Universiti Malaysia Kelantan (UMK) has launched the Emergency Fund for Palestine initiative and aims to raise RM20,000 in donations. Vice-chancellor Prof Datuk Dr Razli Che Razak is confident that they will achieve their target as they have already collected RM10,000 within a week. The donations were made through QR code payment, which contributed a significant amount to the fund. UMK plans to continue collecting contributions for another week during their convocation ceremony, with an expected attendance of 10,000 parents and graduates. The funds will be handed over to the Higher Education Ministry, who will distribute them to recognized non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and send them to Palestine.
During the launch of the Solidarity Programme for Palestine at UMK Bachok Campus, Razli stated that similar programs were conducted at UMK branches in Jeli and Pengkalan Chepa to raise awareness about the Palestinian people’s struggle in Gaza. The event was attended by 300 students and over 100 university staff.
Razli Che Razak expressed his gratitude for the generous contributions received so far and urged more individuals to support the cause. The initiative aims to provide assistance to the people of Palestine, who are facing challenging circumstances.
The Emergency Fund for Palestine initiative at UMK has gained momentum in a short period. The use of QR code payment has made it convenient for individuals to contribute to the cause. The university plans to leverage the upcoming convocation ceremonies to further increase the fund’s size before its distribution.
The fund will ultimately be sent to recognized NGOs to ensure proper distribution to those in need. UMK believes that collective efforts will make a significant impact in alleviating the hardships faced by the Palestinian people.
UMK has been actively involved in various humanitarian initiatives, and this fund for Palestine is one of their latest endeavors. The university hopes that students and staff will continue to support such programs, fostering a sense of empathy and compassion towards those facing adversity.
The solidarity program conducted at UMK branches has successfully raised awareness about the ongoing struggles in Palestine. By organizing events and initiatives, UMK aims to educate its community about global issues and encourage them to take action.
Razli Che Razak believes that through the Emergency Fund for Palestine initiative, UMK can contribute significantly to improving the lives of the Palestinian people. The university’s commitment to this cause demonstrates its dedication to making a positive impact beyond the boundaries of the campus.
The Emergency Fund for Palestine initiative has received an overwhelming response from the UMK community and beyond.
