KLANG, AUG 17: The Flea Market Day Programme (Pasalewa) with its ‘Donate to Charity’ concept to mosques around Klang has received good response from locals.
Klang Municipal Council (MPK) Yang Di Pertua Datuk Mohamad Yasid Bidin said that the MPK sponsored programme, with the cooperation of the Islamic District Office (PAID), aims to encourage a charitable society by donating used but useable items directly to mosques through waqaf.
He said the proceeds from sales will be donated to the mosque and a various assortment of items were successfully collected, including clothes, bags, shoes and toys.
“This programme will be expanded in the future because it benefits donors and mosques besides being a platform that encourages a charitable society.
“Cooperation from PAID and mosques have helped to ensure the success of this charitable effort and it will be expanded to other mosques soon,” he said in a statement.
