Since the 2000s, SGS is represented in the Inter-religious and Inter-racial Confidence Circles (IRCC) of Tampines West, Cashew, Radin Mas, Hong Kah North and Ayer Rajah-Gek Poh constituencies. The IRCC network provides opportunities for residents at the respective localities to engage in learning about each other’s faith and religious tradition.
Besides organising and participating in inter-faith dialogues and symposiums, SGS also participates in Inter-Religious Organisation initiatives to foster friendship and understanding amongst different faith organisations.
SGS is also committed to the Declaration on Religious Harmony that was introduced in July 2003. The spirit of the Declaration is regularly shared with the members at activities held to promote interfaith dialogue.
In a move to further safeguard religious harmony in Singapore, SGS has joined more than 250 key religious communities in the Commitment to Safeguard Religious Harmony in Singapore in 2019. The commitment is seen as an enhancement to the existing Declaration of Religious Harmony, in that it lays out specific ways for Singaporeans to interact with each other.
SGS has been participating actively in inter-faith activities in the local community, as part of our efforts to promote the understanding of different religious perspectives in this multi-cultural society of Singapore.
On 29 July, SGS Harmony Circle representatives attended the ASEAN Youth Forum and Interfaith Harmony Seminar organised by Jamiyah Singapore in conjunction with the inaugural Exemplary Interfaith Award 2023.
Over the past month, SGS representatives participated in various community engagements to further our friendships with cherished partners.
The 2nd International Conference on Cohesive Societies was held from 6 to 8 September 2022 in Singapore
