MAIPs salur RM5,000 bantu rakyat Malaysia hadapi kecemasan di Australia
MAIPs berkata inisiatif itu sebagai sebahagian usaha memperluaskan peranan zakat merentasi sempadan.
Majlis Agama Islam dan Adat Istiadat Melayu Perlis (MAIPs) has donated RM5,000 through Ibnu Sabil assistance to help Malaysian people facing anxiety or lack of supplies while in Australia. The symbolic handover was made by Raja Muda Perlis Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail to Nabil Muzhaffar Amir Hamzah, the Education Malaysia (EM) Australia and Malaysia Consulate Senior Representative in Sydney.
The donation aims to serve as a social safety net for the Malaysian community experiencing difficulties continuing their journey or needing immediate aid overseas. This move follows the growing number of Malaysian people living in Australia, including 12,104 students as of June, and the 39,555 Malaysian-born residents in New South Wales according to Australian Bureau of Statistics 2021. Furthermore, 213,680 Malaysian visitors are recorded by Tourism Research Australia in 2025.
Ibnu Sabil initiative plays a part in expanding the zakat function beyond national borders, furthering Malaysia's role in caring for the community, the MAIPs statement said.
