From February, Muslims in Singapore will once again be able to register for the haj, three years after applications were suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Singapore is allocated 900 places for the annual pilgrimage in 2023, equivalent to its quota before the pandemic, the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis) said on Monday.
Registration for the haj can be done online through the new MyHajSG portal from Feb 21.
The online registration system, which can be accessed using Singpass, will remove the need for prospective pilgrims to register in person, Muis noted.
MyHajSG aims to make it easier for pilgrims here to manage their haj applications, said Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Masagos Zulkifli in a Facebook post on Monday.

Bitcoin miners pivot to South-east Asia after China crackdown
The 6.9ha cement slab in the middle of a Borneo industrial area once belonged to a logging company. Long ago, that business abandoned the site to the elements, leaving just rudimentary structures and a four-storey concrete birdhouse made to lure swiftlets whose nests, built with saliva, fetch high prices in China.
