(Photo MAIPs) PENAJAM PAHANG: The Majlis Agama Islam dan Adat Istiadat Melayu Perlis (MAIPs) announced the payment of the aid, which serves as a social safety net for Malaysians abroad who are struggling to continue their journey or require immediate assistance while being overseas.
The symbolic donation was handed over by Perak's Crown Prince, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail, to Nabil Muzhaffar Amir Hamzah, the Education Malaysia representative in Australia and Consular Head of Malaysia in Sydney, at The University of Sydney. Additionally, Perak's Crown Princess, Tuanku Lailatul Shahreen Akashah Khalil, also attended the event.
According to MAIPs, the establishment of a support network becomes increasingly vital as the number of Malaysians residing in Australia continues to grow, including 12,104 students as of June last year. Data also shows that 39,555 Malaysian-born individuals live in New South Wales, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics 2021, while 213,680 Malaysian visitors were recorded by Tourism Research Australia in 2025.
The Ibnu Sabil initiative aims to expand the role of zakat beyond its traditional functions by providing Malaysia's preferred representation abroad in upholding the welfare of its citizens.
