Members of the public have raised at least S$208,000 for refugees who have had to flee their homes in Myanmar’s Rakhine state to Bangladesh for their safety.
In a media release on Tuesday (Sep 26), the Rahmatan Lil Alamin (Blessings to All) Foundation (RLAF) said it began raising funds on Sep 9 in collaboration with 70 mosques across Singapore. It added that contributions from 32 mosques are still being tallied.
