The 4th National Inter-University Al-Quran Recitation Competition received a boost when CIMB Islamic contributed RM100,000 as a commitment to being the “Knowledge Partner” of the annual competition.
Organized by YPIM (Malaysia’s Muslim Student Foundation), the highly acclaimed competition serves as a platform to discover talent in Quranic recitation among university students. It also aims to uplift the standard of civil society through education, in line with CIMB Group’s overall corporate responsibility’s investment in driving the transformation towards a knowledge-based economy.
The competition saw students from various universities nationwide battle it out for the title of Champion Reciter in the male and female categories respectively. The champions will each receive the newly introduced CIMB Islamic Challenge Trophy.
Themed “Al-Quran Penunjuk Jalan, Cahaya Keimanan”, the competition was judged by a panel of jury from Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia and intellectuals from various higher learning institutions.
