MBSB Bank Bhd menawarkan kemudahan Fasiliti Sokongan Akaun 2 (FSA2) patuh Syariah Ihsan-i kepada pencarum Kumpulan Wang Simpanan Pekerja (KWSP) bermula 7 April 2023.
Bank itu berkata, kemudahan Ihsan-i yang disediakan bertujuan membantu ahli KWSP yang berusia 40 hingga 55 tahun yang memiliki i-Akaun KWSP dan mempunyai sekurang-kurangnya RM3,000 di dalam Akaun 2 untuk mendapatkan pembiayaan peribadi patuh syariah dengan kadar kompetitif.
Jumlah pembiayaan maksimum adalah RM50,000 dengan tempoh pembayaran sehingga 10 tahun, kata Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif kumpulan, Datuk Nor Azam M Taib.
“Pembayaran ansuran bulanan Ihsan-i pada tahun pertama adalah lebih rendah kerana pelanggan hanya perlu membayar kadar keuntungan sahaja,” katanya dalam satu kenyataan pada Khamis.
Ihsan-i oleh MBSB Bank berlandaskan Syariah dan mengguna pakai konsep Tawarruq dan antara kelebihannya adalah kadar keuntungan yang rendah, tiada caj proses dan tiada caj penamatan awal.
Ihsan-i juga akan memberi rebat atau Ibra’ atas kadar keuntungan bank sekiranya pembayaran baki pembiayaan ditamatkan lebih awal daripada tempoh yang dipersetujui.
Permohonan boleh dibuat dalam talian melalui laman sesawang www.fsa2mbsbbank.com bermula 7 April 2023.
Kelulusan pembiayaan adalah tertakluk kepada kelayakan pembiayaan dan kedudukan kredit para pemohon. – Bernama
SHAH ALAM – [DIKEMAS KINI] World #QuranHour yang akan berlangsung di setiap Rumah Ngaji seluruh Malaysia pada 13 April ini bakal mendapat sambutan yang memberangsangkan daripada kalangan pencinta al-Quran.
Penggerak Rumah Ngaji Komuniti Teluk Muroh, Manjung, Perak, Datin Maziah Rafie berkata, pihaknya menjangkakan seramai 50 orang menyertai program itu.
Jelas beliau, majlis tersebut diharapkan dapat memberi makna yang besar kepada masyarakat sekitar dari segi penghayatan al-Quran di sekitar pemukiman berkenaan.
“Semenjak penubuhannya pada 2018, kami sentiasa turun padang bertemu dengan penduduk dalam memberi penerangan dan tunjuk ajar tentang pendidikan terhadap kitab suci ini.
“Oleh itu, pada program World#QuranHour, ia sangat diharapkan dapat menjadi satu titik memperkasakan lagi usaha kami memartabatkan al-Quran.
“Majlis yang mendapat kerjasama Tentera Laut Diraja Malaysia (TLDM) di tempat kami ini akan bermula dua hari lebih awal berbanding di lokasi lain atas beberapa faktor,” katanya ketika dihubungi Sinar Harian pada Rabu.
Sementara itu, pihak Rumah Ngaji Taman Semarak, Nilai, Negeri Sembilan berharap, program World#QuranHour tersebut dapat menerapkan jiwa kemanusiaan dan ketakwaan dalam kalangan peserta selaras dengan konsep surah Al-Insan yang akan dibawa.
Penggeraknya, Profesor Dr Norita Md Norwawi berkata, pembawaan surah itu dilihat amat bertepatan dengan sifat kesederhanaan dalam kalangan penduduk di komuniti taman berkenaan.
“Dengan kesederhanaan yang dimiliki oleh mereka, kita perkuatkan lagi dengan penghayatan al-Quran yang menjadi tunggak kehidupan setiap muslim,” ujarnya yang juga merupakan pensyarah di Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM).
Berkongsi pandangan sama, Penggerak Rumah Ngaji Ampang@Akademi Al-Quran Al-Bayan, Selangor, Norhaida Kasim berkata, program World#QuranHour diharapkan dapat menjadi titik permulaan terhadap pembinaan sahsiah dan keinsanan dalam kalangan umat Islam di Malaysia.

Pada jam 9 pagi, mata wang tempatan turun kepada 4.4030/4070 berbanding dolar AS daripada kadar penutup urus niaga Rabu pada paras 4.3970/4020.
Ketua Ekonomi dan Kewangan Sosial Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd, Dr Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid berkata, Indeks Dolar AS (DXY) melantun semula sebanyak 0.32 peratus kepada 101.91 mata.

“Begitu juga, perubahan guna tenaga ADP yang mengukur penghasilan pekerjaan dalam sektor swasta turun menjadi 145,000 pada Mac (Februari: 242,000) berbanding jangkaan pasaran 200,000,” katanya kepada Bernama.
Mata wang utama lain seperti Euro dan pound Britain (GBP) juga lebih rendah berbanding dolar AS, masing-masing turun 0.01 peratus dan 0.31 peratus kepada AS$1.09 dan AS$1.24.

KUMPULAN Jakel menyasarkan jualannya meningkat sekitar 30 peratus kepada RM1.3 bilion tahun ini berbanding RM1 bilion yang dicatatkan tahun lalu, susulan sektor ekonomi yang kembali dibuka pasca Covid-19 termasuk promosi baharu syarikatnya iaitu Jualan Rahmah Baju Raya Jakel.
Pengarah Urusan Datuk Seri Mohamed Faroz Mohamed Jakel berkata, syarikat itu menawarkan lebih tiga juta pasang baju terdiri daripada baju Melayu serta pakaian wanita dan kanak-kanak sempena Aidilfitri tahun ini dengan 40 peratus daripadanya telah terjual setakat semalam.
Pihaknya yakin mampu menjual sekurang-kurangnya 90 peratus daripada jumlah pakaian berkenaan.
“Pada 2017, 2018 dan 2019, kita mencatat jualan kain sebanyak RM1.4 bilion setiap tahun. Bila Covid-19 melanda, (jualan) jatuh separuh kepada sekitar RM700 juta setahun,” katanya dalam sidang media pelancaran gedung tekstil baharu Jakel cawangan Shah Alam di sini.
Mengulas berhubung gedung sementara baharu itu yang terletak bersebelahan Hospital Shah Alam, Mohamed Faroz berkata, gedung berkeluasan 80,000 kaki milik Jakel Realty Sdn Bhd itu mampu menampung seramai 10,000 pengunjung dalam satu-satu masa.
Gedung yang terletak 200 meter dari premis lama di Pusat Komersial Seksyen 7 yang terbakar awal Januari itu telah mendapat kelulusan beroperasi dari Majlis Bandaraya Shah Alam (MBSA), Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), bomba serta pihak berkaitan.
“Gedung sementara yang dibina dengan struktur kukuh iaitu besi serta dinding batu dan bukan khemah sementara itu turut dibenarkan beroperasi selama dua tahun oleh MBSA dan mula dibuka kepada umum pada 25 Mac lalu,” katanya.
Mengenai premis lamanya yang terbakar, Mohamed Faroz berkata premis itu masih dalam proses ujian kekuatan bangunan untuk melihat sama ada bangunan masih kukuh bagi dibaik pulih atau dirobohkan.
“Kita akan mendapatkan maklumat pada Mei nanti, jika kita perlu roboh, kita akan robohkan dan bina semula tetapi kalau perlu dibaiki kita akan baiki. Bomba memaklumkan kepada kita kebakaran bangunan itu berpunca dari lintar pintas.
“Sama ada dilakukan kerja baik pulih besar-besaran atau dibina semula, bangunan lama (yang terbakar) itu dijangka siap dan sedia untuk beroperasi semula pada 2025.
Mohamed Faroz berkata, pihaknya juga merancang pembinaan Jakel Mall di kawasan premis sementara tersebut dalam tempoh dua tahun akan datang. – Bernama.

In order to offer financial assistance to potential hajj pilgrims planning to subscribe to hajj packages through 22 Pengelola Jemaah Haji (PJH) firms appointed by Lembaga Tabung Haji (TH), which are also members of BUMITRA, financial solutions were agreed upon by Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad (Bank Islam) and BUMITRA.
The MoU also aims to affect a partnership and knowledge-sharing session educating BUMITRA members on financing solutions Bank Islam provides, especially for Hajj and Umrah. The collaboration area includes disseminating information regarding the facilities and services offered.
Among the services include Debit Card-i Bank Islam Visa Tabung Haji. The debit card has various unique features and exclusive rewards for cardholders. Besides offering a vast payment network and cash access worldwide, the card facilitates financial transactions for hajj pilgrims in Arab Saudi, including waiving the charges for cash withdrawals during hajj season.
At the event, Bank Islam also launched a campaign, ‘Once in a Lifetime’, especially for potential Hajj or next of kin who want to help parents to perform Hajj by applying for this personal financing with a minimum amount of RM50,000. The campaign runs from 24 March to 31 May 2023 and offers a chance to win Umrah package prizes.
The personal financing package provides an opportunity for prospective Hajj pilgrims who can repay the financing in a structured manner according to their respective financial capabilities.
Mohd Muazzam said, “Since the cost of the Hajj package is increasing due to external factors, the personal financing offered is timely to enable more Muslims who can fulfil the 5th pillar of Islam.”
“Meanwhile, Bank Islam’s role is not only limited to a financial solution hub for pilgrims but will be expanded comprehensively to more than 600 tourism companies registered under BUMITRA and their customers,” Mohd Muazzam adds.
Apart from Personal Financing products and Bank Islam Tabung Haji Visa Debit Card-i, Bank Islam, as a hub of financial solutions for pilgrims, also offers other products such as the Al-Awfar investment account, credit card-i, takaful protection products, will-writing, online and mobile banking facilities and foreign currency exchange at Bank Islam’s ‘Bureau de Change’ counter. With the existence of these benefits, it is in line with Bank Islam’s aspiration, which is ‘Urusan Dipermudah, Lebih Tenang Beribadah’.
The MoU was signed by Mizan Masram, Group Chief Business Officer – Retail, Bank Islam Group and BUMITRA and AB Rahman Mohd Ali, BUMITRA’s Honorary Secretary General. Mohd Muazzam Mohamed, Bank Islam Group Chief Executive Officer; Harun KC Ahmmu, President of BUMITRA and Mohamed Ameen S.M.A Abdul Wahab, Executive Director Operations, TH Group Operations Division, witnessed the signing.

myTukar, one of Malaysia’s fastest-growing used vehicle ecosystems, has created its first-ever festive marketing film in honour of Eid al-Fitr, emphasising the value of love, understanding, and community.
Titled ‘Drive’, the film tells a story of a father and son who are apart as the holiday season approaches. Despite the son’s busy work schedule, the father is determined to bring them closer, as he prepares for an Eid reunion under the pretext of fixing up their old car together. Will the son finally understand his father’s heart and go home to what matters?
myTukar CEO Derrick Eng says, “As a Malaysian, I know how important Raya is for all of us. And as a Malaysian brand, we want to highlight the true significance of Raya. It is our hope that this short film will resonate with all busy, hardworking Malaysians, and remind us all to carve out time for our family members, not just during festive periods. During this time of the year, we are committed to safely bring countless families together as they balik kampung.”
The festive film will also be released in Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand – markets that myTukar’s parent company, Carro, is present in.
Carro Creative Director Simond Chew says, “Kinship and love are important threads that bind us tightly and this homecoming story is one that is easily understood across the region. The journey to recognising the love that our family members have for us and vice versa takes more than just a drive home – it’s about the time and care that we intentionally carve out for each other.”
