One of the beauty of Singapore that I cherish is this contrast of religions side by side. On the left is Buddhist monastery. On the right is a Hindu temple. Not in frame but close by is a mosque on the opposite side of the land lot beside the train tracks. Living harmoniously. May we all be reminded of the peace we enjoy in the backdrop of a volatile world.

2025 was an eventful year. Many things happened. But one constant kept me stable. Family. My children especially are my strength. Without them, I won’t be able to do anything. They make me a better person. I wasn’t expecting to return to Singapore in 2025. But Allah’s plan is always timely.

2026… Bismillah. Majulah.

On Wednesday, .social were announced by as a community partner. We would be receiving membership to DBCS and would finally put us on the path for formality and proper governance. Under the terms of the agreement, we would receive mentorship and secretariat support from DBCS, along with legal cover to manage undertakings and contracts with 3rd parties. As an advisor to this community, I am proud and happy for the co-founders Min Li and Sidd for having come this far. As part of the TechSG network, we are excited for what is to come next.

Gracing the event was President of Singapore .sg who gave out trophies to the SG Mark and SEED Award winners, and without his support, the Singapore Design Community would not be where it is today. Thank you sir for your support.

Selamat Hari Raya Haji. عيد الأضحى المبارك. Eid Mubarak. 宰牲节快乐. ஈத் அல்-அதா வாழ்த்துக்கள்

It’s a little late as we decided to spend the holiday in Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah and our focus was on the kids and on God. It was the kids first time in Nabawi. We brought them to prayers and let them drink zamzam. They enjoyed spending time in the masjid Alhamdulillah.

The holiday is epicentered around Prophet Abraham, which is an important figure in all the Abrahamic religions. The Hajj itself symbolises the struggles of Prophet Abraham, and the sacrifices he made out of his devotion to Allah. The Arabs treat this holiday with higher veneration. Its week long holiday is holy enough that takbeer is done for days as opposed to the one day in Eid-ul-fitr.

And sacrifice is what we should really contemplate on this holy day. You may be going through a harder time. But Allah never burdens more than one can bear. May you gain stronger grit, willpower and victory on this day. And may all your sins be forgiven.

Appreciate if you can vote at the bottom to see if people bother about Thaipusam.

Recently, a new team has taken over the Football Association of Singapore. My friend Syed Faris, the leader of SingaBrigade, National Captain Hariss Harun, and CEO of Sea, Forrest Li, are the new leaders of Singapore Football.

I've written about how we could improve our football before. Here. I submit my updated proposal for critique and I would like to hear from football people like Harris, Fandi Ahmad Official and Baihakki Khaizan what they think.

Ideas to make football better for Singapore
