The Singapore Mosques Korban Committee says there is a likelihood that the korban might not be held at mosques this year.

The korban ritual where livestock is sacrificed is held on Hari Raya Haji which falls on the 26th of next month.

The Committee says the Australian authorities have yet to approve the application for 16 mosques audited in April and July as being in compliance with its Exporter Supply Chain Assurance System .

It advises muslims to make alternative arrangements for korban to be performed overseas should they wish to, if the mosques dont get the approval.

Livestock for the ritual is typically imported from Australia.
