KUALA LUMPUR, July 31 (Bernama) -- Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi tonight joined over 1,500 people at the Malam Mega Selawat held in conjunction with the 2025 Mega 3D Carnival (MK3D) at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC) here.

Ahmad Zahid, who arrived at about 9 pm, was accompanied by Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek, Felda director-general Datuk Dr Suzana Idayu Wati Osman, and National Settlers head Sulong Jamil Mohamed Shariff.

Organised by Waqaf Felda, the event began with prayers, followed by qasidah and selawat by artistes including Datuk Nash, Khai Bahar, Ezad Lazim, INTEAM, Lah Ahmad, and Azan Addin. The night also featured a religious lecture.

The Malam Mega Selawat was part of the MK3D programme, which combines three main initiatives: the Rural Entrepreneurs Carnival (KUD) under the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development, Felda Settlers Day, and the One District One Industry (SDSI) Showcase under the Ministry of Entrepreneur and Cooperatives Development (KUSKOP).

This joint approach, held for the first time from yesterday (July 30) until this Sunday, not only optimises resources and avoids duplication of programmes but also reduces government expenditure while providing a comprehensive experience for visitors and investors.

During the programme, Ahmad Zahid, who is also Minister of Rural and Regional Development, launched the Takaful Berkat Afiat initiative to strengthen welfare support for the Felda community.

He also witnessed the handing over of business tithe contributions from five Felda subsidiaries to the Federal Territories Islamic Religious Council’s Zakat Collection Centre (PPZ-MAIWP) for 2025.

These contributions will be distributed to asnaf in the Federal Territories through initiatives such as monthly yasin recitations at mosques and the ‘Ziarah Kasih Asnaf’ to selected People’s Housing Projects (PPR).

The five subsidiaries are Koperasi Permodalan Felda (KPF), Koperasi Generasi Felda Baharu (KGFB), Koperasi Kakitangan Felda Malaysia Berhad (FELKOP), Koperasi Pekerja Felda Malaysia Berhad (KOGUNA) and FGV Holdings Bhd (FGV).

Ahmad Zahid also witnessed the handover of two hearses sponsored by FGV to representatives of Felda Triang 1 in Mempaga and Felda Sungai Rentang in Jengka.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is expected to launch the carnival on Saturday.
