Passing through Türkiye on my way to the ASEAN-Russia Commemorative Summit. The Blue Mosque provides a fitting backdrop as Muslims in Singapore welcome Muharram, the first month of the Islamic New Year tonight. The start of a new year is a time for reflection and renewal, and an opportunity to look ahead with hope and purpose. Wishing all Muslims in Singapore a blessed New Hijri Year. May the year ahead bring peace, progress and continued blessings to you and your families. Selamat menyambut Awal Muharram kepada semua umat Islam di Singapura. Semoga tahun ini membuka lembaran baharu yang penuh harapan, kedamaian dan keberkatan. ( 📸 : shomus uddin via Getty Images)
