ADMIRAL ZHENG HE by NUR FARAHIN A’SKIAH
From past centuries
before us, there were many
individuals who stood out
amongst crowds, radiating with
impeccable characteristics.
These individuals proved to be
leaders in their own unique
way. These models, such as
Hitler, Winston Churchill, Tun
Dr. Mahathir Muhammad,
Imam Bukhari, etc had their
own way of leadership and
distinct characteristics that
made their mark in history.
The leader chosen for today is
seen to be one that is not as
famous in the west as it is in
other parts of the east and yet
his voyages were considered
more prominent when
compared to more renowned
western navigators such as
Christopher Columbus,
Vasco de Gama, and
Ferdinand Magellan. He led
the world’s largest fleet in 7
epic voyages to the west. He
is Admiral Zheng He or Cheng
Ho. He is fondly named Ma he
when he was born into a devout
muslim family in 1371. He
lived at Hedai village of
Kunyang in Jinning district of
Yunnan province. This is
where he learned skills and art
of building boats. He also
observed valuable lessons in
sailing and shipping.
As an adult, he served
Zhu Di, fourth son of Emperor
Zhu Yuanzhan. From there, his
career grew due to the good
qualities shown. The peak of
his career was when Emperor
Yongle appointed him to lead
grand voyages to manifest the
wealth and power of the
‘Middle Kingdom’. It was the
bigger message he spread
through his mission was of a
noble one and the participation
that partook in those voyages
around the world including
Malacca that made him leading
navigator during that time.
As a renowned admiral,
he possessed many good
qualities as a leader. He
managed his relationships well
with his immediate superiors.
In addition to that he also took
new challenges head on. He
had access to places offering
highly skilled labor and thus
giving him the opportunity in
selecting his crew by forming a
team of close senior associates
to support him. Furthermore, he
has great communication skills.
These features mentioned
above very much coincides
with the traits theory used in
Public Administration. Traits
theory is among the earliest
approaches to leadership
which focuses on personal
characteristics of the leader
themselves. This theory
emphasizes on consistent traits
of a leader. Some of these
characteristics are evident in
Admiral Zheng He, such as
honesty and sincerity. He was
also expert in what he did;
mainly his abilities and skills
in shipping had assisted him
immensely in his voyages.
“Legendary Admiral
Zeng He travelled far
and wide even before
the well-known
Navigator,
Christopus Columbus
did,”

Kesimpulan
Sponsorship on Financial Aid for Needy
Political Science Students
Public Relations Bureau of Political Science Students’
Association (POSSA) has taken initiative to launch a
financial aid for needy students, particularly Political
Science students of International Islamic University of
Malaysia beginning of this year. The objective of this
program is to assist their living cost and the money for
educational purposes. On that circumstance, we came
out with a survey on political science students’ average
spending on meals for daily, weekly and monthly
(Figure 1) and both of their parents’ income (Figure 2)
on 100 respondents.
From the survey, the data that we found out those 28 out
of 100 respondents’ mother has 1500 and below income
while 20 out of 100 respondents’ mother has no income.
There are 15 out of 100 respondents’ father has 1500
and below income while 19 out of 100 respondents’
father has no income. In order to help the students that
in need, on 21st February 2014, POSSA has went to the
Office of Deputy Chief Minister (1) State Government
of Penang to propose the idea to YB Dato’ Hj Mohd
Rashid Bin Zainon. The visit has gone well. The
proposal has accepted and he has approved his
endowment on funding the financial aid.
Prepared by: Fatimah noor
An-Nawawi's 40 Hadith
Hadith no: 36
Narrated: Abu Huraira that the Prophet said:
"Whosoever removes a worldly grief from a believer,
Allah will remove from him one of the griefs of
the Day of Judgment. Whosoever alleviates [the lot
of] a needy person, Allah will alleviate [his lot] in
this world and the next. Whosoever shields a
Muslim, Allah will shield him in this world and the
next. Allah will aid a servant [of His] so long as
the servant aids his brother. Whosoever follows a
path to seek knowledge therein, Allah will make
easy for him a path to Paradise. No people gather
together in one of the houses of Allah, reciting
the Book of Allah and studying it among
themselves, without tranquility descending upon
them, mercy enveloping them, the angels
surrounding them, and Allah making mention of
them amongst those who are with Him. Whosoever
is slowed down by his actions will not be hastened
forward by his lineage." related by Muslim in these
words.

Façade
I wear my weirdness like a thick second skin
So afraid of people getting in and close to me
and seeing all that I am
and realizing all that I am not.
And then I have to apologize for not
Being the person they thought I was.
Coming out like a fraud.
And disappointing people as if it were a talent.
Such lies I created.
So many friends I’ve disappointed
This life has been nothing but expectation and misery.
Can I fix everything with a simple apology?
If only it were that easy
People tell me to change; to be the person they thought me to be.
Unhappy with the product they see
before them and no refund guaranteed.
I’ve tried to improve
I’ve tried and tried
With this fake smile on my face and my ignorant eyes
Nothing seems right.
Everyday has been a failed effort in being better.
Should I give up? Please someone give me an answer.
All eyes on me, pressure too heavy on my heart.
It’s time to take off my mask and break my façade.
