  • Sekolah Larang Pakai Hijab Pada Sambutan Hari Kebangsaan Walaupun Tidak Beruniform

    Sekolah Larang Pakai Hijab Pada Sambutan Hari Kebangsaan Walaupun Tidak Beruniform

    singapore national day

    Assalamu’alaikum…. haaaahhh…. hari ni saya nak luahkan perasaan sedih… Hari ni adalah hari sambutan hari kebangsaan singapura (sengaja xmo letak caps) di semua sekolah.

    So, hari ini semua pelajar boleh pakai fesyen apa sahaja asalkan merah dan putih. So anak saya pakai lah T shirt merah dan putih berserta seluar panjang putih dan tudung putih. Masa assembly, ada satu teacher cina tu, suruh dia bukak tudung dgn alasan tudung tak dibenarkan di sekolah.

    Persoalannya, saya faham, tudung is not part of the school uniform. Anak saya tak pakai school uniform pun… baju luar… merah dan putih… Free Fashion…. tahun lepas pun sama tapi tak ada masalah pun… form teacher pun tak suruh bukak…

    Saya dah email pada sch principal mintak teacher ni difahamkan … saya tanya sekali.. ni teacher ada masalah ke dengan Malay Muslim…

    Saya harap perkara ni dapat diselesaikan dengan tenang… saya cuma curhat je di sini… tak paham ah bangsa mereka ni… Free Fashion pun nak control ke???

    The sch name is Zhenghua Primary… En Zainal MP dah bantu saya speak to VP. VP was not aware of this… saya reply, saya tak kisah lah kalau sekolah tu bagi surat, bagitau dgn parents no head gears is allowed. ok fine… anak saya pakai uniform je kalau gitu kan… mcm nurse … saya dulu pun gitu, gi sekolah bertudung sampai sekolah bukak lah pakai uniform… tak der masalah pun… saja je teacher bangang agaknya.

    VP baru call… dia apologize.. kisahnya sebenar, this Mdm Teng Litan ni, waktu she demanded my daughter to take off her tudung, ada satu lagi teacher intervene asking her to refer to Mr Faisal sbb Mr Faisal ni is the in charge of the Muslim Affair student kt sklh tu… but she did not do that… so bila MP called to inform the school, she peng story kata, she tak demand cuma request je… i snubbed back la… kalau request, suara tak kan tegas garang sampai budak tu takut lalu bukak tudung… I asked the VP, so if Insyirah did not take off her tudung, will Mdm Teng take disciplinary action against her? That was the implication she gave to my daughter… The VP apologize banyak banyak kali.

    I also mentioned that kalau tak mo bagi pakai head gear, then tulis surat clearly state that no head gears are allowed. Saya akan suruh anak saya pakai uniform je… lagipun saya cakap, head gears utk anak saya tu, sbb kan dia suka fesyen bertudung… tak der kena mengena dgn agama pun… saya galakkan je lah.. lagipun dah kebetulan satu tuntutan agama… so tak payahlah saya nak nasihat kan dia suruh pakai tudung kan…

  • SG Malay Complain Noisy Chinese Funeral Lasted Several Days

    Not trying to be racist or rude here but what if this were to be a malay wedding?

    Confirm people will complain till the police come. I won’t talk about how bright was the light and people talking loudly last night and the other night.

    But hey, what if that was our “rewang”? Confirm you guys complain and police will come also. This is noisy but I don’t mind at all, I don’t mind since early in this morning till now about this noise.

    I don’t mind my son afternoon nap is being disturb. I don’t mind about my health problem due to this noise. Cause I respect your culture. Even if this noise will end for few days.

    But just imagine if this were to be a malay wedding …. I believe there will be alot of complaining. I’m gonna keep this and last night video in case on my wedding day there will be complains.

    All I asking is for everyone to respect each other culture and stop complaining!

    If I can respect yours why can’t you??

    EDITOR’S NOTE

    This is the reality living in HDB.

    The principles of coexistence and tolerance are important as bases for building mutually acceptable relationships between highly diverse communities within a larger society.

    Singapore is a multi-racial and multi-religious society. Different racial and religious groups have their own beliefs and practices, understanding one and another can build networks of trust across different communities. Being mindful when speaking can also avoid clashes – a careless comment may ignite an argument which may in turn snowball into bigger-scale disputes.

    We would think that the strong bonds and trust between people was the key.

  • Workers’ Party on Hijab Issue: Government Should Conduct Constructive Public Consultations

    Meet-the-People Sessions (MPS)
    Every Wednesday, 7.30pm – 9.30pm

    Party: The Workers’ Party

    By MP for Aljunied GRC, Muhamad Faisal Abdul Manap
    [Delivered in Committee of Supply on 12 March 2014]

    Since 2011 the government had set out to foster social cohesion and to build an inclusive society through the budget. While an ‘inclusive society’ means different things to different people, it is important to know that a fundamental tenet of an inclusive society is the tolerant and respectful embrace of the cultures and values that each community in Singapore holds dear.

    In the context of the ‘new normal’ in Singapore society, Singaporeans are increasingly more vocal and want their views to be heard. I believe that in fostering multiculturalism, public dialogue and constant consultations are the way forward. In the case of the recent hijab issue, to the best of my understanding, the dialogue that was conducted with representatives of the Malay community was more of a platform for the government to convey its stand, rather than a dialogue. This is because the government has already came to the decision of not allowing hijab to be worn prior to the dialogue session instead of making decision at or after the session. I am of the view that the government should enhance not only the manner in which it communicates but also its attitude when performing the communicating. At the same time, consultation with one community alone is inadequate as it may lead to hasty conclusions and unnecessary assumptions. A more constructive approach would be public consultations conducted with different stakeholders, and the different ethnic communities. The Singaporeans I meet from the different ethnic communities understand that the final policy outcomes may not go according to their preferences. Nonetheless, they hope that the government should also understand that the process is equally important to them.

    It is the responsibility of any government not to overtly impose its assumptions on any issue, particularly on sensitive and emotional issues. Rather it should base its understanding on scientific findings and in the event that such information is not available, commission a study on the matter. The government should also make available the information that it has. Public engagement and consultations that adopt a more transparent, forthright and comprehensive approach would allow us to better understand the issue at large and the context and the nuances behind each issue. I hope the Minister would agree with me that such an approach would bring us closer to a consensus that is workable, productive and acceptable by the various stakeholders involved. That should be the way forward towards an inclusive society and a multicultural Singapore.
