    Inconsiderate RC Member BBQ Food Along Common Corridor

    Dear editor,
    My inconsiderate neighbour every CNY BBQ outside the house then flower pots display until I open my door also can see…Put personal stool under my window take it like their personal garden.
    Such a bully yet when my mother complain about then to the town council 15++ years ago guess what the person told my mother? Sorry please close one eye la the husband is RC member…WTF!!
    And when I was in primary school we told them nicely that BBQ near plant can cause fire hazard they decided to quarrel then we call police to talk to them in the end what happen? The police just pass it off as neighbour dispute….
    For sooo many years we tolerate your nonsense yet again and again you take advantage of us seriously you are such a bully spoil my CNY! still so arrogantly tell us to close the door coz you need to heat up the charcoal then what about my guest? You trying to tell me my guest should just stay indoor and all close the door? I cannot open my door for me guest to be at tht corridor too?? Don’t be ridiculous!
    Pasir Ris Punggol Town Council is this how your rc member should treat their neighbors? When police tell them not to do it their still tell the police and SCDF what to do by saying that they should go assist in other major place instead of such small issue then what if fire really broke out from such small bbq?
    Prevention is better than cure these people still say no one at home for so many year no complain now move back want to complain what’s the excuse? Town council already say they are wrong to do such things means no excuse!

  • Stamford Raffles And John Crawfurd Believed That Malays Were Inferior To The British

    Stamford Raffles And John Crawfurd Believed That Malays Were Inferior To The British

    For the Malays who love their colonialists..

    What did Raffles and John Crawfurd (the Second Resident of Singapura) think of the Malays?

    Raffles:
    “He held that Malays were a rude, uncivilised and degraded race, much in decline from a high point of civilisation that they had once attained.

    No development in thought and science was thus expected of them except for the most rudimentary aspects of knowledge. He found them to be generally indolent.

    Although he later acknowledged them as being advanced in civilisation, albeit at varying degrees, and of varied characteristics, he maintained the view that Malays were no match to the British at that time,but were to be compared only with “some of the borderers in North Britain, not many centuries ago.”

    John Crawfurd:

    The second Resident of Singapura was a little kinder. He referred to the Malays as imbeciles, ignorant and not deserving of notice.

    “Crawfurd thus contended that ‘the traditions of the Malays themselves are altogether undeserving of notice’, given that, on their level of civilisation:

    Their imbecility of reason and their ignorance as to matters of fact are equally beyond the comprehension of any one accustomed only to European society.

    And we still look up to the colonialists?

  • Malay Family: Chinese Neighbours Offered Us CNY Goodies, We Will Do The Same During Hari Raya

    Malay Family: Chinese Neighbours Offered Us CNY Goodies, We Will Do The Same During Hari Raya

    I usually do not write on the internet about such things, but I feel this needs to be shared for awareness.

    I am your typical Malay neighbour. I stay on the fourth floor of a HDB in Admiralty with a family of three, including my wife and two children, next to a Chinese couple.

    Today, the Chinese couple turned up at my door offering me goodies, kueh lapis, egg crackers and pineapple tarts. They say that it is for my family. I was touched and for a moment I didn’t know what to reply them except “thank you” and “Happy New Year”.

    I discussed this with my wife and we both agree that we will return them the favour the next time during Hari Raya.

    All this leads me to think about the things that were posted these past few weeks. When Mr Shanmugam says we Muslims are more separate from the others, how true is that? Maybe for some of the not so confident, it is confusing to wish others well on their festive holidays without confusing their own hearts for Allah.

    Not for us, we appreciate what this couple has done for us, We will wish them Happy Chinese New Year and share with them our blessings when it is our festival.

  • PERGAS: Islamic Scholars Divided Over Festive Greetings To People Of Other Faiths, PERGAS Of The View That It Is Acceptable In Singapore Context

    PERGAS: Islamic Scholars Divided Over Festive Greetings To People Of Other Faiths, PERGAS Of The View That It Is Acceptable In Singapore Context

    Will the PAP MP Dr Maliki Osman retract his statement?

    On 26th January 2016, Dr Maliki made a comment about Islam in Parliament that has been proven wrong.

    The PAP MP Dr Maliki Osman….in his speech about extremism..

    Referred to discussions among Muslims that it may not be permitted for Muslims to wish non Muslims for their festivals.

    As reported on ChannelnewsAsia…

    when discussing the opinion that it is not allowed in Islam..

    “Dr Maliki said senior, respected scholars have spoken up and contradicted the message. Citing a report in Berita Harian, the MP said that such bans have no basis in Islam.”

    The PAP MP Dr Maliki appears to have made an unequivocal statement that is has “no basis in Islam”.

    And yet..

    The Singapore Islamic Scholars & Religious Teachers Association – Pergas

    has sent out guidance to Muslims in Singapura with regard to the issue.

    According to the guidance, there is a difference in opinion on whether it is allowed in Islam.

    Pergas provided a rather balanced position.

    Pergas 1

    Pergas 2

    Pergas 3

    Pergas 4

    Pergas 5

    Importantly, they provided the Islamic evidence for those who believe it is not permitted (and those who believe it is)..

    Dr Maliki Osman claimed there is no basis…the scholars said there is.

    Will Dr Maliki Osman now retract his statement?

  • SDP: Minister’s Silence On Benjamin Lim’s Suicide Is Troubling

    SDP: Minister’s Silence On Benjamin Lim’s Suicide Is Troubling

    The SDP expresses our deepest sympathies to the family of Benjamin Lim. His suicide is a tragedy that could have been avoided.

    There is a reason why the law and society treat minors differently from adults: They are presumed to not possess the full maturity in thought and deed as adults. Common sense would have indicated to the authorities to proceed with caution when dealing with minors. Yet, five police officers were dispatched to arrest the boy.

    Even if the police were concerned that Benjamin would not be co-operative and could overpower the officers and escape, how far could he have run? And even if he did make a getaway, did the police not have his family, school and classmates that they could contact?

    Also of concern is whether the number of officers sent to arrest Benjamin signaled an aggressive police mindset that was carried over into the interrogation room.

    School officials must be aware that their duty is, first and foremost, to protect students’ welfare as well as their families’ interests. Doing this would not impede law enforcement officers from carrying out their duty. It would, on the other hand, help to prevent tragedies like Benjamin’s suicide from taking place.

    But there is something else that is equally disconcerting. The Ministers for Law, Education, and Home Affairs have kept silent on the matter. Given that a teenager has committed suicide resulting from a series of actions involving the police and the school, it behooves the Ministers to, at the minimum, address the situation and see how the matter is resolved and future incidents prevented.

    Instead of looking into the matter, Todayonline runs a headline saying: “MPs, experts laud police review of interview process involving minors”. Why are MPs and the media not speaking up on investigating the circumstances that led to a 14-year-old committing suicide after police interrogation? Instead, they are lauding the review of a procedure that should not have been in practice in the first place.

    In any developed country, the standard operating procedures (SOPs) would require minors to be accompanied by a parent, guardian or lawyer during interrogation. Its SOPs would also require video recordings of all police interrogations. Without these protections of minors’ rights – indeed the rights of all persons under interrogation – we will never know the treatment meted out to Benjamin during the three hours or so in police custody.

    The public is upset over this incident and deserves full accounting from the Government.
