Menteri Agama blur minta Menteri Agama blur lulus; minta RM1 juta lulus RM4 juta...

NONE
Mengapa Yayasan Taqwa menerima wang zakat RM4 juta dari Majlis Agama Islam Wilayah Persekutuan (MAIWP) tahun lalu sedangkan ia hanya meminta RM1 juta?

Soalan itu dikemukakan hari ini oleh Ketua Pemuda PAS Nasrudin Hassan kepada Menteri di Jabatan Perdana, Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom yang berkata keadaan itu cukup mengelirukan.

“Pada 17 September 2011 Yayasan Taqwa pohon RM1 juta kepada MAIWP tetapi pada 12 November 2011 jawatankuasa Baitulmal MAIWP melulus RM4 juta.

“Jumlah itu bukan sahaja mencurigakan, apatah lagi Pengerusi MAIWP dan Pemegang Amanah Yayasan Taqwa itu adalah orang yang sama,” kata Nasrudin pada sidang akhbar di Kuala Lumpur pagi ini.

 

Katanya, Jamil Khir (kanan) bertanggungjawab terhadap kedua-dua badan itu.

“Erti kata lain macam Jamil Khir minta pada Jamil Khir, Jamil Khir lulus pada Jamil Khir,” katanya sambil menambah keadaan itu menimbulkan banyak tanda tanya.


NONE Sementara itu, Ketua Pemuda PAS Wilayah Persekutuan Kamaruzaman Mohamad, berkata peranan Yayasan Taqwa pada asasnya yang serupa dengan MAIWP.

"Tugas Yayasan Taqwa adalah untuk mengagihkan zakat, tetapi MAIWP juga menjalankan tugas itu. Jadi mengapa perlu orang tengah?" soal beliau.

Rabu lalu, Pemuda PAS menuntut supaya satu badan bebas dilantik untuk mengaudit Yayasan Taqwa kerana mendakwa banyak perjalanan badan penyalur bantuan zakat itu yang diragui.


Antaranya, yang didakwa itu ialah perbelanjaan sehingga RM2 juta yang direkodkan yayasan itu, sepertimana dalam laporan tahunan 2010 MAIWP.

Laporan itu pula tidak menunjukkan siapakah penerima wang zakat tersebut tetapi hanya jumlah kutipan dan juga agihan wang zakat.-

Baitulmal: Jamil Khir mohon, dia sendiri lulus?



RM4mil zakat fund poser for Jamil Khir

Why did Yayasan Taqwa receive RM4 million from the Federal Territories Islamic Affairs Council (MAIWP) Baitulmal last year when it had only sought RM1 million?

PAS Youth chief Nasrudin Hassan (right) has demanded answers from Jamil Khir Baharom, the minister in the Prime Minister’s Department who is in charge of Islamic affairs.

"Yayasan Taqwa applied for RM1 million from MAIWP and was granted RM4 million. Why is this? How can the same person apply for and approve the money?" Nasrudin posed at a press conference in Kuala Lumpur this morning.


He pointed out that Jamil is charge of both bodies.


Federal Territories PAS Youth chief Kamaruzaman Mohamad, who is also the party’s Youth Zakat Task Force director, said Yayasan Taqwa's role is essentially similar to that of MAIWP.


"Yayasan Taqwa's job is to distribute zakat (tithes), but MAIWP is already doing that. So why do you need a middle man?" he asked.


Last Wednesday, PAS Youth had asked Jamil to justify Yayasan Taqwa's expenditure of RM2 million.
The foundation had defended the spending, saying that the amount encompassed its administrative costs, programmes, staff pay and utility bills.

Nasrudin today appeared dissatisfied with the explanation, calling on Khir to reveal details of how the money was spent.

"We also want Yayasan's Taqwa's audit report to be made public so there is no suspicion," he added.

 
Late last year, Jamil Khir had denied misusing zakat funds to pay his legal fees in a court case involving the Sodomy II complaint. - malaysiakini




Tough love for Muslims on Valentine's Day


Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Jamil Khir Baharom(right) has urged state Islamic religious departments to act against Muslims celebrating Valentine’s Day.


“We are moving simultaneously across the country to enforce regulations,” he told reporters after a ceremony to present aid to mosques in Negri Sembilan by Menteri Besar Mohamad Hasan in Seremban today.


He said that various forms of preaching, advice, opinion and statements on  Valentine’s Day had been made because it is not the practice for Muslims.


“We fear that the love being celebrated by couples are not in the sense of husband and wife. Other than giving advice, we also have to act,” he added.


cheers.
