KUALA LUMPUR, July 2 (Bernama) -- Takaful Ikhlas Family Bhd (Takaful IKHLAS) and Majlis Agama Islam dan Adat Melayu Perak (MAIPk) have inked a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to collaborate in managing and developing wakaf programmes.

The MOU was signed by Takaful IKHLAS president and chief executive officer (CEO) Muhammad Fikri Mohamad Rawi and MAIPk CEO Shahrul Azam Shaari in Ipoh, Perak yesterday.
