SINGAPORE - Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong today announced that starting in November, Muslim nurses in the public healthcare sector in the republic will be allowed to wear a ‘tudung’ (hijab) with their uniforms, if they wish to.“I hope this decision will be accepted by all parties with the right spirit, in an effort to strengthen our shared commitment to Singapore’s multiracial and multi-religious community,” Lee partly said while delivering his National Day Rally (NDR) English Speech 2021 here today.“We are making a careful adjustment to keep our racial and religious harmony in good order. This approach has worked well for us for many years.
