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. Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr Mohd Na'im Mokhtar officiated the symbolic handover, highlighting the donation as a reflection of empathy and social responsibility. 'This contribution benefits not only individuals but institutions serving the public. It proves zakat can enhance our social system's capacity,' he said.

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.
