    Biography

    Ambassador Mohammad Alami Musa is Adjunct Senior Fellow at RSIS. He is concurrently Singapore’s non-resident Ambassador to the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria. Amb Alami also holds the appointment of President of MUIS Council (Islamic Religious Council of Singapore) and Singapore’s Honorary Business Representative for Middle East and North Africa.

    As a keen observer of Muslim development in multi-cultural societies, he was deeply involved in the Singapore Muslim Identity project, conceptualising, developing, writing and presenting seminars about the issue of identity of minority Muslim community in a secular, multi-religious and culturally diverse society.  He is an active promoter of positive inter religious relations in Singapore and the region. He was involved in the research on Islam and its relations with other religions and the Religious Other. Regionally, Amb Alami was instrumental to  start up efforts to promote Inter-Religious Relations.
