Dormitory controller Centurion Corporation, which oversees about 35, 000 immigrant staff, most of them from India and Bangladesh, said it has a staff that is dedicated to managing situations across its nine Westlite hostels.

We review all our events that are taking place in our hostels, whether or not they are spiritual. We do include a method for that, according to dorm director Bakurdeen Majid.

We will contact the appropriate spiritual regulators if we hear about any requests for religious events or speeches to be held in our dormitories, he continued.

The technician facilitated close to 800 events last season, including rides, sports routines and mental health and wellbeing deals. &nbsp,

” In light of this new event, we may pay particular attention to new immigrants”, said Mr Bakurdeen.

We now informed our new hires that large groups are prohibited, and they should verify with us to see if anything theological is being practiced in the dorms.

Additionally, the operator makes sure that everyone assuming a spiritual position at its dormitories is checked.

According to Mr. Bakurdeen, residents who possess religious knowledge and educational credentials are vetted by the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore ( MUIS ).

Some of them are then permitted to serve as caliphs during Ramadan, as well as Hari Raya Haji and Puasa, during which time they are permitted to pray in dormitories.

The Singapore Bangladesh Society furthermore urged Bangladeshi staff to stay away from emails sent by what it refers to as “irresponsible loudspeakers.”

Calling the affair “upsetting”, it said those who attended the lecture might have been aware of the effects.
