An earlier circular from the Singapore Bangladeshi Society 'did not provide the full scope of arrangements' made for Muslim migrant workers, with MUIS adding they are a 'valued member' of the community.
SINGAPORE: Migrant workers have"never been segregated" from the community or mosques, said the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore on Monday .
“This will help to avoid overcrowding and road blockages and ensure the health and safety of everyone," the circular read. "We would like our Muslim migrant brothers to be comfortable when doing their ibadah . Once again, apologies for the insensitive language. We will do better," MUIS replied. MUIS also confirmed that migrant workers will have access to mosques, while there be additional congregations in dormitories and recreational centres.
It also stated that it"truly appreciate" that the Muslim community in Singapore shares its concern for the migrant worker community.'Not obligatory' for countries to follow each other in determining start of Islamic calendar: MUIS
