 2020 is the second year of the 6th Muis 3-Year Plan.

   It was also an extraordinary year for everyone.
Nonetheless, Muis has strived to provide the needs of
the community, ensuring that our religious resilience
remains strong while looking out for those in need to
    help weather the challenges of the pandemic.

      We extend our deepest appreciation to all
stakeholders, partners, and the Muslim community in
Singapore for your continued support and partnership.

         Together, we will emerge stronger,
           as we build our resilient future.
