After close to two decades of knowing Associate Professor Faishal Ibrahim personally, even before our temple was established, I have come to know him not just as a political office holder, but as a man deeply committed to serving others.
I still remember his days in Kaki Bukit, where he often handled more than 90 cases during Meet-the-People Sessions. It was not uncommon for him and his team to work late into the night, patiently helping residents resolve their issues. Even then, it was clear that he always carried a genuine heart for the people he served.
Over the years, our paths have crossed on many occasions. In 2024, he honoured us as the Guest of Honour at our 9th Anniversary Dinner. More recently, he graced the unveiling of the newly renovated PEHAKS premises, a project that we were privileged to support.
Among the many politicians I have met, Faishal stands out as one of the most grounded, humble and sincere individuals. His dedication to public service never wavered. Even during difficult personal times, including the passing of his father a few years ago, he continued to place his responsibilities and the needs of others before himself.
On many occasions, he stood by us, offered valuable advice, and extended his support whenever needed. For that, I will always be grateful.
It is with regret that I see him leave politics. I believe he still has much to contribute and many more lives to touch in the years ahead. Nevertheless, when a chapter comes to an end, and a new one begins.
On behalf of myself and the Tao One and Tian Fu Gong Bai Long Wang family, I thank Associate Professor Faishal Ibrahim for his friendship, support and years of dedicated service to Singapore and its people.
I wish him every success, happiness and fulfilment as he embarks on the next chapter of his journey. Assoc Prof Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim
