Malacca man did not steal to fund mum's dialysis, says MAIM


MELAKA: Media reports that a man jailed and fined two days ago for stealing Milo from an Ayer Keroh supermarket did so to cover his mother’s dialysis treatment costs are not true, says the Melaka Islamic Religious Council (MAIM).

Its deputy chairman Datuk Rahmad Mariman said the Merlimau branch zakat distribution squad visited the mother's home in Kampung Berangan Enam and found that the elderly woman, who has a urinary disease, does not need dialysis treatment.
