RI students in Malaysia get jobs

JAMBI: Forty-seven students from the Institute of Islamic
Studies (IAIN) have received part-time jobs while participating
in a two-month apprenticeship program in Malaysia.

"They seem to be performing well in the apprenticeship
program. Many Malaysians offered them part-time jobs for 1,000
ringgit a month," IAIN rector, Sulaiman Abdullah, told Antara
yesterday.

Some of them also have been asked to teach children to recite
the Koran, Sulaiman said.

He pointed out that the part-time jobs were not detracting
from the students' ability to complete the apprenticeship
program.

The chairman of Jambi's Indonesian Ulemas Council (MUI),
Ahmad, said the apprenticeship program was aimed at encouraging
the students to play an active role in strengthening the spirit
of brotherhood among Moslems in the region and introducing
Jambi's culture.
