SINGAPORE — Mosques across Singapore will be closed for at least five days from Friday (March 13) for thorough disinfection, and this week’s Friday prayers are cancelled, Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Masagos Zulkifli said.
The moves come after two Singaporeans who attended a religious gathering in Malaysia were diagnosed with Covid-19 this week, he told a media briefing on Thursday.
In addition, all mosque activities, such as classes, lectures and mosque-based kindergartens will be cancelled for 14 days from Friday to March 27.
Mr Masagos, who is also Minister for the Environment and Water Resources, had written about the religious gathering in a Facebook post earlier on Thursday, saying that 95 Singaporeans had reportedly attended the event across the Causeway.
About 10,000 people from several countries reportedly attended this religious gathering, which took place at Sri Petaling mosque, on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, between Feb 27 and March 1, the Malaysian authorities said.
Elaborating at the briefing, Mr Masagos said that it is unclear whether the reported number of 95 Singaporean attendees is accurate. However, the authorities here are certain that at least 82 Singaporeans had been at the gathering.
The Ministry of Health has received information on all 82 and is conducting contact tracing, he added.
Of the two who have since been diagnosed with Covid-19, Mr Masagos said that one had gone to the doctor for medical attention on March 9.
“We don't know exactly on what day he came back, but in between arriving in Singapore and getting medical attention, he performed his duties as an officer of a mosque and in that process, visited four mosques,” he said.
After his March 9 visit to the doctor, the patient was taken to the National Centre for Infectious Diseases on March 11 and a day later, tested positive for Covid-19, he added.
“We shut down these four mosques today and sanitisation started today, but all mosques will be shut down for five days, which means tomorrow, there will be no Friday prayers,” Mr Masagos said.
“As we know, many people who go to mosques are seniors, retired, so we think it's important for the moment to prevent congregations at mosques.”
The four mosques visited by the patient and that were closed on Thursday are Al-Muttaqin Mosque in Ang Mo Kio, Kassim Mosque in Kembangan, Hajjah Fatimah Mosque in Kampong Glam and Jamae (Chulia) Mosque in Chinatown.
It is not known which of the four mosques he was employed at, and whether he visited the other three mosques as part of his work duties or for personal reasons.
As for the second Singaporean who has tested positive for Covid-19 after attending the event in Malaysia, Mr Masagos said that the authorities are still tracing his movements over the past few days and it is not known whether he visited any mosques since his return.
Dr Nazirudin Mohd Nasir, who is the Mufti — Singapore's highest Islamic authority — said that this is the first time in Singapore’s history that mosques islandwide are being closed at the same time and that Friday prayers are cancelled.
Those looking for precedent will have to refer to the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad, he said, who would cancel Friday prayers and instruct his community to pray at home in times of crises such as floods.
“It is very important for us to continue to protect society and protect the vulnerable,” he added.
“And if you look in recent days, at the fatwas, guidance and religious edicts issued by religious fatwa bodies around the world, you would find similar positions everywhere.”
A fatwa is a religious edict issued by an Islamic authority.
During the five-day closure, the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis) will monitor whether more confirmed Covid-19 cases arise among the attendees of the Malaysia event, Muis' chief executive officer Esa Masood said.
“If our assessment is that beyond the two, there is a sizeable cluster, that would be a good reason to consider a possible extension (of the closure),” he said.
“The other possible consideration is what happens in the region. We know the event had participants from various countries, so we’ll also be monitoring what happens among participants who returned to their home countries.”
He noted, too, that the 82 Singapore participants of the Malaysian event are known to regularly visit various mosques around Singapore, which is a common practice among Muslims.
“In view of this, our strategy at Muis is, in order to prevent a sizeable cluster from forming, we have taken the following steps.”
When asked why Singapore is taking such unprecedented steps while neighbouring countries have not, Mr Masagos said: “Why should we follow people who may not be doing the right thing? We should do what we need to for Singapore and Singaporeans. We are not just protecting Muslims, we are protecting the nation.”
He added: “This is the first time we are going through a situation where the spread of a virus is so global. Even Sars (the severe acute respiratory syndrome outbreak in 2003) was very much confined to China, Hong Kong and Singapore and H1N1 was not so contagious. (Covid-19) is growing in a way that medical experts are still trying to understand better.
"What we know today is that we need to break the cycle of transmission so that it does not contribute towards spread within the community.”
Probably covided.

Moslem invasion and occupation of countries like India, Spain, Sicily, Anataolia, Balkans, etc from 8th century to 16th were not done mimicking Christians.
The m&d sultanates frequent raids into heathen orang asli villages for slaves and loots were also not done mimicking Christian. In fact, it took a British Christian, James Birch, to put an end to the moslem sultans' habit of attacking orang asli, which led to the sultan ordering the killing of the British Resident in his shower.
that's what happens when you choose to go to weapons. they invariable are turned against their wielder.
I find this part very, very sad. It alarms me too the loss of original cultural history. so sad
