2024年3月6日，新加坡社會及家庭發展部長兼衛生部第二部長馬善高，在國會上就馬來穆斯林社區的事務進行發言。

**以下內容為新加坡眼根據國會英文資料翻譯整理：**

**馬善高**先生**：**

主席，自獨立以來，我們的馬來/穆斯林社區取得了顯著的進步，這要歸功於整個社區的共同努力。在「新加坡攜手前進」對話中，我們發現無論種族、語言或宗教，大家都展現出關愛和奉獻的心。這對於加強新加坡的社會契約至關重要。

新加坡馬來/穆斯林社區的成功願景基於「三C」：品德、能力和公民意識。這個願景由「M3」計劃支持，它整合了新加坡伊斯蘭宗教委員會（MUIS）、回教社會發展理事會（MENDAKI）和人民協會活動執行委員會（MESRA）的力量和資源，以更好地滿足社區的需求和願望。

「M3」計劃成立已有五年。通過「Bersamamu」項目（編者註：是新加坡穆斯林婚姻過程中的一個環節），超過26,000對夫婦在婚姻中得到了穆斯林結婚典禮主持人的幫助。社區的進步體現在新馬來籍吸毒者被捕人數從2013年的513人減少到2023年的351人。過去十年中，馬來籍罪犯的兩年內復犯率也從2011年的34.7%下降到2021年的26%。這些成就得益於政府和「M3」社區項目（如FITRAH）的努力。

雖然「M3」已經成立五年，但為其慶祝成功還為時過早。我們將繼續審查計劃帶來的影響，並在適當時候提供更新。

很明顯的是，「M3」在培養社區內貢獻文化方面提供了重要的支持。志願服務，包括通過「M3」計劃，是我們國家文化的一部分。我們已經動員了11個M3@Towns的志願者，能夠在基層上產生更大的影響，支持最前端的服務。「M3@Towns」擁有超過850名志願者，能夠解決社區面臨的一些關鍵問題。

我們如何讓成功的社區更上一層樓？我相信這取決於繼續保持公民意識的精神，互相支持，為我們的社區和新加坡創造一個更光明的未來。我的同事和我將詳細討論這個問題。

首先，我將分享三個策略來加強我們成功的社區：第一，鼓勵回饋文化，建立強大的社區機構；第二，培養自信的宗教和社區領袖，使他們能夠應對當今的挑戰；第三，在世界舞台上樹立公民意識的榜樣。

（用馬來語）：首先，我們的宗教機構為社區在經濟領域的蓬勃發展提供了道德基礎，我們必須繼續確保宗教機構的堅固基礎。。

針對**賽義德哈倫醫生**詢問的新加坡伊斯蘭宗教委員會如何繼續支持我們社區未來的需求，新加坡伊斯蘭宗教委員會建立了瓦合甫（編者註：瓦合甫是伊斯蘭法律當中不可剝奪的宗教捐獻）管理系統，以提供可持續的資金來源，支持社區未來的宗教需求，包括清真寺、培養宗教教師和其他社區項目。

**沙禮爾先生**和**周凱年先生**詢問了為瓦合甫管理系統建立本金基金的計劃。在清真寺基金計劃（Masjid Waqf Investment Plan）下，清真寺將儲備資金投資於符合伊斯蘭教法的投資產品，以產生更高的回報。至今，西區的14個清真寺已共同投資了超過270萬新幣。回教理事會（MUIS）將擴展這一計劃到其他地區的所有清真寺，以便它們增加資金，並擴大對社區的影響。

雖然「古東羅勇」（gotong-royong，意為互助精神）一直是我們社區的DNA，但我們需要更加有組織和聚焦地努力，以鼓勵我們的社區長期奉獻。我感謝**周凱年先生**提出鼓勵更多人建立和貢獻瓦合甫的建議。我們將與相關機構合作研究這些提案。回應**沙禮爾先生**和**周凱年先生**的問題，新加坡伊斯蘭宗教委員會開展了一系列公眾教育活動，提供社區財務規劃知識和工具，幫助他們為個人和家庭需求進行規劃。這些活動將幫助他們規劃並貢獻盈餘收入和財富給瓦合甫管理系統，以獲得更大的利益，並在來世獲得永恆的回報。

自去年以來，除了清真寺的投資外，新加坡伊斯蘭宗教委員會還收到超過360萬新幣的瓦合甫管理系統承諾。社區的積極回應讓人振奮，我鼓勵更多人參與瓦合甫管理系統的貢獻或承諾。

針對**莫哈默·費沙先生**問MBMF（一個用於在每個新城鎮建造清真寺的基金），MBMF用於清真寺的所有發展，包括建築升級和維護，資金分配取決於每個清真寺的具體需求。對於所有新清真寺，土地和建築成本均由MBMF資助。MBMF還支持最多75%的批准成本用於清真寺的升級。

我希望對瓦合甫的貢獻將有助於在我們社區內培養更強的回饋文化。高級國務部長**扎吉哈先生**將詳細介紹我們如何通過回教理事會的舉措來賦予我們的社區力量，並且通過我們取得的成功，我們可以更積極地做出貢獻。高級政務次長**拉哈尤瑪贊女士**將分享我們如何利用M3社區成為受過教育和才華橫溢的社區的機會。

其次，我們的宗教和社區領袖必須繼續擁有知識、技能和經驗，以便他們能夠勝任引導我們社區應對未來的挑戰。這包括培養我們的伊斯蘭教學校學生，他們將成為我們未來的社區領袖，如**賽義德哈倫醫生**之前提到的。

近年來，我們的宗教教師引導社區應對了諸如佩戴頭巾和廢除刑法典第377A條款等問題。

**娜蒂雅女士**詢問我們計劃如何賦予我們的宗教教師指導社區應對當代問題的能力。

作為少數族裔穆斯林社區，我們面臨的挑戰與穆斯林多數國家不同。在這方面，我同意賽義德哈倫醫生的觀點，即新加坡伊斯蘭宗教委員會和我們的宗教教師必須為我們的少數族裔穆斯林社區在這種當代背景下提供明確的領導和指導。

回教理事會採取了有意識的措施來培養知識體系，一個近期的舉措是上個月舉行的「當代社會回教法規」會議（Fatwa in Contemporary Societies Conference）。來自本地和世界各地的傑出宗教學者討論了法特瓦機構和宗教教師在面對複雜當代挑戰時提供強有力解決方案的重要性。儘管新加坡是一個少數族裔穆斯林社區的小國家，國際知名的伊斯蘭機構（如埃及教法判令委員會）承認我們國家在建立宗教知識體系方面的貢獻。這有助於促進世界各地的少數族裔穆斯林在各自環境中蓬勃發展。

事實上，它也培養了各自社會中的積極公民意識。這與埃及大穆夫提在法特瓦會議上的觀點相吻合，即少數族裔穆斯林社區應彰顯積極公民意識的精神。

與此同時，我們還必須提高我們社區領導人的能力，以有效支持家庭和社區。

**閥米先生**詢問了我們如何加強我們的Kadi、Naib Kadi（編者註：宗教官員）和女宗教教師在「Bersamamu」中的能力。超過90%的人已經接受了培訓，以更好地指導夫婦就婚姻財務準備進行對話。這幫助他們在指導夫婦時更加自信和有同情心。我們將進一步培養他們在其他領域的能力，以便他們能夠為夫婦提供更有效的支持。

今年年底時候，我們將慶祝「Bersamamu」成立五周年。「Bersamamu」的成功離不開我們志願Kadi、Naib Kadi和女宗教教師的不懈努力。

（用英文）：主席，作為一個成功的社區，我們不僅為社會做出積極貢獻。我們還可以在世界舞台上展示積極的公民意識，為我們的少數族裔穆斯林社區和新加坡感到自豪。

去年，新加坡與沙烏地阿拉伯簽署了第一份相互承認清真證書的諒解備忘錄。這份諒解備忘錄不僅允許其他國家的清真認證產品進入新加坡，還允許新加坡公司將其清真認證產品出口到海外。

**周凱年先生**還詢問了與沙烏地阿拉伯簽署諒解備忘錄對我們少數族裔穆斯林社區的意義。這是沙烏地阿拉伯首次與穆斯林不是多數的國家簽署諒解備忘錄。這表明他們對我們的清真標準有很高的信任和信心。這不僅擴大了業務前景，還讓新加坡的少數族裔穆斯林社區在全球舞台上站得更高。

我很高興在1月與一些新加坡商業領袖一起探索在沙烏地阿拉伯的機會。其中一位是種植者農業公司豐盛農糧的董事總經理蘇先生，該公司出口大米和麵條。他向我表示，這份備忘錄為他的公司帶來了商機。

新加坡伊斯蘭宗教委員會不僅與沙烏地阿拉伯簽署了清真認證的備忘錄，還和阿聯和約旦建立了類似的合作協議。我們正在與其他國家探討類似的合作機會，進一步加強清真合作的努力。

不僅如此，我們的少數族裔穆斯林社區在全球舞台上也展現出了獨特的價值。我們的宗教領袖和機構因其思想領導力受到國際認可。比如，我們的納茲魯汀博士最近被任命為穆斯林少數民族教令研究論壇（由埃及的教令局成立）的成員，這是一個由世界著名伊斯蘭學者組成的團體。埃及大穆夫提親自領導這個組織。

**納茲魯汀博士**的任命讓新加坡在全球範圍內展示了我們對少數族裔穆斯林的引領作用。我們希望通過這種努力，能夠激勵其他社區，促進全球和平與和諧。

主席，這些只是我們如何繼續支持新加坡的馬來/穆斯林社區在國內外蓬勃發展的幾個例子。正如我一開始所說，我們必須確保我們的社區對社會的貢獻文化得到培養，以取得更大的成功。讓我們攜手並肩，共同努力，為我們的社區和新加坡建設更光明的未來。

**以下是英文質詢內容：**

: Minister Masagos Zulkifli.

The Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs (Mr Masagos Zulkifli B M M): Chairman, our Malay/Muslim community has made significant strides since Independence and over the decades. This is a result of the collective and steadfast effort of everyone in the community. As our Forward SG conversations have highlighted, this sense of care and contribution by everyone, regardless of race, language or religion, is key to strengthening Singapore's social compact. 

The Singapore Malay/Muslim Community's vision of a Community of Success is underpinned by 3Cs: Character, Competency and Citizenry. This is supported by M3, which marshals the strengths and resources of three institutions – MUIS, MENDAKI and PA MESRA – and our community assets to better serve the needs and aspirations of our community. 

It has been about five years since M3 was set up. Mr Saktiandi Supaat, Dr Syed Harun and Mr Faisal Manap asked about the progress and outcomes of M3. Through a more culturally nuanced approach that complements national efforts, we have been able to provide impactful programmes in the community. For example, through the Bersamamu programme, more than 26,000 couples have been supported by the Kadi and Naib Kadi or Muslim solemnisers to build stronger marriages. To Dr Syed Harun's query, the number of new Malay drug abusers arrested has fallen from 513 in 2013, to 351 in 2023. The two-year recidivism rate for Malay offenders has also improved over the past decade from 34.7% for the 2011 release cohort, to 26% for the 2021 release cohort. The improvements have been made possible through complementary efforts by the Government and M3 community programmes like FITRAH to preventing re-offending. 

While it has been five years of M3, it would be too early to celebrate its success even as there are early and good indicators of it. We are continuing to review the impact of our programmes and will provide updates in due course. 

What is clear is that M3 has importantly provided the structure to nurture a culture of contribution within the community. Volunteering, including through M3, is part of our national culture that is being celebrated by the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) this year. To Mr Fahmi Aliman's and Dr Wan Rizal's queries, we have mobilised volunteers across the 11 M3@Towns to deliver greater impact on the ground and support last mile delivery. With a dedicated pool of over 850 volunteers at the M3@Towns, M3 has been able to tackle some of the key issues faced by our community. 

How can we take our Community of Success to greater heights? I believe this lies in a continued spirit of Citizenry, where we support one another to create a brighter future for our community and for Singapore, which my colleagues and I will speak more about today.

I will first share three strategies to fortify our Community of Success: first, encouraging a culture of giving back to build strong community institutions; second, empowering confident religious and community leaders to face contemporary challenges; and third, exemplifying citizenry on the world stage. Chairman, in Malay, please. 

*(In Malay):* First, we must continue to ensure strong foundations for our religious institutions. In turn, our religious institutions provide the moral foundation for our community to thrive in the economy.

Dr Syed Harun asked how MUIS can continue to support our community's future needs. MUIS established the WMS to generate a sustainable funding stream to support the future religious needs of the community, for the current and future generation. These include our mosques, developing our asatizah and other community programmes.

Mr Sharael Taha and Mr Zhulkarnain asked about the plans to build the corpus or principal fund for WMS. Under the Mosque Wakaf Investment Plan, mosques invest their reserves in Shariah Compliant Investment Products to generate better returns. Thus far, 14 mosques from District West have collectively invested more than $2.7 million. MUIS will expand this initiative to all mosques in other districts, so that they can grow their funds and amplify their impact on the community.

While the spirit of gotong-royong has been part of our community's DNA, we need to be more organised and focused in multiplying efforts to encourage our community to contribute for the long term. I would like to thank Mr Zhulkarnain for his suggestion on encouraging more to create and contribute to wakaf. We will work with the relevant agencies to study these proposals. To Mr Sharael Taha's and Mr Zhulkarnain's queries, MUIS has embarked on a series of public education initiatives to equip the community with financial planning knowledge and tools to plan for their personal and family needs. They can thus plan and contribute their excess income and wealth to WMS for the greater good, and reap perpetual rewards in the afterlife. God-willing.

Since last year, MUIS has received WMS pledges amounting over $3.6 million from individuals, besides the investment of mosques. I am heartened by the community's response so far and I encourage more to contribute or pledge to WMS.

Mr Faisal Manap asked about the MBMF. The MBMF provides for the development of all mosques including building upgrading and maintenance, where the allocation of funds are subject to each mosque's specific needs. For all new mosques, all land and building cost are funded by the MBMF. The MBMF also supports up to 75% of the approved cost for mosque upgrading. 

I hope that contributions to WMS will help to foster a stronger culture of giving back within our community. Senior Minister of State Zaqy will elaborate on how we can empower our community through MENDAKI's initiatives, and with the success that we achieved, we can contribute more actively. Senior Parliamentary Secretary Rahayu will share ways we can leverage opportunities for contribution through M3 as a community that has become an educated and talented community.

Second, it is critical for our religious and community leaders to continue to have the knowledge, skills and experience, so that they are competent in guiding our community navigate the challenges ahead. This includes developing our madrasah students who will be our future community leaders, as Dr Syed Harun mentioned earlier.

As a matter of fact, in recent years, our asatizah have guided the community through difficult issues, such as the wearing of the tudung and the repeal of section 377A of the Penal Code.

Ms Nadia Samdin asked about our plans to empower our asatizah to guide the community through contemporary issues.

As a minority Muslim community, we face a different set of challenges compared to Muslim majority countries. In this regard, I agree with Dr Syed Harun that MUIS and our asatizah must provide clear leadership and guidance for our minority Muslim community living in such a contemporary context.

MUIS has taken concerted efforts to grow bodies of knowledge, and one recent initiative is the Fatwa in Contemporary Societies Conference held last month. Eminent religious scholars from here and around the world discussed the importance of the fatwa institution and asatizah in providing robust solutions in the face of complex contemporary challenges. Although Singapore is a small state with a minority Muslim community, internationally renowned Islamic institutions like Egypt's Darul Ifta' recognised our country's contributions in building bodies of religious knowledge. This help to facilitate minority Muslims around the world to thrive in their respective contexts.

In fact, it also nurtures active citizenry in the respective societies. This is in line with the words of wisdom by the Grand Mufti of Egypt at the Fatwa Conference that minority Muslim communities should exemplify the spirit of active citizenry.

To further drive the development of our religious leaders and contextualised bodies of knowledge, MUIS will convene the second edition of the International Conference on Communities of Success (ICCOS) this October. This Conference will focus on how citizenry and community leadership are underpinned by religious values, and add to the body of knowledge of how minority Muslim communities can thrive in plural societies.

At the same time, we must also raise the capabilities of our community leaders to offer effective support to families and the community.

Mr Fahmi Aliman asked about our efforts to strengthen the competencies of our Kadi, Naib Kadi and female asatizah on the Bersamamu programme. More than 90% of them have undergone training to better guide couples in conversations on financial preparedness for marriage. This helped them be more confident and empathetic in guiding couples. We will further develop their competencies in other areas, so that they can provide more effective support to couples.

We will be commemorating the fifth anniversary of Bersamamu later this year. The success of Bersamamu would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of our volunteer Kadi, Naib Kadi and female asatizah.

(*In English*): Mr Chairman, as a Community of Success, we take pride not only in actively contributing to society. We also can demonstrate active citizenry on the world stage and bring distinction to our minority Muslim community and to Singapore. 

Last year, Singapore signed our first MOU to mutually recognise halal certificates with Saudi Arabia. Such MOUs not only allow for halal-certified products from other countries to enter Singapore, but for Singapore companies to bring their halal-certified products overseas.

5.30 pm 

To Mr Zhulkarnain's query, MUIS works with our economic agencies to do so. MUIS will also explore opportunities for our asatizah to be involved in halal-related industries. 

Mr Zhulkarnain also asked about the significance of this MOU for our minority Muslim community. The MOU with Saudi Arabia is the first MOU they have signed with a country where Muslims are not the majority. This reflects the strong trust and confidence in our halal standards. More than just expanding business prospects, the MOU has enabled Singapore's minority Muslim community to stand tall in the world. 

I was glad to join some Singapore business leaders to explore opportunities in Saudi Arabia in January. One of them was Mr Jimmy Soh, Managing Director of Growers Agri which exports rice and noodles, who shared with me that the MOU was a valuable commitment in promoting Singapore brands to the world. 

Beyond the MOU with Saudi Arabia, MUIS has signed similar MOUs with the United Arab Emirates and Jordan; and are looking to do the same with other countries. 

Beyond efforts to strengthen halal cooperation, our minority Muslim community also contributes at the global stage, with how our religious leaders and institutions are internationally recognised for their thought leadership. Our Mufti Dr Nazirudin was recently appointed to the Forum for Research and Studies on Fatwas for Muslim Minorities, a world-renowned body of Islamic scholars founded by Egypt's Darul Ifta', led by the Grand Mufti of Egypt. The Congress plans to showcase Singapore's exemplary model for Muslim minorities to a global audience. We hope that our model of thriving Muslim minorities in a modern, plural society will inspire other communities and pave the way for fostering peace and harmony globally. 

Mr Chairman, as a community that has done well, it is our mutual responsibility to contribute both within our community and to wider society as well as beyond our shores. It is when every one of us does our part as active citizens that we can advance and scale greater heights and together, be a Community of Success for the future.\[*Applause.*\]
