Minister in the Prime Minister's Department, Maj Gen (Rtd) Datuk Seri Jamil Khir Baharom, said the construction of a hotel in Melaka has started and was expected to be completed by this September.
"When completed, the management of these hotels will be handed over the hotel to the state's Majlis Agama Islam," he told reporters after witnessing the the signing of a memorandum of understanding between YWM and Amanah Raya Bhd's (ARB) subsidiary, AmanahRaya Legacy Services Sdn Bhd (ALS), here today.
He said YWM's 'Small Projects with Big Impact' programme, comprising building of wakaf markets and people''s bazaars in the mosques and selected wakaf land nationwide, would be ready by year-end.
"They would also be handed over the respective state's Majlis Agama Islam upon completion," he said.
The minister said YWM has also launched Cash Wakaf Scheme via salary deductions.
The scheme, he said, would initially be for civil servants in the Klang Valley.
Meanwhile, ARB chairman, Datuk Dusuki Ahmad, said the MOU would offer Muslims an alternative solution to contribute to charities.
"ALS will manage the properties productively and will arrange for transfer to YWM for the benefit of the needy Muslims," he said. -- Bernama

Finding hotels cheap has been a desire several times for us, a little splurge for a night or two never goes astray after a while.
