主席：安迪先生。
安迪先生：主席先生，我感謝部長、資政部長和高級政務次長對我提出的問題的回答以及他們的演講。我有兩個問題需要澄清。
首先，我想問問馬善高部長。他在他最後一次發言中提到他們所做的努力，並且他對加沙和巴勒斯坦面臨的問題發表了一段感人的講話。他提到新加坡回教理事會設立的全福基金會（Rahmatan Lil Alamin Foundation）將在齋月期間啟動。能否請部長詳細解釋一下這次的募集活動是否有限制？因為上一次的新加坡回教理事會設立的全福基金會募捐活動有一個固定的時間段，這次是否也有類似的時間限制，以便讓社區和公眾了解更多？新加坡回教理事會設立的全福基金會如何在齋月期間以及之後與社區保持聯繫？
第二個問題，主席先生，我想請教衛生部兼律政部高級政務次長 拉哈尤瑪贊女士和人力部兼國防部高級政務部長扎吉哈先生提到與企業合作。我認為政府在社會責任方面所做的工作是有限的。我想知道是否有更多的方法讓企業（包括馬來/穆斯林企業或其他非馬來/穆斯林企業）幫助馬來社區走得更遠？除了扎基資政部長提到的獎學金和拉哈優高級政務次長提到的志願服務之外，是否有其他方式可以吸引更多的新加坡企業為我們的社區做出貢獻？
主席：馬善高部長。
馬善高部長：我感謝這位議員提出的澄清問題。
新加坡回教理事會設立的全福基金會像任何其他組織一樣，在募集海外資金時需要獲得合法許可，這需要時間。同時，這也會受到許可時間的限制，這也是為什麼在之前的募捐活動中有一個固定的時間限制。我認為這是一件正確的事情。我們也希望確保在募集資金的同時能專注於其他重要的事情，為我們的社區和所有人服務。因此，我希望我們的社區能夠團結起來。我想這次募捐活動將持續一周左右。我們將在周五的祈禱儀式和媒體中宣傳募捐的開始和結束時間。
以下是英文質詢內容：
The Chairman: Mr Saktiandi Supaat.
Mr Saktiandi Supaat: Mr Chairman, I would like to thank Minister and Senior Minister of State and Senior Parliamentary Secretary for her answers to my cuts and for their speeches. I have two clarifications.
One, to Minister Masagos. He mentioned in his last speech about the efforts, and I think he gave a very heartfelt speech about the issues that we face in Gaza and in Palestine. He mentioned about how Rahmatan Lil Alamin will be coming on stream, especially during Ramadan. Can Minister share a bit more whether this second round, whether there will be a time limit? Because the previous one, Rahmatan Lil Alamin there was a period of time where they can collect donations, whether this time round, can Minister share so that the community and public can know a bit more about that? And how does RLAF plan to reach out to the community, especially during Ramadan and may be beyond that as well?
Second question, Mr Chairman, is about, I think Senior Parliamentary Secretary Rahayu and Senior Minister of State Zaqy mentioned about working with corporates. I think there is only so much that the Government can do as part of a social compact. I was wondering whether there is more that corporates can be involved, whether Malay/Muslim corporates or maybe non-Malay/Muslim corporates, how they can actually help the Malay community going forward beyond scholarships that Senior Minister of State has mentioned and beyond the specific volunteerism sort of efforts that Senior Parliamentary Secretary Rahayu has mentioned, whether there could be — well, our efforts to actually entice a bit more of the Singapore corporates to help our community going forward?
The Chairman: Minister Masagos Zulkifli.
Mr Masagos Zulkifli B M M: I thank the Member for his clarification question.
The Rahmatan Lil Alamin Foundation, like any other organisations, when they want to raise funds – particularly for an overseas purpose – need to regularise, get its permits in place and it will take time. But it will also be time limited by the permit and that was why in the previous exercise of collecting the funds, it was time-limited. I think it is the right thing to do. At the same time, we want to ensure that there is a time where we can focus our efforts in raising these funds.
But we must also be able to move on to do other important things for our community and for everyone else. So, I hope that our community will rally. I think it will be an exercise for about a week. And we will raise this awareness about when it starts and when it will end during our Friday sermons as well as through the media.
