RM25.60mil Sarawak zakat contribution distributed to needy
Tabung Baitulmal Sarawak (TBS) collected RM30.43mil in zakat (tithes) from January to March this year.

TBS general manager Datuk Abang Mohd Shibli Abang Mohd Nailie said the fund had distributed RM25.60mil to those in need during the same period.

“Most of our assistance is specifically targeted towards those in the asnaf (less fortunate) category,” he told reporters at TBS Sibu Customer Day in conjunction with Hari Raya Aidilfitri at Sibu Islamic Complex.

Abang Mohd Shibli said zakat conributions were distributed to recipients through four main programmes, focusing on strengthening knowledge traditions, developing Islamic institutions, enhancing people’s welfare, and skills enhancement.

On the Customer Day event, he said it drew about 1,500 people from different backgrounds.

“We hold this programme every year to thank our customers and partners, especially state government offices, Federal Government agencies and private organisations.

“They have also helped us in identifying those eligible for assistance,” he added.
