Abstract

COVID-19 is a global pandemic (Jaihah) that brings hardships (Haraj). This has affected all aspects of our life. The United Nations Development Programme reported that uncertainties due to this global pandemic are manifold. Under a 'High Damage’ scenario, the world could see a staggering 251 million people driven into extreme poverty by the pandemic, bringing the total number to one billion by 2030. The Singapore government had made swift and comprehensive response by forming multi-ministry task force and galvanise various organisations, at all levels, including faith-based institutions to manage and address the multiple challenges in hands. This paper highlights the 3Rs approach adopted by the government through their policies, measures, and actions on various aspects of sustainability including climate and social changes and how the rest of the stakeholders come together for greater impact, with specific focus on the response from the Muslim community. 

 

 

COVID-19 adalah pandemik global (Jaihah) yang membawa kesusahan (Haraj). Ia telah mempengaruhi semua aspek kehidupan kita. Program Pembangunan Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu melaporkan bahawa ketidakpastian akibat wabak global ini berlipatkali ganda. Di bawah senario 'Kerosakan Tinggi', dunia boleh menyaksikan 251 juta orang didorong ke dalam kemiskinan tegar akibat wabak itu, menjadikan jumlah keseluruhannya kepada satu bilion menjelang 2030. Kerajaan Singapura telah bertindak pantas dan menyeluruh dengan membentuk tugas pelbagai kementerian,memaksa dan menggembleng pelbagai organisasi, di semua peringkat, termasuk institusi berasaskan keagamaan untuk mengurus dan menangani pelbagai cabaran dihadapi. Makalah ini menyoroti pendekatan 3R yang diadaptasi oleh pemerintah melalui polisi, langkah, dan tindakan mereka mengenai berbagai aspek termasuk perubahan iklim dan sosial dan bagaimana para pemangku kepentingan yang lain berkumpul untuk memberi impak yang lebih besar, dengan fokus khusus pada respons dari Komuniti Muslim.
