Muslims break fast with President Halimah, first in-person event in two years

SINGAPORE - Community partners, diplomats and some Muslim leaders broke their fast together on Thursday in the first in-person communal break fast event in two years, alongside President Halimah Yacob, who was the guest of honour.

At 7.12pm, everyone tucked into bento boxes of nasi briyani, with friendly murmurs of small talk between bites. "These developments are no doubt welcomed by many who look forward to activities such as the nightly 'tarawih' prayers during Ramadan." SalamSG also has a YouTube channel to provide the Muslim community with access to religious lectures and classes.
