SINGAPORE - The number of new Malay/Muslim drug offenders arrested has more than halved over the past three years, said Minister of State for Home Affairs Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim.
Its inaugural workplan, launched at the forum, will see it adopt new strategies to further prevent offending and reoffending within the Malay/Muslim community. The workplan was co-developed by the Ministry of Home Affairs, SPS, Central Narcotics Bureau and network members. “By coming together as a network, member organisations are able to multiply their collective efforts, tapping each other’s expertise, synergising efforts to better support ex-offenders and their families,” said Mr Masagos, who is also Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs.
Mr Didicazli said M3 volunteers have come across families who were not able to buy food, grandparents who have to work to support their incarcerated children’s families, and children in need of continued education. Its executive director Saleemah Ismail said studies have shown that 20 per cent of children whose parents are in prison are more likely to end up behind bars.
