    Indonesia Religious Affairs Minister: Men Become Corrupt To Appease Greedy Wives

    AN Indonesian minister has blamed women for the scourge of graft in the country, saying that men become corrupt due to the greed and materialistic nature of their wives.

    Minister of Religious Affairs Lukman Hakim Saifuddin said men were driven to make more money out of guilt for not being able to spend more time at home with their families, and this leads them to corrupt practices.

    “My message [to wives] is: do not demand excessively material things that are out of the ordinary, that would be an outstanding way for women to contribute,” Lukman said on Saturday as quoted in a report by Kompas which was translated by Coconuts Jakarta.

    Lukman said although corruption was influenced by many factors, extraordinary demands from a man’s family could be one reason for graft “to atone for their guilty feeling” which made them act outside the norms.

    “Often times corruption is motivated by many things. Among other things because there are extraordinary demands [from his family] so to atone for their guilty feeling, they act outside the norms,” said Lukman.

    According to the report in Coconuts Jakarta, Lukman’s predecessor, former Minister of Religious Affairs Suryadharma Ali, was recently sentenced to six years in jail for stealing billions of rupiah from the state’s haj fund.

    Indonesia’€™s rank in Transparency International’€™s Corruption Perception Index 2015 rose to 88th from 107th position in the previous year, but public opinion views corruption as pervasive as ever.

    Neo Swee Lin: Bukit Batok Sould Give Chee Soon Juan A Chance

    this year’s Life Theatre Awards theme was “Future Perfect”. Lim Kay Siu & I went dressed in SDP colours, because for us, a perfect future for our country would be one where there was more opposition in Parliament. I thought long and hard if this was the right platform for this. I think it is. What other platforms do we have? (what do YOU think?)

    As artists, we should stand up for what we believe in. I learnt from playing Soh Lung Teo in Cooling Off Day that everyone should be involved in politics, that we should be unafraid. Life, Art, Politics are all part of the human experience. I shed tears when I spoke to GoH Baey at the after-party, because I felt a little bit chastised. He was kind, but felt that this was not the right platform for what I did. I’m still not sure if he is right.

    All I know is, I am very passionate about my beliefs, and I hope that the voters in Bukit Batok will do the right thing. Be brave! You have a beautiful estate, I visit it often because my late mother’s ashes are interred in Bukit Batok, I am a stone’s throw away.

    I have no doubt Murali is a good man too, but now is the time to give Chee Soon Juan a chance. He will do good for you, I promise you. I believe in him. You should too. (please re-share if you like: nomination day is today!) ‪#‎nowisthetime‬

    Chee Soon Juan Counts On Local Celebrities Lim Kay Siu And Neo Swee Lin As Supporters

    Local celebrities Neo Swee Lin and Lim Kay Siu donned the SDP uniform when they attended the M1-Straits Times Life Theatre Awards 2016. They won best ensemble for their play HOTEL.

    They joined us at BB last night for coffee. Swee Lin’s father told me that he was a PAP grassroots leader for 25 years working with PAP MPs Ibrahim Othman and Lee Chiaw Meng.

    He left the outfit and has never supported any other party. Until now that is. He came wearing the SDP uniform. The SDP is honoured and grateful.

    Thank you, Swee Lin, Kay Siu and Uncle William.

  • Almakhazin: Islam, Christianity And The Foundation Of Secularism

    Almakhazin: Islam, Christianity And The Foundation Of Secularism

    Secularism, or the removal and/ or denial of religion in man, with the attendant focus on the present and material, is a product of Western civilization and the corruption of religious doctrine.

    Even though there are Muslims who promote secularism as their preferred political ideology, it is not part of Islamic worldview.

    In politics, it seeks the “desacralization of politics”, which is the removal of sacred legitimacy “of political power and authority” (16).

    Even though Islam does not view politics as sacred, its application of governance is different from the secularists’ view.

    Politics is not sacred since “Islam itself is based on Divine Authority and on the sacred authority of the Holy Prophet (may God bless and give him Peace!), which is no less than the reflection of God’s Authority, and on the authority of those who emulate his example.

    Thus every Muslim individually, and collectively as society and nation and as a Community (ummah) all deny to anyone, to any government and state, sacral legitimacy unless the person or the government or the state conforms with the practice of the Holy Prophet (may God bless and give him Peace!) and follows the injunctions of the Sacred Law revealed by God.” (29)

    Secularism is connected to Christianity and the corruption of Greek philosophy. It was however, not developed through the faith “but in the interpretation of biblical faith by Western man…” (18).

    Greek philosophy’s expansion to Rome and the move of the Christian centre from Jerusalem to Rome brought both ideologies together. The influence and confrontation between the two ideologies led to the removal of nature from Christian doctrine for a proclaimed “Kingdom of God”, which exists only in the supernatural world.

    “The outcome of this religio-philosophical confrontation was that Christian theology began to suppress the role of intelligence, and hence also the known of spiritual truth, and at the same time urged unquestioning faith through the exercise not of human intelligence and reason but sheer human will which made love the basis of faith” (31).

    Islam does not suggest such dichotomies. Reason, intellect and spirituality exists within the deen, “hence the understanding of spiritual realities is also within the province of reason and is not necessarily divorced from rational understanding of them” (32).

    The Shariah, or revealed law, is to be applied by man in this world, provided to him by his creator.

    It is the divine applied in our daily life.

    Secularism and its variations should not be part of our social, political or philosophical tradition. It is a corruption that seeks to corrupt.
