Valuable feedback
MUIS values feedback as a vehicle of learning, improving and progressing. In
the year, six feedback sessions were conducted including three on compulsory
education and madrasahs. These sessions helped us to better understand the
community’s feelings on important issues. The feed-back and views have also been
channelled to relevant authorities for follow-up.
Welcoming visitors
This was a year abuzz with visitors. We received 219 visitors, an 80% increase
over the previous year. Visitors included the new ambassadors of Egypt and
Tanzania to Singapore, as well as individuals and group visitors from Muslim
organisations in the region, Europe and America.
Exceeding future expectations
By all accounts, MUIS has, once again, done considerably well. The MUIS of
today has a clear vision of the organisation’s essential purpose and its reason
for being. Singapore today is an open society and one that is increasingly
connected – in all sense of the word – to the world. The environment everyone
lives and works in is very competitive.
That should, in return, spur MUIS and its members on. Our response should be
creative, innovative and, above all, practical and realistic. We must build an
excellent Muslim community which supports Islamic values in the context of a
multi-religious and multi-racial Singapore; a community ready to face together
the challenges of the 21st century – and surpass all expectations in doing so.
