* Errata

• In the publication The Next Decade: Strengthening the Community’s Architecture, the line “However, there has been a slight decline in the percentage of Malay students passing both PSLE English and Mathematics over the last ten years.” is inaccurate. It should be “However, there has been a slight decline in the percentage of Malay students scoring A* to C in PSLE English and Mathematics over the last ten years.”
• Additionally, Graph 1 on the same page shows the green line labelled as “Passed English PSLE” and the blue line labelled as “Passed Math PSLE”. This is inaccurate. The green line should be labelled as “Scored A* to C for English PSLE” while the blue line should be labelled as “Scored A* to C for Math PSLE”.

AMP organised its fourth decennial convention of Singapore Muslim professionals on Saturday, 15 October 2022 at MAX Atria at the Singapore EXPO. The Convention gathered some 500 professionals, practitioners, and activists to discuss strategies and ideate solutions for issues of concern to the Muslim community in Singapore. The event also featured a dialogue session with Guest of Honour, Mr Lawrence Wong, then Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, and moderated by Mr Hazni Aris, Chairman of the Convention Steering Committee. They were also joined by Dr Mohamad Maliki Osman, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office, Second Minister for Education and Second Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Dr Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim, Minister of State, Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of National Development.

Taking on a different approach from previous conventions, the Convention adopted a human-centred design thinking approach which looked at issues from the perspective of four personas pertinent to the long-term development of the community, namely youths, community advocates, families and seniors. Four panels looking into these personas were established, comprising professionals from different backgrounds to lend their expertise in identifying issues that concern these personas and to facilitate the ideation process for strategies and solutions to these issues. The event followed three years of planning and preparation work involving multiple research studies, strategic conversations and ideation exercises organised since 2020.

The issues and challenges faced by the community from the lens of these four personas were robustly discussed, while solutions to these challenges were ideated and recorded in the post-Convention journal below.
