    Sekolah Larang Pakai Hijab Pada Sambutan Hari Kebangsaan Walaupun Tidak Beruniform

    singapore national day

    Assalamu’alaikum…. haaaahhh…. hari ni saya nak luahkan perasaan sedih… Hari ni adalah hari sambutan hari kebangsaan singapura (sengaja xmo letak caps) di semua sekolah.

    So, hari ini semua pelajar boleh pakai fesyen apa sahaja asalkan merah dan putih. So anak saya pakai lah T shirt merah dan putih berserta seluar panjang putih dan tudung putih. Masa assembly, ada satu teacher cina tu, suruh dia bukak tudung dgn alasan tudung tak dibenarkan di sekolah.

    Persoalannya, saya faham, tudung is not part of the school uniform. Anak saya tak pakai school uniform pun… baju luar… merah dan putih… Free Fashion…. tahun lepas pun sama tapi tak ada masalah pun… form teacher pun tak suruh bukak…

    Saya dah email pada sch principal mintak teacher ni difahamkan … saya tanya sekali.. ni teacher ada masalah ke dengan Malay Muslim…

    Saya harap perkara ni dapat diselesaikan dengan tenang… saya cuma curhat je di sini… tak paham ah bangsa mereka ni… Free Fashion pun nak control ke???

    The sch name is Zhenghua Primary… En Zainal MP dah bantu saya speak to VP. VP was not aware of this… saya reply, saya tak kisah lah kalau sekolah tu bagi surat, bagitau dgn parents no head gears is allowed. ok fine… anak saya pakai uniform je kalau gitu kan… mcm nurse … saya dulu pun gitu, gi sekolah bertudung sampai sekolah bukak lah pakai uniform… tak der masalah pun… saja je teacher bangang agaknya.

    VP baru call… dia apologize.. kisahnya sebenar, this Mdm Teng Litan ni, waktu she demanded my daughter to take off her tudung, ada satu lagi teacher intervene asking her to refer to Mr Faisal sbb Mr Faisal ni is the in charge of the Muslim Affair student kt sklh tu… but she did not do that… so bila MP called to inform the school, she peng story kata, she tak demand cuma request je… i snubbed back la… kalau request, suara tak kan tegas garang sampai budak tu takut lalu bukak tudung… I asked the VP, so if Insyirah did not take off her tudung, will Mdm Teng take disciplinary action against her? That was the implication she gave to my daughter… The VP apologize banyak banyak kali.

    I also mentioned that kalau tak mo bagi pakai head gear, then tulis surat clearly state that no head gears are allowed. Saya akan suruh anak saya pakai uniform je… lagipun saya cakap, head gears utk anak saya tu, sbb kan dia suka fesyen bertudung… tak der kena mengena dgn agama pun… saya galakkan je lah.. lagipun dah kebetulan satu tuntutan agama… so tak payahlah saya nak nasihat kan dia suruh pakai tudung kan…

  • Why I Decide to Wear the Hijab?

    Let me tell you a little story on why I decide to have them (hijab) on.

     

    Before this I’ve been neglecting my prayers. Just like other young adults, I feel like I have the time of my life. Sitting and laying on my bed alone thinking about all of the bad things I’ve done, all the prayers I’ve missed.

    Fear of the sins I’ve made in life. I’m not sure myself how sudden it was for me to feel all that at once when I did not really think of them as much as I did before the years. I also had strange feelings, mostly fears.. Like what if I don’t have much time to ask for forgiveness from my Creator. But the most terrifying feelings I felt was Death. I have no idea how it came about but in my mind it was always the thought of death. I can’t sleep at night. I couldn’t sleep, kept tossing and turning but the thought was always there that one day I stood up and tell myself; That’s it. I need to do something. 

    Could clearly remember that I rushed to the toilet, take my Wudhu, recite every Du’a I could and begged for forgiveness. I’m scared upon the punishments. I need guidance. I feel like I missed HIM and I tell myself that I want to get closer to HIM. Maybe the thought of my sins makes me realized how sinned I am as a person for not doing my Salah (Prayers).

    I’m not proud of who I was before so instead of pondering of the things I wish I could redo, I start back on my prayers and asked for guidance in life as well as forgiveness from my Creator. Then I realized maybe it’s a sign from Him, my Creator to bring me back to the path that I’ve been out of line from. I promise you, I had never felt this feeling before.. I felt peace. I felt a-new. The feeling I’ve never felt before and can’t explain how beautiful it was. I feel like I have company even when I’m lonely like I am all the time.

    In every Du’a I prayed and I thanked Allah for the blessings and the guidance/light he had showed me. Which is to show me the right path. The right way of becoming a better Muslim, and a better child. Inshallah.

    The thoughts of wearing Hijab is always been lingering on my mind but I feel that I’m still not ready because I feel that I’m still not good enough. But after weeks, Du’a and during the holy month of Ramdhan itself that I finally feel that I’m ready to take the next step. And I’m a Hijabi now. 🙂 I love the person I am now. I feel much respected. Alhamdulliah.

  • Xinjiang City Bans Beards, Hijab and Islamic Clothing on Buses

    Xinjiang City Bans Beards, Hijab and Islamic Clothing on Buses

    uighursA city in China’s mainly Muslim Xinjiang region has banned people with large beards or Islamic clothing from travelling on public buses, state media said, prompting outrage from an overseas rights group on Wednesday.

    Authorities in Karamay banned people wearing hijabs, niqabs, burkas, or clothing with the Islamic star and crescent symbol from taking local buses, the Karamay Daily reported.

    The ban also covers “large beards”, the paper said, adding: “Those who do not cooperate with inspection teams will be handled by police.”

    Xinjiang, a resource rich region which abuts central Asia, is the homeland of China’s mostly Muslim Uighur minority and has been hit by a wave of clashes between locals and security forces which have killed hundreds in the past year.

    China has blamed several deadly attacks on civilians outside the region in recent months on “terrorists” seeking independence for the region.

    Rights groups say restrictions on Uighurs’ religious and cultural freedoms have stoked tensions.

    China last month enforced a ban on students and government staff from Ramadan fasting, while officials have also tried to encourage locals in Xinjiang not to wear Islamic veils.

    The Karamay restrictions are “a typical discriminatory measure…which add to an increasing confrontation between Uighurs and Beijing,” Dilxat Raxit, a spokesman for the exiled World Uyghur Congress (WUC), said in a statement to AFP.

    Chinese state media said Sunday that nearly 100 people including 59 “terrorists” had been killed in an attack in Xinjiang last week.

    The report came days after the government-appointed head of the largest mosque in China, in one of the region’s oldest cities, Kashgar, was killed after leading morning prayers.

    China announced a year-long terrorism crackdown following a deadly bombing attack in Xinjiang’s capital Urumqi in May, and hundreds of alleged terrorists have been arrested.

    Security on public transport has also been tightened.

    The Karamay ban applies during a sports competition ending on August 20 the report said.

    Authorities in Urumqi last month banned bus passengers from carrying a range of items including cigarette lighters and yogurt, state media said.

  • ISETAN Tudung Discrimination: Write letter to Japan HQ and Contact Japan Embassy

     

    Isetan sg

    Salaam

    I’m not satisfied those managers who are responsible for this mess is anyway delegating or another words, evading to be investigated.

    Isetan Singapore gives a poor response, it’s time to reach out to ISETAN Japan HQ as well.

    Here is their management policy for your scrutiny; http://www.imhds.co.jp/english/company/philosophy.html

    Here is their management corporate data; http://www.imhds.co.jp/english/company/information.html#information01 at the bottom page of that link, there is the Japan address.

    I hope there is someone who can help write a letter to whom in that list matter (for eg. TO: The CEO or the head director etc etc..)

    After that, by dropping by the Singapore Japan Embassy to lodge a complaint and request them for assistance to have that letter forwarded to Isetan Japan (may need some cash on stand-by though just in case).

    I had somewhat something similar before with MFA a no. of years back.

    Normally foreign consulates are very hospitable when you’re reporting about their foreign business SG. Especially when it comes to the service industry.

    Hope this helps.

    P.S: Btw i did pass this suggestion to that Zafirah Edwards lady before. So far no reply. Why not try this channel. Don’t we all wish justice to be prevailed for that two irresponsible managers. And now their SOP is in such a way that the two managers does not seem to be put to task or anything set by the management. Their Japan HQ would really be interested if there’s any inconsistencies among these management levels clearly.

  • ISETAN Apologised To PUMA Tudung Sales Girl, No SOP on Attire

    Hijab sports tudung

    Hi everyone, it’s time for an update…

    After the last email sent to them, the deputy manager called. Attempting to give excuses for the managers’ actions, saying that it was due to carelessness that the managers behaved that way.

    Which is funny because they also mentioned the managers were very experienced and always do routine regulation checks on the promoters. According to the deputy manager, there is an SOP to adhere to but they did not follow the SOP for addressing a regulation problem (in this case-the attire).

    Upon further probing, on the SOP for a sensitive issue like shoplifting, the deputy manager explained that in the event of a shoplifting, the SOP that follows requires the manager to bring the shoplifter to a private area away from public eye for further investigations. Did the victim commit a crime far worse than shoplifting that it had to be addressed in the public’s eye there and then?

    And the best part, one of the managers involved in the incident tried to contact Puma directly to find out a detailed information of the victim without the knowledge of the deputy manager. In doing so, she has unknowingly revealed her identity.

    As of now, there is still no reply from them.

    The deputy manager is a nice and friendly man who is trying his best to cater to both parties and is caught in this messy situation. The managers should be the ones addressing this matter.

    Attached: screenshots of emails.
