LUNDU: The Jaznan Foundation will be donating the pension funds of the late Pehin Sri Adenan Satem, or fondly known as Tok Nan, to the needy (asnaf) students of Tanjong Datu constituency every year before the beginning of Ramadan month.
According to Tanjong Datu assemblyman Azizul Annuar Adenan, who is also the son of Tok Nan, this generous act will enable those students to celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri with their families as well as buy school supplies when the new academic session starts.
He said this at the presentation ceremony of donations for mosques and suraus as well as the donation presentation for asnaf students of N3 Tanjong Datu at Masjid Pehin Sri Haji Adenan Haji Adenan yesterday (March 18).
Azizul said a total of 50 students, 26 mosques, and 18 suraus will receive the donations from them, while four settlements will receive donations from Lembaga Amanah Penyu.
Each mosque and surau will get RM800 and RM500, respectively.
In addition, the Tanjong Datu assemblyman would give an additional RM300 for each surau through his own donation, giving each surau a total of RM800.
He hoped that the beneficiaries would use the donations wisely, using them for things like breaking fasts and other Ramadan-related activities.
In the meantime, Azizul also thanked Santubong former Member of Parliament Datuk Seri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar for donating the Surah Yasin book in honour of his wife, the late Datin Seri Fiona Norjanah Sim Abdullah, who passed away on May 27, 2022.
Also present were Lembaga Amanah Penyu secretary Nur Anisa Abdullah, Lundu district officer representative Mohd Isa Lemon, Tanjong Datu Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) Women’s wing chief Counsellor Fatimah Abdullah, and Tanjong Datu PBB Youth wing chief Mohd Rhadzie Kassim.
