INTRODUCTION
History
When STEADFAST Club was established in 1991, some Sabahan and Sarawakian students were invited to join their motivational programmes for school children in Sabah and Sarawak. The programmes were held successfully. They managed to reach-out more than 25 schools. They received very positive testimonials from the teachers, parents, and students after the programmes.
Then, the students planned to organize more follow-up programmes in the future. They proposed to have an official club as a platform for Sabahan and Sarawakian students to continue organizing da’wah activities in these two states. The university authority agreed with the proposal with conditions that the activities should focus on da’wah activities and the membership is open to all students regardless of their states and countries.
Establishment of MISI 1 and MISI 2
In 1995, MISI 1 and MISI 2 clubs were established for this purpose. MISI 1 is a secretariat that concentrates on humanitarian outreaches in Sabah while MISI 2 serves the same function in Sarawak. MISI stands for Malaysian Unity Secretariat. The clubs were under the supervision of Training Unit, Student Affairs Division (today known as STADD). However, both clubs turned out to become merely state-based clubs with less da’wah-based activities. Some reviews were made to put back MISI on the right track.
MISI Club: New Era
In 2004, the university authority transferred the supervision of MISI 1 and MISI 2 to Community Service Unit, today known as Centre of Community Engagement and Services (CENSERVE). Both clubs were combined with the new image as MISI Club IIUM. In 2010, the management of CENSERVE decided to not to use the name of Malaysian Unity Secretariat. Since then, the club was known as MISI Club IIUM until today.
