Response to parliamentary question on the number of Muslims who have supported the Wakaf Masyarakat Singapura (WMS) and the Government’s efforts to bolster the community’s contribution to WMS

740. Mr Abdul Muhaimin Abdul Malik: To ask the Acting Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs since the launch of the Wakaf Masyarakat Singapura (a) how many Muslims have added the Fund to their will or nominated the Fund as beneficiary through their CPF or insurance; and (b) how will the Government ensure that all segments of the Muslim community understand and are able to contribute to the Fund.

Response:

  1. Wakaf Masyarakat Singapura (WMS) was launched in August 2024 to create a long-term sustainable funding stream for the social and religious needs of the Singapore Muslim community.   

  2. At least 150 Muslims have designated the WMS as a beneficiary through their wills, CPF nominations, or insurance policies.

  3. The Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS) engages in comprehensive outreach to increase the community’s understanding of WMS and encourage contributions. This includes partnering religious and corporate institutions to broaden access to WMS contribution channels, as well as encouraging community participation during key occasions such as Ramadan, haj and the Islamic New Year. These measures help ensure that all segments of the community understand the significance of the WMS and are able to contribute according to their means.
