KUALA LUMPUR, May 15—All donations channelled by Malaysians toPalestine through non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in this country all this while were for the needs of the Palestinians and not for the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Refutingclaims that donations raised by Malaysian NGOshad failed to reach the Al Aqsa Mosque,Humanitarian Care Malaysia (MyCARE) chairman Dr Hafidzi Mohd Noor said the donations collected for thepast 17 years werefor targeted recipients in Palestine including those living near Al-Aqsa Mosque andBaitulmuqaddis (Jerusalem).
He said the claims had originally surfaced last yearbut had recently re-emerged.
Dr Hafidzi clarifiedthatthe maintenance of the mosque was managed by the Jerusalem Wakaf Department under Jordan’s Wakaf Ministry.
“The funds we raised arefor Palestinians’education, transportation, medical, healthcare and also food. We never raised funds for the mosque (Al-Aqsa),” he told Bernama when contactedtoday.
Hafidzidescribed thenews report which quotedPalestinian ambassador to Malaysia Walid Abu Ali last year as confusing and misleading.
Last year, Walidclaimeddonations raised by Malaysian NGOshad failed to reach the Al-Aqsa Mosque fund for years and the news report that carried his claims has been going viral in the past few days.
Meanwhile, Palestinian Culture Organisation Malaysia (PICOM) chairman, Muslim Imran believed that theMalaysian humanitarian contribution to Palestine has been very important instrengthening and upliftingPalestinians’ spirits.
He said Malaysia wasone of theleading members of the Organisation for Islamic Cooperation (OIC) who had continuously contributedtoPalestiniancivil society and the education and health sectors.
“If the MalaysianNGOs stop their efforts, Palestinians will be affected heavily in the Gaza strip,” he added.
Muslimstressed that the allegation that donations raised by Malaysian NGOshad failed to reachPalestine was a false claim which had already been refuted by the Malaysian authorities, NGOs andfinancial monitoring bodies last year. — Bernama.
