MOU signed between Hindu Endowments Board and Commissioner of Charities

SINGAPORE - Singaporeans now have higher expectations of governance and productivity within charities and organisations, said Minister for Communications and Information S. Iswaran on Saturday .

"We are trying to do something that will help to set the new benchmark, in terms of the standard of the work and the kind of effort that we undertake, not only within the Hindu community but also within the larger community of charities in Singapore," said Mr Iswaran. "This will only work if all of us agree that this is important, and commit ourselves to working together to make it happen."

In May 2018, key board members of the temple were barred from their posts by the Charities Commissioner after an eight-month-long probe found severe mismanagement in how temple funds were managed.
