Puchong MP allocates RM87,000 to mosques for RamadanThe money will be given to 40 suraus and 12 mosques, with each receiving RM1,500 and RM2,000 respectively. Yes. This is the correct way to assist the needed. Not appearing in the mosque & with mic on the hand talking,. DAP need to be consistent and smart in their actions. Pls YB, ensure tht you do not go into the mosque, then like in Johor, some will claim Islam tergugat again... Rather than distributing cash it will be better to do so in kind. This will avoid misuse of funds. Otherwise please have check and balance to ensure no misuse of taxpayer’s funds. Not specifically in this case but in all cases of cash distribution. For all Rakyat M’sia taxpayers.
