KUALA LUMPUR, March 15 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today launched the MARA Madani Waqf, aimed at strengthening the Malay and Bumiputera agenda in the country.
Anwar said the waqf initiative is part of the Islamic heritage to build strength from the grassroots level.
He added that it would provide Malays and Bumiputera with opportunities to develop and take charge of their own future.
“With the belief that we are working together as a team, these small efforts will grow into strength. This is not an excuse to reduce government funding.
“The MARA Madani Waqf demonstrates that we have reached a stage where we are not just receiving opportunities and allocations, but it is now time to show that we are a dignified people capable of shaping our future,” he said at the launch ceremony at the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur. — Bernama
