In this Act, a “Muslim religious school” means any of the following:
any person or organisation that habitually provides Islamic instruction to 10 or more individuals physically present in Singapore;
a place where 10 or more individuals physically present in Singapore are habitually provided with Islamic instruction;
in the case of a correspondence school where Islamic instruction is provided to 10 or more individuals physically present in Singapore — the place or places where the Islamic instruction is prepared or where answers are examined or corrected.
To avoid doubt, subsection (1) also applies where Islamic instruction is habitually provided online or remotely through electronic means.
In determining for the purposes of subsection (1) whether an individual is physically present in Singapore, it is to be assumed that the individual will not falsify or conceal the individual’s identity or location.
