  "account": "The Singapore government has launched a new M³+ Directory aimed at making programmes, services, and opportunities more accessible to the Malay-Muslim community. Speaking at the launch, Acting Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Zaqy Mohamad emphasized the importance of working together to support the community, stating that the goal is not merely to create more programs, but to effectively combine the right strengths at the right time for individuals and families.\n\nZaqy outlined his vision for a confident, resilient, and united Malay-Muslim community, grounded in four values: Iman (faith and values), Ilmu (learning and progress), Ihsan (caring for others and contributing to society), and Identiti (confidence in one's identity). He highlighted the development of the Singapore College of Islamic Studies, an upcoming milestone in Muslim community progress, and the Langkah Digital initiative, which equips individuals with digital and AI skills.\n\nThe M³+ Directory, led by AMP Singapore and PPIS, will provide residents with easier access to a range of programmes, services, and opportunities across the M³+ network. In addition, new community initiatives such as CiptaSama@M³+ will be introduced to encourage collaboration between the community, government, Muslim organizations, and other partners in co-creating solutions to improve the community's progress and future.",
