CRITIQUE

MBSB Bank Bhd has signed an agreement with Maybank


Investment Bank Bhd (Maybank IB) for the establishment of the
Sukuk Wakalah Kelestarian Program worth RM5 billion, which is
the key idea and what the author wishes to express.

Important and interesting things: Malaysian Rating Corp Bhd has assigned an initial A+IS
rating to the wakalah sukuk scheme, which will run
indefinitely.
The proceeds from this programme will be utilised to fund
or refinance qualified future or existing shariah-compliant
financing, including building and development projects, in
part or in whole.
The bank's Sustainability Sukuk programme allows it to expand its
sustainable generation
assets, such as lending in green initiatives, affordable housing, public health, education, small
and medium business finance, and underprivileged segments.
Investors can diversify their portfolios through the wakalah sukuk scheme
The intention of the author:

attract the attention of the public to join the programme organised under Islamic
banking.

The author intends to disclose to the public Islamic banking information as well as

the Ages
attract the attention of the public to join the programme organised under Islamic
banking. I agree with the author who gave exposure to Islamic banking to the
public. This can attract people to join in Islamic banking as well as make Islamic
banking a bank that is not only open to Muslims but also open to various religions

The rate of penetration into the Muslim consumer market can be increased.
The majority of deposits at Islamic banks are still made by non-Muslims, which
is understandable given that Muslims in Malaysia have other primary (non-
banking) channels to store or park their money. The existence of these outlets
has provided Muslims in Malaysia with numerous viable options.
The necessity to improve service delivery stems from the need to adhere to
Shariah regulations throughout implementation. As a result, greater work on
balancing the delivery of seamless service while adhering to Shariah criteria is
required.
The rise and mainstreaming of Islamic finance were aided by public policy and political will. Malaysia
provided legislation, rules, fiscal advantages, infrastructure, and other overt demand stimuli as part of the
Malaysian Islamic Financial Center (MIFC) project to create a suitable climate for the incubation and
subsequent rapid growth of Islamic banking.
