalu penat,sedikit saja makanan yang dapatdijamah.

Majlis diakhiri dengan sesi karaokesehingga jam 11.00 malam. Sesuaidengan purata usia pesertaekspedisi, hanya lagu-lagu Inggerisevergreen 60an dan 70an saja yangkedengaran.

Peserta telah berlepas pulang padakeesokan harinya kira-kira jam11.00 pagi.

Saranan yang serupatelah juga diterima dari ahli-ahli semasaAGM sebelum ini

Pekeliling mengenai garispanduan telahdihantar kepada ahli-ahli melalui listservPPM. Sebanyak 27 penyertaan telahditerima. Walau bagaimanapun panelpenilai yang terdiri daripada mereka yangpakar dibidang grafik merasakan kesemua

penyertaan yang diterima adalahtidak sesuai untuk diterima-pakaisebagai logo PPM yang baru.

Walau bagimanapun terdapatbeberapa ciptaan yang berpotensiuntuk digunapakai tetapi beberapaperubahan patut dibuat.

Majlis PPM yang bermesyuaratselepas AGM yang lalu telahbersetuju supaya logo yang sediaada itu dipakai untuk sementarawaktu. Keputusan selanjutnya akandibuat selepas ini.
