    A Different Perspective, An Ally To The Cause: Non-Muslims Showed Greater Understanding And Respect

    Among netizens that responded to the non-halal issues of the bazaar at Geylang Serai include of course our non-Muslim friends too.

    If we did not care to notice, our Malay brothers and sisters may not have seen the way non-Muslims view the matter. Which is actually very heartening.

    For Geylang bazaar in Ramadan to be free of non-halal food, the cause may be closer to the hearts of Muslims, however for the non-Muslims the issue do concern them too and this is what some have came out to say.

    They showed greater understanding and respect for halal requirements. Salute!

    As such, there exist the need to observe halal dietery requirements of bazaars operating in the month of Ramadhan targeting at Muslims. And these are indeed prime examples of how diversity should be celebrated in our multi religious and multiracial society in Singapore.

    Best of all, most Muslims and non-Muslims share this common believe.

  • Commentary: Boycott Geylang Bazaar? Rising Rental And Non-Halal Food Are The Critical Reasons

    Commentary: Boycott Geylang Bazaar? Rising Rental And Non-Halal Food Are The Critical Reasons

    Bazaar Ramadan…

    Part1
    Sewa gerai makan= $17000
    Sewa gerai jual pakaian= $7000
    Tahun demi tahun, sewa gerai semakin tinggi. Tauke gerai buat bidding, kes tamak nak mampos. Tahun depan confirm naik lagi. Peniaga melayu semakin berkurangan kerana tak mampu bayar sewa yg tinggi. Dulu sewanya tak setinggi macam ni, dulu ramai peniaga melayu tapi kurang pembeli. Masa tu ramai yg cuma lalu lalang see see look look. Peniaga musiman jadi serik nak meniaga. Sekarang peniaga melayu semakin berkurangan, kita pula complain. Kesian pada peniaga melayu, tak berniaga kerana sewa yg mahal. Perit orang kita tak rasa. Adat berniaga ada pasang surut. Untuk elak dari benda ni berlaku, kalau orang Melayu bersatu hati, kita boikot bazaar geylang kasi tauke rugi. Kalau takde penyewa gerai, tauke gigit jari. Biar dia bayar hutang bank sendiri. Kita belanja aje kat Joo Chiat dan pasar Geylang. Kasi untung peniaga tetap yg dah bertapak bertahun2 kat situ. Takde bazaar takpe, Geylang tak ‘berseri’, tak best pun takpe. Yg penting kita ajar sama itu tauke. Abih macam mana peniaga melayu nak berniaga? Online kan ada. Peniaga gerai makanan boleh buat kat bawah blok, yg tu betul Bazaar Ramadan. 100% makanan halal.

    ———————————————————————————————

    Sambungan bazaar Geylang…
    Part 2
    Semalam dah draft tapi hold dulu. Nak tembak kena save peluru.

    Menang bidding= $1.79m
    Paling murah 1 gerai= $7k
    900 gerai= $7k x 900= $6.3m
    Tauke untung= $6.3-1.79= $4.51m
    Peniaga untung atau tak, tauke gerai tetap untung $4.51m, untung peniaga bergantung pada sales. Kalau rugi, peniaga tetap kena bayar sewa harga $7k dan lebih. So orang peniaga Melayu kena pandai, boikot besar besaran, kalau tauke menang bidding, tapi takde penyewa, dia tetap kena bayar duit bidding $1.79m. Kalau bazaar Geylang jual babi pun, biarkan aje sb menteri2 kita tak halang. Its ok sb itu bukan tempat Melayu/Islam lagi. Kalau dia hutang bank, itu pandai2 dia settle dgn bank. Kita jangan jadi barua pada tauke macam ni.

  • Laporan Di Doha: Jemaah Qatar Dilarang Masuk Masjidil Haram

    Laporan Di Doha: Jemaah Qatar Dilarang Masuk Masjidil Haram

    Tindakan pihak berkuasa Arab Saudi mencegah rakyat Qatar daripada memasuki Masjidil Haram, mengeruhkan lagi krisis diplomatik di negara Teluk.

    Demikian menurut laporan akhbar Al Sharq yang berpangkalan di Doha.

    Suruhanjaya Hak Asasi Manusia Qatar (NHRC) menerima aduan daripada rakyat Qatar bahawa para jemaahnya dilarang masuk ke Masjidil Haram, lapor akhbar itu pada Sabtu (10 Jun).

    Ketua NHRC, Ali bin Smaikh al-Marri menyifatkan insiden itu sebagai mencabuli secara terang-terangan hak untuk mengamalkan agama seperti yang dibenarkan oleh konvensyen hak kemanusiaan, lapor akhbar itu lagi.

    Lazimnya, pihak berkuasa Arab Saudi tidak menyoal para jemaah yang memasuki Masjidil Haram mengenai latar belakang kaum atau fahaman mereka.

    Dakwaan itu diterima beberapa hari setelah UAE dan Bahrain menyatakan “simpati” yang ditunjukkan kepada Qatar di media sosial adalah satu jenayah, lapor Aljazeera.

    Menurut Amiriah Arab Bersatu (UAE) para pesalah boleh dijatuhi hukuman penjara sehingga 15 tahun dan didenda $136,000 (S$188,290).

    Bahrain pula mengisytiharkannya sebagai kesalahan yang boleh dijatuhi hukuman penjara sehingga lima tahun.

    Pertikaian antara Qatar dengan negara-negara Arab memuncak setelah satu serangan siber ke atas agensi berita pemerintah Qatar.

    Arab Saudi, Bahrain, UAE dan Mesir memutuskan hubungan diplomatik dan pengangkutan dengan Qatar pada Isnin lalu (5 Jun), menuduhnya menyokong fahaman “pelampau”.

    Qatar bagaimanapun dengan tegas menafikan dakwaan itu, lapor laman Aljazeera.

    Dalam kenyataannya, pemerintah Qatar menyatakan ia sudah lama menerajui negara-negara di rantau itu dalam menentang “pengganasan”, termasuk memberi golongan muda harapan menerusi pekerjaan, mendidik ratusan ribu pelarian Syria dan membiayai program-program masyarakat untuk mencabar agenda kumpulan-kumpulan bersenjata, lapor Aljazeera.

    “Pendirian kami dalam menentang pengganasan lebih kuat berbanding mana-mana penandatangan kenyataan bersama – satu fakta yang dengan mudah tidak diendahkan,” menurut pemerintah Qatar.

  • The LGBT Debate: What Really Is The Crux Of The Issue?

    The LGBT Debate: What Really Is The Crux Of The Issue?

    Dear A.S.S. Editor

    I know what the response to this contribution will be like. But nonetheless this is one issue I have no regrets standing my ground on.

    Over the past few days we have witnessed an intense debate over Cathay Cineleisure’s decision to put up posters promoting Pink Dot. But that is not the biggest crux of the issue. The biggest crux is what is the fight for and about. I have shared my position. Those who have agreed with mine have shared ours. But the most important question is what is the crux of the matter.

    Is the fight about the “freedom to love”? I don’t think so. If it is truly about love, then how can you on the “freedom to love” movement subject others to the other side of the aisle the most unlovable form of response? Let’s face the hard truth, a good tree bears good fruits and your fruits give you away. If it is truly about love there is no need to bring up the religious beliefs or association of one for attack and vigilante treatment just because of disagreement in worldview as a matter of first response. The fact that one’s religious beliefs were singled out when for that matter it wasn’t used in the debate shows that the real problem is not about the freedom to love. It lies elsewhere. Case in point. Why was there the need to bring up the chairman of ASAS’s religion and church when the ASAS did not even call for Pink Dot’s publicity ad to be taken down completely but rather for its subtitle “freedom to love” to be amended? And also factoring in that the call was made according to the book and not based on some hastily inserted clause or rule?

    I think let’s be honest about this.

    On my earlier case of kleptomania and homosexuality. We don’t legitimise kleptomania because it goes against the natural order of things. And that’s my case with homosexuality too. For if homosexuality is indeed what we were made for and the natural order of things all marital relationships would naturally gravitate towards homosexual ones and the heterosexuals will be the ones clamouring for the “right to love”.

    We already have a “right to love”. That is why adultery is not criminalised in Singapore and neither is prostitution nor pre-marital sex. And we already know what the social and health related consequences are and if you want to push the line back further my advice is to calculate the cost first, not only for us but for our children. And if you want to flame me for this article, watch the flame burn and decide for yourselves if the question is about the freedom to love, or the real question lies elsewhere.
