  • Pemerintah Harus Melarang Madonna Dari Membuat Persembahan Di Singapura

    Pemerintah Harus Melarang Madonna Dari Membuat Persembahan Di Singapura

    Tuan Yaacob Ibrahim,

    Saya baca dengan amat prihatin terhadap berita akhbar Straits Times pada tarikh 29 Nov 2015 mengenai rancangan bagi penyanyi terkemuka, Madonna untuk mengadakan konsert di Singapura Februari depan. Pernampilan Madonna di dalam konsert-konsert sebelumnya agak keterlaluan, dengan pakaian yang menonjol mata, dan aksi-aksi yang tidak sesuai hingga boleh dikatakan amat lucah. Dia pernah dilarang membuat konsert di Singapura pada tahun 90an, mengikut akhbar Straits Times kerana persembahannya bercanggah dengan ajaran Islam. Persembahan Madonna tidak banyak berubah walaupun telah dimakan masa, beliau masih terus manyajikan bahan bahan kontroversial di dalam persembahannya. Madonna juga adalah penyokong kuat LGBT.

    Dengan penyanyi Adam Lambert, yang sah mengaku dirinya sebagai seorang LGBT, dijemput sebagai tetamu khas di perayaan akhir tahun Singapura, tidakkah kehadiran Madonna akan menambah lagi anasir-anasir yang kurang sihat di kalangan belia-belia Islam di Singapura, yang masih mudah dipengaruhi minda mereka?

    Sebagai Menteri Bertanggungjawab bagi hal ehwal Islam, anda bertanggungjawab untuk melindungi kepentingan masysrakat Islam di Singapura.  Jadi saya amat berharap yang Madonna tidak akan diberi kelulusan untuk mebuat persembahan di sini, seperti mana yang dilakukan oleh pihak kerjaan pada tahun 90an. Masayrakat Singapura amnya, dan masyarakat Islam Singapura khususnya, harus dilindungi dari anasir barat yang kurang sihat, seperti kaum LGBT dan konsert-konsert yang menampilkan aksi lucah.

    Sebagai seorang Muslim yang bertanggungjawab, kita semua perlu memainkan peranan untuk membentuk belia yang bermoral dan kuat pegangan agama, bukan belia yang menyokong anasir anasir buruk.

    Wasalam,

    Syed

  • Organisers Of Miss/Mrs Asian International 2015 Singapore Must Review Their Objectives, Educate Malay/Muslim Public With Correct Moral Values

    Organisers Of Miss/Mrs Asian International 2015 Singapore Must Review Their Objectives, Educate Malay/Muslim Public With Correct Moral Values

    Nowadays many people want to be a pageant organiser but never really understand what is the purpose for and the right ethics. Especially when it comes to the Malay community. The organiser of this particular pageant called Ms/Mrs Asian International 2015, should take into consideration of their contestant not to expose her unsightly tattoo (see right-most contestant seated at front row).

    Of course for the newer generation, tattoo is a form of art but it can be an issue among the Malay’s community. What exactly does the organiser is trying to portray for muslim married women out of this Ms/Mrs Asian International 2015 when their contestants are all Malays and few are with hijabs.

    And also by the pageant title Ms/Mrs Asian International, what will other contestants and their supporters from other regions would possibly think?

    This is not to condemn any of the the contestants. It is to highlight the responsibility of the organiser of this pageant to reflect on their objectives and to build awareness as in to educate the right moral values for our Malay married women and our young Malay’s community.

  • Muslim Convert Says Wahhabism Is A Threat To Singapore

    Muslim Convert Says Wahhabism Is A Threat To Singapore

    Normally, when I get posts or comments that I deem disrespectful, I delete them. But in the case of the recent ruckus about Ismail Menk, I will leave them. And there is a reason for this. We need to build a solid case that Wahhabism is dangerous to Singapore’s social cohesion and religious harmony. And what better way than to have the very people who support Ismail Menk, Zakir Naik and all these Wahhabis show us exactly what they have learned.

    According to the students and lovers of ‘Mufti’ Menk, I have learned, on my Wall, that Shi’ah are kafir, that Sufis are deviant, Christians will burn in Hell, Jews are all Zionists, and there is a kuffar conspiracy by the Singapore government against Muslims. I have learnt from students and lovers of ‘Mufti’ Menk that Shaykh Nazhim (a.s.) is ‘Snake Nazim’, that Habib ‘Ali al-Jifri and Habib ‘Umar al-Hafizh are actually Shi’ah. And of course, there is the litany of takfir of many more actual Sunni scholars, both overseas and in Singapore.

    This proves exactly my point, that Wahhbaism is not just kufr, but it is dangerous to the fabric of Singapore. It is a threat to national security. It is no coincidence that Jamaah Islamiyya, Al Qaeda, ISIS, and every major ‘Muslim’ group is Wahhabi. And allowing this ideology to be propagated actually creates a pool of people who are sympathetic to extremist causes in our community.

  • Cancer Patient Thought Her Insurance Agent-Friend Had Her Fully Covered, She Was Wrong

    Cancer Patient Thought Her Insurance Agent-Friend Had Her Fully Covered, She Was Wrong

    Colon cancer patient Lily Ng, 62, had a rude shock when her insurer AIA Singapore offered to pay only a fraction – or $75,000 – of her hospitalisation claim of $320,000.

    AIA alleged that she failed to state her diabetic condition when she upgraded her AIA hospitalisation plan two years ago. All consumers have a duty to disclose information that will affect insurance terms.

    Madam Ng bought an AIA HealthShield Gold Max C plan – which covers hospitalisation in B1 wards in government hospitals on an as-charged basis – in 2000. Back then, she was not diabetic, but developed the condition about five years ago.

    Two years ago, her AIA agent and friend of 30 years recommended that she upgrade to an AIA HealthShield Gold Max A plan, together with a rider, to enjoy first-dollar coverage for future private hospitalisation bills. The upgrade was confirmed in January last year. The annual premium for the plan is $2,790.

    With that assurance, Madam Ng was warded at Mount Elizabeth Hospital in April this year when she was diagnosed with colon cancer, racking up $320,000 in hospitalisation bills. She was in and out of hospital between April and September.

    Amid the trauma of undergoing operations and cancer treatment, she had a double whammy when AIA informed her that it would reimburse her only $75,000 based on the terms of her previous C plan.

    AIA had rejected her claim under her upgraded A plan because it alleged that Madam Ng failed to disclose that she has diabetes when she completed her “Change Form” document to effect the upgrade.

    Madam Ng said: “I was very stressed and angry. I paid for the upgraded policy and did not get the coverage that I paid for. I was at a loss on how my bills would be settled. It is a huge sum.”

    The family complained to the insurer and then to the authorities.

    During the claims investigation process, AIA later learnt that the agent was the one who completed the form and provided false information which was not given by Madam Ng.

    She had been unable to check whether the information given by the agent on her behalf was correct as she is not literate in English.

    Madam Ng recalled that she had even asked her agent whether she needed to go for a medical test as part of the upgrade, but was told it was unnecessary.

    The agent had asked her to sign the “Change Form” document but failed to run through the document thoroughly with her, including obtaining her answers for three health-related questions.

    Instead, the agent had ticked “no” to each of them, indicating that Madam Ng had no medical issues.

    Last month, AIA approved Madam Ng’s claim of $320,000 on the grounds that the agent had not “adhered to AIA’s standards” and said that it has taken disciplinary action against her.

    When contacted, AIA said that protecting its customers’ interests is a top priority.

    AIA said: “We have a zero-tolerance policy with regard to misconduct by our AIA financial services consultants and expect them to adhere to the highest ethical and industry standards. We have carried out a review and taken the necessary disciplinary action for this isolated case.

    “AIA encourages policyholders to go through the necessary forms with their representatives to ensure that all information is accurate and complete. This will help to avoid any subsequent complications.”

    The insurer added that it will continue to enhance its internal procedures and forms where relevant, to ensure that policyholders’ interests are always safeguarded.

    It declined to give details on how the agent had been penalised.

  • Certis Cisco Warden Didn’t Want To Do His Job, Refused To Issue Summons To Illegally Parked Vehicles At My Flat

    Certis Cisco Warden Didn’t Want To Do His Job, Refused To Issue Summons To Illegally Parked Vehicles At My Flat

    I was on my way to work this morning and i caught a few vehicles parking illegally in No Parking Area, Double yellow lines and Season Parking Lots underneath my flat located in 668 Chander Road.

    I managed to get hold of one of Certis Cisco Wardens that were deployed there but he refused to summon those vehicles claiming those lots are under the charge of his colleague.

    He then tried to leave the scene with his motorbike without issuing any summon.

    Attached are the photos of those vehicles illegally parked in bke 1 and the warden involved and the licence plate of his motorbike.
