The Chief Executive of the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis), Kadir Maideen has left Singapore for KSA as the head of the Singapore Pilgrims’ Affairs Office (SPAO).
On Facebook Maideen said: "For Muslims, performing the Hajj is the pinnacle of our faith. The sight of families and friends during the sending off of the pilgrims is a special shared moment which highlights the importance of this journey.
Given the significance of this journey, much preparations have gone towards this undertaking. The SPAO will take all necessary measures in ensuring the wellbeing and safety of our pilgrims, insha'Allah. Our medical team is also ready to provide any assistance, as well as support in adhering to the necessary protocol during the course of the pilgrimage in the holy lands of Makkah and Madinah. I seek the community’s continued prayers for a smooth and safe Hajj for all our pilgrims."
