    MUIS To Disburse $1.74 Million To Poor And Needy In Ramadan

    The Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS) will disburse about S$1.74 million to the poor and needy this Ramadan. The sum is a 20 per cent increase compared to last year, MUIS announced on Friday (Jun 26).

    A total of S$1.28 million will be disbursed to 12,624 recipients, and S$448,600 for programmes in Ramadan for zakat-receiving families as well as gift hampers for Hari Raya celebrations.

    MUIS said it has been able to offer the Ramadan bonus to more recipients as there is an increase in families and individuals who qualify for financial assistance from the revision of the 2014 Per Capita Income qualification criteria review.

    Chief Executive of MUIS Hj Abdul Razak Maricar said that each recipient will receive between S$100 and S$200, depending on family size.

    “MUIS also extends the Ramadan bonus to Muslim residents of 27 children homes and homes for the aged. This Ramadan disbursement is also used to fund mosque support programmes for the poor and needy throughout this month.”

    This year’s Ramadan bonus will be paid out from Jul 7.

  • Cathay Cinemas’ F&B No Longer Halal-Certified

    Cathay Cinemas’ F&B No Longer Halal-Certified

    Dear All Singapore Stuff,

    I am disgusted to find out that Cathay Cinema is not longer going to be Halal certified from 1 April 2015. A fellow concerned customer write in to Cathay to ask about therumours and it turn out to be true.

    Cathay claims that this is because of the introduction of new concept providing greater variety of food and drinks, result in non-renewal of their Halal certificate. This is outrageous! How can Cathay sukasuka just stop being Halal when they have it for so many years? Now Muslims customers can no longer buy Cathay cinema popcorn, hotdogs, nachos. Since you don’t provide Halal food, will you also not allow us to bring our own snacks inside the cinema?

    Like that how now?

    A netizen gave a frank view of Cathay’s decision to stop being Halal, do you think what he say is the truth? He said:

    “For those who dont understand the [Cathay’s email] reply.. ” Hi there, we wish to tell you we are no longer interested in appeasing the muslim community by providinghalal food. As the muslim community is small, it doesnt make a difference. We will gain more profit by introducing non-halal food items. Then again, those who are stupid enough will still buy our no pork no lard food products. Either way, we stilwin”.”

    Is this how Cathay view the business from the Malay community in Singapore? Should we stop patronizing from Cathay and take our business to Golden Village orFilmgarde instead?

  • Atan Flybaits: ‘Freedom of Religion’ Tidak Boleh Dijadikan Dasar Tidak Mengekang Ajaran Sesat Ahmadiya

    Atan Flybaits: ‘Freedom of Religion’ Tidak Boleh Dijadikan Dasar Tidak Mengekang Ajaran Sesat Ahmadiya

    Kami para admin SMIS Bashir , Osman, Leki dan saya pergi ke MUIS dengan tujuan mendapatkan penjelasa tentang kegiatan pengajaran ugama songsang yang menggunakan label Islam terutama nya Qadiani,

    MUIS memang akui mereka bukan Islam, tapi mereka tak boleh ambil tindakan kerana polisi premarital yang mengamal kan sikap ‘ freedom of religion’

    Kami tak setuju kerana MUIS ada lah badan ugama yang mentadbir Islam yang paling tinggi di Singapura, jadi mana mana ugama yang menggunakan label Islam adalah di bawah ‘ jurisdiction ‘ MUIS

    Tapi mereka lebih penting kan pelajaran dari pada ‘ enforcement’ ia itu mengajar anak anak muda kita supaya mereka cukup di lindungi dari pada ajaran ajaran sesat

    Mereka kata program mereka terbukti cukup bagus, kami tanya berapa besar kan ‘ avenue mereka’ dan berapa peratus kah anak anak muda yang sudah mereka rangkum

    Mereka kata 8% kami kata IRK telah meringue 100% dari anak anak kita, dan di antara sebab nya IRK di tarik keluar adalah kerana ibu bapa orang orang Taoist komplen kerana anak anak mereka di tarik masuk ke ugama Kristian

    Jadi ini bukan masaalah Islam kenapa Islam di hukum kerana kesalahan pendakwah Kristian, kami hanya mahu memastikan anak anak kami di beri pelajaran ugama bagi mendinding mereka dari anasir anasir, ajarang sesat, terorisma dan kelakuan yang membawa kerugian bagi mereka dan keluarga mereka

    MUIS juga yakin dengan jalur ini cuma mereka tidak begitu yakin yang mereka boleh melobi kepada pemerintah tentang tujuan ini

    Tapi jika rakyat bersungguh sungguh mahu kan IRK di kembali kan kami pasti pemerintah tidak ada pilihan dan terpaksa mendengar kehendak rakyat

    Oleh itu kami seru semua para ahli untuk menyokong kami memperjuangkan supaya IRK di kembali kan kepada kurikulum sekolah anak anak kita

    Dengan kedatangan orang Filipina yang berwajah melayu tapi berugama kristian, di masa yang akan dating akan membawa satu lagi masaalah jika anak anak kita mengawini mereka dan pegangan ugama anak anak kita tidak sekuat dulu, tentu nya mudah bagi mereka untuk di kristian kan

    Oleh itu sokong lah kami untuk membantu anak anak anda dan generasi yang akan datang
