McDonald's Malaysia Official Handover Ceremony of Corporate Zakat to Zakat Melaka - Majlis Agama Islam Melaka (MAIM)


Hey All 💛

Honouring and praising with all due appreciation and gratefulness for this year’s business development, McDonald's Malaysia has once again helped communities in Melaka by presenting their corporate zakat amounting to RM180,000 to Zakat Melaka – Majlis Agama Islam Melaka (MAIM), recently on 17 May 2022 at Kompleks Anak Yatim Fatimah Al-Zaharah in Bukit Katil.



So why does one need to pay Zakat? Here's a little information for you.

What is Zakat and why is it important?

As one of the pillars of Islam, a Zakat is a form of obligatory charity that has the potential to ease the suffering of millions. It relates to cleanliness, growth, blessing and praise. This form of charity helps to purify your wealth, increases blessings in your life and gains you much reward. Zakat is an obligatory tax on every Muslim designed to help the poor and empower communities. With the literal meaning of the word being 'to cleanse,' Muslims believe that paying zakat purifies, increases and blesses the remainder of their wealth

You must know that McDonald's Malaysia is now owned by Muslim shareholders and investors, and as a fully Muslim-owned company, McDonald’s Malaysia is committed to fulfilling its responsibilities to contribute to its annual corporate zakat.

McDonald’s Malaysia is also an organisation that greatly cares about the underprivileged and orphanage communities.


For this time around, the corporate zakat payment for 2022, which totals up to RM180,000 is the highest amount paid to Zakat Melaka since McDonald’s Malaysia began contributing their corporate zakat in 2017. The funds will be channelled back to the underprivileged and needful communities in Melaka.



This corporate zakat presentation ceremony was attended by the honourable YBhg. Datuk Haji Ibrahim bin Haji Fadzil, Chief Executive Officer, Zakat Melaka, Pn. Shakina binti Mohd Said, Head of Zakat, Majlis Agama Islam Melaka, Pn. Arina Saffura binti Alim, Head of Human Development, Majlis Agama Islam Melaka, and En. Azhar Darbi, Vice President of Human Resources and Chairman of the Internal Halal Committee, McDonald’s Malaysia.


The presentation of corporate zakat to Zakat Melaka (MAIM) is the sixth state in which McDonald’s Malaysia has presented its corporate zakat for the year 2022.

As of 2022, McDonald’s Malaysia has contributed a total of RM9.85 million in corporate zakat, since the organisation started contributing their corporate zakat back in 2017.



Not only that, but McDonald’s Malaysia also held a small Hari Raya celebration and gave away duit raya to the orphans living at the Kompleks Anak Yatim Fatimah Al-Zaharah. Looking at the children's smiles really touched my heart.


Alhamdulillah. Thank you McDonald's Malaysia for successfully contributing various benefits to all Malaysians. I am so grateful to be able to attend this very meaningful event. Hopefully, McDonald's Malaysia continues to progress and help the underprivileged in the future.
