This roundtable discussion explores practical strategies for government and policymakers to enhance engagement with Malay-Muslim civil society actors in Singapore. Given the diverse and active participation of the Malay-Muslim community in civil society initiatives, including interfaith dialogues, grassroots activism and social media initiatives that actively discuss community issues, there is a significant opportunity to deepen collaborative efforts. This roundtable discussion seeks to examine the dynamics of current engagements, identify strengths and lessons learnt, and propose areas for improvement. The focus will be on practical measures that can facilitate more meaningful interactions between government bodies and Muslim social actors, so as to leverage these relationships for mutual benefit and the broader goal of strengthening national cohesion and inclusive social development.
