Chinese-Muslim RSN Regular Allegedly Subjected To Mental Torture Through Racist Abuse, RSN And MINDEF Must Investigate

Admin,

Come across this ig post from a girl

instagram.com/p/6Z7AlsNxqO/

From what she say, her boyfriend is a chinese-muslim convert who is facing a lot of racist bullying on the ship he posted to as a navy regular.

The regular like lost because of the bullying. you read for yourself. guarantee darah up when u read.

I got to a point where enough is enough. How would you feel when your other half complains to you every single day, about the same thing over and over again? I kept on repeating “just endure for five years”. It’s easy for me to say as I’m not in his shoes.

My boyfriend is a regular from the Republic Of Singapore Navy (RSN).

The only Muslim onboard the ship. By being the only Muslim, he is often being discriminated for “betraying” his own race. Instead of calling him by his name, which is stated clearly on his name tag, several people onboard calls him “Muslim, Terrorist, ISIS, Malay, Mat or Kiao Tor (a derogatory term for Malays) etc”.

This has been ongoing for almost half a year since he was posted onboard the ship.

It started when a high ranking officer onboard the ship calls him by his religion instead of his own name.

There is a saying, “If the upper beams is not straight, the lower ones will go aslant”. To out in simpler words, if a leader sets a bad example, it will be followed by his subordinates and true enough, many of the lower ranking crews has started calling my boyfriend by racial or religious remarks.

To top that up, some have even made fun of his religion or made the effort to convince him to go against his religion. E.g – Just eat the pork la, Allah won’t see, Allah won’t know, Allah off day today. -.-? Drinking and eating in front of his face with the intention to disturb him while he’s fasting during ramadhan. Telling him that he is a real Muslim because he’s not circumcised yet. Thus, he’s able to drink,eat pork and all. – Muslims all terrorists, are you gonna bomb the ship? – Malay people are all poor. – Malay people like to steal.

There are other things that he mentioned and complained to me about.But, however, I’m unable to recall every single one of them. These are the few points which I could remember.

The Navy and Mindef must investigate this and punish all the people who bully this Muslim convert, how can they anyhow call him a terrorist and ask him to eat pork? so what he not yet circumcise?

Muis and Minister Yaacob must also give stern warning to everyone, any racist in Singapore will not be free. Navy already not so many Malays or Muslims but after this you think people still want to sign on?

Malaysian Education Minister Criticised For Blaming Christians

Newly-minted Education Minister Mahdzir Khalid has landed himself in hot water less than a month after assuming his position when he claimed the corruption allegations made by whistleblower portal Sarawak Report was an attempt by Christians and Jews to split Muslims.

The Council of Churches today said it was deeply concerned by what it said was an unfair statement.

“First of all, it is wrong to link us Christians with the Jews. Its highly misleading to even associate us with the Jews and worse still, to propose that we are in any way trying to split the Malays or any other group,” said Council of Churches secretary-general Hermen Shastri in a press statement today.

Shastri said such remarks coming from a minister have caused much anxiety in the Christian community and moderate Malaysians.

“He should be promoting national harmony and unity, instead of spewing ill-will and polarisation in our country,” he said.

“We therefore urge the minister to clarify his detrimental and divisive remarks and better still to apologise for making those obnoxious comments.

“He should not make false allegations as it is harmful and can be regarded as undermining national unity,” said Shastri.

Mahdzir, who is Umno supreme council member, had made the controversial remarks at the opening of Hulu Langat Umno division meeting last Sunday.

Jews, Christians to blame

In his speech, he claimed Sarawak Report, which had reported claims of misappropriation in state-owned 1MDB and the RM2.6 billion deposited into the prime minister’s personal bank accounts, was part of a Christian and Jewish conspiracy to split Muslims.

“The Jews and the Christians have pledged that as long as there is the moon and the stars, as long as the end of the world is not here yet, they will decide that Muhammad’s followers will be confused and split among themselves. This is the pledge of the Jews and Christians.

“And today, those who do things to us are not only from within the country, but from outside the country like Sarawak Report, which does not operate from Kuching,” he reportedly said.

Mahdzir was made a minister in a cabinet reshuffle last month, taking over the portfolio from former deputy prime minister Muhyiddin Yassin, who was removed from the cabinet for criticising Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak’s handling of 1MDB.

Muhyiddin later revealed he had also confronted Najib about the RM2.6 billion deposited into the latter’s personal bank accounts prior to his ouster.

Najib claimed the money was a political donation and was not corruption.

Most Malay Malaysians Identify Themselves As “Muslims First”

KUALA LUMPUR — Most Malay Malaysians identify themselves as “Muslims first” rather than Malaysians or Malays first, independent pollster Merdeka Centre said yesterday, amid rising religious conservatism in the country.

The centre’s executive director Ibrahim Suffian said its recent survey had found 60 per cent of Malays seeing themselves as being Muslim first, as opposed to 27 per cent who had identified themselves as Malaysians and only 6 per cent as Malays.

In contrast, only 3 per cent of Chinese and 16 per cent of Indians said they identified themselves by their religion, based on the survey, which he said would be published on Sept 5.

“Most Malaysians see themselves as Malaysians first, with the exception of the dominant group, Malays,” Mr Ibrahim told a discussion on the politics of race in Malaysia yesterday, organised by the Global Movement of Moderates.“Malays are increasingly identify themselves as Muslims first.”

He added that fewer Malays were identifying themselves by their ethnicity compared with 10 years ago, despite Barisan Nasional’s (BN) reliance on race to woo voters.

In 2005, 11 per cent of Malays polled by Merdeka Centre said they saw themselves as Malays first. This has now dropped to 6 per cent, said Mr Ibrahim.

Meanwhile, most Chinese (58 per cent) and Indians (63 per cent) saw themselves as Malaysians first, while 24 per cent Chinese and 11 per cent Indians identified themselves by their ethnicity, based on the latest survey.

“Future campaigning based on race will have a tough time convincing the electorate,” Mr Ibrahim said.

He added that Malaysia’s 2013 general election results already suggested Malaysians did not respond to race baiting. “If you look overall, BN still lost 4 per cent of the popular vote, so I think there’s a limit to how much racial rhetoric can be used.

“Maybe as many as 40 per cent of Malays don’t respond to Malay markers. They are more concerned with issues of good governance and what the government can do for them.”

He said Malay voter support for ruling party United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) improved only by 2 per cent during the last election, and that support figures were markedly lower among young Malay voters.

Meanwhile, opposition party Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS) gained 1.2 per cent more of the popular vote because of support from non-Malays, he added. “Malay support for PAS declined marginally by 1.3 per cent, mostly from (the states of) Perlis and Kedah,” he said. “This means its partnership with the Democratic Action Party did not substantially subtract support in locations such as Perak, Selangor or Johor.”
