Chinese Man Say Halal Certified Restaurant Food Taste like Dog Food

Dear R1C,

I am the regular customer of Halal certified restaurant Eighteen Chefs and I am deeply saddened by the comments of this guy called Roy Chuang. This sort of behaviour is totally uncalled for, and so ill-bred. Whatever happened, there’s absolutely no reason for the customer to do this. Uncouth and uncivilized. This restaurant is patronised by Muslims because it is halal certified restaurant. Does it mean that this Roy Chuang is labelling all Muslims have bad taste and eat food that taste like dog food!!

I have eaten food there every sunday and it always taste good with great service from the staff! Ban this animal from your restaurant Benny Se Teo! I just don’t know what is this Roy Chuang’s problem.

This is Roy Chuang’s personal Facebook and his Business Facebook Page.

The manager of Eighteen Chefs@Dhoby Ghaut, Mr Danny Teo has decided to investigate the incident:

I am the manager of Eighteen Chefs@Dhoby Ghaut. I am investigating and will speak to my staff. We at Eighteen Chefs always strive to do our best in terms of food quality and service. — with Benny Se Teo.

EDITOR’S NOTE

No matter how bad the food may taste, it is important that we always have table manners no matter where you are dining at, hawker centres or high class restaurants. Pouring the food on the table like what Roy Chuang did is definitely disrespectful not just to the restaurant but also to the customers.

Malaysian Football Fans Riot in Singapore

Dear R1C,

Fans of Johor Darul Takzim JDTFC turned violent and wanted to fight with the Singapore police. This was because they were so rowdy and violent even before the match started, and the Singapore police officers had no choice but to tell them they cannot enter the stadium to watch the match.

As a result JDTFC fans got angrier and aggressive. They accused the Singapore police for treating them like criminals. Over-reacting to the max.

Besides spewing vulgarities, they also provoked and threatened the police officers on duty. i fear the safety of our officers as they got really violent and angry. One of us overheard the Malaysian dude wanted to beat the Malay police officers if they ever come down to Johor. They will bring their Malay gang and beat up the officers on duty if they ever see their faces in JB.

As a Singaporean Malay, I am ashamed of these Malaysians who share the same race and religion. Islam doesn’t teach us to be violent. Singapore Football fans have always been harassed and threatened whenever there is a match between Singapore and Malaysia. Malaysian football fans always behave like animals.

I am glad our Singapore fans are friendly and happy bunch.

Fazlee Kader

EDITOR’S NOTE

Thank you Fazlee for submitting the second video where Football Association of Singapore were call Anjing (in Malay) or Dogs. True enough, Singaporeans are peaceful bunch who really know how enjoy watching football matches with no violence. That’s the Singapore Spirit.

Yaacob Ibrahim Warns SG Muslim Pilgrims of MERS Virus

SINGAPORE: Stick to guidelines put forward by the Ministry of Health (MOH) and the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS) about the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), said Minister-in-Charge of Muslim Affairs, Dr Yaacob Ibrahim.

Dr Yaacob was advising those headed to Saudi Arabia for the mini pilgrimage or umrah.

The guidelines include vaccination against common infections like the flu, and minimising interaction with live animals like camels.

“Ultimately, if you don’t feel well, and you feel this is not the right time for you to go, you may want to consider whether or not it’s the right time for you to go.

“We must not forget that this is not just about our health and our family, but the entire community. Because if you come back and you bring back the virus, you can affect other people here in Singapore. So there is a certain degree of responsibility,” said Dr Yaacob, who is also Communications and Information Minister.

He added that his other concern will be for the fasting period of Ramadan, when many pilgrims may want to spend the whole month in Saudi Arabia.

A few hundred Singaporeans will leave for Mecca on Sunday, after having secured visas from the Saudi authorities.

The vice president of the Muslim Travel Agents Association is currently in Saudi Arabia to appeal for 2,500 visas for Singapore pilgrims who have booked tour packages for next month.

Earlier this month, the visa application process for Singapore was momentarily slowed due to concerns about the large number of pilgrims in Mecca, while redevelopment work was in full swing.

Mr Agil Alkaff, one of the members of the Muslim Travel Agents Association and director of Hagel Travel, is now relieved, as most pilgrims under his care have received their visas to visit Mecca in the past few days.

Last week, he told them to be prepared to cancel their trip, if their visa application was rejected.

He is still waiting for 60 more applications to be approved.

Another travel agency, Shahidah Travel, is also relieved that 120 of its pilgrims are due to depart on Saturday after getting their visas.

However, another 300 of the agency’s clients are still without visas.

As a precautionary measure against the MERS virus, all Singapore pilgrims departing for Saudi Arabia have also taken up additional medical insurance, which includes coverage for all emergencies while in Saudi, as well as after their return to Singapore.
