Islamic Legacy Planning Village

A family secret, a verbal wish and an unexpected heir are enough to turn an estate into a source of confusion and conflict. Inspired by the Mediacorp microdrama Remuk: Yang Tinggal, this forum examines how silence, assumptions and incomplete planning can burden the very family we hope to protect.

Through selected scenes, relatable discussion and practical guidance, religious and legal experts will explain what families should discuss, document and review before a crisis occurs.

Session will be conducted in Malay, with English used on presentation slides and in Q&A.

Speakers:

• Ustaz Dr Firdaus Yahya, Director, Syariah Consultancy, Education and Training

• Mdm Zahara Bakar Partner, Tan Rajah & Cheah

• Moderated by Shenty Feliziana, Host and TV personality

A registration fee of $10 applies. All proceeds go to Wakaf Masyarakat Singapura.

Look forward to understand:

• Why verbal wishes alone are not enough, and what puts your intentions on record

• Which of your assets fall inside and outside your estate

• How careful planning can preserve rights, reduce disputes and leave a legacy of clarity and care

• How to extend your legacy beyond your family through sadaqah jaariyah

This is not a conventional panel event. It is a structured, facilitated dialogue bringing together professionals from across the Islamic Legacy Planning ecosystem including lawyers, asatizah, financial advisers, estate planners, real estate professionals and policymakers - to build shared understanding, surface practice insights and strengthen cross-disciplinary collaboration.

Session will be conducted in English.
