‘This is my contribution to the kampung I grew up in’ – Janna Nick

KUALA LUMPUR: Well-known actress Janna Nick’s is making an attempt to give back to the community where she spent her early years because she doesn’t want to forget her origins.

“I grew up and lived in that kampung before. Thus, in addition to wanting to assist, I also extend an invitation to my fans to fully engage and contribute,” she stated in a Harian Metro article from yesterday.

Under the real name Nurul Jannah Muner, the 29-year-old artist made this statement regarding the construction of the Nurul Jannah Tahfiz & Orphanage Complex at Kampung Bukit Kechil Mosque in Simpor, Kedah.

She clarified that all public donations went straight into the mosque’s account.

“Up until I was in Form Three, I lived there from the age of 11. Actually, the majority of my relatives and my grandparents are from that area.

It’s true that the majority of my relatives and my grandparents come from there.Since I’ve been out of the kampung since 2022, this is my initiative. I do not claim any credit for this endeavour; in my opinion, the people, the mosque, and the other parties made this effort.”

I do not claim any credit for it.I utilise social media channels as a result to spread the news, encourage people to donate to charities, and encourage goodness.

“All donations go directly to the mosque’s account,” she added.

Part of the funds donated had already been utilised to construct a dining hall for tahfiz students, but Janna claims that the remaining gifts were also utilised to upgrade the mosque.

“The purpose of the hall is actually to help the mosque staff earn additional revenue that will go towards the construction of the tahfiz complex.”

“The people of the mosque there, if there is any event, they don’t use the donation money but they do something to generate other forms of income, for example, they make kerisik and sell them,” she continued.
