Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor said the delay is due to several unforeseen circumstances.

"The chairmen and secretaries of the MKK and mosque officials comprising imam, bilal and siak will also receive an additional RM100, taking the total amount they will each receive to RM300,” he said after the executive council meeting at Wisma Darul Aman, here, today.

On April 12, the Kedah government announced a special Aidilfitri assistance of RM200 to 3,924 recipients, comprising chairmen and secretaries of MKK as well as mosque officials in the state.

The aid was supposed to have been paid directly into the recipients’ accounts on April 18, involving an allocation of RM784,800, whereby the 772 MKK chairmen, 766 MKK secretaries and 2,386 mosque officials will each receive RM200. - BERNAMA
