      Shares bought for trading or that are short-term in
      nature should be paid zakat at the rate of 2.5% of the
      current market value in ownership.

                   Note 6
       - Related costs        ] x 2.5%
       = [RM84,000.00 + RM5,000.00 - RM350.00] x 2.5%
       = RM88,650.00* x 2.5%
       = RM2,216.25
