Minister Masagos looks back on 2018

Masagos Zulkifli, Singapore Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs, has listed milestones for the Malay/Muslim community in 2018.

In a post on his Facebook page, he said, "We celebrated key achievements such as Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS) golden jubilee, the steady educational progress of our children led by MENDAKI Singapore, and a stronger People's Association Malay Activity Executive Committees Council (MESRA).

"Since I announced the M³ framework in May, I know many parties have been working very hard to galvanise resources and shape initiatives to uplift our community both individually or as part of M³ initiatives."

The framework refers to a partnership between MUIS, self-help group Mendaki and MESRA to better the lives of the Malay/Muslim community and keep divisive teachings at bay. "M³ will need time to develop but I am confident that our collective wisdom and sincere effort to strengthen our community, especially vulnerable families, will bear fruit, in sha Allah," he said.
