CIC VISION'S TO GIVE BIRTH TO FUTURE PM

After more than a decade in the early childhood industry, the founder of Children Islamic Centre or better known as CIC, Hjh Qutren Nada has brought CIC into a new phase. As CIC has established itself as a leading Muslim Early Childhood Education, now at its 2nd phase, she is introducing its leadership programs. As a start, the programs will be offered at selected branches of CICs.

Describing the value of such program, Hjh Qutren says, “developing leaders is not a cheap job. It needs participations from all parties in various aspects. As you know, not many Muslims especially Malays involve seriously in this field. Many choose teaching as their profession because they do not have other options. Some are very good but they are not supported by good team. It is such a big challenge to develop good team in Malay community. Anyway, I disagree with the view that the Chinese and Indians are better as I believe that the true teachings of Islam can produce man with perfect qualities. But Chinese and Indians dominate because they have enough supports from staffs and customers. At CIC we continuously train the staffs. It needs lot of resources including money and time. We have our quality control and KPIs. Some are not ready. They can come and go but we will continue to progress”.

Hjh Qutren congratulates parents who are committed to raising their children well. But this lady the founder of CIC and owner of other businesses with more than 40 employees, advises parents especially mothers to open their interest on many angles not only limited to their family affairs. “I have seen in many leaders, their mothers were great. Like Maryam the Prophet Isa’s mother, she was great. She was different from other ladies in term of beliefs, thoughts and actions. Fatimah Azzahra, the Kawthar of the Prophet had great mother, Khadijah Binti Khuwailid. Even most of the great leaders in this world, whether they are leaders in politics or leaders in sciences, they have great mothers who rear them. The mother can be real mother or foster mother. Like Imam Khomeini he had strong character, he was brought up by his aunt who was strong”, she said.

She sums up that with high love and high rules, children are very self-reliant and cheerful. They can cope well with stress and achievement oriented. I believed Tun Mahathir was brought up in this way.

With low love, high rules, children are moody, unhappy, often unfriendly and vulnerable to stress. With high love, low rules children are impulsive-aggressive, rebellious, domineering and low achievers. With low love, low rules, children have psychological problems, are immature and uninvolved.
