MUIS Dekati Ibu Bapa Demi Bantu Anak-Anak Tangani Radikalisme Di Media Sosial

MAJLIS Ugama Islam Singapura (Muis) bakal mendekati ibu bapa untuk memberi panduan kepada mereka bagaimana membantu anak mereka dalam mengendali radikalisme di media sosial.

Langkah terbaru Muis itu bakal diperkasa dengan menganjurkan sebuah seminar keibubapaan bagi menyediakan wadah kepada ibu bapa dalam menggunakan media sosial sebagai alat meningkatkan pembelajaran.

Ibu bapa juga bakal dibekalkan sebuah buku panduan bertajuk ‘Resilient Families: Safeguarding Against Radicalisation’ (Keluarga Berdaya Tahan: Berlindung dari Radikalisme).

Menurut jurucakap Muis, buku panduan ini julung kali diterbitkan Pejabat Mufti dalam usaha mempersiap dan memperkasa ibu bapa membimbing kanak-kanak menggunakan media sosial dengan selamat.

Seminar keibubapaan yang akan dianjurkan Sabtu ini bertajuk Parenting IRL (In Real Life)*: Raising The Snapchat Generation atau Keibubapaan (Dalam Hidup Sebenar): Membesarkan Generasi Snapchat.

Seminar dan buku panduan itu juga bertujuan menyedarkan ibu bapa tentang cabaran dalam percambahan media sosial dalam masyarakat hari ini.

Menurut jurucakap Muis, peranti elektronik yang menghubungkan mereka ke Internet digunakan secara meluas hari ini. Sesetengah anak mula menggunakan peranti sedemikian pada usia yang terlalu muda.

Bagi kanak-kanak dan remaja, media sosial menyediakan platform bagi mereka meneroka dunia maya melalui permainan dan interaksi. Ini mendedahkan mereka kepada pelbagai risiko.

Netizens Lash Out At Woman Who Suggested The Lower Income Should Not Give Birth To Too Many Children

A lady by the name of Syazwani decided to post her rant on Facebook regarding family planning in Malaysia. In her rant, she even backed it up with a couple of research articles as she wanted to spread an intellectual advice to others.

She said, “You know your husband’s income is RM800-RM1000, then don’t give birth to so many children until 5-6 kids la. Until you trouble yourself, until you don’t even have money for food and drinks. Then, you blame the government.” “In these times, if your pay is below RM1000, it is only enough to sustain one child. No need to make a whole team of children. Be smart in planning (on having) children.”

To ensure that people truly understand her message, she even broke down the cost of living with only RM1000 as income. House: RM400 Transportation: RM200 (perhaps only a motorbike) Water and Electricity Bills: RM200 Total so far: RM800 Remaining: Only RM200 Syazwani, who is a Economics degree holder, goes on to explain this is why many people only eat rice and budu without other side dishes. “It is burdensome for a person with RM1000 salary to share food with 7 other people.”

The Universiti Sains Malaysia graduate even included what the possible negative outcome of this life quality could bring. 1. More robbery or stealing cases because it is difficult to find proper income. 2. Children grow up in unhealthy conditions due to lack of nutrition as their diet is not according to the food pyramid. 3. Too many (negative) social cases because there isn’t enough time to too many children.

To further validate her message, she added steps to solving this problem. 1. Government should implement a ONE child to ONE family law. 2. Control your lust or consume birth control pills 3. If you want many children then find a better paying job before doing so, so that later it is easier to bring them up. 4. Do two jobs. 5. Wife has to work too. The young graduate also mentioned some typical methods used in family planning such as Intrauterine Contraceptive Device (IUCD), condoms, birth control or contraceptive pills, etc.

Although there were some who agreed to her post, shockingly, most netizens disagreed with her, even to the point of calling her ideas stupid and backwards. A lot more others started to spread hate towards her. “What a stupid woman. Did she put her brains in her butt or what?” “Talk without using your brains!” One very angry man even condemned her intelligence, while many others criticised her for saying such statements because she is not married. “You memang don’t have brains. Your parents sent you to study so that you’ll be intelligent in both religion and knowledge in this world. But you put your intelligence beneath your feet, bodoh.” Not sure about you but her statement makes a lot of sense to me.

Normal Americans Show Solidarity With Muslim Neighbours In Face Of Donald Trump

Today in front of our mosque, the Islamic Center of San Diego, we saw these two men, one with his son and the other with his daughter, holding up signs in support of the Muslim community.

My girls were very touched by this and we decided to pick something up for them and go back to thank them in person. We opted for a gift for the kids and drove back to the mosque to give it to them. I asked if they were with a faith based group or were there representing an organization and they said, “No, we’re just a couple of friends who want to make sure everyone in our city feels welcomed.”

While we spoke with them, other people came up to them with cookies, gatorade and other refreshments they had purchased from the mosque store. The feeling of brotherhood and sisterhood on that street corner was tangible.

Despite what we might see on the news, there is still much goodness in our world–I am very hopeful. I pray such feelings of unity spread throughout our nation and across our world.

Myanmar Army Fires On Rohingya Villages In Rakhine Region

State media say two soldiers and six attackers died in clashes after an ambush on troops, which led to air support being called in.

There are reports of villages burning in the northern region of Rakhine.

Photos released by Human Rights Watch seem to show charred villages, with the group reporting 430 burnt buildings.

The satellite photos were taken between 22 October and 10 November, following reports of fighting and civilians fleeing last month.

Rohingya activists say the government is trying systematically to drive the Muslim minority from their villages.

Attacking the Rohingya is a popular move for the military, the BBC’s Jonah Fisher reports from Myanmar’s largest city, Yangon.

They are disliked by many, if not most, Burmese who consider them illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, our correspondent says.

Media barred

The latest outbreak in fighting was triggered by an attack on three police checkpoints just over a month ago.

The Burmese government is not allowing independent journalists into Rakhine, so it is impossible to verify claims about the scale of the fighting.

According to the latest official statement on Saturday, troops were ambushed and then clashed several times with armed men, presumably Rohingya Muslims, equipped with guns, knives and spears.

At one point, when faced by about 500 men, the soldiers called in air support and two helicopter gunships fired on the Rohingya village.

Casualty figures vary widely, our correspondent says.

Brad Adams, the Asia director for Human Rights Watch, said the new photos showed “widespread destruction” that was “greater than we first thought”.

“Burmese authorities should promptly establish a UN-assisted investigation as a first step toward ensuring justice and security for the victims,” he said.

The government – led by Aung San Suu Kyi – talks of “clearance operations” as part of the search for the attackers.

Trump Seru Henti Ganggu Golongan Minoriti, Umum Tidak Akan Terima Gaji Presiden

Donald Trump dalam wawancara televisyennya yang pertama sebagai bakal Presiden cuba menenangkan rakyat Amerika yang bimbang beliau akan mengambil tindakan terhadap masyarakat minoriti.

Pada masa yang sama, Encik Trump memberi jaminan kepada para penyokongnya bahawa beliau tidak akan mengecewakan mereka dalam hal hak menggunakan senjata api, menggugurkan bayi atau imigresen.

Bakal Presiden Amerika Syarikat itu – yang kemenangan mengejutnya dalam pilihan raya mencetuskan bantahan selama berhari-hari – memberitahu para penunjuk perasaan bahawa mereka tidak ada sebab untuk bimbang tentang tempoh beliau sebagai pemimpin negara itu.

“Jangan takut. Kami akan mengembalikan negara kami,” katanya dalam wawancara bersama rancangan ’60 Minutes’ di CBS.

TRUMP “SEDIH” MINORITI JADI SASARAN

Encik Trump berkata beliau “sedih” dengan laporan-laporan bahawa insiden-insiden mengganggu dan menakut-nakutkan masyarakat minoriti melonjak sejak beliau dipilih sebagai presiden – dan menyeru agar ia dihentikan.

“Saya tidak suka mendengar tentangnya. Saya sangat sedih mendengarnya. Jika ini membantu, saya akan katakannya, dan saya akan katakannya kepada kamera: Hentikannya,” kata Encik Trump apabila ditanya tentang lapoan-laporan tersebut.

Jutaan orang dijangka menonton ’60 Minutes’ untuk mendapat tahu bagaimana hartawan itu akan mentadbir negara, dan sejauh manakah beliau berniat untuk menukar slogan-slogan kempennya menjadi dasar negara.

Encik Trump memberi isyarat jelas tentang beberapa isu kepada para pengundinya.

Beliau mengesahkan rancangan untuk secara agresif menghantar pulang atau memenjarakan sehingga tiga juta pendatang haram – mereka yang mempunyai rekod jenayah.

Encik Trump juga berdiri teguh dengan ikrarnya untuk membina tembok di sempadan Mexico.

Beliau juga memberi isyarat tidak akan cuba mengubah undang-undang yang membolehkan perkahwinan sama jenis di Amerika Syarikat.

Encik Trump turut berkata beliau tidak akan menerima gaji AS$400,000 (S$566,000) yang diberikan kepada presiden Amerika Syarikat.

“Saya tidak akan ambil gaji ini. Saya rasa menurut undang-undang, saya harus ambil AS$1, jadi saya akan ambil AS$1 setiap tahun,” katanya.
