We are currently looking for persons living in the UK, Muslims or non-Muslims, who have been diagnosed as having schizophrenia. Ideally, the persons should be between 16 and 30 years old and have recently been diagnosed as having schizophrenia, or those who have not been yet been diagnosed as having schizophrenia but have symptoms like "hearing voices" and "having imaginary friends".

Ustaz Trimizi Zainal has continued to extend PISANG services to various countries. In Ramadhan this year, he held screening clinics in Melbourne, Australia. The objective of the screening was to diagnose if anyone has been affected by jinn disturbances or sihr (black magic). At every clinic, treatment is also given to those who have been affected by the the problems.

Pisang has been active in Islamic Outreach, especially in teaching Islam to Muslim converts who live away from Muslim community. There is a great demand for our service but our effort is limited by our financial resources. Please donate generously to help us deliver more services.

Melayu UK and PISANG (Professional Islamic Support and Nurture Group) have jointly put effort in the Love Sufiah initiative with encouraging positive results. In addition to the Love Sufiah initiative, PISANG also held mobile clinics for screening and treatment of sihir and jinn disturbances in Bicester, Manchester (twice), Birmingham and Aberdeen. We apologise for the cancellation of the London clinic and also for not being able to meet requests from other areas.

Despite the strong support Melayu UK and PISANG have received, we are still facing a big deficit on the Love Sufiah initiative. Please donate generously for this good cause and help us balance our account.

Kami amat kesal dengan kenyataan Mufti Perlis, Dr. Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin, kerana membuat kenyataan melulu yang tidak sepatutnya dikeluarkan oleh seorang mufti.

Harian Metro keluaran hari Isnin 3 Mei 2008 melapurkan Dr Mohd Asri memperlekehkan kemampuan Professional Islamic Support and Nurture Group (PISANG) dengan menggunakan ungkapan “dua tiga” hari berada di United Kingdom (UK). Kami ingin menegaskan bahawa PISANG bekerjasama dengan Melayu UK yang sudah lama bertapak di UK. PISANG bukanlah badan yang ditubuhkan di Malaysia tetapi ia adalah satu pertubuhan yang sekarang di dalam proses pendaftaran di UK. Saya, selaku Pengerusi PISANG telah menetap di UK selama 32 tahun. Oleh itu kami lebih mengetahui keadaan sebenar dan mampu bergerak secara professional di UK berbanding dengan pengalaman Dr Mohd Asri.

Dr Mohd Asri juga menyatakan yang beliau lebih berminat untuk mendengar apa yang dikatakan oleh persatuan Islam yang sudah lama bertapak di UK. Kami mencabar Dr Mohd Asri supaya menyatakan nama persatuan Islam yang mengambil berat hal Sufiah Yusof dan apa kenyataan serta tindakan yang mereka ambil. Dr Mohd Asri sepatutnya berusaha memperbaiki diri sendiri sebelum menyalahkan orang lain.

Three decades ago Islamic banking does not exist and banking without interest was confined to theoretical ideas on paper. The world, including the majority of Muslims, was sceptical that Islamic banking was feasible. The proponents of Islamic banking then had a tough time answering criticisms from the opponents. Now Islamic banking has become a reality and big conventional banks e.g. HSBC and Lloyds TSB sell Islamic banking products alongside their conventional products. The voice of criticism is no longer heard.
