People are advised to be wary of quarters collecting donations using the name of Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Razif Abd Rahman.

In a statement issued by Ahmad Razif's political secretary, Assoc Prof Dr Mohd Rozailan Mamat, the donation was allegedly collected in conjunction with a charity dinner.

"We also want to emphasise that the Menteri Besar's Office has never given any approval or permission to any individual, association or society to use the good name of the Menteri Besar of Terengganu to collect donations.

"We regret the abuse of the good name of the Menteri Besar in seeking donations and advise the public not to be deceived and to liaise with Menteri Besar's office if there is any doubt," the statement said.
