Chinese Muslim group denies 'converts abuse zakat' claim

An NGO representing Chinese Muslims said it has no knowledge of an alleged syndicate using Muslim converts to abuse zakat aid.

This comes after the claim made by Federal Territories Islamic Affairs Council Baitulmal deputy manager Ahmad Tarmizi Yahya yesterday when justifying red tape in the disbursement of zakat.

"I have never come across such a case. Muslim converts who seek aid from Baitulmal are poor, and only some of them actually receive the aid.

"Baitulmal's duty is to disburse the aid when it is sought because it must be rightfully disbursed. What the recipient does with the money is between him and Allah," Chinese Muslim Malaysia Association's Malacca chapter chairperson Lim Jooi Soon said.
