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.

Maliki Osman: Community Engagement Key To Combating ISIS Rhetoric

A memorial event was held for the victims of the Paris terror attacks at Ba’alwie Mosque this evening (Nov 29), to “demonstrate solidarity not only among ourselves, but also with our friends from around the world”, said Senior Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Defence Maliki Osman.

The event was attended by French Ambassador to Singapore Benjamin Dubertret and representatives of various religious organisations in Singapore.

In a speech at the event, Dr Maliki said the stories of the 130 victims that emerged in the wake of the attack on Nov 13 “only remind us how vibrant each and every one of their lives was, and how each victim mattered to their family and friends”.

Singapore, he said, is not immune to the threat of terrorism and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Measures are in place to address this threat, including legislation to take action against terrorists. “However, the centrepiece of our strategy is our community engagement programme, where we progressively build a strong network of trust among our different racial and religious communities. We cannot allow mistrust and enmity to be sowed between us, which would play to the objectives of the terrorists,” said Dr Maliki.

Singaporeans must be vigilant in looking out for one another, while the Muslim community has also shown that “the answer to violence committed in the name of religion is often found within religion itself”.

Malay/Muslim organisations have held forums to warn of the recruitment efforts of militant groups in Syria, while the Mufti of Singapore and other religious scholars have warned against ISIS’ rhetoric.

“Their message is clear — terrorism has no place in Islam. There must be a clear distinction drawn between Islam as a religion of peace and Islam that has been politicised as a radical and inhumane excuse for terrorism,” said Dr Maliki.

Addressing the leaders of the different faiths present yesterday, Dr Mailki said their roles were more important than ever, when people need a “strong moral compass”.

“While we may not be immune to terrorism, we have the resolve to face and overcome the threat,” he said.

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.

Amos Yee: Islam Sucks!

So since AllSingaporeStuff shared my blog post about my thoughts on calvin cheng, and preferred to a use a more provocative headline of ‘FUCK ISLAM AND ALLAH DOESN’T EXIST’ (probably the most provocative line there) to generate more views, as opposed to a more accurate one (they presented the blog post not as an explanation of how calvin cheng sucked, but as if it were a thesis condemning islam, seriously AllSingaporeStuff, what the fuck? You once admitted your mistake that you were manipulative cunts, but that doesn’t mean you should do it again) I have obviously gained condemnation from the dumb muslim community in singapore. and like mecca itself, the islamics seem to have lots of sand in their vaginas too, because the number of stupid death threats I got is voluminous. But don’t mind them, they do after all follow a sky wizard and a pedophile prophet.

And why are people shocked that I despise islam? I think it’s quite obvious for an advocate of logic such as myself, that I hate all organised religions, christians are cunts, buddhists are delusional, taoists are just plain stupid and islam is absolutely fucking horrible; It’s always a mental debate on my part, which do I hate more? Christians, islam or meat-eaters.

And of course not all islamics are extremists like isis (though I don’t think I ever implied that), but if islamics did really follow the core tenants of the quran (quran (8:65) – “O Prophet, exhort the believers to fight…” , quran (9:29) – “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, ), they really should be, otherwise they’re not really obedient followers of allah though they claim that they are (fortunately for an atheist, I don’t have the burden of all these contradictions and bullshit, sad for religious pricks…. awww…)

I would like to make a blog post or video condemning islam, but I have other priorities at the moment, but thankfully there are many such videos already available on the internet, like this one from one of my favourite Youtubers, CultOfDusty.

It’s not as extensive as a video that I would make (A heavily-scripted and edited video, not a virgin casanova episode(though sometimes(and probably more in subsequent episodes(or non-related word)) it happens there too)), but it provides a succinct enough argument to prove that islam is retarded, and if you watch more of his videos, you’ll be even more convinced of their idiocy, so I recommend you do (This is the kind of content I watched throughout my secondary school that was strong enough for me to counter the incessant conditioning of the government and be liberated from being a conservative cunt pap dog (If you like dusty, you would also really love other great atheist youtubers like the amazing atheist, jaclyn glenn and cristina rad).

And I’m thinking, if this guy from America, the land of guns, hasn’t been killed, then I wouldn’t be, singapore is after all a very safe country, ain’t it? HAHAHAHA!! (Don’t ever be afraid of criticising stupidity, especially if it concerns islam and they threaten violence on you if you do, such people should be viciously condemned. You have the 0.01% chance of getting beaten up and the 0.00001% chance of getting killed. Is it worth it? Of course it is).

So calvin cheng sucks, pap sucks, and now so does islam, and really every other religion, and they should all be vehemently mocked to prevent stupidity from spreading, and society can improve. Have fun!

Eighteen Chefs Owner Benny Se Teo: Non-Muslim Customers Must Respect Restaurant’s Halal Status

Call me proud , arrogant or whatever … if you insist on bringing in “Non – Halal” food and consume in my restaurants i will show you the way out !!!
I might lose some customers but my Halal status must never be compromise . ‪#‎sibehtulan‬

Complain :
Darren Chua Hi, I’m a loyal customer of 18 chefs and have been patronizing their branches, the ones I commonly go to are the one at NEX and AMK hub, I must say that they have superb service. However, today was my first time going to the branch at Bugis, and I am really truly disappointed by the service there.

Today, on the 26th November 2015, my friends and I were eating at 18 chefs really happily and all, despite the long wait, we were glad that we could find seats. We were about to celebrate our friend’s birthday and we took out a cake (from chocolate origins) to eat it.

Yes, 18 chefs is a halal restaurant, but the cake from chocolate origin is halal but not certified. I understand that by consuming it there it could be inappropriate and spark unhappiness. However, how the staff a handled the situation was really a shocker to me. There was a Muslim lady that approached is first, I didn’t get her name, but she handled it well, we told her we were apologetic, and since we already ate the cake (Without even using your utensils but with tissues and our hands), we would clear it and leave immediately, which we were doing, until a man (assumingly the manager, a rather plum man in his thirties perhaps) made my experience with 18 chefs today a horrid and disappointing one.

He came up to us and told us, “You know you shouldn’t be eating this here.” My friends told him that we were sorry and are already cleaning up, he stopped is halfway and told crossed his arms and said, ‘no.’ No explanation, no listening, just a big no. We tried to explain that we didn’t know and wanted to apologize sincerely, as our Muslim friends were also eating the cake, we thought it was perfectly fine, but he just raised his voice and said no. I got a tad bit angry with receiving such disgusting service from a shop that I really enjoy having my meal at, told him, ‘okay, your staff told us to ask for permission in the future and to clear it immediately and leave. And that’s what we are doing.’ He came up closer than he already is to the table and just said “No.” Again, even louder, practically screaming in our faces. 16 of us, having a meal at 18 chefs, trying to enjoy a birthday celebration, to be ruined by nothing but a no.

I really do understand and am honestly apologetic on the behalf of my friends for being so ignorant and bringing something that isn’t halal into your restaurant. However, I am really disappointed and very sure I’m never going to eat at the branch in Bugis as I really am disappointed and ashamed by such crude behavior displayed by a manager. If that’s how a manager treats their customer by saying no and with no explanation or patience I think that the other service staff is going to be worse. Having a sign that perhaps say ‘ask for permission before brining any outside food or drinks.’ Or ‘outside food and drinks are strictly not prohibited.’ Would be good enough compared to a no.

I strongly feel that we deserve a proper explanation or perhaps and apology for having to experience something that is rather traumatizing from a well known brand for their excellent service. Once again, truly disappointed by that man’s rude, boisterous and monosyllabic attitude and response and I sincerely hope that you can educate your staff members more and such incidents to ever happen again. I do not want to tell my friends ‘No.’ (With no explanation at all) when they ask if I would like to eat at 18 chef in the future. Thank you and I hope you can get back to me.

Sincerely,
Darren Chua
