Committee of Supply 2024 debate, Day 6: Zhulkarnain Abdul Rahim on wakafs and internationalising halal products
Consider appropriate tax deductible regimes that will incentivise Singaporeans to create wakafs and attract foreign wakafs to relocate here, said MP Zhulkarnain Abdul Rahim. Speaking in Parliament on Wednesday (Mar 6), he asked about plans to build up the new Malay-Muslim community fund, Wakaf Masyarakat Singapura, and how much has been pledged so far. He also highlighted the huge growth potential in the halal industry. Mr Zhulkarnain asked what is being done to help Singapore companies take local halal-certified products overseas, and support locals to build expertise and skills in halal-related fields.
