PPZ-MAIWP, Gloria Jean's Coffees Collaborate To Promote Contemporary Lifestyle And Encourage Zakat Payment
KUALA LUMPUR, July 23 (Bernama) -- The Federal Territories Islamic Religious Council Zakat Collection Centre (PPZ-MAIWP) is collaborating with international coffee brand Gloria Jean's Coffees to bring a fresh touch to the 'Jom Potong 2025' campaign. Carrying the tagline 'Coffee makes your day better, but zakat makes your life better,' the campaign aims to promote a contemporary lifestyle while encouraging Muslims to consistently fulfil their zakat obligations through the Monthly Zakat Deduction Scheme (Skim PZB). PPZ-MAIWP chairman Datuk Sri Amrin Awaluddin said the collaboration with Gloria Jean's Coffees was not only due to the brand's prominence, but also because of the values it represented, such as comfort, community and quality lifestyle – all of which aligned with PPZ-MAIWP's inclusive approach to zakat outreach. 'What is even more meaningful is that Gloria Jean's Coffees is also a zakat contributor to PPZ-MAIWP under Perbadanan Nasional Berhad (Pernas). This collaboration is not merely symbolic but also significant in terms of institutional responsibility,' he said during the launch of the campaign here today. Also present were PPZ-MAIWP chief executive officer Datuk Haji Abdul Hakim Amir Osman, Pernas Franchise Services chief officer Azizam Ramli and Gloria Jean's Coffees chief executive officer Zafrul Azman Mohamed Azraai. Meanwhile, Azizam, representing Pernas CEO Datuk Nor Azam M. Taib, said the collaboration reflected the company's ongoing commitment to promoting awareness of zakat in a practical and holistic manner. 'As the agency spearheading the national franchise industry, we believe that business blessings come when wealth is shared and channelled back to society. 'Gloria Jean's Coffees, as a wholly owned brand under Pernas, embodies Muslim-friendly values and halal quality, making it an ideal strategic partner to deliver the campaign message of connecting modern lifestyle with spiritual practices like consistent zakat payments,' he said. In a statement, PPZ-MAIWP said it aimed to collect RM140 million through the Jom Potong 2025 campaign with Gloria Jean's Coffees, compared to RM130.35 million recorded last year.

PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Territories Islamic Religious Council-Zakat Collection Centre (PPZ-MAIWP) has contributed RM247,760 in wakalah funds to Putrajaya Hospital for the purchase of essential medical equipment. The donation, sourced from zakat contributors, will support over 30 types of medical tools, enhancing patient care services. The funds were pooled from multiple contributors, including the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO) with RM134,560, the National Water Services Commission (SPAN) with RM50,000, and the remaining RM63,200 from employer and individual wakalah allocations.

'This contribution benefits not only individuals but institutions serving the public. It proves zakat can enhance our social system's capacity,' he said. Wakalah, a policy under MAIWP, allows zakat contributors to directly channel funds to eligible recipients (asnaf). The funds have already been used to procure critical hospital equipment, including diathermy machines, defibrillators, and ECG machines. Dr Nor'Aishah Abu Bakar, Federal Territories Director of Health, expressed gratitude for the initiative, stating, 'The donated equipment will greatly benefit hospital staff and improve patient comfort.'

PPZ-MAIWP Channels Wakalah Funds Of RM247,760 To Putrajaya Hospital
PUTRAJAYA, July 17 (Bernama) -- The Federal Territories Islamic Religious Council-Zakat Collection Centre (PPZ-MAIWP) today contributed RM247,760 in wakalah funds to Putrajaya Hospital for the purchase of over 30 types of medical equipment. The donation was made possible through the wakalah funds of several zakat contributors - the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO), which contributed RM134,560; the National Water Services Commission (SPAN), which contributed RM50,000; and the remaining RM63,200 from employer and individual wakalah allocations. Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr Mohd Na'im Mokhtar, who officiated the symbolic handover ceremony, described the donation as more than just financial aid, but also a testament to the spirit of empathy and a strong sense of social responsibility, particularly towards the country's healthcare system. 'We all recognise that the healthcare sector today faces numerous challenges, from rising patient numbers to increasingly complex treatment demands. 'This contribution benefits not only individuals but institutions that serve the public, such as hospitals. It proves that zakat is not limited to personal distribution but can also enhance the overall capacity of our social system,' he said. Wakalah is a policy under which MAIWP returns a portion of zakat or tithe payments to contributors, typically organisations or corporations, allowing them to channel the funds directly to eligible recipients (asnaf). The funds have already been used to procure essential hospital equipment, including diathermy machines, defibrillators, electrocardiogram (ECG) machines, and various other medical tools to support patient care and funeral management services. Earlier in the day, Dr Mohd Na'im handed over a mock cheque to Dr Nor'Aishah Abu Bakar, Federal Territories Director of Health, and toured the Putrajaya Hospital's Paediatric Endocrinology Ward. Also present at the event were Putrajaya Hospital director Dr Suraya Amir Husin, acting chief executive officer of MAIWP Datuk Mohd Nizam Yahya, and chief executive officer of PPZ-MAIWP Datuk Abdul Hakim Amir Osman.
