  • Bazaar Ramadan Controversy Unnecessary, More Transparency Needed From PAP MP

    Bazaar Ramadan Controversy Unnecessary, More Transparency Needed From PAP MP

    Yang Berhormat Ahli Parliament Geylang Serai

    Call the Ramadan Bazaar at Geylang Serai by any name, it doesn’t matter. Few will also object if you want to open it to those who want to sell non-halal food.

    But do be upfront. Be transparent and please inform the public so as to avoid confusion and creating a controversy. An unnecessary one too, that should be best avoided especially in the month of Ramadan.

    Most of us including myself have always thought that the Bazaar which coincides with Ramadan only sell halal food; so try to appreciate how upsetting it could be when we discover otherwise.

    To matter matters worse, you seem to be taking the high moral ground and trying to pin the blame on us insinuating that we are against inclusiveness.

    We can assure you that we are all for inclusiveness and multiracialism and have no objection to change the nature of the bazaar to include sale of non-halal food.

    But don’t do it surreptitiously.

    My regrets for speaking so plainly in the month of Ramadan.

  • Alternative Return Flights Arranged For Singaporeans In Mecca; May Be Used For Future Pilgrimages

    Alternative Return Flights Arranged For Singaporeans In Mecca; May Be Used For Future Pilgrimages

    Close to 300 Singaporeans who are in Mecca for umrah, a minor pilgrimage, are scheduled to return on alternative airlines, after Qatar Airways’ licence was revoked by Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.

    Mr Mustafa Jumat, vice-president of the Association of Muslim Travel Agents Singapore (Amtas), told The Straits Times yesterday that most Singaporeans have settled their return flight details. They also did not experience any major disruptions to their travel plans.

    “Qatar Airways assisted them and directed them to alternative airlines,” said Mr Jumat. Some of these alternatives include Malaysia Airlines, Etihad Airways and Emirates.

    Although the schedules of Singaporeans in Mecca are largely unaffected, their return flight routes will differ, with different stopovers.

    The disruptions started on Tuesday, when Saudi Arabia revoked Qatar Airways’ licences and ordered it to close its offices within 48 hours.

    The move came amid a diplomatic rift between Qatar and a powerful bloc in the Arab world – Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates – who are accusing it of supporting terrorism across the region.

    On its website, Qatar Airways indicated that all flights to the four states will be suspended “until further notice”.

    Should the ban continue, Mr Jumat said that alternative travel plans may be required for groups scheduled to go on pilgrimages in October and November this year.

  • Advisory: For Those Planning To Visit Bazaar Geylang

    Advisory: For Those Planning To Visit Bazaar Geylang

    Amaran Bagi Yang Nak Ke Bazaar Geylang.

    Amaran #1

    Barang siapa yang nak ke Bazaar Geylang, walaupun tu status Facebook awak, elakkan dari menaip status yg berbau kebodohan tahap gaban. Elakkan dari menaip status seperti,

    “ALAMAK!!! Amacam boleh jumpa dekni kat sini plak!”.

    Ingat. Awak tu bukan Ronaldo atau Beyoncé. Jangan nak feeling ‘famous’ dan orang tak boleh terjumpa atau tegur. Ni Bazaar Geylang! Orang Melayu Muslim mesti lah turun sini. Kalau taknak orang yang kita kenal jumpa pergi taman haiwan!

    Amaran #2

    Barang siapa yang nak pergi Geylang untuk tangkap handsome dan jambu, please make sure muka handsome dan jambu. Jangan step pergi Geylang dgn sebab,

    “I nak beli dendeng ahh…”.

    Padahal nak tangkap handsome. Pada minah2 yg nak tangkap jambu kat Bazaar Geylang, bedak muka dengan warna tengkuk make sure tonasi jangan lari banyak! Foundation mata tak payah nak tarak mcm gila. Nanti orang ingat Kai Kai dan Jia Jia dah susah! Takut nampak beruang panda kat Bazaar!

    Amaran #3

    Harap sesiapa yang ke Bazaar Geylang sabar dengan kesesakkan orang di sana. Jangan jadi bangang tanya kat Facebook ‘kenapa ada ramai orang sey?’ Ini Bazaar Geylang! Kalau nak senyap dan takde orang, pergi kubur! Library these days pon dah bising…

    Amaran #4

    Pada minah2 baru nak 7Up, jangan feeling orang tgh tgk kan muka awak yg Mak masih cucikan seluar dalam dengan menaip status yg berbunyik,

    “Stoppit seyyy dari tadi tengok aku! Irritz purgh!”.

    Eh Bangau! Mungkin dia tengok kau pasal beberapa perkara. Antaranya,

    a) Muka kau mcm orang dia kenal.

    b) Kau pakai baju low-cut neckline nya tapi masih tak nampak apa-apa (Tipah tertipu!)

    7) Mata yang tengok kau tu juling air.

    KALAU TAKNAK ORANG TENGOK, PERGI DUDUK BELAKANG ESBOK RUMAH MAK KAU DAN TOLONG MAK BUAT KUIH BADAK BERENDAM!

    Muka dah macam ikan cium-cium ada hati nak feeling orang tengok…TUIKK!!!! 😂😂😂

    PS: Saya tak marah. Saya cuma keluarkan lendir aje
