He said the contributions were aimed at helping the families in funeral expenses, among others.
"We strongly condemn the incident... it is an act of terrorism. The families are very unfortunate," he added.
Mah was speaking to reporters after accompanying the four bodies of the victims at the Penang International Airport cargo complex in Bayan Lepas near George Town yesterday.
