Gotong-royong and Halal Slaughter Practice in Feast Held by Seni Silat Cekak Malaysia

Abstract

Seni Silat Cekak Malaysia Association (PSSCM) is a martial art organisation that functions not only to develop and expand the Malay silat but also to educate members and families to practise Malay-Muslims way of life. The main purpose of this paper is to clarify and explain the method of developing human capital among members of the PSSCM through the practice of volunteering, gotong-royong, slaughtering, processing and preparing halal food and feast. Observation was done using case studies, interviews and personal acknowledgement of members who involved directly in these practices. All these practices were carried out in celebrating holy days in Islam and also official ceremonies organised by the association at state as well as national level. The methods and approaches applied were deemed to inculcate positive manners such as volunteering, leadership, teamwork and strengthening the relationship among the members and society. Apart from that, members could also interact and communicate effectively and be independent in the efforts to develop the economy and improve the management of the association. In the context of the slaughter practice and the preparation of halal food, self-development could be more nourished in implementing the requirements of the religion and culture of the Malay-Muslim. Eventually, the concept of teamwork in form of gotong-royong that is part of the culture can once more be practised and sustained for future generation
