History and role


MUIS was established in 1968 when the Administration of Muslim Law Act (AMLA) came into effect.


The principal functions of MUIS are:[3]



  • Administration of Muslim affairs e.g. zakat, wakaf (endowment), pilgrimage affairs, and halal certification

  • Construction and administration of mosques development and management

  • Administration of Madrasah and Islamic education

  • Issuance of fatwas (religious rulings)

  • Provision of financial relief to poor and needy Muslims


Under AMLA, MUIS is a statutory board of the Singapore Government. It comes under the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth,[4] and under the direct supervision of the Minister-In-Charge of Muslim Affairs.


Its primary statutory role is to advise the President of Singapore on all Islamic matters as well as the religious interests and issues faced by the Muslim Community in Singapore.



The Council of MUIS


The Council of MUIS operates as the overall decision-making body and has responsibility for the formulation of policies and operational plans.


The Council comprises the President of MUIS, the Mufti of Singapore, persons recommended by the Minister-in-Charge of Muslim Affairs and other persons nominated by Muslim organisations. The President of Singapore appoints all members of the Council.


As of 2013[update] Haji Mohd Alami Musa serves as President of MUIS and Dr Mohamed Fatris bin Bakaram as the Mufti of Singapore.[5]

Halal Certifications


Main article: Halal certification in Singapore

The MUIS Halal services formally started in 1978. The move to set up its Halal Certification Strategic Unit was driven by the increasing demand for Halal-certified products and eating establishments, as well as the need to regulate the Halal industry.


In 2009, Muis certified more than 2,600 premises and has played an important role as the custodian of Halal food assurance for Singapore’s 15% Muslim population. Furthermore, the promising Halal food industry with the availability of many Halal-certified eating establishments has helped to foster social interaction between individuals from diverse racial, cultural and religious backgrounds.[6]

Dulmage-Mendelsohn matrix decomposition in Python

Image
0 Matlab has a function called dmperm that computes the so-called Dulmage–Mendelsohn decomposition of a n x n matrix. From wikipedia, the Dulmage–Mendelsohn is a partition of the vertices of a bipartite graph into subsets, with the property that two adjacent vertices belong to the same subset if and only if they are paired with each other in a perfect matching of the graph. Looking both on scipy and numpy, I could not find this function, nor some similar version. Is it possible to implement it using basic linear algebra operations? Any idea if this is implemented in some Python package? python matlab linear-algebra graph-theory matrix-decomposition share | improve this question
