The Singapore Mosques Korban Committee (Jawatankuasa Korban Masjid-Masjid Singapura or JKMS) has announced that 3,700 livestock will be made available and offered for qurban (korban) in 2019.
The Muslim community will be able to perform qurban at 26 mosques this year, with the price of each sheep for 2019 set at S$480, S$5 less than for 2018.
Registration for qurban 2019 is now open and will close on 26 July 2019, subject to availability on a first-come, first-served basis. Members of the public who wish to perform qurban can register their intent and submit their particulars at 26 mosques to order the livestock.
Members of the public can also check the availability of livestock via www.muslim.SG. Forms can also be downloaded from the website. Paper forms are available at all 26 mosques.
Big Foot Logistic has been appointed as the Approved Korban Vendor (AKV) for this year. It will be importing livestock from Australia, one of the source countries approved by the Singapore Food Agency (SFA).
JKMS continues to work with SFA and the Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS), a cluster of the National Parks Board, to explore suitable sources that meet Singapore’s standards of food safety as well as animal health and welfare.
Qurban will be conducted at centres that meet the requirements of Australia’s Exporter Supply Chain Assurance System (ESCAS) regulatory framework, which ensures livestock exported from Australia is treated in accordance to internationally accepted animal welfare standards. All qurban centres will adopt the same standard operating procedures for qurban operations, which includes transporting, handling and slaughtering of livestock.
ESCAS is a regulatory framework implemented by the Australian government in 2012 to ensure that livestock exported from Australia to different countries are treated in accordance to the World Organisation for Animal Health’s (OIE) internationally-accepted animal welfare standards. To comply, the Australian exporter must provide a report from an independent and internationally-accredited auditor to certify that livestock to be exported meet the standards required from the farm to the point of slaughter.

The community can perform qurban at 26 mosques this year. Two Malay/Muslim organisations are also offering Australian sheep in 2018. Eligible mosques meet the requirements of Australia’s Exporter Supply Chain Assurance System (ESCAS) regulatory framework.

All qurban centres will adopt the same standard operating procedures for qurban operations, which includes transporting, handling and slaughtering of livestock.
Each Australian sheep supplied by the approved qurban vendor (AKV) is set at S$485. Big Foot Logistic is the the AKV this year and will import livestock from AVA-approved sources from Australia. Big Foot won the tender to be the AKV for 2017 and 2018.

Singapore to import Australian sheep for qurban 2017
The Singapore Mosques Korban Committee (JKMS) has announced that a total of 3,700 livestock from Australia will be offered for qurban at 25 mosques islandwide for 2017.
The price of each sheep supplied by the approved korban vendor Big Foot Logistic is set at S$485, S$5 less than the price in 2016. All sheep come from imported from Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA)-approved sources from Australia. JKMS continues to work with the AVA to explore the most suitable sources that meet the highest criteria of Singapore’s food safety, animal health and veterinary public health standards.

Mini Environment Services (MES) has been appointed the Approved Korban Vendor (AKV) for 2016 after an open tender, JKMS added.
MES as the AKV explored opportunities to import from AVA-approved sources and proposed to import lamb from Ireland and sheep from Australia, which JKMS concluded is the most cost-effective and best possible option for qurban this year.
Each Australian sheep supplied by the Approved Korban Vendor (AKV) for 2016 is set at S$490, the same as in 2015. Lambs will cost S$556, S$14 less than in 2015. While Australia remains the primary source of livestock for qurban in Singapore, JKMS continues to work with the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) to explore alternative sources that meet the highest criteria of Singapore’s food safety, animal health and veterinary public health standards***.
Qurban using Australian sheep will be conducted at 13 mosques* that meet the requirements of Australia’s Exporter Supply Chain Assurance System (ESCAS)** regulatory framework. Irish lamb will be offered at the other 13 participating mosques. All qurban centres will adopt the same standard operating procedures for qurban operations, which includes transporting, handling and slaughtering of livestock, at all venues. These standards are in accordance with the World Organisation for Animal Health’s (OIE) internationally accepted animal welfare and food hygiene standards***.

Korban 2015 Singapore to have more sheep and lambs
The Singapore Mosques Korban Committee (JKMS) has successfully secured more livestock for the Muslim community for the korban rites this year. A total of 3,700 animals, consisting of 2,000 sheep from Australia and 1,700 lambs from Ireland, are available for korban at 25 mosques.
JKMS chairman, Ustaz Rashid Ramli stated, “JKMS is grateful to be able to safeguard the syiar of korban for the Singapore Muslim community in 2015. We have secured a total of 3,700 animals for the community, at a lower price compared to last year. Our mosques are on track with preparations for the Korban, and are ready to receive orders from the jemaah. We will work
to continually improve our services and pray for smooth Korban operations this year.”
Registration for Korban 2015 opens on 1 August 2015 and will close on 14 September 2015. Members of the public who wish to perform Korban can register their intent and submit their particulars at the 25 listed mosques for orders of sheep and lamb. Paper forms for both Irish and Australian sheep are available at all 25 mosques on 1 August 2015.
The price of each sheep supplied by the approved Korban vendor (AKV) for 2015 for each Australian sheep is set at S$490, S$9 less per sheep* as compared to the price in 2014. The price for each lamb offered is set at S$570, S$5 less per lamb than the price in 2014.
While Australia remains the primary source of livestock for Korban in Singapore, JKMS continues to work with the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) to explore alternative sources that meet the highest criteria of Singapore’s food safety, animal health and veterinary public health standards.
In 2013, Muis and JKMS conducted a trial for a secondary source of livestock so as to avoid any unforeseen supply disruption in the future. Five hundred sheep from Canada were brought in for korban in addition to the usual supply of livestock from Australia, the trial was a success. In 2014, 1,500 lambs from Ireland were brought in successfully for korban rites.
This year MES, the AKV, explored opportunities to import from AVA-approved sources and proposed to import lamb from Ireland and sheep from Australia. Upon weighing the options, JKMS decided that this was the most cost effective and best possible option for Korban 2015.
Korban using Australian sheep will be conducted at 12 mosques that meet the requirements of Australia’s Exporter Supply Chain Assurance System (ESCAS)* regulatory framework. While korban using Irish lamb are not subjected to ESCAS audit, in keeping with JKMS' livestock management and animal handling standards, the 13 participating mosques offering Irish lamb will adopt the same standard operating procedures for Korban operations, which includes transporting, handling and slaughtering of livestock, at all venues. These standards are in accordance with the World Organisation for Animal Health’s (OIE) internationally accepted animal welfare and food hygiene standards
