About Exchange with Southeast Asian Muslim Youth — Talk with Muslims series (TAMU)

Exchange with Southeast Asian Muslim Youth — Talk with Muslims series (TAMU) is an annual programme organised by The Japan Foundation Asia Center since 2016.

This programme began with an aim to develop a better understanding of Islam in Japan by bringing together Muslims intellectuals from Southeast Asia, including Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia, Thailand and Japanese youths who are engaging in and studying social welfare, community empowerment, and socio-religious affairs into a dialogue, to discover each other's cultures, religions, and values.

In 2016, Mr. Goh Muhammad Redhuan, a Project Officer and Research Assistant at Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS), was invited to represent Singapore, and In 2017, it was Mr. Muhammad Ashraf Anwar, a Field Officer at MUIS. Last year, two Singaporeans — Ms. Faizah Bte Mohd Salihin and Mr. Mohamad Saiful Bin Md Anuar, with the assistance of Association of Muslim Professionals (AMP), joined the programme from 4 to 13 November.
