Investigation into Aman Palestin's Fundraising Activities Continues Amidst Allegations of Irregularities

The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is actively investigating Aman Palestin Berhad concerning purported irregularities in its fundraising operations. The investigation, which is solely focused on Aman Palestin, is examining documentation from the organisation, particularly records spanning from 2020 to 2022. To date, no witnesses have been formally interviewed as part of this inquiry.
Perlis Mufti Raised Transparency Concerns

Concerns regarding Aman Palestin's fund management were previously voiced by the Perlis Mufti, Datuk Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin. In a letter dated August 24, he instructed the Perlis State Islamic Religious Affairs Department (JAIPs) to cease permitting Aman Palestin from collecting funds within places of worship and related religious premises. The Mufti had expressed reservations about the transparency of both the collection and distribution of funds by the organisation.
Fund Collections Suspended in Perlis

Following these concerns, the Perlis state religious authority took action to suspend Aman Palestin's fundraising activities within the state. This suspension became effective on October 12 and is in place pending the conclusion of the ongoing probe into the organisation's practices.
MACC Focuses Solely on Aman Palestin

When questioned about the possibility of other non-governmental organisations (NGOs) facing similar investigations related to Palestine donation drives, the MACC chief commissioner, Tan Sri Azam Baki, clarified that the current inquiry is specifically and exclusively targeting Aman Palestin Berhad. No other NGOs are under investigation for irregularities in their Palestine donation drives at this time.
