GEDONG: Badan Kebajikan Kakitangan Islam Petronas (Bakip) contributed RM30,000 to some 200 less fortunate people who were eligible to receive zakat (tithe) aid here.
The zakat contribution was divided into three zones – Gedong, Pangkor Gedong and Ulu Gedong.
The contribution was distributed by advisor to the Sarawak Ministry of International Trade, Industry and Investment, Datuk Mohd Naroden Majais during the ‘Iftar Perdana Petronas’ programme at Al-Kawthar Mosque, Gedong on April 8.
Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas) Sarawak general manager Zulaihi M Mantali said the contribution was made possible through the generous donations from Petronas employees.
“The donation is also part of Bakip’s ongoing efforts to alleviate the burden of those in need, especially during the holy month of Ramadan.”
