Clause 75
Majlis to be trustee
(1)
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any written instrument, the Majlis shall administer all mosques in Singapore and every mosque, together with any immovable property on which it stands or appurtenant thereto and used for the purposes thereof, other than State land, shall without any conveyance, assignment or transfer whatever vest in the Majlis for the purposes of this Act.
(2)
The trustees of any mosque under any written instrument shall, subject to the provisions of this Act, manage the mosque but the Majlis shall have power to appoint mutawallis and for such purpose to remove any existing trustees where it appears to the Majlis —
that the mosque has been mismanaged;
there are no trustees appointed for the management of the mosque; or
it would be otherwise to the advantage of the mosque to appoint a mutawalli.
(3)
The Majlis may at any time remove any mutawalli appointed by it and appoint another in his place.
