Al-Bukhary did not forget his responsibility to help his Muslim brethrens even
he enjoys the success of being the nation’s number one bumiputera conglomerate
figure. As for this purpose, the Yayasan
Al-Bukhary was established in March 1996 to help the poor people, particularly
in the area of education. Until today,
Yayasan Al-Bukhary has spent more RM300 millions for religious, cultural and
educational activities. The foundation
does not only provide aid to people in this country, but also for the countries
that are members in the organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC).
Yayasan Al-Bukhary
Among the
biggest project ever conducted was the construction of the Kompleks Al-Bukhary
where costing RM400 million, which is located in Kedah. The complex is a centre which is complete
with facilities that provide mosque, medical centre, community centre, and
housing for orphans, a special academy of the elderly and an institution of
higher education.
This
foundation also created the International Islamic Arts Museum in Kuala Lumpur,
which was cost of RM100 million. This
four storey building is the first museum in Asia Pacific that showcases Islamic
work of art. Yayasan Al-Bukhary also
built 16 mosques all over the world. It
is totally impressed!
