MAIWP allocates over RM59 million for asnaf welfare programmes in collaboration with NGOs, religious institutions
KUALA LUMPUR: The Federal Territories Islamic Religious Council (MAIWP) has allocated RM59.35 million this year to fund welfare programmes for the asnaf through strategic collaboration with non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and related institutions. Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr Mohd Na'im Mokhtar said this was an effort by MAIWP to expand its role in ensuring that no asnaf is left out of receiving assistance. He said NGOs and religious institutions such as mosques and suraus, tahfiz centres as well as shelters play an important role as field partners able to directly support the community and understand the real wants of the needy. 'My message to all NGOs; be the eyes and ears of MAIWP as you all are on the ground, always with the needy. 'Without you, MAIWP will probably be unable to reach all the hidden paces that may be difficult for us to get to,' he said when speaking at an event with NGOs and strategic partners of MAIWP 2025 here today. Also present at the event were MAIWP chairman Syed Kamarulzaman Syed Kabeer and acting chief executive officer Mohd Fauzi Abidin. Meanwhile, Mohd Na'im said that last year MAIWP allocated RM49.3 million to NGOs and related agencies under the Ummah Development Cluster. He also said that until yesterday (May 21), a total of RM399.2 million in zakat funds had been distributed to MAIWP through various aid schemes mobilised under six main clusters. These clusters are Welfare, Protection, Economy, Medicine, Education and Developmen, in addition to ongoing programmes and initiatives in the Federal Territory, Putrajaya and Labuan.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Federal Territories Islamic Religious Council (MAIWP) has distributed RM314,879,762.44 in zakat (tithe) funds to the asnaf group as of April 21. MAIWP chairman Syed Kamarulzaman Syed Kabeer said the distribution was carried out through various initiatives and aid clusters across the Federal Territories of Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, and Labuan. These include the welfare aid cluster, education aid cluster, and the Wakalah programme, which collectively aim to improve the quality of life and opportunities for the asnaf community. Earlier today, MAIWP hosted 600 asnaf individuals, including children, at the Jalinan Aidilfitri Bersama Asnaf event held at the Dewan Perdana Felda. Also present was Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr Mohd Na'im Mokhtar. In his speech, Mohd Na'im emphasised that MAIWP's ability to provide such large-scale assistance is a result of the continuous support from the Muslim community, who contribute zakat through MAIWP and the Zakat Collection Centre (PPZ-MAIWP). 'This proves that a transparent and efficient zakat ecosystem can be a major driver of social justice and the well-being of the people in the city,' he said. During the event, MAIWP presented a special contribution of RM200 and souvenirs worth RM120 each to 400 asnaf recipients. In addition, 200 children received duit raya of RM50 each, amounting to a total of RM138,000 in zakat funds. Also present at the ceremony were Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Senator Dr Zulkifli Hasan, and the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM) director-general Datuk Dr Sirajuddin Suhaimee.
