SINGAPORE: Wakaf Haji Pitchay Meerah Hussain, a Muslim charitable endowment originally located in Geylang, is being used in line with the intention of the person who bequeathed it, said the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore on Monday .
In 2002, MUIS therefore migrated the wakaf to a 999-year leasehold property at 11 Beach Road. Crasco Building, a commercial building containing offices, is located at this address."MUIS assessed that this would be the best and closest alternative to fulfilling the wishes of the wakif , given that the original property could no longer be used as a madrasah," said the council.
"As a result, the value of a number of these wakaf has been enhanced, including the Wakaf Bencoolen development, the Red House, Alias Villas as well as 11 Beach Road. Since the migration of Wakaf Haji Pitchay Meerah Hussain to 11 Beach Road, MUIS has disbursed the yield from the wakaf to full-time madrasah"in line with the original intention of the wakif", said the council.
