KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 28 (Bernama) -- Cambodian Muslims are in dire need of copies of the Quran as they are hard to get in Cambodia and often stolen from mosques and suraus, said Cambodian mufti Kamaruddin Yusof.This made preaching and protecting the sanctity of Islam difficult, he told reporters after calling on Deputy Information Minister Datuk Ahmad Zahid Hamidi at his office here today.
Kamaruddin added that the Cambodian Islamic Supreme Council was also developing an Islamic education system to assist about 500,000 Muslims in the country to improve their standard of living.
Ahmad Zahid, who is also Dewan Amal Islam Hadhari (Damai) chairman, said he believed Malaysia could help meet the needs of Cambodian Muslims, who required at least 200,000 copies of the Quran.
Towards this end, Damai had so far collected RM200,000 through its Wakaf Al-Quran programme, which had received donations even from Singaporeans, he said, adding that the donation drive would be extended until two weeks after Aidilfitri.
The public wishing to donate can call Damai's secretariat at 03-26971868/67/69.

for how long should you guys repeatedly asking for Quran and some other stuff? It has been years of funds and thousands of Quran received by you guys. You guys potray yourself as being victimised because you are a minority. Actually you guys are making donor countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei your victim. When you guys are abroad, you talked bad things of other muslim in your country, an act or hiding your own deeds and doings. HOW MANY QURANS DO YOU WANT? One for each person? eVEN IN mLAYSIA SOME HOUSES ONLY HAVE ONE. i know, the extra, you will sell it to your people like you have done befor. You guys are always asking, never want to work. And Mufti, please do a better job. Don't take sides. Don't get involve in Cambodian or Malaysian politics. Your responsibility is taking care of Islamic welfare, not campaigning for selected individuals. May God have mercy on you as you disgrace the muslim community.
