Berita Harian awards recognise Malay/Muslim community leaders and student role models

Former Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis) president Mohammad Alami Musa was conferred the BH Achiever of the Year award for his lifelong work as a Malay/Muslim community activist at the ceremony.

… Mr Alami, who is Head of Studies in Inter-Religious Relations in Plural Societies Programme at Nanyang Technological University’s S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, was thankful for the award, but added: “Building and developing a community is not the work of one individual; it is the effort of many individuals over a long period of time.”

The 59-year-old was president of Muis from 2003 to 2013, and instrumental in formulating the Singapore Muslim Identity project.
