    EDITOR’S NOTE

    Rilek1Corner would like to remind all our readers about the importance of observing good netiquette on the Internet, including on Rilek1Corner’s website, Twitter and Facebook Page. 

    Online posts are easy to dash off and virtually impossible to retract once published. Many people don’t realise the potential consequences of making fun of others especially public figures on social media such as Facebook and Twitter.

    Netiquette is important as it reflects your character when using the web, thus affects the first impression people have on you when they see you on the web. When posting something on the web, ensure that there is no vulgarities/obscenities/any inappropriate content as that would cause people to think you are uncivilized and uneducated.

    As Muslims and Malays, we are all well-known for being polite and courteous. Let’s continue to maintain our good image, shall we? 🙂

    If we ever have that strong itch to slam and say nasty words to someone, think again about what happened to our friend who became famous for the wrong reason, landed himself into big trouble with the law, and became unemployed overnight.

    Always think before you say something.

  • Who is the Pretty Biker Sergeant Nur Hafizah From Traffic Police?

    Sergeant (Sgt) Nur Hafizah is also another female officer with the Traffic Police Department who is passionate about helping others and fighting crime.

    The petite 23-year-old has always wanted to join the SPF since she was young, and as a fan of motorbikes, working with the Traffic Police Department was a dream come true for her.

    “I would like to clarify that Traffic Police officers don’t just give summons,” said Sgt Hafizah with a smile. Many of her friends did not know much about what Traffic Police officers do apart from issuing summons.

    Her regular duties include public education on road safety, managing road traffic accidents and of course, enforcing road traffic violations.

    Being a female rider, her first few months learning how to ride a motorbike were tough.

    “The bike is quite heavy and we had to do training under the hot sun. Sometimes, I felt like giving up but my instructors encouraged me a lot,” said Sgt Hafizah.

    Being smaller in size (both her Class 2B bike and her physical size), she sometimes gets defiant road users who might attempt to speed past her and appear hostile and aggressive when asked to stop.

    “Some think that women officers are more lenient and “weak”, so it’s important to know your laws, and my tone of voice will indicate to the road user that I am not to be trifled with as well,” said Sgt Hafizah.

    But being female also means she has more empathy.

    She remembers an incident where she saw a young child not properly secured in a vehicle and the father of the child appeared agitated with her male colleague.

    Sgt Hafizah then spoke gently to the child to explain the rationale of securing him to a seat and the dangers of failing to do so.

    The child then nodded in agreement and told his father “don’t be angry”.

    The situation was then resolved peacefully.

    This year, the Singapore Police Force celebrates 65 years of women in policing.

    There are 1,500 policewomen in active service and they make up about 17 per cent of the SPF.

  • Clarification on New Islamic Independent Body and Wear White Movement

    *READ THIS & THIS & THIS to KNOW WHAT HAPPENED EARLIER ON*

    Suggestions By Ustaz Noor Deros:

    In my discussions with many muslims about this issue I managed to gather some good suggestions, these are some of them :

    – Organise an easy, simple, yet clear and easily viral event such as WEAR WHITE DAY ON THE FIRST OF RAMADAN.

    Together with this, all/some of the mosque in Singapore – on the first of ramadan especially – should deliver a clear call to taubah, explaining the concept of fitrah, freedom & sexuality in Islam.

    In my opinion, this is the most viable, I and my friends will take this on, you are invited to lend a hand. Please contact me if you are interested.

    – Veterans and experienced Mega Maulid/Islamic Events organisers especially the lead and crowdpulling asatizahs should come together and organise a mega program on the first of ramadan, maybe a mega terawih session in a stadium. FOR THE LOVE OF THE PROPHET S.A.W. We will give our support.

    – Short videos stating our stand on this issue as Muslims living in Singapore. (This is a must)

    – Continuous series of talks and seminars on Islam and the LGBT. (Such programs have started, but we need more of it)

    – Talks on Islamic Worldview/ Islamic View of Existence. (This is the most important)

    Oh Muslims! Our amal ma’ruf nahi munkar is never and should never be restricted to only Muslims. If your non-muslim neighbour tries to kill an innocent life in front of you what do you do? Harm should not be restricted to physical, for we muslims strongly believe in the reality of spiritual harm.

    Oh Muslims! We have been fighting about petty issues for too long, Isn’t it high time for us to come together for something that is common between us?

    Come come! Let us all together make taubah!

    Scholars should make taubah of their muteness and inaction!

    Those who have fallen into the pit of LGBT lifestyle should make taubah of their transgression!

    Those of us who think that we are clean and are guarenteed salvation because we are religious, should make the most istighfar! For that is the worse kind of delusion!

    Welcome! Welcome oh ye month of Maghfirah!

  • Dr Mahatahir: If You Understand Your Religion, You Will Never Be Gay

    KUALA LUMPUR, June 4 — Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad suggested today that homosexuality would not exist if people were strong in their religious beliefs.

    The former prime minister said homosexuality is now prevalent because the gay and lesbian communities have been following their emotions and lust.

    “If you understand your religion, you will never be gay,” the 88-year-old said after a lecture in the International Islamic University Malaysia  here.

    “If you strengthen your faith, your iman, then you’ll never be gay,” he added.

    Dr Mahathir was answering a question by a student — a nephew of former New Straits Times group chief editor Datuk A. Kadir Jasin — who asked for a way to curb the spread of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) movement in Malaysia.

    Dr Mahathir said that one of the dangers posed by the LGBT community is that they cannot have children, despite religion prescribing sex as a way to procreate.

    “It is good that they are having gay marriages, very soon they will disappear,” Dr Mahathir added, referring to the Western world.

    Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak objected to the inclusion of LGBT rights when signing Asean’s first human rights charter in 2012, saying Malaysia could not accept principles that went against the order of human nature.

    In the same year, the Education Ministry was forced to deny endorsing any guideline on spotting homosexuality symptoms among schoolchildren, following its then deputy minister’s apparent support for a controversial list that has triggered widespread disapproval.

    Mohd Puad Zarkashi, who was the then-deputy education minister, also said in March last year that his ministry may look into extending a parenting seminar on how to curb LGBT activities, to all districts in order to reach out to a wider group.

    International news wire Reuters reported the federal government as acknowledging last year that it has been working to curb the homosexuality “problem” prevalent among Muslims who form 60 per cent of Malaysia’s 28 million population.

    Homosexuality in itself is not a crime in Malaysia but is taboo in the religiously-conservative society, including among followers of Islam.

    BAGAIKAN sudah jatuh ditimpa tangga.

    Sudahlah hati Encik Muhamad Nauruz Anang Abdulbar gundah memikirkan keadaan abangnya yang terlantar dalam keadaan kritikal di unit jagaan rapi (ICU) Hospital Sultanah Aminah di Johor Bahru.

    Cermin keretanya pula dipecahkan ketika beliau melawat abangnya itu di hospital tersebut baru-baru ini.

    Pegawai sumber manusia berusia 40 tahun itu telah meletakkan keretanya di tempat letak kereta di belakang bangunan hospital tersebut sekitar 12 tengah hari.

    Namun, ketika beliau hendak pulang selepas meluangkan masa bersama abangnya sehingga 6.30 petang, Encik Muhamad Nauruz terkejut mendapati cermin keretanya dipecahkan.

    Mujur, tiada apa yang dicuri daripada keretanya itu, namun beliau terpaksa membelanjakan lebih $800 untuk menggantikan cermin keretanya itu.
