  • Intrinsic Value: Gold & Silver VS Cryptocurrencies

    Intrinsic Value: Gold & Silver VS Cryptocurrencies

    Where lies the intrinsic value (IV) of gold & silver? Natural Desirability, the desire for it is embedded in the nature of man, therefore, it will never lose value. Refer to Quran 3:14, & also to the fact that the nisab of our zakat is pegged to the items mentioned in that verse. As long as the pillar of Zakat still stands, their value will stay.

    What about the “IV” of the cryptocurrencies? Momentary hype, that is its “IV”, it’s artificial desirability will maybe last for a couple of decades before its hollowness is clearly seen, just like the case of its father, the Fiat.

    Unless someone can assure us with their life that cryptocurrencies will stay on, I may reconsider this position. If you yourself believe that one day (no matter when that day is) its desirability will vanish, you have admitted that it is a very very bad candidate for being an islamically accepted money & currency.

    2 Chinese Ladies Mixing Cutlery Between Halal And Non Halal Food At Kou Fu

    2 Chinese ladies were eating at Kou Fu opposite Sheng Siong at Tanglin Halt last 3 days.

    One was first eating the Indian stall roti prata with her fork and spoon from the Indian Muslim Stall. Her fren was eating bowls of PORK SOUP with bowl of rice, vegetables

    Suddenly when I turned to them, BOTH were happily fidgeting on the PORK MEAT trying to tear the PORK MEAT USING THE INDIAN MUSLIM FORK AND SPOON.

    SO i quickly told them off …

    ME: EXCUSE ME, ARE U EATING PORK MEAT SOUP?

    1ST LADY : Nodded her head and still continue tearing the pork meat from the bowl

    ME: Sorry do you know that the fork n spoon IS MEANT FOR HALAL STALL?O

    2nd lady: OH IS IT? (Pretending to be ignorant)

    ME: HOW DO U FEEL IF LETS SAY U ARE A BUDDHIST WHO DOESNT EAT BLOODY STUFF/FOOD AND U EAT THEM NOT FEELING GUILTY OF YOUR DOINGS???”

    1st lady: PUT DOWN HER FORK N SPOON TOOK TISSUE AND WIPED HER MOUTH WHILE THE OTHER PIGLET PRETEND NOTHING HAPPEN AND CONTINUE EATING MACAM BABI BODOH PUNYA ORANG !!!

    ME: YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU BOTH BRING SHAME TO OTHER CHINESE PEOPLE WHO DOES NOT RESPECT OTHER RELIGION!!! AND I WALKED OFF AND INSTRUSTED THE INDIAN MUSLIM OWNER TO WASH THE STAINED FORK N SPOON SEPERATELY

    SO, ALL OF U MY MUSLIM FBIANS, WHAT DO YOU THINK AFTER READING THIS STORY?

    HOW MANY OF U WILL DO LIKE WHAT I DID TO DEFEND ISLAM??

    DO UOLL THINK THAT MUIS SHOULD STEP UP TO EDUCATE THESE FUTURE SO CALLED IGNORANT PIGLETS SO THAT THEY DONT TAKE “HALAL FOOD, HALAL CUTLERIES AND ALL FOR GRANTED AT ESPECIALLY PUBLIC COFFEE SHOPS?

    A Malay CEO of Nakilat-Keppel Offshore And Marine

    Abu Bakar is the CEO of Nakilat-Keppel Offshore and Marine, a shipyard in Qatar. He never thought that he could rise to become a Chief Executive Officer given that he was a poly graduate.

    He attributed his success to the spirit of continued learning, passion and diligence.

    After graduating from SP, he had a head-start as an assistant safety officer with Keppel.

    Abu Bakar gradually moved up the ranks, working in other areas such as production and marketing to deepen his skills.

    Despite juggling with work, family and his National Service commitments, Abu Bakar sought to further his education, graduating with a Master of Business Administration, so that he could continue to learn and grow as an individual.

    In recognition of his zeal for lifelong learning and contributions to society, Abu Bakar was recently named Achiever of the Year by Malay daily Berita Harian.

  • Commentary: Singapore Government Is Wasting Taxpayers Money!

    Commentary: Singapore Government Is Wasting Taxpayers Money!

    Before the gov raise taxes and burden the citizens with higher cost of living, they should ensure that they curb their spending on superfluous items for their ministries.

    While Singaporeans grapple with high cost of living, unemployment, competition brought about by cheap labour, stagnating wages, homelessness, fulfilling 3 meals a day, our taxpayers monies are spent on –

    1. excessive cabinet ministers’ salaries

    2. Each ministry buying designer chairs. One chair costing as high as $650 each.

    3. Paying exorbitant consultancy fees for a bin centre

    4. Hosting of F1 spending millions just to put Singapore on the world map

    5. Military spending. Excessive procurement of equipment

    6. Bad investments that wiped out billions of tax payers money

    7. Spending hundred millions of dollars for foreign students to reside and study in Singapore and most of them ultimately leave the country breaking their bonds or after serving it.

    8. Bringing in Kai Kai and Jia Jia on 10 year loan, spending millions of dollars creating a suitable enclosure for the pandas while some of our people are homeless.

    9. MOM bought a computer system for $432 thousand but left it unused

    10. Building budget terminal only to demolish it 6 years later to make way for terminal 4. Short sighted planning cost tax payers in excess of $50 million

    So before the gov take the easy way out by raising taxes, kindly rectify in-house unnecessary leakages.
