Anwar approves RM4.6m for upgrades at 27 Penang Islamic institutions

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has approved an additional RM4.6 million for infrastructure upgrades at 27 Islamic educational institutions across Penang, increasing the allocation from RM2.11 million last year. The funds will be used for various improvements such as walls, fences, madrasahs, schools, new kindergarten buildings, and tahfiz academies.

Anwar emphasized the importance of strengthening religious education facilities in the country and urged the public to utilize the freedom in the nation to organize more religious programs to deepen their understanding of Islam.
