Majlis Agama
Malaysia being a parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy has three tiers of government which are the Federal, State and Local Government. In the Development Administrative Circular, No 1 of 2011 (PKPA Bilangan 1 Tahun 2011) in the implementation of Standard Accounting of Government Agencies (SAGA), State Religious Councils were also included as part of the government initiative to streamline the financial and accounting system in the government sectors throughout the nation.
This is to ensure that the financial statements and other related financial outputs are accurate, timely and complete for all government stakeholders’ consumption. This will contribute to better planning and decision making and indirectly improve the delivery of public services to the citizens.
In Malaysia, there are 13 states and federal territories which make up the whole composition of Malaysia as a country. All these 13 states have their own State Islamic Religious Council, or locally known as Majlis Agama Islam Negeri (MAIN). The State Religious Council is the administrative function which is limited to the operations and activities related to zakat, waqf and baitulmal. Then, there is a Council who makes the policy, and this is what we refer as the Board.
