Sarawak launches digital system to streamline homeless support at TTG Kuching
Fatimah speaks to reporters while Tan (left) and Hilmy (right) look on. – Photo by Aileen Yap KUCHING (July 11): Sarawak has rolled out the Integrated Social Management System (ISMS) at the newly launched Kuching Temporary Transit Centre (TTG), enabling multi-agency collaboration to provide swift, coordinated, and dignified support for the city's homeless population. State Women, Childhood and Community Wellbeing Development Minister, Dato Sri Fatimah Abdullah, said ISMS digitally stores each individual's background, medical records, and support history, allowing seamless data sharing and intervention across departments. 'This system allows for real-time profiling and data sharing, from health screenings and referrals to job-matching and welfare assistance,' she told reporters after launching the TTG Kuching today. She describing it as a 'seamless and dignified' solution to a complex social issue. Developed to strengthen the TTG model in Sarawak, ISMS ensures that every homeless individual admitted to the centre is screened, referred for hospital treatment if needed, and matched with suitable assistance, including mental health support or referrals to the National Anti-Drug Agency (AADK) in cases involving substance abuse. Fatimah said ISMS allows agencies such as the Social Welfare Department, Health Department, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and enforcement bodies to coordinate effectively, with full documentation and tracking for each case. 'With ISMS, we can ensure that no one falls through the cracks. 'Every person has a profile, and every intervention is recorded,' she said. She emphasised that TTG Kuching is more than just a temporary shelter – it serves as a structured reintegration platform aimed at helping individuals return to society with dignity and independence. 'Residents at the centre will undergo health screenings by the Health Department, receive counselling, and be assessed for their interests and skills. 'Those deemed fit will be matched with training and employment opportunities,' she said. Fatimah added that for the elderly and persons with disabilities (PwD), the Social Welfare Department would step in to secure financial aid and support services tailored to their needs. 'What we want is for them to eventually leave TTG and live independently and with dignity,' she said.

Is Your Business Secure? ISO 27001 in Qatar Explained
Let's be honest—when was the last time you thought about your company's data security beyond updating your antivirus software? If you're running a business in Qatar, especially one handling customer data, financial records, or internal systems, the question isn't if you'll face a security threat—it's when . From data breaches and phishing scams to insider threats and regulatory pressures, information security is no longer just an IT department concern. It's a business survival issue. That's where ISO 27001 comes in—not as a buzzword, but as a practical, globally recognized framework to manage your information security risks. ISO 27001 is an international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). In simple terms, it's a set of best practices that help organizations identify, manage, and reduce risks to information assets—whether that's customer data, contracts, or operational systems. The great part? It's not just for IT companies. Whether you're in finance, logistics, healthcare, or even construction—if you handle sensitive data, ISO 27001 is relevant to you. Qatar is advancing fast in digital transformation, smart city initiatives, and cloud-based infrastructure. But with that growth comes higher exposure to cyber risks. Government entities and enterprises alike are now requiring stronger data protection from their partners and vendors. In fact, many tenders—especially in finance, oil & gas, and public services—now favor or require ISO 27001-certified vendors. That means having the certification can directly influence your eligibility for major contracts. Sure, compliance is important. But ISO 27001 does more than help you tick boxes. It: Builds trust with customers and stakeholders Reduces the likelihood and impact of security breaches Protects intellectual property and sensitive records Ensures business continuity in case of incidents Shows leadership commitment to data security In a market like Qatar, where reputation matters, being proactive about information security could be the edge that sets you apart. Implementing ISO 27001 isn't about adding red tape. It's about creating a structured, risk-based system that fits your organization. The process usually involves: Assessing existing gaps Identifying information security risks Setting up policies, controls, and response plans Training employees Conducting internal audits Preparing for external certification It might sound complex, but with the right support, it's completely manageable—even for small and medium-sized businesses. Data is your most valuable business asset—and in today's world, it's also your most vulnerable. ISO 27001 isn't just a certification; it's a commitment to secure growth, trust, and long-term stability. If your business in Qatar is serious about protecting its information and reputation, pursuing ISO 27001 certification might just be the smartest move you make this year. TIME BUSINESS NEWS
