Over the years, more than 10 mosques had been awarded for their excellent practices, services, set-ups and programmes. MA has given Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura the opportunity to recognize and appreciate the commendable efforts put in by the mosques in striving to make the place of worship a centre of excellence.
