Waqaf An-Nur charity golf delivers RM588k lifeline to dialysis patients
KUALA LUMPUR: The Waqaf An-Nur Clinic (KWAN) 2025 charity golf tournament raised RM588,877 to fund dialysis treatment for underprivileged patients under the KWAN Fund initiative.
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.
