KUCHING: Sarawak Islamic Council (MIS) has fixed the rate of religious tithe for Muslims in the state this year at RM7 per person.

The rate was fixed based on the average value of various types of rice consumed by the Muslim community in the state.

Tabung Baitumal Sarawak (TBS) general manager Datuk Abang Mohd Shibli Abang Mohd Nailie said this in a press statement issued yesterday.

He said payment of individual tithe including that of their dependents should be made only to Zakat collectors authorised by MIS or at the nearest TBS counters.

He also urged Muslims who had fulfilled the obligation of property tithes to settle their dues either at TBS counters or through TBS authorised agents such as RHB Bank, CIMB Islamic Berhad, Ambank, Public Bank, Agro Bank, Bank Islam, Bank Rakyat, Bank Muamalat, Maybank, HSBC Bank and Pos Malaysia statewide.
