Previously, a similar program was held with influencers and received an encouraging response.
Today’s program began with an informal discussion focused on three main panelists: Selangor Mufti, Dato’ Setia Prof. Madya Dr. Anhar Opir; former Chief Executive Officer of Tabung Haji, Datuk Nik Mohd Hasyudeen Yusoff; and CEO of MBI, Ts. Saipolyazan M. Yusop, discussing leadership, the importance of zakat, and the significance of integrity and innovation in zakat management and social development.
This was followed by a roundtable discussion involving CEOs and key leaders of corporate companies, where the resolutions discussed will be escalated to the highest level of LZS to be adopted as part of the agenda to strengthen zakat collection and distribution in Selangor.
