Recently, the key statistic of household income & expenditure 2016, shows that the growth of poverty alleviation development program in Malaysia have improved by just 2% consequently because, there are large percentage of citizens who are financially excluded in accessing loans and benefits from banks and Takaful operators. These categories are either unemployed, aged or handicapped citizens which the temporary waqf can easily cater for. However, the Association of Valuers, (PEPS) of Malaysia have concurred with Bank Negara that unutilized properties within Malaysia is estimated as RM35.5bilions. These properties could have been employed for basic social financing among the financially excluded citizens.
