Pm Wants Maiwp To Coordinate Zakat Aid With Other Agencies
The Federal Territories Islamic Religious Council (MAIWP) needs to coordinate the distribution of zakat aid with other agencies to ensure that the funds reach those truly in need.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said if there is no coordination, some families will end up receiving help several times while other families will not receive any assistance at all.
“One of MAIWP’s tasks is to coordinate with other agencies, otherwise one family will get four times (of aid), and another family will not receive any assistance at all... hence, I hope this will be managed properly.
“The minister, deputy minister and chairperson must not only ensure these activities continue, but that every sen from the people returns to the people and cannot taken for personal use,” he said when officiating the 2024 MAIWP Carnival at Taman Tasik Titiwangsa today.
Anwar also wants MAIWP to exercise good governance and stop all unnecessary expenses to ensure that the agency becomes a symbol of ummah pride.
To further improve the agency’s performance and identify any weaknesses in zakat management, the prime minister has given MAIWP a month to submit a detailed report and propose new measures.
According to Anwar, it can serve as a model for agencies in other states.
“Our responsibility (as) the next generation is to ensure that zakat affairs are managed carefully.
“This is why I said in Penang (previously), how can we accept the fact that we collect so much zakat money but there are still the poor who don’t have enough to eat, who cannot provide uniforms for their schoolgoing children, still not taken care of.
“I would like to thank MAIWP and the Kuala Lumpur City Hall for helping the zakat distribution process with other agencies well,” he said.
