Committee of Supply 2025 debate, Day 7: Maliki Osman on developing an active citizenry
Singapore’s Malay-Muslim community has made significant advances over the past 60 years in tandem with the nation’s progress, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office Maliki Osman in parliament on Monday (Mar 10). He told the House about continuing efforts to nurture “an active citizenry” that can contribute to the community and country. One major initiative is the expansion of Project Dian@M3, which provides holistic support to Malay families living in public rental flats with the aim of guiding them towards owning their own homes. By the end of 2025, it will cover all 11 M3@Towns, up from the current six - reaching out to 1,000 more families. Meanwhile, as part of SG60 celebrations, 60 individuals aged 60 and above will come together to mentor 60 Malay-Muslim secondary school student leaders. All this is part of rallying community assets towards the collective good, said Dr Maliki. He also shared how the community is contributing to the wider society beyond Singapore’s shores by supporting the people of Gaza. Dr Maliki noted that citizens can only do their part if they are healthy and fit themselves. He spoke of positive trends in recent years, such as a jump in Malay enrolment in Healthier SG and a rise in the proportion of Malays having sufficient physical activity.
