KUCHING, Feb 13 (Bernama) -- Bank Muamalat Malaysia Berhad (Bank Muamalat) and Koperasi Harapan Sarawak Berhad (KOHAB) have partnered to empower civil servants in Sarawak with financial literacy and greater access to Shariah-compliant banking solutions.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed today at Hilton Hotel, Kuching, marking a significant step toward promoting responsible financial management among government employees. Through this collaboration, Bank Muamalat will provide free financial education and advisory services under its Smart Financial Program, alongside tailored Islamic banking solutions.

KOHAB, led by the Sarawak State Accounting Department, plays a key role in supporting civil servants by managing salary deductions for financing payments.

Together, we aim to ensure that civil servants in Sarawak receive the best financial education and advisory services, empowering them to make informed financial decisions. This initiative aligns with the Malaysian government’s financial inclusion agenda, emphasizing the importance of financial literacy among public servants. By integrating structured financial education with accessible Islamic banking solutions, we are reinforcing our commitment to responsible banking while expanding our reach among civil servants."
