We have been doing our part for quite some time ago, but we believe this is the time to spread this through the net. By doing so, we hope that we can get more people out there to be aware + hopefully participate in this good cause.
Most of us do somewhat live comfortably [ok, many not rich, but not that poor]. Sometimes while we are busy making ends meet + get caught up into our own self-centered world, we do forget or we choose to ignore that there are people out there who are living in conditions that are beyond our imaginations [directing mainly to Malaysians, maybe in some third world countries, there is no need to imagine cause it's an everyday scene... i don't know]
We are a loose entity that hopes to give directly to the needy without going through red tape bueracracy + to actually know where our donation money is going to.... without a doubt. What prompted this was frustration of not knowing where our money went afterwards because some that should receive the benefits don't + some who should not be getting do.
What more in Malaysia, it seems that whatever 'zakat' that you contribute will stay in the state that you contribute.... Somehow this doesn't sound right cause what about the states that do not receive a lot of collection but have more poor people??? Should the money that is being collected be pooled + distributed fairly throughout, regardless whether you are poor anywhere? Definitely some glitch in the system. To add to this uneasiness, every year you see that amount collected from some states are in the hundred of millions but there are still so many needy people out there.. so why are not this money distributed?
