Kedah padi farmers paid only 10% of tithe due, says MB

 

Kedah menteri besar Sanusi Md Nor said the RM51.5 million tithe amount was based on the 100,000ha of padi fields in the Muda Agricultural Development Authority area.

ALOR SETAR: The Kedah Tithe Board (LZNK) collected only RM5.3 million in padi tithe last year instead of the expected RM51.5 million.

Kedah menteri besar Sanusi Md Nor said the amount was based on more than 100,000ha of padi fields in the Muda Agricultural Development Authority area.

“Based on the calculations made by LZNK, it should have collected RM51.5 million in padi tithe. But only 10% of the total amount was collected,” he said after attending a zakat distribution ceremony.

Sanusi said he was disappointed that the padi tithe collection was only between RM4 and RM5 million each year.

He said the community’s awareness of the obligation to pay tithe was still low.

“I think there has been a loophole in the payment of the tithe and this has caused Muslims to lose one of their sources of wealth, which is the tithe,” he said urging all Muslims in Kedah to pay their tithe. - FMT
