    Al-Istiqamah Mosque Reopens After Upgrading

    The Al-Istiqamah Mosque in Serangoon North is open to the public after the completion of year-long upgrading works.

    Worshippers can now enjoy more elderly-friendly features. These include the installation of a lift to service the three-storey main building and upgraded ablution areas and toilets, including the addition of anti-slip tiles.

    The mosque was upgraded at a cost of S$1.2 million and is the fourth mosque to be completed under phase 2 of the mosque upgrading programme. The mosque can accommodate up to 3,000 worshippers.

    Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Yaacob Ibrahim visited the mosque on Friday (Nov 21), and said these improvements will help meet the changing needs of the Malay-Muslim community.

    “We can attract more of our elderly and also ensure that the mosque continues to be family-friendly. So I am quite happy with the development thus far,” he said.

    He also commended the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS) and the Muslim community for focusing on the needs of the elderly and disabled.

    “I would like to thank the community for being patient and understanding. By and large, they have been very tolerant and very supportive and we have been able to fulfil this on time,” said Dr Yaacob.

    “This is a wonderful situation in Singapore where we have a close working relationship between MUIS, mosques and the community to ensure that we continue to remain relevant to the changing needs of the community,” he added.

  • Security Guard On Probation For Having Sex With 13 Year Old Girl

    Security Guard On Probation For Having Sex With 13 Year Old Girl

    A former security guard was placed on probation for 15 months on Thursday after he admitted having sex with a 13-year-old girl who had run away from home.

    Muhammad Rohaizad Muhammad Razali, 20, is the third of four men to be dealt with for having sex with the minor, who fell pregnant and had to have an abortion.

    He befriended her on Facebook and asked her to be his girlfriend. She agreed and they had sex six times over the next month at a HDB staircase landing.

    He pleaded guilty to two of six offences committed between Feb 8 and March 8 and said he did not use protection on either occasion.

    Muhammad Rohaiza was also ordered to perform 120 hours of community service and remain indoors between 10pm and 6am. His parents have to sign a $5,000 bond to ensure his good behaviour.

    The court heard that during his month-long relationship with the girl, who is now 14, Muhammad Rohaizad would meet her almost every day near his home in Yishun. All of their sexual encounters took place in the staircase landing of a HDB block there.

    Musa Ahmad, 23, and Muhammad Nur Hakim Abdullah, 21 – who were dealt with previously – each received a year in jail.

    A fourth man, Muhammad Sharul Shah Saruwan, 20, will be sentenced on Dec 24.

    The maximum penalty for having sex with a person under 16 is 10 years in jail and a fine.

  • Man Detained In Malaysia For Burning Quran

    Man Detained In Malaysia For Burning Quran

    ALOR SETAR: Police detained a man over the discovery of several torn pages of the Quran believed to have been burned in a container at a food court near a market here, today.

    Kedah acting police chief Zakaria Yusof said the man was arrested at a supermarket in Mergong here, at 3pm yesterday.

    He said the man, whose personal details had not been ascertained, would be referred to the hospital for examination and treatment.

    “According to traders at the market, the man was often seen wandering in the market area and was also always seen burning papers (near a food court),” he said in a statement.

    Several torn pieces of pages from the Quran, which were burned, were found by a trader, after being informed by another individual, who then reported the matter to the police and the Kedah Islamic Religious Department.

    Earlier, at a media conference this evening before the man was apprehended, Zakaria said police suspected the culprit who had burned the Quran could be a deranged man but investigation was still ongoing.

    “It is hoped the public will not distort the issue for fear it will create communal misunderstanding.

    “If it was done with malicious intention we will take action under Section 298A of the Penal Code, for committing an act that could lead to disintegration of harmony and unity, feeling of dissatisfaction, prejudice based on religion, which carries a prison sentence of two to five years,” he said.
