It took me several years to understand and experienced on the Islamic funeral undertaking in Malaysia, and yet still perfecting the trade whenever possible. I have made things much easier for those who wish to study this subject based on Quran and Hadis and are most welcome to be my apprentice or just continue reading this blog. The School of Islamic Taught that we followed from the beginning to the end that from Imam Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Idris al Shafii, born in Gaza, Palestine in 767M (150H) - died at Fustat, Egypt in 820M(204H). Known as `Mahzab Shafii ' and  today with the entering of modern applications and practices however preservation of the Quran and Hadis still be kept shining and unchanged. May we all have the blessing from ALLAH.

THE ISLAMIC UNDERTAKER'S PROFILE

It was a heart-rending experienced over an RMAF Nuri M23-17 helicopter crashed in Lundu river, Sarawak that took the life of 16 pax including 2 Generals and 6 Aircrews, dated 18 December, 1989 on a light drizzle misty morning. We were the first Search and Rescue Alouette III helicopter to spot the ill-fated Nuri helicopter semi-submerged in the low tide of Lundu river. Then the search party arrived having being radioed back to RMAF Base Kuching.  It was a tragic moment to be on the crash site, helping to bring the dead body bags back to the base, then to the hospital for post-mortem and finally returned to the 'Base Surau' for the body wash, shrouding and the prayers which lasted till late night with bodies filled the coffins sealed and marked, thus awaiting for an airlift to their hometowns on the following day for military burials. I spent my night at the Base Surau and concurrently had a sleepless night perhaps with the fatal scenario spinning in my memory thinking friends of all friends that have died. The probability of the post-obit of my involvement during the search and rescue had coincidently enticed and overturned me to become "The Islamic Undertaker" after my retirement from the air force in 1992.....May God bless them.

Back from Mecca in 1995

In the year 2000 marked my first apprenticeship as a 'funeral undertaker' within my community came into existence. I was placed under the care my 'Master Undertakers' the late Haji Aziz Bin Ahmad and Haji Ariffin Bin Lazim for several years and soon became a sole successor after their death, Al-Fatihah. I am now on my own momentum to gain experience and knowledge, and known having to train the younger generation in "Islamic Funeral Undertaking" that becomes one of my prime task. Besides, I too has to acquire as much Islamic funeral knowledge as to enhance my capability on the subject. My respects goes to the two Islamic religious teachers and funeral advisors, the late Tuan Guru Ustaz Haji Yasin Bin Hassan of Merbok and also the present Tuan Guru Ustaz Haji Ahmad Ziyadi Bin Hassan, late Haji Aziz Bin Ahmad and Haji Ariffin Bin Lazim for their solid foundation given to me on the Islamic Funeral information and Management and not forgetting, The Malaysian Islamic Training Institute(ILIM) and The Islamic Center of Northern University Malaysia(UUM) for their superb course in deliverance on the Islamic funeral subjects.

PROSEDUR BARU PERMIT MENGUBUR

KENYATAAN MEDIA

DATO` JARIAH MOHD SAID

KETUA PENGARAH

JABATAN PENDAFTARAN NEGARA

PROSEDUR BARU DAFTAR KEMATIAN / PERMIT

MENGUBUR BAGI SEMENANJUNG MALAYSIA

29 NOVEMBER 2011 (SELASA)

1. Mulai 1 Disember 2011, Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara (JPN) akan memperkenalkan inovasi baru bagi Dokumen Daftar Kematian / Permit Mengubur di Semenanjung Malaysia sepertimana yang telah diluluskan oleh Menteri Dalam Negeri di bawah Seksyen 39(h) Akta Pendaftaran Kelahiran dan Kematian 1957 (Akta 299).

2. Melalui prosedur baru ini, pemaklum sesuatu kematian boleh melaporkan kematian yang berlaku dimana-mana Balai Polis, Hospital atau Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) dengan menggunakan borang baru Daftar Kematian/Permit Mengubur JPN.LM02 (Pin.1/11). Sebaik sahaja laporan kematian diterima, pemaklum akan diberi satu salinan Daftar Kematian/Permit Mengubur JPN.LM02 (Pin.1/11) yang akan digunakan bagi urusan pengebumian jenazah/mayat dan secara automatiknya bermakna kematian tersebut telah diterima dan didaftarkan di JPN. Pemaklum hanya perlu hadir ke JPN bagi mendapatkan Sijil Kematian (JPN.LM03) sahaja.

3. Kaedah baru ini dapat mengatasi karenah birokrasi kerana pemaklum hanya perlu melaporkan sekali sahaja bagi sesuatu kematian untuk mendapatkan dua dokumen iaitu Permit Mengubur dan Sijil Kematian dalam satu masa. Berbeza dengan prosedur sebelum ini, yang memerlukan pemaklum membuat laporan kematian sebanyak dua kali, iaitu di agensi pengesah kematian bagi mendapatkan Permit Mengubur dan membuat laporan kematian bagi kali kedua di JPN untuk memohon Sijil Kematian.

4. Inovasi yang diperkenalkan oleh JPN ini, dapat meningkatkan keupayaan dan kecekapan JPN mengemaskini Sistem Informasi Rekod Kependudukan Negara melalui perkongsian maklumat diantara JPN dan agensi agensi kerajaan yang lain, khususnya kepada Suruhanjaya Pilihanraya (SPR). Perkongsian maklumat ini secara langsung dapat membantu SPR dalam usaha mengemaskinikan rekod kematian di dalam daftar pemilih secara online melalui Agency Link Up System (ALIS).

Borang JPN. LM02 (Pin.1/11) yang di guna pakai
berkuatkuasa pada 1 Disember, 2011.

Borang lama (Am 138 - Pin.1/78) yang dimansuhkan.
