Muhammadiyah, through its central leadership (PP), is planning to\nestablish a partnership with the Founder and Chairman of CT Corp,\nChairul Tanjung (CT), to optimise the use of the organisation\u2019s waqf\nland, making it more productive and impactful in strengthening the\neconomic well-being of the community.<\/p>\n
The Chairman of PP Muhammadiyah, Anwar Abbas, stated that much of\nMuhammadiyah\u2019s waqf land is not being managed to its full potential.\nAccording to him, CT sees this as an economic opportunity that can be\ndeveloped.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is still a lot of Muhammadiyah\u2019s waqf land that has not been\nmanaged and made productive. Mr.\u00a0CT saw this as an economic\nopportunity,\u201d Anwar told reporters after a Ramadan lecture at the\nMuhammadiyah University of Tangerang, Banten, on Thursday (26\/2).<\/p>\n
Anwar believes that CT has the capacity and extensive experience in\nthe business world to help Muhammadiyah develop its economic sector. He\nhopes that this collaboration can address the organisation\u2019s needs in\nmaximising its assets.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr.\u00a0CT, as someone who is experienced in the business world, is\ncertainly expected to play a role in helping Muhammadiyah achieve its\ngoals,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He explained that not all of the waqf land can be used for building\nschools or mosques. Therefore, some of the land needs to be used for\nproductive activities such as agriculture, animal husbandry, and\nfisheries to provide added value for the wider community.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is not possible to use all of it for schools, nor is it possible\nto use all of it for mosques. Some of it should be used for productive\npurposes, for agriculture, fisheries, and animal husbandry,\u201d said Anwar,\nwho also heads the economic division at PP Muhammadiyah.<\/p>\n
Anwar hopes that the management of the waqf land will also support\nthe government\u2019s Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) programme, including\nbecoming a supplier for the Nutrition Service Units (SPPG).<\/p>\n
\u201cHow about managing the waqf land so that it can supply the needs, so\nthat the prices obtained by the SPPG are cheaper and the food for\nchildren is much more nutritious,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He believes that the quality of food in the programme still needs to\nbe improved to truly meet the expected nutritional standards.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Founder and Chairman of CT Corp, Chairul Tanjung,\nwelcomed the planned collaboration. He believes that Muhammadiyah has a\nlarge network of schools and hospitals, which has the potential to\ncreate an economic ecosystem that supports each other.<\/p>\n
\u201cMuhammadiyah has an extraordinary network of schools and hospitals.\nImagine if all of its operational needs were supplied by our own Muslim\nentrepreneurs. How much money could we keep circulating,\u201d said CT.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/muhammadiyah-partners-with-ct-corp-to-optimise-the-use-of-waqf-land-1772161270", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
