Faculty of Hotel and Tourism Management January - April 2015 PROGRAM Oleh: Noraida Abd Karim KEPAH & HaRUM MISI PASCA BANJIR: PROJEK KG SHUKOR - JAN 6, 2015 B anjir besar yang melanda Terengganu tahun 2014 baru baru ini, merupakan ujian yang sangat besar kepada seluruh rakyat Terengganu. Pelbagai bentuk bantuan dari wang ringgit, bahan makanan dan tenaga dikerah bagi membantu masyarakat setempat. Ini termasuklah, Misi Pasca Banjir yang melibatkan staf UiTM Services Sdn. Bhd (UTSSB) yang tersalah lokasi bantuan, sehingga terjumpa sebuah sekolah kampung di Mukim Pasir Raja, dengan jarak 96 km dari bandar Dungun. Keadaan sekolah berkenaan agak teruk disebabkan banjir lumpur dengan kerosakan hampir semua peralatan sekolah. Keesokan harinya, 6 Jan 2015, sekali lagi UTSSB mengumpulkan tenaga keringat untuk bersama-sama menjayakan misi bantuan ini, dengan kerjasama dari pensyarah Fakulti Pengurusan Hotel dan Pelancongan (KePAH). K ehadiran ramai sukarelawan pada hari tersebut sedikit sebanyak melegakan pihak sekolah, memandangkan sesi persekolahan hanya berbaki seminggu sahaja lagi. Turut hadir sama adalah pelbagai NGO dan agensi luar yang bergabung tenaga membersih, mengangkat barang dan mengeringkan peralatan sekolah yang masih boleh digunapakai. Kami meninggalkan kawasan sekolah hampir jam 5 petang dengan perasaan hiba dan sedih bercampur baur. Syukur, anak-anak kita masih bersekolah di sekolah yang selesa, bagaimanakah adik adik Kampung Shukur bakal menempuh sesi persekolahan nanti?. MISI PASCA BANJIR 2: PROJEK SELIMUT UNTUK MANIK URAI - JAN 20, 2015 K isah Manik Urai dilanda banjir teruk di dada surat khabar, televisiyen, dan segenap talian maya memanggil saya untuk membuat sesuatu untuk komuniti di sana. Kenderaan bertali arus biar pun terpaksa meredah selut yang agak tebal. Mereka tenggelam dalam kelu sambil merakam kesan bah besar yang tidak pernah disaksi sebelum ini.’ Orang tua yang meniti usia lebih 80 tahun di Kampung Chatang memberitahu tidak pernah melihat lagi bah besar seperti yang berlaku baru-baru ini. “Bah merah yang dikatakan paling besar dalam sejarah pun tidak sebesar bah yang berlaku kali ini. Dahulu bah merah air lambat surut, sekarang banjir surut lebih cepat,” kata Zakaria Ibrahim, 57. I ni adalah beberapa ayat yang sungguh menyayat hati untuk kita yang tidak merasa keadaan sebenar bah di Manik Urai. Rumahnya ranap dilanggar bah, manakala di malam dan awal pagi terpaksa berdepan dengan suhu sejuk anggaran dari 19 – 22°c. Atas keprihatinan saudara kita di sana, kami mengumpulkan selimut dan baju sejuk terpakai dalam masa tiga hari untuk dibawa bekalan buat saudara di Manik Urai. Kerjasama ini melibatkan sumbangan orang ramai dan kerjasama bersama Pertubuhan Ikatan Kekeluargaan Rumpun Nusantara Malaysia (HaRUM). Semoga usaha kecil ini dapat membantu mereka yang memerlukan. Sesungguhnya, musibah yang melanda pantai timur tahun lepas telah membuka ruang dan peluang saudara sesama Islam kembali berukhwah. 1 MAJLIS MAKAN MALAM DAN PENYERAHAN SUMBANGAN KEPADA TABUNG BENCANA BANJIR, FPHP UiTM TERENGGANU MISI PASCA BANJIR 2: PROJEK BACK-2-SCHOOL SEKOLAH KG NYIUR JAN 18, 2015 S ekolah Rendah Kampung Nyiur yang terletak di Tebing Tembah, Paka merupakan sebuah sekolah pendidikan khas yang menempatkan pelajar-pelajar istimewa tahap 1 & 2.

According to research, running slowly for 5 minutes a day can make your heart healthier than those who do not run. This proves that exercise is important as part of a healthy lifestyle. Unfortunately, there is a lack of awareness on the importance of exercise in life. There are still many people who love giving various excuses for not working out like having no time, no interest in exercising, no friend to exercise with and lack of will power. Don’t jeopardize your health and give so many excuses. Your health is priceless compared to money. Did you know that exercise can make you feel great about yourself? When exercising, physical health, mental, internal and external health will be energized. As a result, your appearance will look great and your confidence level can be enhanced. Exercise also helps in reducing stress. This is because endorphin and serotonin hormones are secreted during exercise. These hormones can make you feel happy and relaxed. Exercises can be done anywhere either in the gym, at home or even outdoors. Many activities can be done with friends or even alone. Among the exercises that you can do like walking, riding a bike, go jogging, sit ups, push ups, squat, etc. Ensure that exercise is done with proper technique to avoid injury. To avoid injury to the muscles, exercise should be started with a warm-up and concluded with a cool down. The best exercise is in the early morning after you wake up and in the evening after work. But there is no harm if you want to work out lightly at night before sleeping. The truth is that there’s no reliable evidence to suggest that calories are burned more efficiently at certain times of day. But the time of day can influence how you feel when exercising. The most important thing, experts say, is to choose a time of day you can stick with, so that exercise becomes a routine which leads to habit. Remember, every workout count. References: D. Lee, R.R.

ACCESSIBILE TOURISM By: Sulaiha Mohd Isa & Zatul Iffah Mohd Fuza A ccessible tourism is about making it easy or stressfree for all individuals to enjoy tourism experiences. The term accessibility refers to how easy it is for everybody to independently approach, enters and uses building, outdoor areas and other facilities without the need for special arrangements. Providing information on accessibility and improving access benefits wide range of people who wants to travel, but who may find it difficult (Westcott, 2004). In such situation, tourism is used as a tool to achieve barrierfree society that could enhance people with disabilities to live independently in the society (Anonymous, 2011). Hence, accessible tourism enables people with access requirements, including mobility, vision, hearing and cognitive dimensions of access, to function independently and with equity and dignity through the delivery of universally designed tourism products, services and environments. These include those travelling with children in prams, people with physical disabilities and senior citizens (Darcy & Dickson, 2009). Examples of accessible tourism at various tourism destinations in Malaysia Melaka You can start exercising slowly and gradually. If you start an exercise routine quickly, you will easily lose patience and spirit causing boredom to continue. Try starting your exercise slowly and increase your exercise levels according to your suitability. Thus, you will feel challenged to further motivate yourself to continue to exercise. To increase the motivation so that you continue to exercise, you may invite friends or your spouse to join you. Find people who have the same goal and perception of fitness. Don’t worry if there is no one to accompany you to exercise. You can still work out while listening to your favorite music. No matter wherever you are, make the workout as your daily routine. Start your day with exercise and lead to a healthier life to be a better you. Petaling Jaya, Selangor 6 References: Westcott, J. (2004).

Almost every organizations and foodservice operators in various industries such as retailing, tourism, hotels and entertainment are adopting Loyalty Programs. Just look at retailing industry. Several product categories have this Loyalty Programs. Being a Starbucks member can entitle you to enjoy a free drink with every 10th purchases. While in Jusco malls, you can collect points being AEON member and redeem it for cash vouchers or attractive rewards. The Watsons Loyalty Program provides special discounts for members as part of their initiative to attract people to join. Although in Loyalty Program Management literatures, it’s agreed that Loyalty Programs are facing their maturity stage in developed countries liked United States and United Kingdom, but it is still in the introductory phases in Malaysia. The first Loyalty Program in the hotel industry is Golden Circle, introduced by Shangri-la Hotels & Resorts in the year 2010. They offered three (3) categories or tiers with various benefits (Golden Circle Gold, Jade and Diamond membership). The higher the tier, the more benefits you will gain as members. For instance, being a Golden Circle Diamond member, guest deserve and will receive the full commitment and dedication in everything that hotel do. Shangri-la hotels will ensure that services will be personalized and exceptionally rewarding. Among the benefits that guest will enjoy our priority check-in and checkout, guaranteed room availability for reservations made 48 hours in advance, guaranteed bed type availability, early check-in at 8am & 6pm late checkout, personal preference, including bed and pillow type, complimentary sit-pressing, complimentary selected resort facilities, choice of 3 welcome amenities, complimentary breakfast at the Café Restaurant and 24-hour concierge services for non-staying guests. THE EVOLUTION OF LOYALTY PROGRAMS By: Jazira Anuar customer loyalty. Organizations aware that retaining a loyal customer is crucial compared to employ a new one. This is because loyal customers are very powerful in recommending their experiences to others. Imagine one unhappy customer posted bad reviews about his dining experiences at a famous restaurant through Facebook. The frustration expressed by this unhappy customer over the services provided, food freshness and promotions will surely affect the restaurant image and reputation. Considering the power of social media nowadays, it will make it even worse. Negative stories will be disseminated to many peoples with just a single click. Thus, management has to really take into accounts all this issue that can lead to the success or failure of their Loyalty Programs.

(2013).Retrieved from http://www.airasiabig.com/my/en/assets/press. In the airline industry, BIG is among the current loyalty programs available. Introduced by Air Asia in September 2013, BIG acknowledge travelers to accumulate points, which they can redeem for free flights, baggage and Hot Seats later on. Additionally, BIG has also partnered with local giants, DBS Bank and StarHub, where guests can convert their points to BIG points for redemption. Reviewing all these Loyalty Programs characteristics, they are all having the same goal that is to encourage repeat purchases and 7 The Emergence of Food Truck in Malaysia: Trend and Challenges By: Anderson Ngelambong, FPHP, UiTM Pulau Pinang F Popular Food Trucks in Klang Valley rom traditional to western cuisine, food operators in Malaysia are increasingly utilizing trucks to sell their products. This so called “food truck” or sometimes known as “food on wheels” are gradually gaining acceptance especially among urban communities such as in Klang Valley. The idea here is the food trucks will go to wherever their potential customers are located. Thus, the customers do not have to face the traffic jammed to have their meals. The time saving and hassle free food experience is important especially for those white collar workers whose time is limited. In addition, the food price is relatively more cheaper than a typical restaurant because of lower operation costs. Social media also contributes to the popularity of the food trucks. Most of them are taking advantages of social media such as Facebook and Twitter to reach their existing and potential customers. Through this channel, they are able to inform their current location and latest promotion that are available. Although the food trucks provide a quick and trendy eating option, some people are concerned about their level of cleanliness. Similar to other food and beverage premises, the food trucks should be subjected to strict food safety and sanitation rules. The issue here is how do the local authority implement such rules and regulations on mobile food operators? The risks of foodborne illness among customers are serious as the rules and regulations pertaining to the food truck industry remain unclear. There are several food poisoning cases has been reported in the local news last year. There is a possibility that similar cases may raise further with the rapid expansion of the food truck industry. Therefore, it is crucial that local authority formulate a proper guideline for food truck operators in terms of issues related to food safety, hygiene and sanitation. Finally, the food truck operators must be responsible in ensuring their profit is not in the expense of a customer’s life.

But I can tell you that no matter how many times I chance upon him, I will never get used to it. I will always try to look cool in front of him, pretending like I am not thrilled; like nothing, but inside I am jumping like a kid in a candy store. May be this is because I have been idolizing him since I was a kid, or the fact that he has one of the most recognized faces of any chefs in Asia. The first time I saw him, it was in one of the gastronomic seminar hosted by one of the top private college in Damansara 12 years ago. I was so fascinated by the way he communicated with his audience. He is a ‘machine’ when he delivers on stage. He is the real deal; Unscripted and unstoppable. I realized that I must share this with my students. I must bring him to UiTM, to Dungun. So I invited him, twice. “Azuan u look the same as you were 7 years ago u know that right?” said chef Wan. “Cheffy, I’m flattered, but I don’t look the same as I was 7 years ago, that’s faizal and yes, he is as young as I were back then” and that was how we break the formality that night and laughed while we were walking to the van after fetching him from the arrival hall in Sultan Mahmud Airport in Kuala Terengganu. We stopped at Primula Hotel Kuala Terengganu for dinner. It was a well-arranged feast by the hotel. We were invited by the general manager as soon as he heard the arrival Malaysia Number One Chef to Terengganu. A guest in his hotel! answered. He is absolutely right..!!! Funny to think it that way though, but I needed to relax. (Did I not mentioned, UiTM Terengganu has its own hotel and the services plus food are great!) Despite our concerns, dinner went well. Chef Wan was actually a very pleasant man. Nothing bad happened. He is just a simple guy who eats Mee Goreng Mamak at night and drinks more than 1 cup of coffee every meal. A humble man for a person of great prominence. As we left Hotel Primula, a question was asked by the great chef. “Will there be Nasi Dagang tomorrow for breakfast, Azuan.? I purposely skipped that one because you told me there will be Nasi Dagang tomorrow.” At that moment, if anyone were to call diva, I would slapped that person on the spot. Throughout the visit, that was the only request that came out from the celebrated chef. During our journey to Dungun, I took the opportunity to get acquainted with my idol. I couldn’t recall any single dull moment. A: Have u ever felt tired chef? C: I sleep like a baby every night Azuan. So, I must have been a very tired man. I sleep at least 7 hours everyday. It’s important for my health. I’m an old man. But I will make sure I will have a great morning every day. I wake up at 5. I’ll make sure I won’t miss my morning walk, and that is after my subuh prayer. I love watching the sun goes up. I’ve been taught to appreciate my morning. And I think everyone should be a morning person. It has to do with the “rezeki.” But really, at night, I feel tired. I’m a human. Not a robot. I am tired of working. Sometimes I over-worked myself. A: Have you ever lost it? C: Wow, is this going to be “Les Miserable of Chef Wan” Azuan? A: NO… (and we laughed) The minute I stepped into the hotel lobby, I started to have second thoughts about our decision to bring him to this hotel. This is Chef Wan we are talking about. He disapproved in-flight nasi lemak by MAS; and woken up everyone in the country with the caption “NASI LEMAK TELANJANG” as national news headlines. He disagreed with Nyonya Curry Noodle by The Mandarin Oriental. Not that I am disagreeing with him. It was a bad curry noodle. Trust me I have tried it! He dared the Republic of Indonesia to substantiate their claim on our favorite teatime chow - the Popiah aka Malaysian spring rolls. I wonder at times; what is with the Indonesians and their claimants. It started with Mee Bandung, to Mee Jawa and now the Popiah! Back to Chef Wan. Now, what if he showed disapproval over his meal tonight? What if he mocked me for the hotel’s services tonight if it doesn’t meet his standard? What if we are the raison d’être to every bad thing happens that night? “I really hope we did the right decision bringing him here faizal” I expressed my nervousness to Faizal. His answer was consoling, “You worry too much En. Azuan. This is the reason we bring him here at the first place.”“Why?” I asked. “So that he won’t have time to scrutinize our own hotel’s food” Faizal 9 POISON BY PLASTIC: THE SAFETY CONCERN OF THE FOOD BY: Noorazlin Ramli, Nuur Izzahton Auni Mohd Filus & Mas Amira Khali N owadays, plastic is very common and useful packaging in food and beverage industry. Plastic also have pros and cons in using it. Is it scaremongering or is it truth about the food poisoning caused by chemical from plastic? The prolific use of plastic bags in our daily life has also led to environmental hazards as plastic bags are not biodegradable. When hot food is packed in plastic, chemical exchange between plastic and food is maximised by high temperature and the nature of the food. Certain plastic bags may cause chemical filtration into the food. Those chemicals include styrene and Bisphenol-A (BPA) which can cause cancer, heart diseases and reproductive problems. Toxins could migrate from the plastic to the substances they hold. The most common food interactions are the migration of low molecular weight substances such as stabilisers, plasticisers, antioxidants and monomers from plastic packing materials. Water in plastic containers is also unfit for human consumption because the containers are usually exposed to direct sunlight when they are loaded onto trucks. The compounds on which most concerns have focused are Bisphenol-A (BPA), which is used in tough polycarbonate products and epoxy resins that line tin cans, and a group of plastic softeners called phthalates. Research has shown that these compounds can leach from plastics into the food and drinks that we consumed. Dari muka 12.

Hotels can be classified based on their location which includes city hotel, suburban, motel, airport hotel, resort, forest hotel, floatel, boatel and rotel. Queen Elizabeth Cruise is considered as floatel which mean a hotel establishment on luxury liners or ship. In cruise ships, rooms are smaller and all furniture is fixed down. The world largest cruise ships are Allure of The Seas, Oasis of The Seas, Norwegian Epic, Freedom of The Seas, Liberty of The Seas, Independence of The Seas and followed by Queen Mary (Queen Elizabeth). The first invented cruise ship was by the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company in 1822 with routes between England and the Iberian Peninsula. The Queen Elizabeth cruise ship is operated by the Cunard Line. It is the second largest cruise ship to be constructed for Cunard. It’s capable of carrying up to 2,092 passengers. The first cruise ship operated by Cunard was Queen Victoria, followed by Queen Mary 2. Queen Elizabeth is the newest luxury liner, named in 2010 by Her Majesty the Queen. Recalling the rich heritage of the first Cunarder to bear the name, her elegance and modern features have won her many accolades and made her a firm favourite with her passengers. Instead of capturing the public’s imagination with water slides and high-tech nightclubs, Cunard cashes in on its impressive heritage, a sense of occasion and old-fashioned pursuits like ballroom-dancing, lawn bowls or afternoon tea in the Garden Lounge.

Tarikh ini dipilih sempena tarikh ulangtahun kelahiran Faliza dan semestinya ia merupakan tarikh istimewa yang akan sentiasa diingati oleh kedua pasangan ini. Majlis akad nikah kedua mempelai ini telah disempurnakan sendiri oleh ayahanda kesayangan Faliza iaitu Tuan Haji Mahamed Ali Bin Sarun di kediaman mereka di Seksyen 20, Shah Alam. Mengimbas detik perkenalan mereka, Fazli merupakan senior kepada Faliza semasa mereka bersama-sama menuntut di Universiti Teknologi MARA, Shah Alam dan juga di Universiti Utara Malaysia, Sintok. Walaupun jarak antara mereka sangat dekat, tetapi ironinya mereka tidak pernah bertemu sehinggalah mereka menjadi rakan sekerja di UiTM Terengganu. Tidak pernah terlintas di hati keduanya, perkenalan sebagai rakan sekerja sejak tahun 2006 berubah menjadi jodoh akhirnya. Namun benarlah seperti dikata, jodoh itu sememangnya rahsia Allah. Bibit – bibit percintaan mereka bermula sewaktu kedua pasangan ini mewakili Fakulti Pengurusan Hotel dan Pelancongan, UiTM (Terengganu) dalam Pertandingan MySkills Malaysia 2011. Cinta mula berputik di hati Fazli tatkala terdengar kemerduan suara Faliza mengalunkan ayat-ayat suci AlQuran sambil menitiskan airmata. Sepanjang pertandingan itu, Fazli mula mengenali hati budi Faliza dengan lebih dekat dan baginya Faliza adalah seorang wanita yang tegas namun mempunyai hati yang lembut. Menyingkap detik-detik percintaan mereka, Fazli tertarik dengan sikap Faliza yang sudi menerima dirinya seadanya. Selain itu, sikap Faliza yang sentiasa positif dan sering memberi kata-kata perangsang kepadanya mengukuhkan lagi perasaan cinta terhadapnya. Antara ayat yang paling terkesan di hati Fazli ialah “one step a day biarpun kita merangkak”. Bagi Faliza pula, kesetiaan Fazli dalam menanti dirinya dan sikap Fazli yang menerima dirinya dan keluarga seadanya telah menambat hati untuk menyambut salam cinta yang luhur. Menyusur majlis nan bahagia, majlis perkahwinan berlangsung penuh sempurna dengan cuaca yang cukup indah buat para tetamu jemputan yang hadir. Meriah suasana yang tercipta turut merakam memori yang bakal menjadi kenangan hingga ke akhir hayat buat Fazli dan Faliza. Bertemakan warna pilihan ‘soft pink’ untuk upacara akad nikah serta diserikan lagi dengan majlis berinai di malam pernikahan. Manakala, warna ‘dusty pink’ dipilih sebagai tema pelengkap di majlis resepsi sebelah pengantin perempuan dan warna hijau pucuk pisang bagi majlis resepsi sebelah pengantin lelaki. Kedua-dua mempelai begitu berseri-seri dan serasi digandingkan bersama di pelamin nan indah dilengkapi dengan kehadiran saudara mara dan sahabat handai yang turut hadir untuk sama-sama berkongsi kegembiraan. Dengan ini sempurna sudah majlis yang cukup meriah dan bermakna bagi keduanya. Semoga ikatan yang suci ini berkekalan hingga ke syurga serta dikurniakan zuriat yang soleh dan solehah sebagai pelengkap kebahagiaan mereka. Sambungan di muka 10. Sekembali daripada Pertandingan MySkills, dengan bantuan rakan sekerja mereka iaitu Encik Nazaruddin dan Puan Rohayu, Fazli telah memberanikan diri menyuarakan isi hatinya terhadap Faliza melalui laman sosial ‘Facebook’. Balasan yang diterima daripada Faliza “biarlah jodoh dan takdir yang menentukan, sekiranya kau untuk aku maka aku akan jadi milikmu, sekiranya tidak, janganlah kita putuskan persahabatan kita”. Selepas melalui pelbagai rintangan dan dugaan dalam percintaan selama dua tahun, akhirnya mereka telah bersepakat untuk melangsungkan tali pertunangan. Persahabatan dan percintaan makin rapi anyamannya, malah makin indah dan penuh dengan sinar kebahagiaan. Lantas tersingkap kelebihan dan keistimewaan masing-masing dalam saling melengkapi antara satu sama lain. 12
