  • Muslimahs At Workplaces – Gain Your Bosses’ Trust First

    Muslimahs At Workplaces – Gain Your Bosses’ Trust First

    Some workplace, tak benarkan kita pakai pakaian yang “terlalu” muslimah (baggy clothes/tudung labuh).

    After 11 years of working and jumping around few MNCs and gov offices, first time, boss aku talk to me about “professional attire”.

    Aku is vendor. Engineer dari lain company giving service to another company. So he told me, dia nak aku dress professionally and deliver expertise aku accordingly. Aku faham apa dia trying to say bila dia tengok aku atas bawah.

    He shared with me, dia taknak ada incident where he will be asked not to take “muslimah” again sebab diorang pernah encounter banyak problem with the previous muslimah.

    Waktu solat takes forever.
    Bila bercakap, tak tapis. Nak jaga with non mahram sampai appear rude.
    Dressing terlalu labuh/extreme.
    Datang kerja lambat.
    Buat kerja selalu ada mistakes.
    Bila ada mistakes, tak own up. Argue.

    Aku pernah ada staff muslimah.
    Bila kerja, mulut dia kumat kamit. Prolly berzikir.
    I dont have any problem with that.
    I dont have problem with dressing as well.
    But kita selalu kena be mindful of other religion and race. Nak baca apape.. jangan lah sampai macam tengah berjampi. Maybe ada orang tak selesa.

    And masa tu, aku was fronting auditors for my team. And tiap kali auditor spot a mistake, mesti it comes from this lady. Everyday datang lambat. Masuk waktu solat, hilang almost 45 mins. Pastu argue je.. dengan boss. Dia try to gunakan aku as a shield but aku, time kerja, kerja. Time friends, friends.

    So aku share skit, aku stick to black bila masuk office. So “nampak” professional. Tudung je tukar2 color. Try to wear baju office gi office. Baju kurung ke, jubah ke, maybe boleh pakai on Friday. On weekdays, you can wear palazzo/skirt and tops labuh.

    But one thing aku paling jaga is timing pergi balik office and work performance. Jangan lambat masuk office. Orang benci those yang tak datang on time tapi nak balik on time.
    Those yang tak jaga break time. Tak pernah ada dekat desk. Kalau nak gi solat pon, tu bukan company bapak kita. So plan your time wisely. Jangan sampai mulut orang kata “amik muslimah, nak kena put on radar. Because they are so irresponsible”.

    Bila boss aku amik aku, he told me honestly that dia akan put aku on radar, and aku baru dapat lepas his hook sebab aku selalu available bila clients ke customer carik.

    Jangan busukkan nama muslimah. Be a professional productive muslimah.

    Then once boss da percaya, nak pakai sari gi kerja.. pakailah..

    Exclusive Interview With Saire Bin Adnan, The One-Legged Uber Eats Scooter Rider

    Saire Bin Adnan, or better known as Sani, 34 years old, has been with Uber Eats for about 4 months. Prior to working with Uber Eats, he has been working at call centres and telemarketing but was dismissed shortly after because the employer was afraid that he might fall.

    The fear of falling also extended to his current employment at Uber Eats as he has fallen a few times while delivering food and also, when his customers rushed him to deliver the food. He has suffered a few minor injuries due to his fall while working.

    Sharing why his leg was amputated, he mentioned that he was involved in a bicycle accident in 1999 and in 2013, the doctor claimed that his leg is no longer functional, hence, it has to be amputated.

    Sani shared that he is staying with his mother, 55, sister, 29 and brother, 25. They are also getting financial aid from Social Service Office (SSO) and Singapore’s Muslim Religious Organisation (MUIS).

    Exclusive Interview Bersama Saire Bin Adnan, Pekerja Uber Eats Yang Kodong Kakinya

    Sepanjang bekerja di Uber Eats, Sani, atau nama penuhnya Saire Bin Adnan, telah banyak menempuhi pengalaman pahit, seperti terjatuh dari scooternya. Beliau yang telah bekerja selama 4 bulan bersama Uber Eats, walaubagaimanapun amat bersyukur sebab para pelanggan banyak memberikan kata-kata sokongan dan tips untuk beliau. Walaupun ada pelanggan yang menyuruhnya untuk menghantar makanan dengan cepat, Sani tidak mengendahkan arahan mereka kerana beliau takut jatuh.

    Menceritakan mengapa kakinya harus dipotong, beliau berkata, pada tahun 1999, beliau terlibat dalam satu kemalangan basikal. Dan pada tahun 2013, beliau harus memotong kakinya atas arahan doktor kerana kakinya dah tak boleh berfungsi. Sani, 34 tahun, telah mencuba pelbagai pekerjaan sebelum bekerja di Uber Eats.

    Beliau telah bekerja di pusat-pusat panggilan dan telemarketing tetapi diberhentikan kerja kerana majikan beliau risau kalau Sani terjatuh. Sejurus selepas itu, Sani mencari pekerjaan dari surat khabar tetapi mempunyai kesusahan untuk mendapat pekerjaan, tetapi selepas dibantu kawannya, beliau dapat pekerjaan bersama Uber Eats.

    Di rumah, Sani tinggal bersama ibunya, 55 tahun, adik perempuannya, 29 tahun dan adik lelakinya, 25 tahun. Mereka mendapat bantuan kewangan bulanan dari Social Service Office (SSO) dan Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS).

  • Innalillah Dr Surin Pitsuwan – You Have Contributed To The Islamic Education In Singapore

    Innalillah Dr Surin Pitsuwan – You Have Contributed To The Islamic Education In Singapore

    The late Dr Surin Pitsuwan was responsible in persuading his friend, Mr George Yeo (then Foreign Minister of S’pore) to clear Irsyad’s maiden project into Southern Thailand when its easier for MFA to have prevented it under security grounds. Hearing of his death brings sadness at the loss of a visionary ASEAN leader committed towards building human bridges across South East Asia as the Secretary General of ASEAN.

    With MFA clearance for the project most remote after 2 years of waiting, it was the words of Dr Surin when we met and spoke, that made me personally commit to strive my utmost to help seal this project that was backed by Temasek Foundation. For him, it was always about bridging a gap to raise the prospects and potentials of his people (minority Muslims in Thailand) which he dedicated his life to.

    I will personally continue the work in Southern Thailand, which I am only able to do so today facilitated and helped by Dr Surin. Any good will benefit the students of Southern Thailand whose credit will surely return back to him for having been instrumental for its onset. Rest in peace my brother in faith. May you be rewarded with the best from your Lord who has witnessed and recorded your selfless deeds to your people and to the region.

  • Bitcoin Is Un-Islamic, Says Turkey, As Price Soars Above $10,000

    Bitcoin Is Un-Islamic, Says Turkey, As Price Soars Above $10,000

    Turkish authorities have declared that Bitcoin is not accordant with Islam and has warned its citizens against buying the world’s most popular cryptocurrency.

    Turkey’s Directorate of Religious Affairs, known as Diyanet, said that the cryptocurrency is widely used for nefarious and illegal activities, and is not sufficiently regulated, making it far more volatile than other currencies.

    “Buying and selling virtual currencies is not compatible with religion at this time because of the fact that their valuation is open to speculation, they can be easily used in illegal activities like money laundering and they are not under the state’s audit and surveillance,” Diyanet said. It added that Bitcoin had not been authorized by the state.

    The religious body took a decision on the digital currency at a meeting last Friday. Turkish citizens have still invested in Bitcoin despite the warnings from the government, and criminals are also capitalizing on the rise in the currency’s value.

    Earlier this month, Turkish police captured a gang who had extorted 450 bitcoins, worth around $3.3 million at the time, from a wealthy businessman, forcing him to transfer them from his laptop and hand over his online banking passwords. The gang targeted him because he showed off his flashy lifestyle on social media.

    As the digital currency rises in popularity, the president of Turkey’s Central Bank said that research is taking place into cryptocurrencies more generally. Murat Cetinkaya said that such digital currencies could “contribute to financial stability,” according to Bitcoin.com.

    The cryptocurrency is the financial story of 2017, rising from less than $1,000 at the start of January to more than $10,000 at the time of writing. Enthusiasts of the digital currency say it could continue its ascent, but financial juggernauts have expressed cautioned about its lack of regulation.

    Bitcoin’s market value remains less than $200 billion, a slither of the world’s $200 trillion in financial market assets, and cryptofunds—some run by top U.S. financiers—are beginning to pop up as confidence around Bitcoin’s potential spreads.
