BADAN KHAIRAT KEMATIAN – MALAY MUSLIM MUTUAL BENEFIT ORGANISATION

 

NHB (Khairat Kita) mendokumentasikan beberapa Pertubuhan Faedah Bersama Melayu/Islam terakhir yang memberikan bantuan dan pertolongan kepada keluarga ahli yang meninggal dunia. Badan-badan khairat kematian Melayu/Islam ini adalah badan sukarelawan yang telah memimpin masyarakat berdasarkan tradisi berabad-abad iaitu prinsip tolong menolong. Setiap ahli akan memberi sejumlah wang kecil untuk membina dana untuk memberi bantuan kepada ahli-ahli sekiranya berlaku musibah.

Badan khairat kematian Melayu/Islam adalah pengukuh masyarakat dan penjaga warisan budaya tidak ketara dalam masyarakat Melayu/Islam Singapura. Dengan hanya kira-kira 20 pertubuhan sebegini yang tinggal, kemerosotan keanggotaan dan penuaan anggota jawatankuasa, masa depan kelihatan tidak menentu bagi badan-badan ini. Apakah masa depan badan sukarelawan ini di bawah Akta Pertubuhan Faedah Bersama (Cap 191)?

NHB (Khairat Kita) documents the last few remaining organisations providing aid and benefits to their deceased member’s family. Known as badan khairat kematian, these are volunteer, community-led initiatives based on a centuries-old tradition of mutual aid. Everyone pitches in a small amount towards an accumulated pool of money to aid fellow members in the event of unforeseen circumstances.

Khairat kematian organisations are social anchors in the community and custodians of intangible cultural heritage in Singapore’s Malay/Muslim community. With around 20 such organisations left, declining membership and ageing committee members, the future looks uncertain for these Malay/Muslim Mutual Benefit Organisations (MMBO). What is the future of these volunteer organisations under the Mutual Benefit Organisation Act (Cap 191)?
