  • Why Is The Malay Mainstream Media Keeping Mum About Pink Dot?

    Why Is The Malay Mainstream Media Keeping Mum About Pink Dot?

    With the Pink Dot happening tomorrow, the Malay mainstream media is still not reporting anything on it. Silence on the issue does not translate to the Malay community being disinterested in the issue of homosexuality. Are there no homosexuals in the Malay community? The issue, at the minimum, has to be discussed in the public sphere so that our community can guide these homosexual individuals to the right path.

    Yes, you may argue that some scientific research found that homosexuals are born with it, and it is not a matter of choice, and even so, that leaves us a room to participate in discussions on how best to help these homosexual individuals. By keeping quiet, we are not doing enough to help our fellow Malay community members who are homosexuals. The Malay mainstream media has to get the discussion going to get a sensing on how the Malay community feels about the whole issue. Let’s not deny the very existence of homosexuals in our community by keeping quiet.

    Some individuals from the Malay community have written to Rilek1Corner to express their disappointment and are upset that Pink Dot is happening yet again this year, and that they are having a hard time explaining to their  children about the whole homosexuality issue and what Pink Dot aims to achieve out of the yearly Pink picnic. They are concerned that their children may somehow be influenced by such unIslamic lifestyle. It is about time that as a community, we should start the discussion going. As a voice of the community, the Malay mainstream media should get the ball rolling by initiating discussions on homosexuality.

  • Why Throw Pork At Your Muslim Neighbour In A Multi-Religious Singapore?

    Why Throw Pork At Your Muslim Neighbour In A Multi-Religious Singapore?

    A 63-year-old woman found guilty of harassing her Muslim neighbours was sentenced to a 2-year mandatory treatment order on Friday (Jun 30). Lee Dji Lin, who was diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder, pleaded guilty in April to one count of harassment and one count of “intentionally wounding the religious feelings” of her neighbour, Ms Marliah Jonet, by throwing raw pork at the front door of her Tampines flat.

    A third charge of harassment for taunting Ms Marliah with a pig-shaped figurine and calling her “babi”, or pig in Malay, was taken into consideration. The court heard that on Jun 14, 2016, Ms Marliah heard Lee’s shouts from her kitchen window at about 11.30pm. When Ms Marliah looked out of the window, she saw Lee holding a bamboo pole with a pair of panties attached to one end. Lee was trying to swing the pole up and towards Ms Marliah’s window, the court heard.

    A few days later, on Jun 18, Ms Marliah opened her front door at about 11.40pm to find a slab of raw pork on her doorstep. She told her daughter to review footage from a CCTV camera the family had installed outside their flat. The footage captured Lee throwing the slab of raw meat towards Ms Marliah’s unit at about 8pm that day. Ms Marliah called the police next morning. For intending to wound the religious feelings of her neighbours, Lee could have been jailed for up to three years, fined, or both. For harassment, she could have been jailed for up to six months, fined up to S$5,000, or both.

  • LTC (NS) Ridzuan Bin Ismail Aims To Impart The Importance Of National Defence To His Men

    LTC (NS) Ridzuan Bin Ismail Aims To Impart The Importance Of National Defence To His Men

    When he first enlisted, LTC (NS) Ridzuan Bin Ismail did not care much for National Service. It was only after disrupting and coming back 4 years later that he started appreciating the importance of NS.

    A deep sense of purpose drove him to extend his NS cycle in 2010 and the 45-year-old director at the Public Utilities Board is now the Chief of Staff of 12th Singapore Infantry Brigade. His greatest goal? To impart the importance of national defence to his men and to make sure that they are trained and always ready for battle.

    Citing the example of how he could not tell the difference between his Operationally-Ready National Servicemen and the Regulars during exercises, he said: “This shows that the SAF has trained us well. We may have our own careers, but we are ready to face any missions thrown to us just like a regular unit.”

  • How Many Parents Of Uni-Graduate Daughters Will Let Their Daughters Marry Men Of Lower Academic Qualifications?

    How Many Parents Of Uni-Graduate Daughters Will Let Their Daughters Marry Men Of Lower Academic Qualifications?

    On the contrary, many of my local graduate female friends got married to diploma holders and ITE graduates. Education, sometimes, are not defined by the papers they hold.

    My question is… How many mothers would actually allow it happen to their sons? Especially if the lady is divorced and not just older. And their sons are earning less/minimal. Opps!

    The pursuit of knowledge is a divine commandment in Islam.
