The Maintenance of Religious Harmony Act (MRHA), enacted in 1990, provides for powers to maintain religious harmony in Singapore based on two principles: (i) followers of different religions should exercise moderation and tolerance towards one another and their beliefs, and not instigate religious enmity or hatred; and (ii) religion and politics should be kept separate. In October 2019, amendments were made to the Act to strengthen the Government's ability to safeguard against and respond more effectively to threats to our religious harmony.

Under MRHA, religious groups will have to:

Comply with the following leadership requirements - (a) The President, Secretary and Treasurer (or their equivalent roles) have to be Singapore Citizens (SCs) or Singapore Permanent Residents (SPRs); and (b) the majority of the religious group's governing body have to be SCs.
Disclose to MHA, any single-time donation of SGD 10,000 or more if they are not from SCs or SPRs.
Declare to MHA the religious group's affiliation to foreign individuals or organizations, who/which are in a position to exert control over them.
