BAGAN DATOH: All corporate bodies have been urged to carry out their corporate social responsibility (CSR) to help the less fortunate.
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the riches owned should be shared and it should be shared with sincerity.
“This is not about the amount, what’s important is sincerity. We have functions like this to tell the people here this is not merely corporate responsibility but is also syariah responsibility,” he said in his speech at the handing over of Ramadan contribution in the Rungkup state constituency here yesterday.
According to Ahmad Zahid, who is also Bagan Datoh Member of Parliament, the property one possessed one did not own entirely as a small portion belonged to the poor, tithe recipients and single mothers.
In fact, he said the legitimate revenue which was given to the handicapped, household heads, tithe recipients and single mothers would surely be blessed by Allah.
“I hope the property owned will be fully made use of. It is akin to sowing a wheat seed, and from the seed will grow a wheat crop, there are 10 stalks in a wheat plant and each stalk has 70 seeds. Such is the renumeration conferred by Allah,” he said. — Bernama
