  • Jumlah Melayu/Islam Yang Ke Klinik Lonjak Hingga 30% Selepas Seminggu Beraya

    Jumlah Melayu/Islam Yang Ke Klinik Lonjak Hingga 30% Selepas Seminggu Beraya

    Bilangan anggota masyarakat Melayu/Islam yang mendapatkan rawatan di klinik-klinik, melonjak antara 10 peratus hingga 30 peratus selepas seminggu berhari raya. Ini berbanding puratanya pada hari-hari biasa.

    Dalam perkataan lain, lebih ramai orang Melayu/Islam berjumpa doktor bagi penyakit seperti batuk, sakit tekak, selesema dan sakit perut, setelah lima atau tujuh hari berlebaran.

    Demikian pandangan para doktor perubatan yang ditinjau BERITAMediacorp berhubung fenomena ‘pasca Hari Raya’ itu.

    Selepas sebulan berpuasa yang merehatkan perut dan mengawal pemakanan, kemeriahan Hari Raya lazimnya disambut dengan pelbagai makanan dan juga minuman-minuman bergas dan manis-manis.

    Hari ini (14 Julai) sudah masuk minggu kedua bulan Syawal, namun nampaknya lebih ramai orang Melayu akan berhari raya pula di klinik-klinik.

    Dr Muhammad Iqbal Abdullah dari Senja Gateway Family Clinic berkata, bilangan anggota masyarakat Melayu/Islam yang mendapatkan rawatan di klinik-klinik selepas seminggu berhari raya, meningkat hampir 10 atau 20 peratus, iaitu lebih tinggi daripada biasa.

    Dr Saiful Nizam Subari dari MyHealth Medical Centre pula berkata, jumlah itu meningkat sekitar 10 peratus “kalau untuk minggu pertama.”

    Biasanya, menurut mereka, kes-kes itu berkaitan dengan jangkitan atau penyakit saluran pernafasan atas, dan juga berkaitan sakit perut seperti gastrik atau buang-buang air.

    DOKTOR: ELAK MAKAN MINUM SECARA TIDAK TERKAWAL

    Para doktor memberi amaran bahawa perbuatan makan minum secara tidak terkawal yang seolah-olah ‘balas dendam’ selepas sebulan berpuasa, dan perbuatan makan pelbagai macam juadah, serta ditambah dengan penat berhari raya hingga larut malam, boleh menjejas sistem kekebalan tubuh.

    Bahkan, jika pemerhatian Dr Saiful Nizam dijadikan sandaran, lebih ramai lagi orang Melayu/Islam diramal dibelenggu ‘sakit Hari Raya’ pada hari-hari mendatang.

    Kata beliau: “Biasanya saya menjangka untuk melihat kemuncaknya (jumlah pesakit) mungkin pada minggu kedua atau minggu ketiga selepas hari raya.

    “Jadi ini mungkin disebabkan oleh perbuatan kunjung mengunjung dan sebagainya, dan proses dan masa yang diperlukan untuk penyakit itu menular.”

    Dr Muhammad Iqbal pula melihat satu lagi trend, iaitu para pesakit lazimnya bersesak-sesak ke klinik pada hari Isnin dan Selasa selepas hujung minggu pertama Lebaran.

    Kata beliau: “Rumah terbuka diadakan pada hari Sabtu dan Ahad, jadi mereka mengunjungi 10 hingga 20 rumah setiap hari.

    “Jadi hari Isnin, mereka terus kena ciri birit, penat dan sebagainya. Jadi saya rasa itu sebab kebanyakan orang jatuh sakit pada hari Isnin. Dan juga kadang-kadang klinik tidak buka pada hari Ahad, jadi mereka hanya ke doktor pada hari Isnin.”

    GEJALA “OVER RAYA”

    Malah ada doktor yang menyifatkan gejala itu sebagai “over Raya” atau terlebih berHari Raya. Lantaran itu, mereka menggalak masyarakat supaya mengambil sikap berpada-pada.

    Walaupun para doktor akur pentingnya budaya kunjung mengunjung semasa Syawal, mereka juga menarik perhatian bahawa kegiatan seperti itu juga boleh menjadi kenderaan untuk ‘berkongsi’ penyakit.

    NASIHAT DOTOR: BERSIHKAN TANGAN, JUADAH SIHAT

    Jadi apakah yang boleh anda lakukan?

    Dr Saiful Nizam berkata: “Contohnya, semasa kita berjabat tangan, mungkin kalau kita nak cuci tangan di depan orang itu, kita tak selesa lah kan.

    “Tapi mungkin kita boleh berbuat sesuatu. Cuci tangan pakai steril yang mungkin kita boleh gunakan selepas kita keluar daripada rumah itu dan sebagainya.”

    Ditanya harapan beliau tentang antara huraian kepada fenomena ‘pasca Hari Raya’ ini, Dr Iqbal pula berkata, antara lain masyarakat perlu menyajikan lebih banyak juadah sihat semasa Hari Raya.

    “Sepatutnya lebih ramai penyedia makanan yang memberikan masakan-masakan yang lebih berkhasiat yang kurang gula dan kurang lemaknya. Saya rasa lebih banyaklah penyedia yang harus menyediakan juadah-juadah ini,” kata beliau.

    Pendek kata, pilihan untuk tidak ‘beraya’ dengan doktor di klinik, terletak di tangan yang empunya diri.

  • A Story On The First Day Of Syawal

    A Story On The First Day Of Syawal

    A CONVERSATION ON THE FIRST OF SHAWWAL

    ISYAK: They came for me at the Masjid every night in Ramadhan… every night! I really thought they came for me. And I only realised I was wrong when our guest Mr Tarawih told me that they came for him and not me. I mean.. come on.. Im wajib and he’s sunnat..

    MAGHRIB: Me too bro… they were anxiously waiting for me to come every evening! They actually memorised my arrival time man! I was so happy until Mr Iftar told me they were waiting for him and not me.

    SUBUH: You guys should be thankful… They only came for me in the Masjid in the last 10 nights of Ramadhan. I thought they came for me but realised I was wrong when Mr Laylatul Qadr told me they came for him. And the saddest part was yesterday on 1st Shawwal. So many came although they were late. So many of them came. It was more than the numbers who came for Mr Jumaat. And then I realised they came for Mr Eid. Not me.

    LAYLATUL QADR: And those who knew my story, they only came on 5 of the odd nights, not 10. Imagine if Allah had revealed to them my actual date!

  • Muslim Mother And Daughter Pair Attacked With Egg Because Of Hijab

    Muslim Mother And Daughter Pair Attacked With Egg Because Of Hijab

    “My mom is the most kindhearted, loving, and selfless person you’ll ever meet. She has a great amount of pride and respect for her religion, culture, and customs.

    The fact that she can’t walk out of her home without feeling safe is sickening.

    Tonight a couple of guys stalked her out of our local Walmart and attacked her with blows to her head and body with eggs.

    The reason they thought it was necessary to attack her and my little sister was because they were wearing a hijab.

    I am at loss for words due to the immense amount of hate that is in this world. No one should have to see their mom broken because of a couple of people having disgusting prejudices about people that do not look like them.”

  • Eid As A Struggling Single Twenty Something

    Eid As A Struggling Single Twenty Something

    As a child, I used to love celebrating Eid. I dreaded the fasting month of Ramadhan but I looked forward to new clothes, eating scrumptious rendang and ketupat, and of course, for many Asian kids – the collection of green packets filled with dollar dollar bills. Apart from visiting close relatives on the first day of Eid, you get to spend another day in Syawal with your closest friends from school visiting their houses.

    It was kinda cool to bring your friends over when you were ten years old, dressed in the traditional baju kurung going around the neighbourhood and coming home at the end of the day with your bag bursting with green packets. You would know which house gave the envelope, and if you get at least $5 from that house, you’re definitely going back there again the year after.

    As I grew older, however, the enjoyment of Eid started to fade away. At fifteen, I despised celebrating Eidulfitri. Eidulftri would be torturous for me since I had to appeased my newly divorced parents – I couldn’t spend more than 2 hours at my dad’s place or I’ll never hear the end of my mum’s wrath. My sisters were busy with their own families, making sure they visit the in-laws before making their way to my mum’s. And for some reason, you start not liking your relatives. I remember bursting out at my sister for coming so late int the afternoon and my make up was already ruined from the frustration of waiting around. The first day of Eid as a hormonal teenager was basically me playing the waiting game.

    Eid started to change as I entered my twenties. While it was still as boring as when I was a teenager, I began to prepare the house the house willingly. I bought flowers, new cushion covers, and occasionally curtains to slowly make the house into a home. I volunteered help in the kitchen, making sure I picked up my mum’s recipes to her signature Eid dishes and perfecting them. I made cookies and sweet treats to offer to the guests coming over to my place and made sure there were all sorts of drinks available for them.

    As much as I wish Eid is better now as I enter my mid-twenties, I realised that an awkward Eid is a common predicament between peers of my age. Perhaps it’s the having to part with copious amounts of money during the festive period – spending for the house and family, green packets for the little ones, awkward conversations with aunts and uncles who seem to nitpick on every aspect of your life. Or maybe it has got to do with spending Eid as a single woman, wondering when you’d be able to prepare for Eid excitedly for your kids and husband. Whatever the reason is, Eid as a struggling single twenty something is just plain boring.

    I make do with baking cookies, cakes and occasionally help my mum prepare the traditional dishes we feast on the morning of Eid. House chores like literally scrubbing the floors get my mind off the fact that each Eid is the same as before – lonesome and boring. I try getting away from celebrating Eid by going to work, but I feel bad for my mum. Though to be honest, I’m quite happy working while everyone else celebrates.

    One day, I’ll wake up on the morning of Eid excited to head to the mosque, dress my family up and head out for the rounds of visiting. One day, I’ll learn to appreciate the merry-making and spamming of family photos on Facebook and Instagram. One day, I’ll teach my daughter how to prepare the raya dishes and get my son to wash the windows and fix the curtains up. One day, I’ll be on my knees on the morning of Eid, with my head buried in my husband’s hand, asking for forgiveness and perhaps shedding a tear or two.

    One day, that happy family portrait of mine will be hung on my wall just in time for Eid.

    For now, I’ll be contented with spending the morning of Eid at home, with a cup of coffee and a bowl of lontong, watching reruns of Bujang Lapok on the telly with my three cats.

    Eid Mubarak everyone.

  • SG Chinese Girl: Everyone Should Experience Celebrating Aidilftri For The First Time

    SG Chinese Girl: Everyone Should Experience Celebrating Aidilftri For The First Time

    TOO BEAUTIFUL!!!

    Here is an account from an “SG Muslims for Eid” participant who identifies as a non-religious Chinese Singaporean celebrating Eid for the first time!!!

    “I saw a very pretty poster on Facebook inviting non-Muslims into Muslim homes during Eid. I signed up out of curiosity, a desire to eat good food and be amongst joyful people in celebration.

    Soon I was warmly welcomed into the home of a young couple Dhaniah and Haider. About 160 friends and relatives from both sides were expected that day, some of them even they themselves have never met before. The spectrum of their friends and relatives range wide, from lawyer types to makciks who practice yoga to media types to pakciks who have done the full Haj 4 times (and Umra countless times) to a young wife who is fully clothed from head to toe. Dhaniah’s side of the family look very Chinese and are musically talented. They were actually jamming and recording music as the celebrations went on. And then there’s me, a non-religious Chinese blonde-dyed short-haired woman from the arts and media. Everyone is gentle and accepting of each other.

    Despite the sheer number of relatives and friends who came pouring in and out of their home, Dhaniah and Haider managed to make me feel just at home. They introduced me to everyone who came, and everyone happily answered any questions I had about their customs and practices, particularly about the Haj. I’m most curious and fascinated with this epic pilgrimage. A lot of them went way out of their way to make me feel appreciated for my curiosity.

    I was most touched by their devotion towards their personal faith, and also their close-knittedness within their families and community. One of the boys kissed my hand even though he was super shy. That’s just the cutest thing ever! I didn’t tell him, but I was blushing inside too 😛

    I don’t belong to any particular faith but most of my friends do. Now is as good a time as any to learn and appreciate the part of them that I’m not familiar with. I find it timely for such interfaith learning and appreciation especially in such times of conflicts and misunderstanding around the world. Only when we feel connected will we remember that our core similarities outweigh superficial differences.

    The curiosity isn’t one way. Dhaniah and Haider had a lot of questions about my secular meditation practice and they’re very eager to try it out. They’re eager to visit my home even though I told them my home is very boring. I don’t even have a TV! I’ve made some good friends and had a lovely afternoon in a house full of warmth and love (not to mention 2 very cute rabbits). I thank all the organizers of SG Muslims for Eid and especially Dhaniah and Haider for their warm hospitality. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who is interested. ”
