We extend our heartiest congratulations to Ms. Nurasma’ Shamsuddin, our academic staff from the Faculty of Computing and Informatics (FCI) together with her team members: Munirah Mustaffa from Merlimau Polytechnic and Naimah Ghazali from Ibrahim Sultan Polytechnic joined for winning the gold medal at the Pertandingan Inovasi Pensyarah TVET Peringkat Kebangsaan (PERISA) 2023, recently.

More than 300 participants from various categories participated in this event that was held at Segamat 2 Community College from 4 until 5 October 2023. Their project titled “IHoT(Islamic Hotel Transformations)” won the medal under the Perdagangan, Hospitaliti, Seni & Rekabentuk category and the team received the certificate of award during the closing ceremony.

The project emphasises on a centralized information network that was first developed to channel important information about Shariah Compliant Hotels. It contains information on the list of hotels in Malaysia that have halal certification for the food premises scheme issued by the Islamic Development Department of Malaysia (JAKIM) and the recognition of Muslim Friendly Hotels by the Islamic Tourisme Center (ITC). 

IHoT provides guidance on design & space, services in hotel premises, employee organisation, and manners in services characterised by Islam. It is suitable as a reference for every level of society, especially hoteliers, educators and students.

Congratulations!
