Woman Signed-Off As “Babi” In Traffic Summons Arrested, To Be Charged In Court

PETALING JAYA: A woman has been arrested for writing the word “babi” (pig) on a summons issued to her by a Johor Bahru traffic policeman.

According to Johor Bahru Selatan police chief ACP Sulaiman Salleh, the incident took place at 8.50pm yesterday when the 53-year-old woman parked her Mercedes-Benz in Jalan Tun Abdul Razak.

A traffic policeman saw that the car was obstructing traffic and told the woman to park elsewhere, but she refused to budge.

He then issued her a summons for obstructing traffic, ignoring traffic signs and for parking her car along a double line.

“Instead, the suspect wrote the word ‘babi’ when she signed her name (on the summons) and shouted at the officer, saying her name was ‘babi’,” said Sulaiman when contacted by FMT.

“We believe she did that with the intention of insulting the officer.”

The officer, with the help of a surveillance unit, arrested her on the spot.

“She is currently in police custody and will be charged in the Johor Bahru Sessions Court at 9am tomorrow. If found guilty, she can be fined up to RM100 for insulting a policeman.”

He advised the public not to insult or use inappropriate words against policemen carrying out their duties to maintain public order.

Last month, a married couple was found guilty of harassing a female Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) enforcement officer for issuing them a parking ticket.

They were jailed two weeks and fined RM3,000 each but have appealed against the sentence.

Why Swine Flesh Is Bad for Consumption?

1) A pig is a real garbage gut. It will eat anything including urine, excrement, dirt, decaying animal flesh, maggots, or decaying vegetables. They will even eat the cancerous growths off other pigs or animals.

2) The meat and fat of a pig absorbs toxins like a sponge. Their meat can be 30 times more toxic than beef or venison.

3) When eating beef or venison, it takes 8 to 9 hours to digest the meat so what little toxins are in the meat are slowly put into our system and can be filtered by the liver. But when pork is eaten, it takes only 4 hours to digest the meat. We thus get a much higher level of toxins within a shorter time.

4) Unlike other mammals, a pig does not sweat or perspire. Perspiration is a means by which toxins are removed from the body. Since a pig does not sweat, the toxins remain within its body and in the meat.

5) Pigs and swine are so poisonous that you can hardly kill them with strychnine or other poisons.

6) Farmers will often pen up pigs within a rattlesnake nest because the pigs will eat the snakes, and if bitten they will not be harmed by the venom.

7) When a pig is butchered, worms and insects take to its flesh sooner and faster than to other animal’s flesh. In a few days the swine flesh is full of worms.

Swine and pigs have over a dozen parasites within them, such as tapeworms, flukes, worms, and trichinae. There is no safe temperature at which pork can be cooked to ensure that all these parasites, their cysts, and eggs will be killed.

9) Pig meat has twice as much fat as beef. A 3 oz T bone steak contains 8.5 grams of fat; a 3 oz pork chop contains 18 grams of fat. A 3 oz beef rib has 11.1 grams of fat; a 3 oz pork spare rib has 23.2 grams of fat.

10) Cows have a complex digestive system, having four stomachs. It thus takes over 24 hours to digest their vegetarian diet causing its food to be purified of toxins. In contrast, the swine’s one stomach takes only about 4 hours to digest its foul diet, turning its toxic food into flesh.

11) The swine carries about 30 diseases which can be easily passed to humans. This is why God commanded that we are not even to touch their carcase (Leviticus 11:8).

12) The trichinae worm of the swine is microscopically small, and once ingested can lodge itself in our intestines, muscles, spinal cord or the brain. This results in the disease trichinosis. The symptoms are sometimes lacking, but when present they are mistaken for other diseases, such as typhoid, arthritis, rheumatism, gastritis, MS, meningitis, gall bladder trouble, or acute alcoholism.

13) The pig is so poisonous and filthy, that nature had to prepare him a sewer line or canal running down each leg with an outlet in the bottom of the foot. Out of this hole oozes pus and filth his body cannot pass into its system fast enough. Some of this pus gets into the meat of the pig.

Pork Meat Packages Placed in Halal Section at NTUC FairPrice

A Muslim customer was surprised and shocked when he was doing his grocery shopping NTUC Toa Payoh HDB Hub recently.

Dayak Racun went to the halal meat section to buy beef, but was appalled to find pork meat packages placed in the halal section.

This is what Dayak Racun said on Facebook:

This is what I found… pork mixed with beef @ NTUC Toa Payoh HDB Hub….

When I make a complaint, the lady in charged only apologised to say sorry.

In my opinion, Muis should be responsible for this. I take this very seriously.

This is not the first time sightings of pork meat packages were seen in the Halal section of local supermarkets.

Last month, a reader had informed us that a worker at Sheng Siong Supermarket had use the same chopping board to cut fishes and pork.

The incident was sighted at Sheng Siong Bedok Reservior.

EDITOR’S NOTE

We have sent feedback to both NTUC FairPrice and MUIS.

As usual, MUIS has kept mum and eerily silent. We have not heard from them at all, including previous incidents where we have alerted them and asked for their comments.

We wonder what they (MUIS) are busy about, or maybe they think public complaints are not important at all?

Clarity in Fatwas and Advisory Opinions Needed From MUIS

Salam R1C,

I would like to address this letter to Farah AR and correct several misconceptions on the usage of pork/porcine apparel products.

—————-

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.

To Farah AR who wrote about pig skin, she had shared about her experiences and her Islamic understanding in pork/porcine products. May Allah increase Farah’s knowledge and grant her insight to understand Islamic rulings.

I recall a long time ago when I emailed MUIS about the same query regarding usage of pork/porcine products such as handbags and shoes. This is fairly common among Muslims who may have accidentally purchased these products. unfortunately, many realized the truth only much later.

Responding to my query, MUIS stated the following:

The majority of scholars consider pig and all derivatives from it as heavy najis (filth), which entails the necessary purification of seven washings, one of them with a mixture of sand and water, for surfaces that come into contact with pig and its organs. However, the condition is that the surface contact is wet or moist.

If it is dry, then no purification is necessary.

Hence, wearing shoes or using things that are made from pig’s organs are not advisable since it runs into possibility of being wet or moist and hence necessitates purification. Without such purification, Prayer (salah) is not valid.

MUIS also recommended a good book titled ‘The Reliance of the Traveller by Nuh Ha Mim Keller’. This book can be easily purchased from online bookstores such as Amazon.

In my opinion, Muslims should strive hard to keep their bodies and clothes clean and pure; hence it is better for Muslims to wear leather that is originally permissible or derived from an animal that is lawful.

But, whatever it is – the most important is : CHECK IT OUT FIRST. It’s all about subjectivity, so you have to take the preventive steps to confirm whether it is pigskin or not. Some Gucci and Fendi might use pigskin, you’ll never know (actually Gucci did use pigskin for some of their ladies’ bags in previous seasons, which they did mention in the press).

In case of syubhah, don’t buy it. It’s up to you. But as a Muslim, I won’t be using anything pigskin.

To avoid future misconceptions, MUIS should make sure that Islamic advisories or fatwas are clear and easily accessible so that Muslims can easily refer to it whenever there is doubt. Also, MUIS should employ dedicated officers to manage public queries. Singapore Muslims should not have to wait 5-10 days for a simple reply that possibly require only 10 minutes to write.

EDITOR’S NOTE

Thank you Julia for the contribution.

We agree that Muslims need clarification from MUIS, and hope the Islamic organisation can be more forthcoming to address matters concerning the Muslim community.

When it comes to situation like this, clarity is key to avoid unnecessary misconception and anxiety.

Have you encountered a similar experience whereby you purchased a porcine product unknowingly?

MUIS Say Can Use Pig Skin Products If Contact is Dry?

Recently there has been some debate about whether Muslims can use pig skin leather porkducts. As many know, pork or products from pigs are commonly thought of as haram to the Muslims. While it is true that eating pork is haram (not permissible) for Muslims, the use of pig skin products is not haram.

According to religious authorities, various Ustaz and also MUIS, it is permissible for Muslims to touch or use pig skin products provided that the contact between the body part and the porkduct is dry. It is not najis (faeces) if the contact is dry. Yes, yes, no wet contact!

If either the body part or the leather porkduct is wet, then it is najis. Once you kena najis then the prayers you make to Allah will not be counted, no power already. To make the najis go away you must perform sertu which is Muslim cleansing with water and clay.

https://www.muis.gov.sg/eservices/faqs/muis_faqmain.asp?action=SEARCHNOW

That is why my mother who carries a very expensive pig skin Gucci bag always carry a water proof shopping bag inside the Gucci. Whenever it rains, she will pull out the waterproof bag and put the Gucci inside. Pig skin is also common in brands such as Bottega and Kate Spade, so my dear fashionista Muslimahs take note.

So if you want to be a good Muslim and use pig skin stuff, you should be discipline enough to ensure that the contact is dry and pure. If you kena wet contact, you should perform sertu as soon as possible. If one feels that this is too much, then just don’t use pig porkducts, but do not criticize others who choose to use or touch it.

And no, touching of pig skin merchandise in a shopping mall is not haram, so stop acting like the khalwat police when you see fellow Muslim friends touching porcine goods.

Oh, I forget, there’s this issue of sweat or human perspiration in our weather…so Muslim boys out there with a pig skin wallet in your tight-ass skinny sweaty jeans take note!

All in, Muslims should educate themselves holistically on the teachings of Quran and Hadiths with guidance from learned ustaz, and not take an alarmist stance just because you hear pig or pork being mentioned.
