Committee of Supply 2023 debate, Day 7: Mariam Jaafar on how Malay-Muslim community can inspire and contribute to the nation
How best can the talents of the Malay community in Singapore be harnessed so that it is an inspiration and motivation to build a community of success, and can be recognised for contributions to the nation? MP Mariam Jaafar asked this question in Parliament on Monday (Mar 6). She said the Malay-Muslim community is a diverse one, with many brilliant talents. However, it still faces challenges and niggling issues such as deep-rooted prejudices. However, rather than let these issues cripple its progress, Ms Mariam said it has become a role model on how to manage challenges and diversity as a community.
