MAIK Expands Digital ‘Sedekah' Access Via Collaboration With SecurePay
GENERAL KOTA BHARU, July 30 (Bernama) -- The Kelantan Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIK) today signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Syarikat Securepay Sdn Bhd to develop the Sedekah e-Jariah Masjid and Sedekah Seriya Sehari digital platforms. MAIK president Tan Sri Tengku Mohamad Rizam Tengku Abdul Aziz said Securepay had contributed RM460,000 towards the platforms' development through its corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative. He added that the e-Jariah Masjid system, launched on 20 February, provides a convenient platform for the public to make online donations to 621 mosques across Kelantan. 'Meanwhile, the Sedekah Seriya Sehari platform, launched this month, targets every Kelantanese, regardless of location, to contribute 'seriya' (RM1) a day,' he told reporters after witnessing the MoU signing ceremony. The MoU was signed by MAIK deputy president Datuk Mohd Anis Hussein and Securepay executive director Datuk Amir Haris Ahmad. Tengku Mohamad Rizam said that, in line with MAIK's role as a religious institution, its responsibilities should be broadened by providing the public with easy, transparent and secure means to make donations. Elaborating, he added that although the Sedekah Seriya Sehari platform involved only a small daily donation of RM1 from each individual, it could still make a significant impact on society, particularly for those in need who fall outside the asnaf (eligible tithe recipients) category. 'A daily contribution of RM1 can help ease the burdens of the less fortunate, regardless of race, ethnicity or religion. This MoU is expected to bring great benefits to the people of Kelantan and advance the digital transformation of online donations and infaq,' he said. --BERNAMA

Fire Department Defers To AGC Over Influencer Brothers' False Report Sentence
MARANG, July 29 (Bernama) -- The Fire and Rescue Department of Malaysia (JBPM) is leaving it to the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) to assess the sentence handed down to motoring influencer Tengku Nizaruddin Tengku Zainudin and his brother, Tengku Abdul Aziz, for lodging a false police report. JBPM director-general Datuk Nor Hisham Mohamad said the department respects the court's decision to impose a one-month jail term and RM1,500 fine on the brothers, despite public criticism that the sentence was too lenient given the potential impact on public trust and safety. 'Some feel the punishment was too light, especially considering the damage to the credibility and safety risks posed by someone with influence. 'But we have to respect the authorities with greater legal standing on the matter,' he told reporters after the closing ceremony of National Firefighter Drill 2025 at the Eastern Region Fire and Rescue Academy parade ground in Wakaf Tapai today. Nor Hisham added that although JBPM has its own legislation, which could allow the department to act, the matter has been left entirely to the police as the primary enforcement authority. Yesterday, the AGC filed a notice of appeal against the Muar Magistrates' Court decision to sentence Tengku Nizaruddin and his younger brother, Tengku Abdul Aziz, to one month's jail and a RM1,500 fine for lodging a false report and providing false information to a public servant. In a separate development, Nor Hisham said JBPM Perak has been instructed to suspend a volunteer firefighter linked to a lewd video that recently went viral on social media. Although the individual involved is not a full-time firefighter, Nor Hisham said the incident has nonetheless tarnished the reputation of the department as a whole. 'It's deeply disappointing when someone from our ranks engages in such behaviour. Yesterday, I reminded all state JBPM directors to remain vigilant against any actions that could damage the department's image,' he said.
