I would like to highlight an entry from a fellow friend on Pusat Urus Zakat Pulau Pinang here.

Do read. Recommended.

" BUKIT MERTAJAM - Pusat Urus Zakat (PUZ) Pulau Pinang mengutip RM33.5 juta bagi pelbagai jenis zakat, antara Januari hingga 15 Disember lalu. Pengurus Besarnya, Dr Azman Abdul Samat, berkata jumlah itu dijangka mampu mengatasi keseluruhan kutipan tahun lalu RM34.3 juta. "Kita optimis mampu mengatasi jumlah zakat tahun lalu berikutan nilai perbezaan hanya RM800,000 saja. Jadi, mereka yang belum berzakat digalak berbuat demikian," katanya.

Tak faham la apa yg dibangga-banggakan sangat dgn kutipan juta-juta tu, as if org2 PUZ tu yang membanting tulang bermandi peluh and talking as if itu duit 'keuntungan company' depa. kenapa? Duit2 tu org2 Islam yg berkesedaran utk menunaikan rukun islam depa and it just so happens that PUZ is a Pusat Urus Zakat. If dapat duit juta-juta, jangan dok bangga-bangga selagi Malaysia tak bebas fakir miskin. What they should have done is do more kempen kesedaran utk org2 Islam lain. Lagi bagus kalau kami boleh nampak mcm mana fakir2 miskin ni improve their lives. We would like to know if PUZ able to teach a man to fish, so he can fish by himself for the rest of his life. We don't want to hear u boasting on how much money people have assigned you to do your job. That is not your money.
