  • A Hub Of The Malay Community, Wisma Geylang Serai

    A Hub Of The Malay Community, Wisma Geylang Serai

    An annual Hari Raya bazaar will be held at Wisma Geylang Serai from next year, Minister for the Environment and Water Resources Masagos Zulkifli revealed on Sunday (Jul 30).

    Mr Masagos said one of the signature events that the People’s Association Malay Activity Executive Committees Council (MESRA) will organise is the annual bazaar at the new civic centre. The minister, who is an adviser to MESRA, was speaking at 40th anniversary of PA’s Malay Activity Executive Committees (MAEC) on Sunday.

    He said Wisma Geylang Serai will be a new building that the Malay-Muslim community can be proud of. It will also be an opportunity for the new building to become a reflection of the rich Malay heritage, culture and identity. “I was happy to see this come through from the architectural designs of the building.”

    The People’s Association has agreed for MESRA to manage the programming of Wisma Geylang Serai with other stakeholders, and Dr Maliki Osman will lead this, Mr Masagos said.

    It will collaborate with the National Art Council, National Heritage Board and Geylang Serai community club to run events, courses and programmes with a focus on outreach and engagement that will make the new civic centre a distinct heritage space, the minister added.

    Dr Maliki, the Senior Minister of State for Defence and Foreign Affairs as well as Mayor of the South East Community Development Council, said in a separate press briefing on Sunday that he envisioned the new space to be “a kind of Singapore Botanic Gardens for the Malay community” and bringing in people to experience the life, culture and heritage.

    “We want it to be the hub of the Malay community,” he said.

    Wisma Geylang Serai will house a community club and other social and community-related facilities, and will be operational in 2018. A pedestrian network will also be built to enhance accessibility and connectivity to other developments in the area, including Geylang Serai market, Joo Chiat Complex and Paya Lebar MRT station.

    Dr Maliki Osman: Cari Jalan Sederhana Dalam Agama Supaya Dapat Saling Memahami

    Perpaduan dalam masyarakat berbilang agama tidak akan dapat dicapai dengan berkesan jika masih ada isu-isu dalam sesuatu agama itu.

    Antaranya pandangan yang berbeza dalam mengamalkan ajaran agama.

    Menurut Menteri Negara Kanan Pertahanan dan Ehwal Luar Dr Mohd Maliki Osman, ia merupakan satu perkara yang perlu diteliti dengan serius dan ditangani jika kita mahu mengekalkan keharmonian dalam kehidupan.

    “Sering kita dengar satu bangsa mengatakan sama ada kita boleh melakukan sesuatu perkara dan ada yang mengatakan boleh dan ada yang mengatakan tidak boleh. Bangsa yang lain mungkin tidak faham. Langsung ia akan menimbulkan masalah kepada mereka jika mereka ingin mengaitkan dengan sesuatu kaum tersebut. Jadi saya rasa apa yang penting ialah dalam sesuatu agama itu kita cuba cari jalan sederhana supaya ramai di antara mereka yang bukan dalam agama tersebut memahami apa yang dipraktikkan dan difahami oleh agama tersebut. Ini mungkin akan dapat meningkatkan lagi hubungan antara kaum ataupun antara agama di Singapura ini,” kata Dr Maliki.

    Dr Maliki yang juga Datuk Bandar CDC Tenggara berkata demikian di sesi dialog antara kaum anjuran CDC itu petang tadi (21 Jan).

    Ini merupakan sesi kedua daripada satu siri dialog bertujuan meningkatkan kesedaran dan pemahaman tentang pelbagai agama dan budaya di negara ini.

    Dialog kali ini berkisar tentang peranan dan erti sesuatu warna dalam kehidupan berbilang kaum di negara ini.

    Menurut Dr Maliki, sebagai rakyat Singapura, di samping tidak mengamalkan diskriminasi
    kita juga perlu mengambil langkah-langkah proaktif dalam membina wadah bagi pertukaran pendapat yang berkesan tentang masyarakat majmuk Singapura.

    Dialog ini disertai sekitar 170 orang dari pelbagai latar belakang termasuk pemimpin agama dan belia.

    Sesi selanjutnya akan diadakan pada 4 Mac.

  • 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?
