Activist Gilbert Goh's Love Aid S'pore charity must register with Palestinian Authority, doesn't need S'pore govt endorsement
He is also advised to do proper due diligence on a proposed partner.
Singapore's Love Aid Singapore (LAS), a charity founded by activist Gilbert Goh, must register with the Palestinian Authority's Ministry of Interior (MOI) if it conducts humanitarian operations in the West Bank and Gaza, according to a joint statement released by the Ministry of Culture, Community & Youth (MCCY), Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), and Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA).
The government clarified that LAS would not need backing from the Singapore government as part of the registration process. The clarification came after a meeting between Goh and the Office of the Commissioner of Charities (COC) on September 21, following Goh's request for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' (MFA) endorsement to assist LAS in registering as a non-governmental organization in Gaza.
