  • Ini Bukan Baju Melayu, Ini Orang Melayu Tak Berbaju

    Ini Bukan Baju Melayu, Ini Orang Melayu Tak Berbaju

    BANGI, Ahad – Menjelang beberapa bulan lagi umat Islam bakal menyambut perayaan Aidilfitri, rata-rata pereka fesyen sudah mula mengeluarkan rekaan baju raya terbaru untuk digayakan oleh pelanggan pada lebaran nanti.

    Terbaru, rekaan baju raya oleh seorang pereka fesyen muda telah menerima kritikan hebat oleh pelayar laman sosial apabila menghasilkan baju Melayu tanpa baju.

    Malah, segelintir pengguna media sosial meluahkan perasaan marahnya apabila rekaan baju raya itu dilihat mengubah dan menjejaskan konsep asal pakaian tradisi Melayu.

    Menurut pemilik akaun Facebook, Puspa Juwita berkata, revolusi dan kreativiti fesyen bagi pakaian tradisi itu tidak menjadi satu kesalahan tetapi janganlah sehingga merosakkan konsep tradisi pakaian Melayu itu.

    “Semakin maju teknologi sesebuah negara, semakin mundur peradaban manusia terutama dari segi pakaian,” kata Jeha Azizah.

    “Setakat pakai seluar saja, tak pakai baju boleh dianggap fesyen ke? What’s wrong with humanity nowaday?,” soal Shamsul Akmal.

    Sementara itu, Syazleen Suraya melahirkan rasa kecewanya dengan rekaan itu yang dianggap tidak menghormati budaya Melayu dan ketamadunan agama Islam.

    “Ini bukan baju Melayu, ini Melayu yang tak berbaju,” sindir AlHafiz Mohd.

    “What is wrong with u people? Makin lama makin jadi org tak ada tamadun,” kata Halia Biru.

  • Walid J. Abdullah: Elected President Being a Minority Just A Token Act

    Walid J. Abdullah: Elected President Being a Minority Just A Token Act

    I find the discussion on ways to ensure a minority President a little unnecessary. Not because i believe in the infallibility of meritocracy, as many of those who do not understand the concept of majority privilege do (just look at the comments on ST’s articles on the Elected Presidency and you will know what i mean: in fact, if you’re a minority, you would be spooked), but for a different reason.

    The reason why we even talk about having a minority President in the first place is presumably to ensure racial equality. But what is the point of having a minority President when so many racial issues remain unresolved, so many stereotypes exist, and so many people try to condone racism in all sorts of creative ways?

    Bear in mind the Elected Presidency is a position that does not really wield too much influence, so having a minority there would not change too many things; in fact, the converse could very well happen. The image of a minority President may give the impression that all is well on the racial front, and people may rest on their laurels. Denial of discrimination and racism would perhaps then be more frequent.

    There is not much sense speaking about how to ensure a minority President, when there are influential people who suggest fencing off foreign workers (without getting rebuked by a single parliamentarian, not even the opposition), when some still believe members of a particular race are lazy or stupid, when people are being slandered simply because of the God they worship, when others refuse to acknowledge genuine misgivings, and when people are judged by how they look rather than what they do.

    Let us not put the cart before the horse.

  • Ustazah Abandons Islam – Love Her, Pray For Her

    Ustazah Abandons Islam – Love Her, Pray For Her

    For our sister in faith….

    A few people have written to me about an ustazah who has abandoned her past teachings. She is now advocating a life that is free from the cages of religious beliefs, particularly of Islam.

    Many of her followers are upset by this news, disappointed by the ustazah’s sudden change of heart and worried about the impact of her newfound faith upon other youths. Frankly, I am not too anxious of her influence more than I feel for that ustazah whom I still hold in high regard.

    She is searching for the truth and has stumbled into the path of uncertainty. She is being frank with herself. She is crying for help inside. I have been there before. I have struggled with my ownself too and my own beliefs. Should I be angry with her? Must I be upset with her? No, not at all. What I will do is to pray for her. I will remember her when I communicate to Allah. And so should all of us.

    Why? Because our great Prophet Muhammad once reminded us: “When one of you has love for his brother, he should inform him that he loves him (Shahih Bukhari).” He meant it for men and women too.

    We love the ustazah. We want her to know that. We are humans like her. Humans who make mistakes, who breakdown and falter. Humans who know that even the best fall down sometimes. As people who love her much, we invite her back to return to the path of certainty and truth. The path of her own ancestors. The path of Muhammad. The path of the Quran and the Sunnah.

  • SDP Social Programme For Bukit Batok – We Are One, We Are Bukit Batok

    SDP Social Programme For Bukit Batok – We Are One, We Are Bukit Batok

    SDP launches We Are One, We Are Bukit Batok, a social programme for the SMC should SDP get elected in the by-election.

    The SDP’s mission is not only to manage the housing estate well, we also want to cultivate a successful town.

    But what is a successful town? It is one where the pavements and lift-landings are not only kept clean but also where residents develop a unique sense of belonging. It is a place where members of the community and the town managers put our minds together to make the estate a real home – a home where neighbour greets neighbour, the better off lend a hand to help lift up those in need, and friends look out for one another.

    Dr Chee said: “I don’t want to be just an MP, I want to be that spark, that catalyst that brings out the best in the people of Bukit Batok, to inspire everyone to reach for their best, to appeal to the better angels in all of us and to discover that side of our community that we didn’t know we had so that we can build a compassionate town, a town that will, dare I dream, become the model and one day spread to all of Singapore.”

    The programme includes the following initiatives the SDP has spelled out for Bukit Batok:

    Hearts for Bukit Batok

    This project endeavours to create a caring community for our elderly and low-income residents. Under this programme, households in Bukit Batok will be encouraged to adopt a needy family in the community by contributing their time and/or resources to the family’s well-being. This will bring the Bukit Batok community closer together and forge strong bonds between fellow residents. It will enrich the lives of both the receiver and the giver even as we recognise that our humanity is inextricably bound together.

    The SDP will also set up and manage a trust fund that will raise funds to assist Bukit Batok’s elderly poor with monthly stipends or food vouchers. If elected, Dr Chee will use his MP’s allowance to assist 10 low-income families.

    Wong Hwee Lin is presently a Private Tutor, who has extensive experience in teaching. She possesses a Master of Arts in SocioCultural Anthropology and was nominated for a Teaching Award in 2009.

    Ms Wong will coordinate Hearts for Bukit Batok.

    Pathfinder

    This project aims to create an environment conducive for students to build confidence and develop their potential. It is a place where students come together discover themselves, explore their interests and talents, or simply find someone to listen to them. Pathfinder will also provide subsidised private tuition for students from lower income families.

    Rajakumari Ashukumar (Kumari) is presently an allied educator and pursuing a degree in biomedical science.

    Ms Kumari will coordinate Pathfinder.

    Dollars and Sense

    This initiative assists residents who are facing financial difficulties and are looking for advice in resolving their financial problems. Financial experts and planners will meet with residents either individually or in small groups.

    Mr Tan Kin Lian is currently the President of the Financial Services Consumer Association. A qualified actuary, Mr Tan was the CEO of NTUC Income from 1977 to 2007.

    Mr Tan will facilitate Dollars and Sense.
    Legal Lifeline

    Staffed by lawyers, the Legal Lifeline provides the first step of assistance to low- income residents who are in need of legal advice. We have at least 7 lawyers who have volunteered to run the legal clinic at this point in time.
