Dr. Ridzwan Bakar, an academic staff of Faculty of Management (FOM) has been appointed as Lead Facilitator and Subject Matter Expert in developing public policy pertaining to waqf development, accounting and taxation. A two-day workshop was held in August 2018 at The Katerina Hotel, Johor. The workshop was organised by Department of Wakaf, Zakat and Hajj (JAWHAR) of Prime Minister Department, and it was attended by senior officers from Inland Revenue (LHDN), Ministry of Finance (MOF), State Religious Council (MAIN), JAWHAR and university professor.
