Louis Ng on Administration of Muslim Law (Amendment) Bill
Are there plans to review the workload of MUIS’ legal committee to see how it can more effectively manage requests? What are the considerations in deciding whether to grant recognition to a foreign halal certification body and what steps will MUIS take to ensure that standards meet local ones? With greater oversight of Muslim religious schools in the works, how will inspections be carried out if Islamic instruction is provided in a virtual meeting room hosted on a remote server outside Singapore? These questions were raised by MP Louis Ng in Parliament on Monday (Feb 5).
