As for Imam Nalla, in his farewell message to community leaders, he said this was a priceless lesson on how Singaporeans treasure diversity and harmony and he had no right to attempt to agitate them. He shared that Law Minister Shanmugam assured him that even a man found guilty by the Courts will still be embraced by society so long he realises and repents from mistakes.
"I am filled with utmost envy and respect for this nation", Imam Nalla said.
