  • Chef Bob Has Amazing Neighbour – Taoist Neighbour Asked Permission To Carry Out Prayers And Burn Incense

    Chef Bob Has Amazing Neighbour – Taoist Neighbour Asked Permission To Carry Out Prayers And Burn Incense

    I am blessed to have the best and amazing neighbour ever!

    Yesterday she asked for my permission: “Eh Ah Bob ah!!! Malam ini gua mau sembahyang lu tau? Gua letak balang-balang depan lumah gua. Gua mau bakar balang. Boleh ah?”

    In English:Ce
    “Bob, tonight I need to do my prayers. I’m placing an altar infront of my house and burn incense. Can?”

    Subhan’Allah.
    She definitely do not need to inform me yet alone ask for my permission to do that but yet she did. I love you lah aunty!!!! 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘. Should I have said cannot, I’ll be the biggest jerk-ass in Pasir Ris. But by now you all already know that yours truly is a lover, not a fighter right? 😁😁

    The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
    “If anyone is pleased to love God and His Messenger or to have God and His Messenger love him, he should speak the truth when he says anything, fulfill his trust when he is put in a position of authority and be a good neighbor.” – Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 1289

    So me corazon, be good to your neighbours, to everyone and anyone. No matter if they are good to you or not. We need to be the “bigger” person and show kindness and compassion.
    Love begets love.
    Respect begets respect.
    Hate begets hate.

    One Love. 😘

  • The Hypocrisy Of Racism And Multiracialism In Singapore

    The Hypocrisy Of Racism And Multiracialism In Singapore

    *when an old man hurls racist insults at a Malay lady*

    ‘Oh, this is a one-off incident. This should be condemned, but it is not reflective of our society at all.’

    *when madrasah kids are labeled extremists*

    ‘Oh, that is just one sick dude’s comments. Ignore him.’

    *when building a fence is suggested to cordon off foreign workers*

    ‘You must understand the context of the post. She is not racist; in fact, she gets along with the foreign workers in her ward very well!’

    *when an influential person remarks that Malays and Indians cannot speak English well*

    ‘His comments were taken out of context. Let us not be so quick to judge others.’

    *when racist, xenophobic and Islamophobic comments are made (on Facebook) on the comments sections of ST articles*

    ‘Those are just keyboard warriors. Who hide behind anonymity. Most Singaporeans are not like that.’

    ———

    *when there is one incident of Malays at a wedding standing up for a Chinese funeral procession that was passing by*

    ‘This is what makes Singapore, Singapore. *tears a bit* I love this country. Multiracialism, at its best. Majulah Singapura!’

  • Quora Users Justify Unfair Discrimination Of Muslims In Armed Forces

    Quora Users Justify Unfair Discrimination Of Muslims In Armed Forces

    Responding to a question, ‘Why are there no Muslims in some sectors of Singapore Army and Navy?’, several Quora users have supported the Singapore Armed Forces’ perceived bias against Malays and Muslims.

    The following are excerpts from some of the most upvoted answers.

    “There are no muslims on the RSN’s ships or submarine. Actually there are no personnel that have strict dietary requirements on board. So if you have nut allergies, gluten allergies or very strict diet, you will not be posted to a ship.

    Why? Imagine the ship is deployed far from home. Say it heads to an Australian port to replenish resources. How easy is to obtain all halal ingredients? Not easy. And if you are very strict, once the kitchen is used for non-halal ingredient, it cannot produce halal food anymore.

    You may say it’s possible. But only during peacetime. If you are in combat, you can’t go pick and choose what food you want.” – Rhys Cheng

    “…while I don’t agree, I do understand the logic behind the practice. National defense is perhaps the most serious matter a government must handle, and there is a tradeoff between security and freedom. I can understand the government not wanting to take chances, especially since it’s very hard to tell who can be trusted and who cannot.” – Daniel Tan

    “Having Malay/Muslims in the sensitive sectors of the SAF will compromise our ability to defend Singapore. Here, many people think that we do not trust our Malays/Muslims, while the others are not given the same level of scrutiny. Many will also think we are implying Malay/Muslims are be prone to radicalisation, which is plain discriminatory. There is at least a grain truth in the assertions, and they are sufficient for SAF to justify the policy. Once again, this is for the sake of defending Singapore.” – Anonymous

    “We need to stop the smuggling of arms and other ingredients of terror attacks from entering our borders. Nor can we afford to allow hostile personnel to reach our shores. Homegrown terrorism is another issue altogether, and it cannot be denied that Muslims, and therefore Malays in Singapore, are the key targets of radicalisation efforts. As such, the same reason Malays (and Muslims today) are excluded from sensitive vocations remains valid.” – Anonymous

    In April last year, Dr Ng Eng Hen, the Defence Minister said that the “Singapore Armed Forces’ (SAF) operational concerns must come first and individual needs sometimes must (be) subsumed under that.”

    Dr Ng was responding to a parliamentary question from an opposition MP, Faisal Manap, who had asked on the lack of halal food onboard ships in the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN). Mr Faisal suggested that this deprived Muslim men from serving in RSN ships.

    Reacting to the exchange in Parliament , lawyer and former Director of the Association of Muslim Professionals, Mr Nizam Ismail said:

    “It gets tenuous when the justification for what is essentially a discriminatory practice is on the non availability of a halal kitchen.

    Please, there are many ways to resolve this. It’s not rocket science.

    If the issue is still one of distrust of a Malay Singaporean son in defending his country, then say it as it is.

    The fact remains that there is an under-representation of Malay NSmen in several “sensitive” positions of the SAF, RSAF and RSN.

    And an over-representation of Malay NSmen in the SCDF and SPF.

    And a significant portion of Madrasah boys are not called up for NS.

    Or space for halal kitchen.

    This has nothing to do with food.

    It’s tragic that we are still debating this after 50 years of independence.

    If you truly believe in multiculturalism, there must be no space for discrimination.

    If you truly believe in multiculturalism, there must be inclusivity and equal opportunity. For all.

    When will there be a level playing field?”

  • MLM Company: Work 10 Hours A Week From Home, Earn $4000

    MLM Company: Work 10 Hours A Week From Home, Earn $4000

    <Credits: cyhlalala>

    So I’m trying to sleep but can’t because I am seriously disturbed. I went to an Amway meeting earlier today, after someone approached me with a “business opportunity”. I immediately suspected that something was off, so I came into the meeting skeptical and even secretly took some videos.

    They drew a pyramid scheme model during the presentation and tried to argue that it isn’t; they talked about income earners as Employees/Self-employed/Business owners/Investora and tried to argue that everyone in Amway is a business owner… the saddest part is that all these uni kids who have been brainwashed into thinking that they’re business owners are actually the very employees that they dissed on in their presentation. No, they’re worse actually, they’re the product.

    There were quite a few attendees to the meeting, many of whom were students. One was even a business student… while I’m sure some of them caught on as the seriously dodgy Amway videos were being played, I noticed the majority were already being lured in. After the meeting, there was a chat session with the upline (the person who recruited you), and some of the clueless participants were expressing intense interest. A few more families are gonna be ruined and I really wish I had just shouted out to everyone that it was basically a scam.

    I did try to argue with several of the uplines after the meeting was over. It went smth like this:

    “How is this not MLM?” “Do you know what the Singaporean law defines as MLM? If not, you should do your homework and come talk to us again. But basically, MLMs require a large startup cost, but Amway doesn’t have that.” “But in order to join this business, I have to pay a subscribers fee and buy all my household products from Amway instead right?” “Yes, but the subscribers fee is only $70. Also, you need household products anyway, so it’s not a real cost”
    After this point, they just kept repeating smth along the lines of “Ok, I can explain to you in detail, but it will take very long. Why don’t you come for the next meeting and we can explain further?”

    Also, at the end of the presentation, the presenter stated that we can earn $4000 a month for working from home 10 hours a week. Of course, they didn’t state that that’s only possible when you have a shit ton of downlines. In fact they framed it in a way like as if that’s the starting pay when you join

    What really made me sick was when they had a bunch of people go up and give testimonies, saying how their “mentor” helped so much with their life and transformed them into better people. Three around the words “integrity”, “honesty”, etc no less than 30 times. This is probably the closest to Scientology that I will experience in Singapore. It was like Christian Fellowship except the God is money and the Bible are the complete bullshit fluffass books written by the successful Amway “businessmen”. And instead of trying to do good, they’re trying to frame “scamming your friends and family” as good.

    TL;DR: Witnessed first hand Amway’s recruiting tactics. Please be skeptical if anyone ever tells you about a “business opportunity”. If you hear “Amway” or see someone draw you a pyramid diagram, run.

  • We, Muslims Are Proud Singaporeans!

    We, Muslims Are Proud Singaporeans!

    “We, Muslims are proud Singaporeans”, were the flinty words a Singapore national servicemen reportedly told The Diplomat magazine in 2014.

    He complained that Muslims serving in the Singapore military [were] routinely kept away from critical roles in air and naval units.

    His comments to The Diplomat magazine was prefaced by what had happened in Singapore in February 1915. Inexplicably the history books in the city-state have excluded the explosively, seismic event from its curriculum even as it had paralleled the Maria Hertogh riots of 1952.

    Still if there is something largely forgotten in Singapore, is the Sepoy Mutiny of 1915 when bands of Indian soldiers, namely Muslims, roamed the streets in the weeks of February 1915 hunting down and killing Europeans. The disgruntled troops were outraged when they learned – though falsely – that they would be sent to fight their co-religionists in Turkey during World War I. After breaking out of their barrack lines in what is today’s Dempsey Road, the mutineers began an orgy of rampage and killings. They even had the help of some Germans interred in Singapore.

    The outbreak occurred during Chinese New Year that year. But thanks to some Japanese, French and Russian reinforcements which the British summoned, the mutiny was quickly suppressed.

    All the mutineers were then court-martialled and tried and found guilty of the probable crime of treason.

    They were all executed in broad daylight at where now stands the Outram Park MRT to the perverted delight of onlookers who cheered when British marksmen began taking aim to shoot and kill the men standing blindfolded before them.

    It was something that British would never dare want to do in their own home turf.

    As how The Diplomat pointed, for some South Asian historians, the Singapore Mutiny is a sequel to the 1857 Sepoy Mutiny and an important milestone in the struggle for independence. The 5th Light infantry would be disbanded shortly after World War I after serving with the British Army in East Africa. Yet, Singapore would again be the site of another important rebellion involving colonial Indian troops. In 1942, the fall of Singapore, placed 40,000 Indian troops of whom nearly 30,000 would join the anti-British First Indian National Army (INA) under nationalist leader Mohan Singh. That army collapsed but, a second INA under Subas Chandra Bose joined Japanese forces during the Burmese campaign. During World War II, similar but smaller units of Indian soldiers were raised by both Germany and Italy from among Indian POWS. (http://thediplomat.com/2015/02/singapore-a-mutiny-like-no-other)

    Next week marks the 102nd anniversary of that uprising and what has been sobering is that has never received any mention in Singapore’s history books.
