    Isu Bahasa & Agama: Tidak Perlu Menghina Pengunaan Sesuatu Bahasa dan Para Penggunanya

    Baru-baru ini ada tengkarah mengenai penggunaan bahasa yang digunakan dalam kelas-kelas agama yang dijalankan di sebuah Masjid.

    Si ayah mengatakan yang beliau rasa “ditipu” kerana anaknya hadir dalam kelas madrasah sambilan yang menggunakan bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa pengantar dan bukan bahasa Inggeris, sebagaimana yang dikatakan ayah tersebut. Kata-kata yang diluahkan ayah tersebut telah mengundang reaksi yang pelbagai.

    Satu bentuk reaksi adalah kehampaan terhadap ayah tersebut yang telah mencemuh pihak Masjid dan juga para pengguna bahasa Melayu.

    Sekiranya benar bagai dikata oleh ayah tersebut, maka seharusnya pihak Masjid terbabit pastikan yang kelas-kelas madrasahnya menggunakan bahasa Inggeris dan bukan bahasa lain. Dan pihak Masjid sudahpun berikan respons yang cepat untuk tangani maklumbalas tersebut dengan segera, sambil memohon maaf.

    Namun, pada masa yang sama juga, isu ini sebenarnya dapat ditangani dengan cara yang lebih bijak. Sekiranya nak bawa juga isu ini ke tengah melalui media sosial, pendekatan yang lebih merendahkan diri akan lebih meraih simpati dan sokongan ramai. Dan setentunya, terdapat pilihan lain untuk tangani isu secara bersemuka – bertemu dengan pihak Masjid terbabit dan dapatkan penjelasan secara terus-menerus tanpa melalui hiruk-pikuk media sosial sebagai perantaraan.

    Satu perkara yang susah untuk dilepaskan atau dibiarkan begitu sahaja adalah sikap yang tertonjol jelas melalui episod ini.

    Apakah yang sikap tersebut?

    Iaitu sikap negatif terhadap penggunaan bahasa Melayu dalam pengajaran Agama. Episod ini, tidak secara langsung, mempamerkan betapa bahasa Melayu dan para penggunanya dipandang begitu rendah sekali oleh sesetengah golongan yang kelihatannya seperti berbangsa Melayu. Dan pandangan negatif itu menjadi lebih negatif apabila ianya dibawa ke dalam konteks pengajaran Agama.

    Mengapakah sampai begitu negatif sekali tanggapan sesetengah pihak terhadap penggunaan Bahasa Melayu dan para penggunanya, apatah lagi dalam konteks pengajaran Agama?

    Dan di sini juga, bukanlah berniat untuk mempertikaikan penggunaan Bahasa Inggeris dan penggunaan dalam pengajaran Agama.

    BUKAN.

    Nak pakai Bahasa Inggeris, pakailah. Silakan.

    Isunya adalah, apakah perlu memperlekehkan Bahasa Melayu dan para penggunanya dalam kontek mempertikaikan apa yang dikatakan dijanjikan oleh pihak Masjid terbabit berbanding apa yang disajikan dalam kelas?

    Tidak ada sesiapapun akan mempertikaikan hak seseorang untuk mendapatkan apa yang dijanjikan oleh pihak lain. Dan sekiranya didapati betul akan tuntutan hak tersebut, pihak yang menjanjikan memang seharusnya memenuhi janji tersebut dan memohon maaf sekiranya tidak melaksanakan janji tersebut.

    Namun, dalam menuntut hak tersebut, tidak perlu untuk melakukannya dengan cara menghina sesuatu bahasa dan para penggunanya.

  • Angry Parent: Madrasah Teachers Did Not Carry Out Lesson In English As Advertised, My Son Cannot Understand The Lessons

    Angry Parent: Madrasah Teachers Did Not Carry Out Lesson In English As Advertised, My Son Cannot Understand The Lessons

    My child goes to the mosque every Saturday for religious classes. The classes are supposed to be conducted in English but the teacher speaks Malay instead.

    Because of this, my child cannot understand what is going on and has lost interest in going to the classes. She cries every week. The religious teacher insists on using Malay in an English class and ignores those who don’t understand.

    Should I make a complaint? Who shall I address it to? MUIS or PERGAS? Why aren’t the ustazahs trained like MOE teachers? Don’t they need to have a good command of English to teach? What standards are they held to when it comes to pedagogy?

    Above all, why do they speak Malay in a religious class that is supposed to be taught in English? Isn’t that the reason why I put my children there in the first place?

    It’s sad that nothing has changed in over 20 years. I hated going to religious classes because they were ALL conducted in Malay during my time. The teachers then wouldn’t have passed an MOE interview by any means (no standard). Now, they advertise religious classes in English but end up teaching in Malay and the teachers ostracise those children who don’t speak Malay.

    Why? Does being able to speak Malay somehow make you more religious? That’s the kind of bullshit mentality that hasn’t been eradicated for over 2 decades.

    I can still remember the rubbish my Ustazah told me when I was a kid…

    “Nak percaya Quran ke nak percaya scientist?”

    All because I asked why Allah never mentioned about dinosaurs.

    Utter bullshit.

  • One Year On, Mother Of MRT Accident Victim Says The Family Does Not Blame Anyone

    One Year On, Mother Of MRT Accident Victim Says The Family Does Not Blame Anyone

    Madam Norizan Ismail still remembers the exact question from her husband that sparked her fears that their son Nasrulhudin Najumudin may have been involved in a train accident near the Pasir Ris MRT station.

    “Did Nasrul contact you?” her husband Najumudin Mohd Sahabudin, a technical officer who works in SMRT, asked on the phone.

    He was then managing the crowd after train services were suspended following the accident on March 22 last year, and rang home after hearing that the victims were from their son’s department.

    When Madam Norizan, 55, later received confirmation that her 26-year-old son was one of the two fatalities, she broke down: “I was speechless. I felt my entire body shaking… I just cried.”

    To this day, she gets emotional thinking about her son, who died along with Mr Muhammad Asyraf Ahmad Buhari, 24, in the accident.

    Not long after she got home that day, SMRT’s chief executive and her son’s manager arrived to explain what had happened, she said.

    “They supported us,” she added simply of the company.

    She said SMRT provided her family and Mr Asyraf’s family with cars for them to visit the graves in the weeks following the accident. The pair were buried side by side.

    Both families held prayers last week to mark the anniversary of the two victims’ deaths.

    Madam Norizan said the most emotional period for her close-knit family in the past year was having to spend their first Hari Raya without Mr Nasrulhudin.

    “Before that incident, once or twice a year, we would have a family holiday,” she said, reminiscing about their last trip to Malaysia, in January last year. “We always made an effort to spend time together.”

    Despite the pain, Madam Norizan, who revealed that she prays for her third son every day, appeared forgiving towards the SMRT.

    The rail operator was fined $400,000 last month for failing to take the necessary measures to ensure the safety and health of employees who had to access the train tracks during traffic hours.

    “When we read about it (the fine), we felt bad,” said the customer service supervisor.

    “As far as our family is concerned, nobody wanted this to happen. We are not blaming anyone.

    “Even the supervisor… He has suffered enough because of this incident. It must have been traumatic for him.”

  • SPH Radio Fined $7000 For Offensive Comments By Kiss92FM Morning Show DJs

    SPH Radio Fined $7000 For Offensive Comments By Kiss92FM Morning Show DJs

    SPH Radio has been slapped with a S$7,000 financial penalty by the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) for breaching the Free-To-Air Radio Programme Code.

    On Jan 11, deejays on Kiss92FM were discussing about the study on the sleeping patterns of Singaporeans during their on-air morning segment. In the process of interpreting the findings obtained from the study, the deejays voiced remarks which “stereotyped certain races”. These remarks were deemed offensive by some listeners.

    In a statement on Tuesday (March 21), the IMDA said: “As a free-to-air broadcaster, SPH Radio is expected to comply with the Free-To-Air Radio Programme Code which seeks to ensure that radio programmes maintain a standard that is acceptable to the community.

    “A key obligation under the Code is for broadcasters to avoid racial and religious stereotyping and ensure that content which denigrates or is likely to offend the sensitivities of any racial or religious group in Singapore is not aired.”
