KUALA LUMPUR, March 19 (Bernama) -- Tan Sri Azman Hashim, Trustee, Azman Hashim Foundation visited the International Institute of Islamic Civilisation and Malay World (ISTAC), at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) KL Campus on Friday, 16 March 2018.
 
The visit was in conjunction with the naming of the two components of the Campus - the Azman Hashim Courtyard and Masjid Zabedah in recognition of his commitment and support towards the University, through the IIUM Perpetual Endowment Property Fund programme. He was accompanied by Tan Sri Dr. Rais Yatim, President of IIUM and Prof. Dato’ Sri Dr. Zaleha Kamaruddin, Rector of IIUM for the visit.
 
Tan Sri Azman had previously in 2008 participated in the IIUM Perpetual Endowment Property Fund for the Azman Hashim Complex at IIUM Gombak Campus with a contribution of RM7 million. Through this programme, so far a total of 40 University students have been sponsored with the Azman Hashim – IIUM Ummatic Scholarship using the funds derived from the net rental proceeds from the building. The programme is managed by the fund raising division of the University - IIUM Endowment Fund (IEF).
 
With the success of the first project, Tan Sri Azman recently committed another contribution of RM5 million for the University, for a similar programme at IIUM KL Campus. The contribution received will be mainly used for the Students’ Perpetual Scholarship and Research Endowment Programmes while a portion is reserved for the refurbishment of IIUM KL Campus with priority given to the Azman Hashim Courtyard and Masjid Zabedah.
 
Tan Sri Azman, during the visit also signed the plaque at Masjid Zabedah. He and Tan Sri Rais later performed the Friday Prayers at Masjid Zabedah with the other guests.
