  • Minah Tudung Ambil Jam Tangan Orang Lain di Causeway Point

    Stomper Ridwan was incensed to find out that a total strange had claimed a recently-purchased watch his family left behind at a food court in Causeway Point.

    After reviewing video footage of the incident recorded on the food court’s CCTV system, he has since lodged a report with the police.

    In his report, Stomper Ridwan wrote:

    “On Jan 24, I went with my family to Bagus, a food court in Causeway Point foodcourt, for dinner at about 7.45pm.

    “We left the area at around 8.15pm after dinner but accidentally left behind a small black plastic bag, which contained a Casio watch that my mum had just bought a few hours back.

    “When we realised what had happened at 9pm, we quickly rushed to the foodcourt and asked the manager if they had seen a small plastic bag that had a watch in it.

    “To our suprise, the manager told me that the watch had already been claimed by a shameless lady, pictured in the video, even though the item was obviously not hers.

    “We think she may have seen the watch after a cleaner took it out from the bag to confirm it was not rubbish to be thrown away.

    “All her actions have been captured on the CCTV video, and a police report have been filed.

    “This lady is a disgrace to the community!”

  • KENYATAAN World Hijab Day Singapore

    1523787_349468618526485_980040486_o1523343_349468721859808_1839669365_o
    Assalamu’alaikum.

    Bismillahirahmannirrahim.

    Salams everyone. I would like to finally introduce myself. I am Seri Fatmawati Hambali, Ambassador of World Hijab Day Singapore.

    It is with regret and sadness that we announce World Hijab Day Singapore (WHDS) will cease its operations today.
    WHDS had tried to showcase the beauty of the hijab. We were confident that every Singaporean would celebrate the diversity that marks our society.

    We wanted to bring the joy and celebration that the occasion deserves.

    But it is not to be.

    While we tried to relay the positive messages of the WHD, the authorities responded with suspicion and threats.
    We were pressured by the authorities when we attempted to seek a friendly ‘public view’ and conduct ‘ground research’ in early December for our WHDS promo video. Similarly, our attempts to organise a meeting with our wonderful supporters to update them and to discuss our plans for the short film resulted in intense scrutiny.

    Some of our members received threats that being involved may jeopardise their livelihood and affect their families. Facing pressure and threats, they decided to leave the committee. It left only a handful of us to continue the project.

    WHDS was meant to be a celebration. But the authorities’ response made it impossible for the celebration to take place.

    We make du’a that World Hijab Day on 1st February will be a success. May Allah swt grant WHD ease and to be freed from every fitnah in this trying times. We have total faith in WHD’s mission in creating Better Awareness, Greater Understanding and a Peaceful World.

    Even as WHDS has to cease our operations, the WHD message should still continue. Everyone has a role to play. Even as simple as spreading awareness to our Non-Muslim friends.

    Let us make these efforts.

    Let us show that even in diversity, we are UNITED as Singaporeans. Do dakwah on those who do not understand. Help to dispel the misconception or doubts that they may have on our religion with peace and patience.

    We apologise for all our shortcomings and I hope each and everyone of you had enjoyed this day in your own intimate gatherings with your loved ones. In Shaa Allah, all our efforts is for no other purpose than to attain His blessing.

    Our committee will be disbanded with immediate effect.

    No further postings will be made on this page.

    Jazakallahu Khairan.

  • CONFESSION: REGRET WEARING HIJAB

    I have considered for a very long time before writing this. It is personal and extremely controversial especially at this moment but I just want to share my story. While writing this brief life story, please do not judge me for my action.

    I am a Muslimah and I want to take off my Hijab. I have been thinking about this for years.

    I started wearing the Hijab when I was still in my early teens. A few of my best friends had been talking about it because there were very few people around us were doing it. We thought that it would be unique and we will be taken noticed by people. Being young, we soon decided to do it. After toying with the idea for weeks, I went to my friend’s house for a visit after school one day and it was then that she decided to dressed up and put on a Hijab. I decided to do it too and borrowed a Hijab from her. We left the house feeling extremely proud of ourselves. I felt so excited about wearing it unaware of the consequences more so when close friends were also wearing it.

    I went home that day and told my family of my decision to wear the Hijab. My father was surprised but felt that I was not ready due to my tender age but my mom was indifferent about the issue. There were those who asked if I was mad but I had do it. My close friends were wearing it and I didn’t want to be an outcast. Eventually, my father relented. I was so happy and I was busy matching my clothes with a pretty headscarves. There were people who called me stylish and pretty. I saw it as a major way of getting compliments and I realised I could get boys’ attention easily. Sadly, I didn’t do it for Islam or Allah and I sure didn’t understand the real reason behind the Hijab. I just wanted to be different from most other girls. It felt I was celebrated when I don the Hijab, I received so much flattery and encouragement that I felt that it was just the right thing to do.

    As any teenager, I faced the usual highs and lows of teenage life. Although Hijab was not a hindrance to my life but I am unsure if it was the right decision then. At first, it was like good. The attire kept away evil eyes and give people the modest impression. It enabled me to get the attention from boys that I fancy and I was still able to go out as normal with the boys. After a short few years, I started considering removing the Hijab. I felt unattractive, boring and restricted by the way how people perceived I should behave. It was not that I wanted to behave slutty or whatsoever but I just felt so bounded by the society. I cannot be myself. I cannot be the noisy, happy, funny girl when I’m at home. I felt that I was losing my sense of individuality and identity. I felt just like one of the girls. I began to dislike leaving the house. I felt ugly but after wearing it for years, I have no real reasons to remove it. I felt that there was pressure as people around me will start questioning me if I remove it. I felt an immense pressure to conform. Even when I leave the house, I walk with my head down and my eye fixed on the ground. I lost my self confidence and constantly feeling unsure of myself. I really have no intention to do anything haraam and I dress very modestly.

    I worked hard in school but I realised I started to have very low self-esteem. It was only later that I realised some Muslimah are hypocritical. There were those who wear the Hijab but with really tight clothing showing their figure. There were also those who wear clothing that shows faint outline of their G-string or those who unbutton their top revealing a little cleavage. Just the other day, I even observed a man ogling at a non-Muslim girl in the presence of his wife who dons a Hijab. I now realised that I didn’t really doubt Allah. I was questioning the reality of Muslims nowadays. I want to remove all restrictions and relive, relearn, realise the true face of my religion without any feelings of suffocation. I know I could be despised by the society but I’m sure Allah will understand and eventually forgive. He knows deep down why I am doing this.

    I had been having this continuous struggle for years and thinking of it every single day. The thoughts of removing off the Hijab are haunting me. If Islam is really about patience and merciful, I hope to eventually find peace with Allah but away from restrictions, especially the rules created by the society. All I want is to rediscover Islam without any frustrations and the freedom to differentiate what Allah told us to follow and what the community is currently doing. I know I will become close to Allah and truly understand the meaning of a true Muslimah.

  • Isu Tudung: PKMS hantar surat terbuka pada PM Lee

    CITYSCAPE 017

    29th Januari 2014

    MR LEE HSIEN LOONG
    PRIME MINISTER OF SINGAPORE
    PRIME MINISTER’S OFFICE
    ORCHARD ROAD

    SINGAPORE 238823

    PER: ISU TUDUNG

    Yang dihormati Perdana Menteri Encik Lee,

    Pertubuhan Kebangsaan Melayu Singapura (PKMS) memahami Pemerintah harus menjaga keperluan dan keharmonian semua kaum tetapi di masa yang sama Pemerintah juga harus menjaga keperluan masyarakat Melayu Islam Singapura seperti yang termaktub di dalam Perlembagaan Singapura artikel 152(2) di mana masyarakat Melayu Islam Singapura diberi hak istimewa termasuk melindungi dan menyokong tuntutan beragama seperti membenarkan kaum Muslimah memakai tudung.

    Pembentukan Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS) menurut Perlembagaan Singapura artikel 153 adalah bertujuan menasihati Pemerintah dalam hal ehwal agama Islam Singapura. Kenyataan Mufti Negara menerangkan betapa pentingnya kaum Muslimah memakai tudung adalah tepat dan benar. Permasalahan Agama ada penyelesaiannya, Pemerintah harus akur.

    Masyarakat Singapura umumnya telah menerima pemakaian tudung dengan hati yang terbuka kerana telah lebih dari sepuluh tahun perkara ini dibentangkan. Di sebaliknya ia telah meningkatkan lagi persefahaman, toleransi dan keharmonian kaum tanpa disedari. Di samping itu nilai kesopanan serta keperibadian diri yang tinggi dapat dijaga dengan lebih baik.

    Bertudung bukanlah suatu isu yang tidak dapat dihuraikan kerana ia adalah tuntutan hukum Syariah yang telah diperintahkan oleh ALLAH SWT ke atas hambanya serta ia telah disepakati oleh golongan Ulama yang Muktabar.

    Pertubuhan Kebangsaan Melayu Singapura (PKMS) sangat berharap Perdana Menteri memahami betapa pentingnya pemakaian tudung ini ke atas kaum Muslimah Singapura yang ingin menunaikan kewajipan mereka.

    Sokongan padu Perdana Menteri Lee Hsien Loong amat dihargai dalam memberi kelonggaran kepada kaum Muslimah Singapura memakai tudung di kesemua sektor-sektor Pemerintah.

    BERSATU BERSEDIA BERKHIDMAT

    Terima kasih.
