IPOH: Majlis Amanah Rakyat (Mara) has adopted two children who lost their father in a tragic road accident in Klang, Selangor, recently as foster children under Yayasan Pelajaran Mara.
"A monthly allowance of RM120 each will be provided at the primary school level and increased to RM150 when they enter secondary school, along with continuous monitoring until they complete their schooling," said Mara chairman, Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki in a Facebook post on Tuesday (March 31).
He also expressed his gratitude to Larut Umno Division chief Datuk Mohammad Daud Mohd Yusoff and the foundation chief executive officer Faisalludin Mohamat Yusuff, who represented him earlier today in visiting and extending assistance to the victim's family.
He also conveyed words of encouragement to Muhammad Aqif Amsyar, nine, and Muhammad Afif Izz Rayqal, seven, sons of Amirul Hafiz Omar, 33, urging them to remain strong and resilient and to study diligently.
Asyraf Wajdi said he had a video call with the victim's mother, Faridah Ahmad, 56, which was also shared on Facebook, while the victim's widow, Nor Nadia Abdul Majid, 32, was out handling matters related to the deceased.
"This loss is not just the loss of a person, but the loss of a pillar of support for young children," he said. – Bernama
