“All sacrificial animals will be distributed by state assemblymen, state constituency coordinators, and Jais representatives. The programme will be officially launched on May 18 by the Menteri Besar,” he said at a press conference yesterday.
Izham added that 25 companies have been selected to supply cows, while another 25 companies will provide goats for the programme.
“The supplier selection process was conducted through a work ballot on March 20,” he said.
Last year, the state government allocated the same amount for the ibadah korban contribution in conjunction with Aidiladha.
