Corporate bodies urged to join PPZ-MAIWP for zakat distribution
Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs), Datuk Dr Mohd Na'im Mokhtar, said that the collaboration between PPZ-MAIWP and corporate bodies would streamline zakat distribution and ensure that the contributions reach their rightful recipients.
'I call on other companies to follow FGV Holdings Berhad's example in partnering with PPZ-MAIWP, to ensure that zakat funds genuinely reach those in need - which is the most important aspect,' he told reporters after officiating the PPZ-MAIWP and FGV Ziarah Kasih programme, here, today.
Mohd Na'im, representing PPZ-MAIWP, received business zakat amounting to RM3.45 million for 2024, from the FGV Group, for the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, in addition to donations worth RM125,000 distributed to 500 asnaf around Taman Wahyu 2.
Also present were FGV chairman, Tan Sri Rastam Mohd Isa; PPZ-MAIWP chairman, Datuk Seri Amrin Awaluddin; and FGV Group chief executive officer, Fakhrunniam Othman. - Bernama

Business couple pleads not guilty to RM3.6 million false claim charges
Published on: Thursday, August 14, 2025 Published on: Thu, Aug 14, 2025 By: Cynthia D Baga Text Size: Anita and Ang, both wearing face masks, leaving the court. KOTA KINABALU: A husband-and-wife business duo have claimed trial to charges of abetting a company director in submitting false claims amounting to more than RM3.6 million to the Department of Industrial Development and Research (DIDR). Anita Mohamed, 54, and Ang Ka Fat @ Kenny, 57, pleaded not guilty to their respective charges when brought before Sessions Court Judge Jason Juga on Thursday. Both face two separate charges each, as well as one joint charge, over the alleged offences. The charges were framed under Section 28(1)(c) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009, read together with Section 18 of the same Act, and punishable under Section 24(2). Upon conviction, the provision carries a maximum 20-year prison sentence and a fine of at least five times the value of the false particulars, or RM10,000, whichever is higher. The documents were allegedly submitted to an administrative assistant at the DIDR office between 2022 and 2023. The court set Sept 23 for pre-trial case management and released both on bail, with counsel Azhier Farhan Arisin representing them. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Chin Hin Group Property to divest ‘obsolete' commercial vehicle division for RM74m
MAIN Board-listed developer Chin Hin Group Property Bhd (CHGP) has sealed a share sale agreement (SSA) with N&K Resources (M) Sdn Bhd for the disposal of four subsidiaries involved in the group's commercial vehicles and bodyworks segment for RM74 mil cash. The four subsidiaries – Boon Koon Vehicles Industries Sdn Bhd, BKCV Sdn Bhd, Boon Koon Fleet Management Sdn Bhd and BK Fleet Management Sdn Bhd – collectively undertake CHGP's commercial vehicles and bodyworks operations. Upon completion of the transaction, CHGP will fully exit this segment with financial results of the four companies to be de-consolidated from the group's accounts. The disposal is expected to generate a divestment gain of approximately RM862,000. The commercial vehicles division is a legacy business that predates the entry of CHGP's current substantial shareholder in 2017. It does not form part of the Chin Hin Group ecosystem which is anchored around building materials, construction engineering, property development and home & living solutions. As such, the divestment exercise removes a non-core, non-strategic segment, hence allowing CHGP to sharpen its operational focus. 'The RM74 mil cash proceeds will provide us with stronger financial flexibility to accelerate our property development plan,' commented at CHGP's group CEO (Property Development Division) Chang Tze Yoong. 'These funds will be deployed not only for strategic landbank acquisitions in high-growth locations such as Klang Valley but also to support our on-going projects and other growth opportunities.' Added Chang: 'At the same time, this transaction will strengthen our cash position, improve liquidity and enhance the overall financial resilience of the group.' With the disposal, CHGP will focus exclusively on residential property development by delivering high-quality housing that meets market needs. This strategic shift aligns with the group's long-term vision of delivering sustainable value through projects in prime locations, supported by prudent financial management and strong governance practices. At the close of today's market trading, CHGP was down 2 sen or 1.85% to RM1.06 with 48,600 shares traded, thus valuing the company at RM1.4 bil. – Aug 14, 2025
