SINGAPORE, May 27 — Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong today expressed appreciation to the republic’s Muslim community for ensuring those in need continued to receive support during Hari Raya Aidiladha despite challenges affecting livestock supplies for korban (sacrificial offering) activities.

He said the resilience and community spirit shown by Muslims in carrying out korban activities reflected the strong bonds within the community.

“As families observe korban this year, I am heartened by the resilience and community spirit shown by all involved.

“These efforts reflect the strong bonds within our community,” he said in his Aidiladha wishes in a Facebook post today. 

According to the prime minister, Aidiladha remains an important occasion for the Muslim community, marked by prayer, sacrifice and sharing with others.

“May this Aidiladha bring blessings to you and your family, and strengthen the spirit of compassion and mutual cooperation among the Singaporean Muslim community,” he added. — Bernama
