MAIK Provides Additional Allocation Of RM2 Million To YIK This Year
KOTA BHARU, April 30 (Bernama) -- The Kelantan Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIK) has channelled an additional RM2 million in financial assistance to the Kelantan Islamic Foundation (YIK) this year to support the state's Islamic education agenda. The Tengku Temenggong of Kelantan, Tengku Tan Sri Mohamad Rizam Tengku Abdul Aziz, who is MAIK president, said the additional allocation was provided in response to financial constraints faced by YIK, amid economic uncertainty and rising inflation affecting its ability to deliver quality services to students. He said MAIK had allocated RM2.5 million to YIK, covering, among other things, teachers' emoluments and related activities. 'MAIK has agreed to increase the financial allocation to YIK by another RM2 million, bringing the total assistance to RM4.5 million for this year,' he said at an event with YIK Maahad Tahfiz students here today. He said the additional financial assistance was to cover food and beverage expenses at Maahad Tahfiz YIK and Maahad Sains Tok Guru. A total of RM29 million in aid allocations have been channelled to YIK since 2014, he said, adding that MAIK also allocated funds for building repairs and the purchase of furniture for schools and hostels, with over RM18 million spent for the purpose since 2016. At the event, MAIK received contribution in the form of 'zakat wakalah' from Pelaburan Hartanah Berhad, to be channelled to eligible and needy YIK students. In another development, Tengku Mohamad Rizam said MAIK would channel appropriate assistance to victims involved in the fire in Kampung Kijang two days ago. A total of 31 victims from eight families were made homeless after eight houses were destroyed in the fire.
