My wife and I are happy to join you tonight to celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri.
New Year is a time to review what was done in the year before and to make plans for the year ahead.
If we were to review Jamiyah's work in the past year, we could only have awarded you high marks for your dedication and commitment to the service of the Muslim community, especially those who are in need of assistance beyond the family. You have taken steps to improve and upgrade existing services and facilities, and stepped up training of your staff to provide even better support to those you serve. Jamiyah also have plans for broadening your scope of services. In particular, I am heartened to know that you are planning to set up a nursing home for the elderly and to expand your Children's Home to accommodate a residential care programme for ESN children. I wish you success as you work your plans into reality.
