The Islamic Council of the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur has set up a Zakat Collection Centre (PPZ) having a corporate style management combined with computerised collection system, proactive marketing and customer-oriented approaches.

In early of 1991, the Federal Territory Islamic Religious Council had established a subsidiary company known as Hartasuci Sdn. Bhd., also known as Zakat Collection Centre.

While the responsibility of the Zakat Collection Centre is to collect zakat on mal & self for the Federal Territory Religious Council, while the distribution of zakat is still being done by the Federal Territory Baitulmal.

Therefore in 1990, a proposal made by Y. Bhg. Dato’ Haji Abdul Rahim bin Abu Bakar to Y. B. Tan Sri Dato’ Dr. Mohd Yusof Noor was well received to try out a new system and structure of establishing a new Zakat Collection Centre.

A study done by a consultant (PricewaterhouseCoopers) had summarised the following findings to be implemented by the Federal Territory Religious Council.

- The first was to adopt a corporate method and structure as a way to collect zakat.
- The Second was to set up an office specifically for zakat i.e. Zakat Collection Centre that is separated from other activities of the Federal Territory Islamic Religious Department.
- And the third to fully utilise computer technology in all zakat collection transactions.
Since its inception the Zakat Collection Centre has experienced many changes and improvements in its administration by passing bureaucratic procedures and a customer oriented approach as well as a pro-active approach in tackling customers complaints.

Zakat Collection Centre was officially open by the Honourable Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamed on 8th March 1991 by being the first zakat office to operate in a new corporate style.
