COS Cut for MCCY
Since its formation in 1968, MUIS has touched the lives of many people, particularly Muslims in Singapore. Over the years, MUIS has played a key role in ensuring that the socio-religious lives of Muslims in Singapore are being looked after.
As a former Council Member of MUIS, I have seen MUIS making every effort to stay relevant in this everchanging world that we live in. MUIS’s effort in building an excellent and inspiring Muslim community which is resilient, socially cohesive and thrives in a multi-religious society, secular state and globalised World is apt and commendable.
2018 marks 50 years since MUIS was established.
Could Minister share some of the plans that MUIS is embarking on this year, and MUIS vision for the future?
Tuan Pengerusi
Sejak ditubuhkan pada tahun 1968, MUIS telah memberikan manfaat kepada ramai orang, terutama sekali warga Singapura yang beragama Islam. Selama ini, MUIS telah memainkan peranan utama dalam usaha untuk memastikan bahawa kehidupan sosio-agama
penduduk Islam di Singapura diberikan perhatian yang sewajarnya.
Sebagai mantan anggota Lembaga Majlis MUIS, saya telah menyaksikan MUIS berusaha sedaya upaya untuk kekal relevan dalam kehidupan kita di dunia yang sentiasa berubah. Usaha MUIS untuk membangunkan masyarakat Islam yang cemerlang dan diteladani,
berdaya bingkas, bersepadu serta hidup rukun dalam masyarakat pelbagai agama, negara sekular dan dunia global sememangnya sesuai dan harus diberikan pujian.
2018 menandakan 50 tahun sejak MUIS ditubuhkan.
Bolehkah Menteri berkongsi beberapa rancangan yang sedang dijalankan oleh MUIS tahun ini dan visi MUIS untuk masa hadapan?
Answer:
The theme “Semarak Langkah, Berjiwa Rahmah” or “Striving with Confidence, Serving with Compassion” is apt in portraying the spirit of MUIS’ service to the community. Sir, MUIS will be holding a special MUIS 50 Dinner and Awards Ceremony, and present awards that honour individuals who have been instrumental to MUIS and Singapore, and also who inspire our youth. MUIS will also hold an International Religious Conference at the end of the year to rally the community on the important role of religious scholars and institutions in shaping a progressive religious life. MUIS is currently engaging the community through the ongoing MUIS50 conversations for ideas to strengthen MUIS for the future. Sir, more details will be shared at MUIS’ Work Plan Seminar next month.
