Waqaf An-Nur charity golf delivers RM588k lifeline to dialysis patients
Organised in celebration of Waqaf An-Nur Corporation Bhd's 25th anniversary, the event strategically gathered support for over 20 Waqaf An-Nur clinics operating nationwide.
KWAN Charity Golf committee chairman, Datuk Mohamad Farid Salim, highlighted that the tournament became a platform to strengthen ties between sponsors, donors, and a community deeply invested in the welfare of the ummah.
"At the heart of this effort is gratitude, for the support, time, and presence of everyone, including our generous sponsors," Farid said at the closing ceremony held recently.
Tournament prizes were contributed entirely by Waqaf An-Nur to honour the spirit and generosity of its participants.
"Regardless of amount, every contribution stems from the same spirit, to support those in need," he added.
KPJ Healthcare Bhd led with RM200,000, followed by Johor Corporation and Larkin Property Sentral Bhd, each contributing RM50,000. More than 10 other companies participated as well.
Beyond fundraising, Farid noted the tournament's alignment with sustainability through Waqaf An-Nur's commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles, especially community inclusivity.
"This reflects our dedication to expand collaboration across corporate, government, and society, reinforcing the role of waqf as a pillar of ummah welfare," he said.
Proceeds will fully support dialysis treatments for asnaf and underserved patients.
Waqaf An-Nur launched a mobile clinic at Sultanah Aminah Hospital (HSA) in Johor Baru. Operating 8pm to midnight, Wednesday to Sunday, the clinic addresses Level 5 cases with basic medication and medical leave certificates—alleviating congestion in the Emergency and Trauma Department.
Waqaf An-Nur also supports locum services in the Green Zone at HSA and Sultan Ismail Hospital (HSI), working with the Johor government, KPJ, and the State Health Department.
The Mobile Clinic was officially launched by Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi on June 17.
Appointed as a Special Nazir by the Johor Islamic Religious Council (MAINJ), Waqaf An-Nur encourages waqf participation through programmes such as Hibah Lil Waqaf and investments in the PMB An-Nur Waqf Income Fund.

Life Sciences on the Chinese Mainland – Vital signs: Diagnosing trends in the life sciences real estate market on the Chinese mainland
HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 1 August 2025 - Cushman & Wakefield, a leading global real estate services firm, today released its Life Sciences on the Chinese Mainland – Vital signs: Diagnosing trends in the life sciences real estate market on the Chinese mainland report. It is based on in-depth interview surveys we conducted on professionals active in the life sciences sector on the Chinese mainland. The life sciences industry on the Chinese mainland is undergoing a transformative phase, driven by progressive policies, groundbreaking innovations, the emergence of influential life sciences companies, and strategic regional development. This report delves into the latest trends shaping the sector. Policy Landscape – National and Local Catalysts Reforms enacted in 2024-2025 have significantly accelerated sector development. Nationally, China relaxed restrictions on foreign investment in gene and cell therapy and allowed the establishment of wholly foreign-owned hospitals in key cities. Regulatory incentives – such as data protection and marketing exclusivity – have improved market access for innovative drugs. Locally, cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Suzhou are rolling out targeted subsidies, fast-track approvals, and ecosystem-building programmes that directly benefit biotech development. Recent national policy initiatives on the Chinese mainland Industry Innovation and Company Growth Chinese life sciences companies are moving beyond generic drug manufacturing toward innovative therapies. Firms like Akeso, BeiGene, Gracell, and Legend Biotech are now global players, leading in CAR-T, bispecific antibodies, and AI-assisted R&D. These companies are not only commercialising cutting-edge treatments but also attracting international investment and licensing agreements, reinforcing the Chinese mainland's global relevance in life sciences. Real Estate Development and Regional Hubs Innovation hubs such as Suzhou BioBAY, Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park (Shanghai), and the Bioisland Innovation Centre (Guangdong) are central to regional clustering. These hubs offer end-to-end support, including shared labs, venture capital access, GMP-compliant facilities, and proximity to academic and clinical networks. The rise of second-tier innovation cities like Chengdu and Ningbo further expands growth corridors. The 'R&D + Manufacturing + Service' ecosystem Source: Cushman & Wakefield Research Landlord Perspectives – Evolving Real Estate Models Real estate developers and landlords are adapting to sector-specific requirements through asset-light models, flexible leasing, and high-specification lab and production space. Tier-1 cities face saturation, but central and western regions exhibit healthy demand. Developers are incorporating advanced sustainability and compliance features to meet growing regulatory and ESG expectations, particularly in GMP and cleanroom environments. Digitalisation, environmental policies, and differentiated tenant strategies are shaping performance. Operators now focus on integrated ecosystems with platforms that link tenants to R&D services, policy benefits, and technology partners. Occupier Perspectives – Growth, Innovation, and Challenges Life sciences occupiers are navigating regulatory reform, rising compliance demands, and intensified market competition. Many are localising production and R&D, leveraging regional subsidies, and investing in AI-powered innovation platforms. Occupiers seek flexibility, proximity to talent and infrastructure, and co-located R&D and manufacturing to support accelerated innovation and operational agility. In real estate, demand is strongest for GMP-certified labs, modular production facilities, and shared innovation platforms. Occupiers emphasise location advantages, sustainability certifications (e.g., LEED, WELL), and integration into clusters that enable faster time-to-market. Tony Su, Managing Director, National Head of Industrial & Logistics Property Services, China, said, 'Life sciences business parks on the Chinese mainland demonstrated clear regional differentiation, highlighting opportunities for strategic positioning. While Tier-1 cities saw more moderate performance due to broader macroeconomic factors and abundant supply, core cities in central and western regions recorded healthy occupancy rates, underpinned by strong industrial clustering and increasingly sophisticated ecosystems – contributing to steady growth in asset value.' Johnathan Wei, President, Project & Occupier Services, China, said, 'Several interviewed life sciences companies on the Chinese mainland achieved revenue growth supported by innovative products and favourable policy tailwinds. While overall growth remained modest for many, a select group reported strong performance, highlighting opportunities for differentiation'. Andrew Chan, Managing Director, Head of Valuation & Advisory Services, Greater China, said,' Looking ahead to 2025 and beyond, growth opportunities lie in AI-driven drug discovery, personalised medicine, advanced therapeutics (CGT, RNA), and green-certified facilities. Government policies continue to support innovation through fast-track approvals, rare disease funding, and subsidies aligned with dual-carbon and ESG goals'. Shaun Brodie, Head of Research Content, Greater China, 'Life sciences real estate is shifting from generic parks to specialised, digitally enabled campuses with high compliance and flexibility. Investment strategies increasingly emphasise long-term partnerships, collaborative operating models, and digital infrastructure. Both landlords and occupiers express cautious optimism, with strategic differentiation and regional targeting seen as keys to unlocking future value'. Please click here to download the full report.

Published on: Thursday, July 24, 2025 Published on: Thu, Jul 24, 2025 By: Bernama Text Size: Fahmi (second right) and others observe the injury on Vicky's arm. - fotoBERNAMA PENAMPANG: Tabung Kasih@Hawana's has brought much-needed cheer and meaningful support to two media practitioners in Sabah who are battling health challenges. One of the recipients, Sabah State Information Department photographer Vicky Sylvester Matanjang, 52, said he was moved by the kind gesture of Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil, who personally visited his home in Kampung Hungab here today to deliver the contribution. 'I feel appreciated, even though I'm just a photographer. Today is my first day back at work, but I'm only doing light duties as I haven't fully recovered,' said Vicky, who sustained serious injuries in a road accident in March. He said the initiative also reflected the Madani government's concern for the welfare of those facing hardship, especially media practitioners nationwide. Also present were Communications Ministry secretary-general Datuk Mohamad Fauzi Md Isa; Bernama chief executive officer Datin Paduka Nur-ul Afida Kamaludin; Sabah State Information Department director Jainisah Mohd Noor; and Sabah Journalists Association (SJA) president Mariah Doksil. Sabah Media journalist Hafizul Andie Zulkarnain, 35, who is still recovering from surgery for a bowel complication and ruptured appendix in June, expressed his heartfelt thanks after receiving the contribution from Nur-ul Afida at his residence in Sepanggar, Kota Kinabalu, last Tuesday. 'Thank you for taking the time to visit and hand over the contribution. It will definitely help with my treatment expenses during my recovery,' he said. Meanwhile, Nur-ul Afida said media associations in Sabah could reach out to the secretariat of Tabung Kasih@Hawana, managed by Bernama, to provide information on media practitioners facing health issues or hardships. 'I would like to seek the cooperation of media associations in Sabah to share information with us so that we can assist our fellow media practitioners in need,' she said. Meanwhile, Mariah expressed hope that the SJA could serve as a key platform for coordinating aid to media practitioners in need. 'We will suggest the names of those eligible to receive donations and assist in providing the necessary information,' she said. The Tabung Kasih@Hawana initiative reflects the spirit of Malaysia Madani by upholding values of compassion and care, particularly for media practitioners who have long contributed to society but are now facing life or health challenges. The fund was established as a Communications Ministry initiative and implemented through Bernama to support serving and retired journalists and other media practitioners who are facing hardships or financial difficulties. To date, a total of 463 media practitioners nationwide have benefited from the initiative. * 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?
