A little about us...

In brief, this is a self-help Singapore Malay/Muslim Group (SMG) based in United Arab Emirates (UAE). Our sole existence is aimed at creating an amicable social environment particularly for Singaporean Malay/Muslim working and living in UAE. Affiliated to Singapore Business Council (a registered Dubai based association), our social activities emphasised 4 core objectives of:

1. Creating social support network
2. Promote enrichment activities for members
3. Explore business opportunities
4. Provide information on employment in UAE

SMG is an entity that provides advisory services and facilitation for Singaporean Malay/Muslim expatriates living in UAE as well as those in Singapore who wish to gather information relating to employment and living in UAE. We promote social interactions and unity by organizing various social events including professional workshops and forums for self improvement. We are moving towards promoting entrepreneurial spirits through formation of small enterprise and cooperative among members. While we are not a recruitment agency, we facilitate advisory information to those who seek employment in UAE.

Our motivation as volunteers is for the sake of "amal jariah" by facilitating and enriching the life of Singaporean Malays/Muslims working and living away from our beloved homeland, Singapore.
