Myself and my 3 girls have undergone female circumcision. My son was circumcised too.
For my girls, basically the SKIN tip of the clitoris, a tiny 1mm worth was clipped by the female Muslim paediatrician in a clinic. In fact I was the one holding my babies’ legs open cos whatever medical procedures concerning my children, I insist to be present and ensure it is carried out right. All 3 girls, same doctor.
Female circumcision in Spore is NOT genital mutilation as described by AWARE. The clitoris is NOT deformed or reduced. The labia is NOT cut NOT sewn shut. Everything looks normal and pretty down there huhu. And as a paramedic, midwife trained and also doula in Spore, I have SEEN many Sporean/foreigner private parts, circumcised and not. The difference, if any, is negligible.
I also assure you, my libido and sexual abilities are healthy and not deficient in any manner due to circumcision. If any other person has suffered, perhaps it WAS wrongly done or that person has mental/emotional issues concerning sex/has suffered a form of sexual abuse. Which I don’t hv. Neither have my girls.
In Islam, female circumcision is NOT mandatory. I chose to do it for the benefit of my children. So do your research and make your own decision concerning your children. AWARE is an org I neither endorse nor respect after their recent fiasco of accusing a person of promoting family violence without proper investigation.
I urge BBC to interview midwives and doctors in KKWCH, NUH, SGH and other hospitals with gynae/obstetric facilities. Do a proper investigation of ‘female genital mutilation’ among the Malays before naming it as such. Before you produce a baseless crappy article submitted from AWARE.
Be AWARE of these ‘Muslims’ and the ‘liberal’ ideology spread and accepted due to the lack of religious knowledge in our community. Go back to your basics and learn your religion from MUIS and PERGAS teachers. And Allah knows best.
