KUCHING, December 4, 2021 - A total of 685 prospective Hajj Pilgrims from Sarawak for the 1443H/2022M Hajj Season are currently undergoing the Online Basic Hajj Course (KAH) from 19 November 2021 until 20 February 2022 simultaneously throughout Malaysia.

In conjunction with his official working visit to the agencies under JPM; YB Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs), Datuk Ahmad Marzuk Shaary spent some time joining the live broadcast via the YouTube channel with the course participants consisting of prospective Hajj of the state.

“Organizing courses in this new norm may be a challenge for participants, especially in terms of providing course equipment at home and there may also be a problem of internet access, especially those living in rural areas. However, in line with technological advances and also in order to comply with standard operating procedures, this method is seen as more relevant and safe while the participants can also interact directly throughout the course,” he said. He also handed over the Teaching Credential Card (e-Katam) to the Homeland Hajj Trainers (PEKTA) in a brief ceremony held at the Islamic Information Center Hall, Kuching.
