  • MCCY And NAC Must Come Clean On Exorbitant Consultation Fees For Bin Centre

    MCCY And NAC Must Come Clean On Exorbitant Consultation Fees For Bin Centre

    The AGO report has revealed lots of lapses, including an eye-popping $410,000 consultancy fee for a $470,000 bin centre.

    Whoever authorised the payment at the National Arts Centre has to be held accountable and the MCCY owes the public an explanation.

    Instead, MCCY Minister Grace Fu defended her subordinate and claimed that it was a “complex” project requiring “significantly more design expertise”. Fu is wrong to assume the public could be taken for a ride easily.

    Should Fu decide to conduct an internal investigation and if it uncovers “more than meets the eye”, the CPIB may need to put in some OT. I am not alleging any wrongdoing but this should not be ruled out as the amount of tax dollars involved is more than 7 times the amount paid by NParks for 26 Brompton bicycles.

    In 2012, former MND Minister Khaw had defended NParks’ purchase without any inside information. Khaw’s knee-jerk defence made him look foolish when CPIB investigations subsequently revealed a NParks’ director had purchased $57,200 worth of bicycles from a friend.

    Fu has got to be kidding by refusing to even conduct an internal investigation. Worse, she insisted on behaving like her SMOS and has started to chut pattern (warning: do not watch video if you feel like puking).

    The $410,000 consultancy fee could have bought 186 Brompton bikes for NParks or 100,000 plates of mee siam without cockles for her boss.

    The following information should be disclosed to public:

    1 The name of NAC director.

    2 The name of the consultant.

    3 The relationship between the consultant and the director

    4 The amount overcharged by the consultant

    5 Action to be taken against director’s overspending of tax dollars.

    So how complex is the construction of NAC’s bin centre? Does it require 56 man-years?

  • ISURAMUYA Japanese Restaurant At JCube Is Not MUIS Halal-Certified

    ISURAMUYA Japanese Restaurant At JCube Is Not MUIS Halal-Certified

    Dear Muslim people in this FB Group, Please take note!

    ISURAMUYA Japanese Restaurant at Jcube is NOT HALAL CERTIFIED BY MUIS. The restaurant DO NOT HAVE any Halal certification awarded by MUIS. However, the restaurant FB page indicates that it is a Halal certified restaurant, and the shopping mall Jcube has also advertised them as Halal, and has abused the Halal MUIS sticker, as displayed in the image below.

    Please understand and know that only Halal certified restaurants are ALLOWED to use the Halal MUIS sticker. Any restaurant or eatery who is in the process of application, have yet to apply or are deemed unsuitable to be awarded the Halal cert ARE NOT ALLOWED to display the Halal certification. However, Jcube has displayed the Halal sticker below, misleading the Muslim consumers into believing that it is a Halal certified restaurant. It is an offence under the Administration of Muslim Law Act.

    Unless the restaurant claims that it is Muslim-owned, it is NOT safe for consumption as long it is NOT properly certified by MUIS. Ingredients such as the sauces contain mirin, sake, mentsuyu sauce usually has ALCOHOL CONTENT, and only MUIS can verify the ingredients used for the sauces. The chicken meat in the restaurant might also not be properly slaughtered in accordance to Halal standard.

    Dear consumers I urge all of you to refrain yourself from eating at such restaurants that do not have a valid Halal certificate, although they claim they are in the process. Be safe, because the food we consume affects the ibadah we make.

    Check on the list of Halal restaurants by MUIS here:

    **Please refer to my correspondence with MUIS in the images below to read their response.

  • What’s Up With Loan Junkies? Owe Money Pay Money Lah!

    What’s Up With Loan Junkies? Owe Money Pay Money Lah!

    Why do some people even think it’s okay to borrow money from others, promise to pay back by a certain date, come up with 101 excuses when it’s time to pay, and then finally stop replying to your messages or worse still, block you everywhere? EH??

    WHAT’S UP WITH THESE LOAN JUNKIES?

    I made the mistake of trusting a friend. He was my good friend. (Or I thought he was.) I believed his story when he asked to borrow. I did not even think twice about helping him. But he stopped replying to my messages after promising this and that. He is still in my FB list. Saw him having an open house (which I was not invited to, dang!) and celebrating raya like a normal functional family. Happy for him. ?

    Money can indeed turn friends or family members into strangers, huh?

    You know what really gets my goat?
    The borrower will make the lender feel bad for wanting him/her to repay the amount owed. The lender on the other hand, ends up being A NAG, BAD WOLF, and THE CALCULATIVE ONE.

    Where’s the logic even, dude?

    Perhaps next time, before these loan junkies even think about borrowing money from someone, they should borrow a sense of responsibility first.

  • Khairudin Aljunied: Critics Of “Arabisation” Of Malay Culture Engage In Baseless Fear-Mongering

    Khairudin Aljunied: Critics Of “Arabisation” Of Malay Culture Engage In Baseless Fear-Mongering

    About Arabisation of the Malays

    So much has been said recently on the alleged trend of Arabisation among the Malays. This fear of Malays becoming Arabized has become so chronic (ironically even among Arabs here who want Malays to still respect them as Sayyids) that there are calls for Malays to become less “Arab” . What these people are actually calling for is quite superficial.

    1. Don’t dress like Arabs. (Most of my Arab friends actually prefer wearing Tshirts and track pants).

    2. Avoid using Arabic words. (Eid Mubarak must not be replaced by Selamat Hari Raya. Funny because my Morroccan friend said Hari Raya is preferable because he can celebrate for a month when Arabs do it for only a day).

    3. Keep away from Arab versions of Islam, aka strict, rigid and literalist sort. (Try asking an Arab friend out with a Malay dude to tag along. You will realize the Arab one won’t look for Halal signs and check ingredients for E227).

    So what is actually the issue here? At the heart of this Arabisation scare is actually two things. First, it works to the advantage of close-minded secularized folks who cannot accept that Muslims are becoming more cosmopolitan in their adoption of other cultures, blending Arab, Western, Indian and Malay motifs in the things they wear, eat and in their speeches. They just want Malays to be Western. Full stop. They don’t fancy Malay culture of respect for the elderly and are in utter disdain of age-old Malay customs which the Arabs who brought Islam here didn’t actually change.

    More crucially, these people actually look down at the Malays. They feel that Malays are easily swayed by the many influences that bring them away from their pure and authentic culture, which in reality, is a product of interactions with so many civilizations. For them, Malays cannot think for themselves. They will do the thinking and the way forward is to remove Arabic traces in Malay thought, language and traditions, and finally Islam.

    So the next time you read stuff about Malays getting more Arabized and meet people who advocate such shallow thinking, sit back and have a good laugh. These people know very little about what they are talking about. It makes it worse when their names are Ahmad, Ismail and Faridah. And yet, before you head off (which you should) to leave them to their devices, spare a thought to say the Arabic word, Salam. Because that’s what the Arabic-language Quran teaches us when dealing with the ignorant.

    Peace.
