KOTA BHARU, 28 Mei: Kelantan Golden Trade (KGT) mensasarkan 20,000 peniaga yang berminat menerima urusniaga Dinar dan Dirham bagi menyemarakkan penggunaan mata wang syariah.
Pengarah Eksekutif KGT Nik Mahani Mohamad berkata, tindakan proaktif itu bagi mempopularkan semula penggunaan mata wang syariah di kalangan umat Islam.
“Untuk 2011 kami target pendaftaran 20,000 kedai termasuk kedai kepunyaan non-muslim yang sedia menerima Dinar dan Dirham sebagai mata wang syariah.
“Dan diharap ia menjadi pencetus kepada pembayaran gaji kakitangan kerajaan, pembayaran zakat dan aktiviti jual beli rakyat menggunakan Dinar dan Dirham” katanya pada persidangan media sempena Kempen Dinar Emas Kelantan 2011 di sebuah hotel di sini semalam.
Turut hadir Ketua Pegawai Operasi KGT, Umar Ibrahim Vadillo. Sekarang lebih 2,000 pekedai berdaftar dengan KGT di seluruh Malaysia.
Nik Mahani juga berkata, KGT kini berusaha menyemarakkan lagi penggunaan mata wang syariah, di mana telah dimulakan kempen sejak dua bulan lalu di Kuala Lumpur.
“Di samping mendekati rakyat, program itu juga dilaksanakan sempena pelancaran Projek Printis Pasar Terbuka Pasar Besar Siti Khadijah di Kelantan,” ujarnya.
KGT juga melancarkan Khidmat Sistem Pesanan Ringkas (SMS) bagi memudahkan pengguna mengetahui harga harian Dinar dan Dirham pada sepanjang tahun.
Selain itu KGT turut menyertai Karnival Halal Kelantan 2011 yang akan dirasmikan Tengku Mahkota Kelantan pada 29 Mei di Balai Islam.

Utah Legalizes Gold, Silver as Currency, More States to Follow?
Utah has now made official the use of gold and silver coins as legal tender.
This marks the first time since 1971 that any government entity in the United States has legalized the use of gold and silver as currency.
The law, signed by Governor Gary Herbert, does not require citizens to pay or accept payment in gold or silver, but rather offers an alternative to the fiat-based Federal Reserve note.
The Utah law will also exempt the sale of gold and silver coins from state capital gains taxes, according to the Associated Press.
The idea was developed by Republican state Representative Brad Galvez, who sponsored the bill primarily as a protest against the reckless monetary policies of the Federal Reserve. Rep. Galvez stated that the American people are losing faith in the dollar and a sound monetary alternative is necessary.
“We’re too far down the road to go back to the gold standard,” Galvez contended. “This will move us toward an alternative currency.”
Larry Hilton, a Utah attorney who assisted in the drafting of Utah’s law, asserted that “We view this as a dollar-friendly measure. It will strengthen the dollar by refocusing policy matters in Washington on what led to the phrase, ‘the dollar is as good as gold.’”
Ralph Danker, project director for economics at American Principles in Action in Washington, D.C., which also helped draft Utah’s legislation, stated that ”Making gold and silver coins legal tender sends a strong signal to Congress and the Federal Reserve that their monetary policy is failing. The dollar should be backed by gold and silver, so we have hard money.”
The AP also noted that “Earlier this month, Minnesota took a step closer to joining Utah in making gold and silver legal tender. A Republican lawmaker there introduced a bill that sets up a special committee to explore the option. North Carolina, Idaho and at least nine other states also have similar bills drafted.”
