KUALA LUMPUR, April 16 (Bernama) -- The 'Majlis Muafakat Dakwah Malaysia-Kemboja' or MMDMK council will help to enhance the socio-economic status of Muslims in Cambodia by setting up several special institutions for the purpose.
MMDMK chairman, Datuk Mohd Nakhaie Ahmad said for a start the council will help the Selangor International Islamic College (KUIS) to open a campus branch in Cambodia which would be known as Cambodia Islamic College by the end of the year.
He said an organisation that functions like Tabung Haji would also be set up soon to help Muslims in that country to contribute and be able to perform the 'haj'.
Nakhaie said also given focus was having 'halal' certification for canned food from that country.
"Our efforts will be easier as the Cambodian government allows Muslim communities in other countries to aid Muslims there," he told reporters after receiving a 10-member delegation headed by the Cambodian Muslim Development body headed by Othsman Hasan who is also Cambodia's minister for vocation and labour.
Nakhaie said three memoranda of understanding on economics and education were signed.
Meanwhile, Othsman thanked Muslims in Malaysia for their continued support.
He said his organisation was trying to change the mentality of Muslims there, who were about 40 years behind Muslims here, so that they could easily respond to swift development.
"The Champa community which is still leaving on raft-houses will be moved to permament places to do farming and be more competitive.
"We will use all expertise, including in agriculture and fisheries, contributed by Malaysia and help Cambodian Muslims get out of poverty," he said.
The Muslim community is a minority group in Cambodia with about 700,000 people or four per cent of the population.

you see that!Only muslim! malaysia will help! See that Ah Sen! you better convert all your family! Hero Hun sen who promotes Muslim!
I respect our Cham Muslims and their religion. But we must avoid that they are too much influenced by rich muslim Countries. I saw some Cham women wearing not only veil but covering their face with black veil.
In the year 60's the Cambodian Champion in Natation was a Cham girl, named Ibrahim AZIZ. She weared swimming suite like any swimmer. She was a daughter of Mr Ibrahim, a Khmer- Islam general of the Royal army Force.
Great to have a that kind of College. But first they need to learn perfect Khmer language like other Khmer schools. I hope the older generation Khmer Cham brothers know, how to manage this educational institution.
We have had very nice dresses for the Khmer Champa, therefore we do need to dress like someone from the other part of the Arabic world.
Please be yourself.
11:24. I don't encourage Khmer Islam to dress like Arabs, because they are not arabs.
I want hem dressed like before in the year 60's.
Dressing like arabs will make them
" segregate" themselve from Cambodian people and will create clash between Cham and Khmer at5 Schools and villages. You will see that!
