Also present were BDA deputy chairman Dato Haidar Khan Asghar Khan and secretary Wan Ibrahim Wan Ali.

“This RM3.6 million is our highest zakat contribution so far. It reflects not only our financial success but also our responsibility beyond taxation. If our profits continue to grow, so will our contributions,” he said.
