    Singaporean Dies In Bali After Attempting Selfie On Cliff At Nusa Lembongan Island

    An attempt to take a selfie in Bali proved fatal for a 21-year-old Singaporean who was on holiday with eight friends.

    According to Indonesian media reports, Mohamed Aslam tried to take a selfie on a cliff at Sandi Bay Beach on Nusa Lembongan Island on Thursday (May 21). He lost his footing after he was hit by a wave, the Nusa Penida Police chief was quoted as saying by the Jakarta Post.

    He fell off the two-metre high cliff into the sea, and apparently could not swim, the police chief added. His body was found at a depth of five metres.

    A spokesperson for Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) said the Singapore embassy in Jakarta rendered consular assistance to Mr Aslam’s family and facilitated the repatriation of his body back to Singapore on Friday. MFA said it extends its condolences to the family.

    During a rave party in Bali on 20 June 2014, English deejays Stanton Warriors uploaded a photo of an asian woman on their official Stanton Warriors Facebook page.

    The asian woman had pasted words that resembles ‘Allah’ on her bra.

    The photo had created an uproar amongst Muslims, who felt it was offensive and insensitive. Several Muslims urged the admin of Facebook page to remove the photo. So far, no such action has been taken by the admins. In fact it has drawn alot of support from non-Muslims who showered numerous criticisms on the religion Islam and Muslims.

    Stanton Warriors are British deejays and production duo consisting of Dominic Butler and Mark Yardley.

    The duo have performed internationally with their infamous Stanton Sessions parties in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia. Their name was taken from a manhole cover made by Stanton Ironworks, which seemed fitting with their style of underground, cutting edge music.

    However, Muslim have felt that Stanton Warriors’ logo resembles that of ‘Allah’, a name used by Muslims to refer to God in Islam.
