Deputy Minister of Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Presents Donation to Mosques and Asnaf in Sungai Buloh

RM190,000 Donation to 16 Mosques and 300 Asnaf

Datuk Seri R. Ramanan, the Deputy Minister of Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives (KUSKOP), presented a donation of RM190,000 to 16 mosques and 300 asnaf at the Kota Damansara Mosque in Kuala Lumpur today. The assistance was made possible through the MADANI Community Outreach programme: Delivery of Ihya Ramadan Contributions to the needy around the Sungai Buloh Parliament.

Aiming to Help the Less Fortunate

Ramanan expressed his happiness at being able to be present at the event and interact with the asnaf children and the poor who attended. He commended Bank Rakyat for implementing programmes like this to help the less fortunate in conjunction with the upcoming month of Ramadan and Hari Raya Aidilfitri. “Well done to Bank Rakyat and I hope that more initiatives like this can be done not only in the Sungai Buloh Parliament, but in other constituencies,” he said.

Programmes to Continue

Ramanan was joined by KUSKOP Deputy Secretary-General (Monitoring Policy) Noor Afifah Abdul Razak and Bank Rakyat Acting Chief Executive Officer Ahmad Shahril Mohd Shariff during the programme. Ahmad Shahril explained that each mosque received a contribution of RM10,000 to organise activities during Ramadan and Syawal, while each asnaf received RM100 cash. “Programs like this will continue to be implemented by Bank Rakyat. This is not an annual event. In fact, if there is a need, Bank Rakyat will go to the field to implement corporate social responsibility (CSR) programmes like this. Today’s handover is the result of CSR and zakat contributions to the recipients,” he said.

Conclusion

The donation presented by Datuk Seri R. Ramanan is a testament to the efforts of Bank Rakyat in supporting the less fortunate during the holy month of Ramadan. The MADANI Community Outreach programme is a commendable initiative that demonstrates the bank’s commitment to corporate social responsibility. As the Deputy Minister of Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives, Ramanan’s presence at the event serves as a reminder of the importance of community outreach and support for the needy.
