New committee to review safeguards at Singapore's Islamic-religious institutions

Singapore has convened a new committee to review safety across Islamic-religious institutions. It will look at strengthening safeguards for minors, including oversight of informal and online religious guidance. Led by Associate Professor Razwana Begum and Ustaz Fathurrahman Dawoed, the group is expected to publish its findings before the end of the year. The government is also considering expanding screening for roles involving contact with children. This, after a recent case involving a man who sexually abused minors he met at a mosque.
