Saya dapat tahu yang anak saya dibuli seorang pelajar lain di tadikanya.
Saya tanya dia kenapa tidak laporkan kepada guru.
Dia mungkin seorang yang pemalu.
Saya sarankan agar beliau melawan balik apabila ditolak dan dipukul hingga jatuh.
Namun si ibu membangkang dan mengatakan saya tidak seharusnya mengajar dia sedemikian.
Saya menyuruh anak lelaki saya untuk membuat aduan kepada gurunya. Memang watak anak lelaki saya ini tidak suka mengadu walaupun di rumah apabila bergaduh dengan kakaknya.
Namun, “bermain” dan “bergurau” itu perlu setimpal. Saya tidak ingin si pemukul meneruskan penindasan itu.
Saya mahu anak lelaki saya “bergurau” kembali.
“What If he is rougher?” Tanya si Boy.
Saya menyuruh beliau untuk “bergurau” lebih ganas daripada dia. Kerana dengan pukulan yang dibalas akan mengingatkan si pemukul bahawa sakit rasanya apabila dipukul dan jatuh ke lantai.
Saya tidak mahu anak saya berlaku ganas terhadap orang lain namun biar dia dapat mempertahankan dirinya daripada terus menerus dianiaya orang lain.
Maka kini saya sudah tahu kenapa dia sering ada lebam-lebam di badan dan kakinya.
JEDDAH: Imam dan muazzin sebuah masjid di Jeddah ditegur setelah tersebar luas sebuah video yang menunjukkan sekumpulan jemaah menari-nari bak sebuah pesta dalam masjid tersebut sempena Aidilfitri.
Menurut laman Arab News, kedua-dua imam dan muazzin Masjid Omar Basabirin itu dipanggil oleh kementerian ehwal Islam Arab Saudi berhubung kegiatan-kegiatan “haram” yang dijalankan di masjid tersebut.
Kedua-dua mereka dipanggil untuk disoal siasat tentang isu itu sebelum kementerian tersebut memutuskan hukuman yang perlu dikenakan terhadap mereka, lapor Saudi Gazette.
MAIN LAGU DAN MENARI DALAM MASJID DILARANG
Pengarah cawangan kementerian itu di Makkah, Ali Salem Al-Abdali ditukil Saudi Gazette sebagai berkata, memainkan lagu dan menari di dalam masjid melanggar kesucian rumah Allah.
Hukuman yang dikenakan, kata beliau, mungkin termasuk dipecat daripada jawatan mereka, sekiranya imam dan muazzin itu terbukti tahu-menahu tentang insiden menari berkenaan.
Video yang menjadi viral di lelaman media sosial itu menunjukkan sekumpulan jemaah menari mengikut rentak muzik dan nyanyian dalam bahasa Arab, yang dimainkan dengan kuat di masjid tersebut.
Jemaah lain dilihat memerhatikan mereka – sesetengah merakam video atau memetik gambar gelagat mereka itu dengan telefon bimbit, sementara yang lain menikmati jamuan yang disediakan.
“MASJID TEMPAT BERIBADAH, BUKAN MENARI”
Anggota Majlis Ulama Kanan, Sheikh Ali Al-Hakami, mengutuk insiden tersebut, dan berkata, kedua-dua mereka yang menganjurkan dan menyertai sambutan itu harus dipertanggungjawabkan.
Beliau menegaskan bahawa masjid-masjid merupakan tempat beribadah, bukan untuk menari dan menyanyi.
Apa yang berlaku di masjid itu, katanya kepada Arab News, tidak sesuai dengan kesucian dan prestij masjid, katanya.
IMAM NAFI TAHU ADA JEMAAH MENARI
Bagaimanapun, imam masjid terbabit, Qashmir Al-Qarni, berkata beliau tidak tahu ada jemaah yang menari di dalam masjid. Malah katanya, lagu-lagu yang dimainkan hanya berunsur Islami dan kenegaraan.
“Jika ada orang yang menari dalam masjid ini, ia mesti berlaku tanpa pengetahuan atau izin saya,” katanya seperti ditukil akhbar Al-Hayat.
Menurut Arab News, setelah video itu tersebar luas, ia membangkitkan kemarahan netizen hingga sebuah kempen dilancarkan di laman Twitter untuk menggesa tindakan dikenakan terhadap mereka yang menganjurkan sambutan itu.
Your average 4-pointer will be faced with a tough decision. which school to pick as his first choice? what if RI only has a Sec 1 enrolment class of 400 and your 4-pointer knows that there are 4000 4-pointers in Singapore? He is not guaranteed entry into RI any more. The school of his second and third choice becomes very important also – if he picks HCI, for example, and their cut off is also 4-points, he basically has no chance of getting in if there are400 x 4-pointers who put HCI as first choice. so he will be forced to diversify his choice of schools.
In the past, your PSLE 260++ students would all just go straight for the RIs and the HCIs and the RGSes, and go on to hang out together, go to tuition together, apply for scholarships together, marry each other, work in the same high paying jobs together, continue to decide policy together, and send their kids back to same schools together in an entire career and life track cut off from the rest of Singapore.
With this scheme, there is a strong chance that they will end up in any number of 20-30 other schools instead of 2-3… spreading the talent pool. Doubling down on “every school is a good school”. Breaking the concentration of elitism. And this happens all the way down. It’s a good move.
The next step is to end affiliation and to clamp down on DSA.
ISYAK: They came for me at the Masjid every night in Ramadhan… every night! I really thought they came for me. And I only realised I was wrong when our guest Mr Tarawih told me that they came for him and not me. I mean.. come on.. Im wajib and he’s sunnat..
MAGHRIB: Me too bro… they were anxiously waiting for me to come every evening! They actually memorised my arrival time man! I was so happy until Mr Iftar told me they were waiting for him and not me.
SUBUH: You guys should be thankful… They only came for me in the Masjid in the last 10 nights of Ramadhan. I thought they came for me but realised I was wrong when Mr Laylatul Qadr told me they came for him. And the saddest part was yesterday on 1st Shawwal. So many came although they were late. So many of them came. It was more than the numbers who came for Mr Jumaat. And then I realised they came for Mr Eid. Not me.
LAYLATUL QADR: And those who knew my story, they only came on 5 of the odd nights, not 10. Imagine if Allah had revealed to them my actual date!
ZUHUR & ASAR: [Silent, not understanding a single thing]
“My mom is the most kindhearted, loving, and selfless person you’ll ever meet. She has a great amount of pride and respect for her religion, culture, and customs.
The fact that she can’t walk out of her home without feeling safe is sickening.
Tonight a couple of guys stalked her out of our local Walmart and attacked her with blows to her head and body with eggs.
The reason they thought it was necessary to attack her and my little sister was because they were wearing a hijab.
I am at loss for words due to the immense amount of hate that is in this world. No one should have to see their mom broken because of a couple of people having disgusting prejudices about people that do not look like them.”
