MGIB firmly believes in being at the heart of the community. Our focus in 2013 centred around two key areas, namely:
• improving communities’ welfare and quality of life and promoting sustainable community development through zakat contribution and qurban
• promoting children’s health and education
In 2013, our major focus was on improving quality of life towards sustainable community development through zakat contribution totalling RM15.2 million to the States’
Pusat Zakat and eligible recipients (Asnaf) community groups. As part of the zakat project, we collaborated with Islamic Relief Malaysia in providing food aid during
Ramadhan to ease the burden of about 8,800 poor and needy families at 35 selected mosques nationwide.
In promoting children’s education, we pledged RM1 million to almost 2,000 students of Maktab Rendah Sains Mara (MRSM) and Yayasan Pelajaran Mara (YPM) as part of the
Zakat Tuition Programme. This year, the Qurban Perdana Maybank celebration, which is an annual Hari Raya Qurban event initiated by Maybank Islamic and PKIMB (Menara
Maybank Staff Islamic Association), went regional. Apart from the celebration with Region Offices in Malaysia, it was also held in other countries where Maybank Group has
presence, i.e. Singapore, Indonesia and Brunei. The regionalisation of this celebration reflects upon MGIB living its religious obligation, enhancing its global brand presence
as well as reinforcing our mission to humanising communities in need across the region.
In promoting children’s health, Maybank Islamic had sponsored a total of 36 paediatric children heart patients to undergo specialist medical treatment at Institut Jantung
Negara (IJN) including a build-up of children play-area and mini library. There are also other initiatives in the pipeline to reach out to the community that involve patient
sponsorship from across the region.
