Selangor to distribute livestock worth RM6 mil for Aidiladha under state contribution programme
SHAH ALAM: The Selangor state government has allocated RM6 million to provide 700 cows and 1,000 goats for sacrificial rites (ibadah korban) to mosques and suraus throughout the state in conjunction with the upcoming Aidiladha celebration next month.
Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said the livestock will be distributed to eligible recipients, including senior state government officials, mosques, and local community groups.
"The Selangor State Sacrificial Contribution Programme (PSKNS) is a state government initiative managed by the Selangor Agricultural Development Corporation (PKPS), now in its seventh consecutive year.
"It is funded through the Selangor State-Owned Companies, Statutory Bodies and Government Agencies Contribution Trust Fund (TASASBA)," he said.
"PKPS, as the implementing agency, will oversee all procurement, administrative, and financial aspects of the programme under the close supervision of the PSKNS Steering Committee, chaired by Selangor Infrastructure and Agriculture Exco, Datuk Izham Hashim," he added.
Amiruddin's remarks were delivered by the Selangor State Secretary, Datuk Dr Ahmad Fadzli Ahmad Tajuddin, during the Launch and Voucher Handover Ceremony of the PSKNS held at Dewan Raja Muda Musa, yesterday.
Meanwhile, the PSKNS organising body was told to ensure that the cows and goats donated meet the proper religious criteria for a valid sacrificial offering.
Amiruddin stated that each animal donated must comply with the conditions stipulated under Islamic law, including being free from defects, healthy, and having reached the appropriate age of maturity.
"We want to avoid last-minute issues, such as the animals failing to meet the necessary requirements, which would force the organisers to return the livestock to the supplier.
"I urge all parties, especially mosque and surau committees, to carry out early inspections to ensure that all aspects of the sacrificial process proceed smoothly," he added.

90-year-old home going strong
Chow greets one of the residents at the Silver Jubilee Home for the Aged. CM praises Penang folk, establishment committee for caring for the aged PENANG government has allocated RM50,000 to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the Silver Jubilee Home for the Aged in Sungai Dua. Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow, who is the home's board chairman, thanked the committee, donors, volunteers and supporters for their continued dedication, noting that their contributions had been vital to the well-being and relevance of the home in this modern era. 'This home has been a sanctuary for the abandoned, the lonely, the poor and the elderly with no family to turn to. 'And what makes it even more remarkable is that all of this care, from food and lodging to medical support, is provided completely free of charge. 'Penangites always have a strong spirit of looking out for one another, and this home is a living, breathing example of that,' he said, reports Buletin Mutiara. Some of the food stalls set up at the food fair at Sungai Dua. — Courtesy photos The celebration also featured a charity food fair, drawing hundreds of supporters with a wide variety of food and drinks. Residents enjoyed the lively atmosphere, sharing moments of happiness with the public. Chow said such events were important not only to raise funds but also to strengthen the home's connection with the community. 'It brings people together. It raises awareness. And it reminds us of the responsibility we all share to care for our seniors,' Chow said at the food fair held in Sungai Dua. Responding to growing public curiosity about the administration of the home, Chow said the state government did not operate the facility solely. He said the 90-year-old home, founded under the colonial government, has traditionally had the chief minister as chairman, a role focused on guidance rather than direct control. Also present at the event were home trustee Datuk Seri Chong Eng and state social development, welfare, and non-Islamic religious affairs committee chairman Lim Siew Khim.

Netizens divided over viral video of cow poop dumping in the river
THE arrival of Aidiladha means many things, and among them, the delicious beef curry to feed the hungry masses after the knife work is done. Recently, however, the holy celebration was blemished by a viral video where people could be seen dumping cow poop into the river. A great number of netizens condemned the action, stating that it was pollution. Some even compared it to the pig poop dumping in the river which gained traction in the past election. According to netizen @apanakdikato who posted the video, these people were fools as the polluted water will affect the campers or anyone who were attempting to bathe there. Alahai bodohnya, buang taik dlm sungai.. mentaliti 3rd class Ni kang ada orang nak mandi la, ada campsite la tak ke naya. Ibadah qurban dh jd mcm pesta — Abang aji🪵 (@apanakdikato) June 7, 2025 Towards his comment, @ZZammani87535 said he was likely a man from the city who only knows how to eat. 'Surely you are not the type to slaughter and clean the cow,' he said. Another netizen pointed out that the villagers usually wash the cow's stomach in a place where the water is flowing. He further added that the green substance in the video was not poop, but remnants within the stomach which was only grass. @eb1rah replied that if their ancestors have been doing it since a long time ago, like robbing a bank, does it make it right to do so? @noraakira countered that the people know not to bathe in the river during the Aidiladha celebration as they know the villagers will be washing the stomachs. On another note, @kamaruddin_che suggested the villagers dig a big hole and dispose of the contents there. Then there was the religious @xlyxxsly claiming that river water is 'air mutlak,' which is holy. 'Even though there is impurity in the river, if the amount of river water exceeds 270 liters, then the river water is not considered impure, as long as the color, smell and taste do not change. Brother, walk 10 meters forward, the impurity is no longer visible,' he said. 'If this is the case, then don't make it an issue when people poop or throw pig feces into the river,' pointed out @tikus_poly. —June 6, 2025 Main image: @apanakdikato
