KUALA LUMPUR, June 6 (Bernama) -- Bank Rakyat today launched the 'Kembara Qurban Kemboja 2025' programme by sending a delegation to support the Muslim community in Cambodia in conjunction with the Aidiladha celebration tomorrow. Its deputy chief executive officer, Nor Haimee Zakaria, said a total of 45 cows will be handed over for the 'qurban' (sacrificial ritual) and distributed to Muslim residents of Kampung Trapeng Prinh and Kampung Keh in Cambodia. He said the programme aims to assist underprivileged rural communities while expanding Bank Rakyat's community outreach efforts abroad. 'This qurban initiative, implemented since 2015, has benefited various communities, particularly the 'asnaf' group,' he said in a statement today. He said Bank Rakyat, together with its strategic partners, also distributed basic food aid to 150 families in Kampung Swai Relom, Kandal Province, with each family receiving 10 kilogrammes of rice. The strategic partners for the programme are Maahad Imam Syafi'e (MIS) Kampung Keh, Kampot; Wakaf Endowmen Zakat Khairat and Sedekah Centre (WEZAS) of Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI); Yayasan As-Syafi'e; and Shafi'e Charitable Association. Meanwhile, Nor Haimee said efforts to support local communities continue through the 'Hulurkan Salam Aidiladha' programme from June 7 to 20, involving the distribution of beef and mutton from 241 cows and 159 goats. He said the distribution involves contributions from holders of the Simpanan-i Tabung Qurban Account and Surau Al-Barakah at Menara Kembar Bank Rakyat (MKBR), amounting to over RM1.52 million. 'Bank Rakyat remains committed to enriching local communities, as their strength is a result of the support from members and clients across the country.

Ringgit ends marginally lower on stronger US dollar index
KUALA LUMPUR : The ringgit closed marginally lower against the US dollar today, amid a stronger US Dollar Index (DXY) as traders await US nonfarm payroll (NFP) data tonight, says an analyst. Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Afzanizam Rashid said the DXY gained 0.14% to 98.884 points as the markets await the NFP data tonight, expecting payrolls to increase by 126,000 in May, down from 177,000 in the previous month. 'The ringgit versus the US dollar exchange was around RM4.22 to RM4.23 today,' he said. Compared to yesterday, the ringgit depreciated slightly by 0.09% to RM4.2310. 'This week, the ringgit has performed well as it has gained 0.7%,' he told Bernama. Meanwhile, SPI Asset Management managing partner Stephen Innes said that as US-China tariff tensions subside and foreign capital continues to flow into Malaysian debt and foreign exchange deposits, the ringgit is gaining stronger structural support. 'Foreign investor interest remains strong, suggesting that any ringgit weakness driven by the US dollar is likely to attract buyers swiftly,' he said. At 6pm, the local currency stood at 4.2270/4.2360 against the greenback, easing from yesterday's close of 4.2245/4.2295. At the close, the ringgit traded mostly higher against a basket of major currencies. It rose against the Japanese yen to 2.9324/2.9390 from yesterday's 2.9495/2.9531 and appreciated versus the British pound to 5.7212/5.7334 from 5.7301/5.7369. However, the ringgit eased vis-a-vis the euro to 4.8268/4.8371 from 4.8235/4.8292. The local currency also traded mostly higher against most of its Asean peers. It edged higher versus the Singapore dollar to 3.2862/3.2934 from 3.2881/3.2922, gained against the Thai baht to 12.9599/12.9947 from 12.9925/13.0138 and inched up vis-a-vis the Philippine peso to 7.58/7.60 from 7.59/7.61. However, it fell against the Indonesian rupiah to 259.5/260.2 from 259.3/259.8.
