Singapore's Longest-Serving Mufti Syed Isa Dies At 87
SINGAPORE, July 7 (Bernama) -- Singapore's longest-serving mufti, Syed Isa Mohamed, passed away on Monday at the age of 87. In a media statement, the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS) said his passing is a great loss to the Singapore Muslim community and the nation. 'MUIS is deeply saddened by the passing. His unwavering commitment and tireless efforts to promote a confident and progressive Muslim community have left a lasting impact on Singapore and beyond,' the statement read. bootstrap slideshow Syed Isa served as Mufti of Singapore from 1972 to 2010.

This included the establishment of a system for determining the Islamic calendar, development of the institution of zakat (alms) collection and disbursement, social development programmes for the poor and needy, and the Mosque Building Fund. He also played a vital role in the management and growth of wakaf (voluntary charitable endowment) properties and was instrumental in setting up an internationally credible and reliable halal certification system. Syed Isa also chaired the Fatwa Committee that provided solutions to complex and contentious issues, and was a key advocate of inter-religious harmony.

KSN awaits full report on fake MC case linked to civil servant
It was reported that three individuals, including a heart patient, had been arrested over their suspected involvement in the sale of fake MCs. 07 Jul 2025 02:41pm Chief Secretary to the Government (KSN) Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar - BERNAMA FILE PIX MELAKA - Chief Secretary to the Government (KSN) Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar said he is awaiting the results of an investigation into the alleged submission of fake medical certificates (MCs) by a civil servant in Sungai Petani, Kedah, as reported by the media yesterday. According to him, the investigation is still ongoing and he has yet to receive a full report on the case. "(The investigation) is still ongoing and the report will be submitted to me soon," he told reporters after attending the Melaka-level Jelajah Taat Setia MADANI Programme at the Melaka International Trade Centre (MITC) in Ayer Keroh, here today. Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh officiated the closing ceremony of the programme, which was also attended by Melaka State Secretary Datuk Azhar Arshad. The media yesterday reported that three individuals, including a heart patient, had been arrested over their suspected involvement in the sale of fake MCs. Their activities were uncovered following an internal probe into a policeman who frequently went on sick leave, with the MCs he submitted found to be suspicious. Meanwhile, in his speech at the programme, Shamsul Azri said civil servants' loyalty to leaders should not be seen as personal, but rather as loyalty to the principles of constitutional democracy. "As civil servants, we serve a legitimate government in accordance with the law. We are not bound to any political party, but to the oath of office we have taken to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law. "Loyalty to leaders is not individualistic in nature but a means of strengthening national stability, enhancing administrative effectiveness, and ensuring the continuity of lawfully formulated national policies," he said. At the same event, Ab Rauf and Shamsul Azri jointly launched the MADANI Pocket Book, which is available in six languages - Malay, English, Mandarin, Tamil, Iban and Kadazan. The pocket book serves as a brief yet comprehensive guide to understanding the Malaysia MADANI framework and key initiatives introduced by the government. - BERNAMA More Like This
