Mendaki division to promote SkillsFuture to Malay-Muslims

TODAY reports: “SkillsFuture is coming on board. If you ask me, that’s a game changer for the Malay-Muslim community," says Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Yaacob Ibrahim.

A division will be set up within Mendaki, a Malay-Muslim self-help group, to promote the SkillsFuture initiative to the Malay-Muslim community, Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Yaacob Ibrahim said on Sunday (Aug 16).

He singled out the scheme as an example of a national initiative that the community can benefit from.

“SkillsFuture is coming on board. If you ask me, that’s a game changer for the Malay-Muslim community. In fact, I’m going to start a division within Mendaki to look at how we can help the community take advantage of this initiative,” Dr Yaacob told reporters on the sidelines of the launch of a five-year plan for the resurrected Jalan Besar GRC.

He added that the Government has done “quite well” in uplifting the Malay-Muslim community through its various agencies. As a result, the Malay-Muslim community is better educated as a whole, while the number of divorces and marriages involving minors has come down.

With the next General Election around the corner, Dr Yaacob, who is also Minister for Communications and Information, urged Malays to look at the “wider context” of how the community has progressed over the past 50 years.

“We now have 69 mosques including the new ones and those that have been refurbished. At the same time, Zakat collection has been going up and it has been distributed to those in need,” the Minister said in Malay.
