    Osman Sulaiman: Reserved Election A Reminder From Government That Malay Community Cannot Stand On Own Merits

    Presidential Election to be held in Sept where it has been reserved for Malay candidates.

    What’s the problem some may ask? The problem is that our gov thinks that the Malays cannot stand on its own merits and constantly reminds the public about it.

    Such perceptions, if remains unchecked and not proven, will become a self-fulfilling prophecy. It is the gov that made my community to look like second class citizens.

    Remember when Mr Masagos was promoted to be a full minister, we were reminded that it was given due to ‘the progress’ of our community, implying that we were indeed not up to par prior to the promotion.

    It is sad that my community is being used to promote the gov’s political agenda and some of my community people are raising their hands in appreciation for the ‘favours.’

  • We, Muslims Are Proud Singaporeans!

    We, Muslims Are Proud Singaporeans!

    “We, Muslims are proud Singaporeans”, were the flinty words a Singapore national servicemen reportedly told The Diplomat magazine in 2014.

    He complained that Muslims serving in the Singapore military [were] routinely kept away from critical roles in air and naval units.

    His comments to The Diplomat magazine was prefaced by what had happened in Singapore in February 1915. Inexplicably the history books in the city-state have excluded the explosively, seismic event from its curriculum even as it had paralleled the Maria Hertogh riots of 1952.

    Still if there is something largely forgotten in Singapore, is the Sepoy Mutiny of 1915 when bands of Indian soldiers, namely Muslims, roamed the streets in the weeks of February 1915 hunting down and killing Europeans. The disgruntled troops were outraged when they learned – though falsely – that they would be sent to fight their co-religionists in Turkey during World War I. After breaking out of their barrack lines in what is today’s Dempsey Road, the mutineers began an orgy of rampage and killings. They even had the help of some Germans interred in Singapore.

    The outbreak occurred during Chinese New Year that year. But thanks to some Japanese, French and Russian reinforcements which the British summoned, the mutiny was quickly suppressed.

    All the mutineers were then court-martialled and tried and found guilty of the probable crime of treason.

    They were all executed in broad daylight at where now stands the Outram Park MRT to the perverted delight of onlookers who cheered when British marksmen began taking aim to shoot and kill the men standing blindfolded before them.

    It was something that British would never dare want to do in their own home turf.

    As how The Diplomat pointed, for some South Asian historians, the Singapore Mutiny is a sequel to the 1857 Sepoy Mutiny and an important milestone in the struggle for independence. The 5th Light infantry would be disbanded shortly after World War I after serving with the British Army in East Africa. Yet, Singapore would again be the site of another important rebellion involving colonial Indian troops. In 1942, the fall of Singapore, placed 40,000 Indian troops of whom nearly 30,000 would join the anti-British First Indian National Army (INA) under nationalist leader Mohan Singh. That army collapsed but, a second INA under Subas Chandra Bose joined Japanese forces during the Burmese campaign. During World War II, similar but smaller units of Indian soldiers were raised by both Germany and Italy from among Indian POWS. (http://thediplomat.com/2015/02/singapore-a-mutiny-like-no-other)

    Next week marks the 102nd anniversary of that uprising and what has been sobering is that has never received any mention in Singapore’s history books.

  • Kelantan Galak Suami Berpoligami

    Kelantan Galak Suami Berpoligami

    KOTA BHARU: Kerajaan PAS Kelantan menggalakkan suami yang memenuhi syarat mengikut tuntutan Islam untuk berpoligami.

    Bagaimanapun, Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Pembangunan Wanita, Keluarga dan Kebajikan negeri, Mumtaz Md Nawi, berkata bagi mereka yang tidak memenuhi syarat berpoligami, memadai seorang isteri bagi mengelakkan timbul masalah dalam keluarga.

    Beliau berkata, dalam Islam matlamat perkahwinan itu untuk melahirkan zuriat yang berkualiti.

    “Di Kelantan kita galakkan berkahwin sama ada perkahwinan itu yang pertama atau kedua bagi yang layak.

    “Mereka yang memenuhi syarat (berpoligami) penting luahkan (keinginan) di Mahkamah Syariah dan jangan buat tindakan kahwin di luar negara, tidak mengikuti adab atau saluran yang betul.

    “(Ini kerana) daripada perkahwinan akan ada zuriat. Jadi, kita tidak mahu anak atau isteri dinafikan hak mereka,” katanya kepada pemberita selepas majlis sambutan Hari Orang Kelainan Upaya (OKU) Maqarrabun negeri Kelantan yang dirasmikan Menteri Besar Datuk Ahmad Yakob di Balai Islam di sini, hari ini.

    Mumtaz berkata, sebagai galakan sebelum berpoligami, kerajaan negeri menerusi Jawatankuasa Pembangunan Wanita, Keluarga dan Kebajikan negeri mengadakan kuliah atau program penerangan pendidikan rumah tangga.

    “Dalam hal ini, kita adakan kuliah termasuk motivasi dalam perkahwinan, dasar keluarga mawaddah dan galakan untuk berpoligami bukan dalam bentuk duit tapi memberi ilmu.

    “Kalau kamu (suami) tak boleh berlaku adil kahwin satu saja dan kalau (mahu berpoligami) sebagai tempat untuk memuaskan nafsu, itu bukan sasarannya, ” katanya.

  • Bigot Calls Burqa-Clad Lady At MBS A “Potential Suicide Bomber”

    Bigot Calls Burqa-Clad Lady At MBS A “Potential Suicide Bomber”

    Netizen Dzahir Syirain‎ shared screenshots of an insensitive lady Candice Hong who took photos of a woman dressed in a burqa and made inflammatory comments about the lady’s dressing. For no apparent reason, Candice commented that there were “so many potential suicide bombers in MBS”.

    Contributor Dzahir did not give details on when or where these screenshots were taken but shared that such comments were saddening to see. If these comments are authentic, is this a sign of Islamophobia spreading to our Little Red Dot.

    Should Candice Hong be arrested for making such inflammatory uncalled for comments against people’s religious dressing?

  • Ingin Bantu Pelarian Syria Harungi Musim Sejuk? Semua 70 Masjid S’pura Kumpul Dana Khas Mulai Jumaat Ini

    Ingin Bantu Pelarian Syria Harungi Musim Sejuk? Semua 70 Masjid S’pura Kumpul Dana Khas Mulai Jumaat Ini

    Kita di Singapura, Malaysia dan Indonesia sedang mengalami cuaca dingin yang nyaman. Namun para pelarian Syria kini dibelenggu oleh cuaca amat sejuk, yang menggigit rantau Timur Tengah.

    Bermakna, para pelarian Syria kini memerlukan lebih banyak bantuan dan kelengkapan bagi melindungi diri mereka, selain keperluan lain seperti makanan.

    Lantaran itu, mulai Jumaat ini (3 Feb), semua 70 masjid di Singapura, dengan kerjasama Yayasan Rahmatan Lil Alamin (RLAF), akan mengadakan kutipan derma khas sempena musim sejuk, bagi membantu para pelarian Syria.

    KERJASAMA RLAF, UNHCR & MAHASISWA S’PURA DI JORDAN

    Konflik dalam negeri dan peperangan di Syria yang sudah berlarutan hampir enam tahun amat menjejas para penduduknya.

    Lebih empat juta rakyat Syria sudahpun melarikan diri dari negara itu dan mendapatkan perlindungan di negara-negara asing seperti Eropah, Turki, Jordan, Lubnan, Iraq dan Mesir.

    Di Jordan sahaja, terdapat 650,000 pelarian dan jumlah yang tinggi itu menjejas ke atas sumber-sumber di negara yang juga sedang berusaha memenuhi keperluan rakyatnya sendiri.

    Oleh itu, RLAF akan bekerjasama dengan UNHCR dan badan mahasiswa Singapura di Jordan untuk menghulurkan bantuan dalam program bantuan musim sejuk serta program-program pendidikan bagi kanak-kanak Syria.

    KEMPEN KUTIP DANA BERLANGSUNG SELAMA SEMINGGU

    Kotak-kotak derma RLAF akan diletakkan di semua 70 masjid dari Jumaat ini sehingga Khamis 9 Februari 2017 dan akan tertera tulisan “Special Winter Collection in Aid of Syrian Refugees”.

    Orang ramai boleh menghulurkan derma mereka secara tunai ataupun menerusi cek. Semua derma menerusi cek perlu diberikan kepada “RLAF” dan ditulis “Special Winter Collection in Aid of Syrian Refugees” pada bahagian belakangnya.

    Sumbangan wang tunai dan cek boleh dihantar ke Bangunan MUIS di Hab Islam Singapura, No 273, Braddell Road, Singapore 579702.

    Selain itu, orang awam juga boleh menyumbang secara online menerusi https://zakat.sg/ePayment/donations.aspx.

    RLAF PERNAH BANTU 4,000 KELUARGA SYRIA

    Pada tahun 2014, RLAF dan masjid-masjid di Singapura berjaya mengumpulkan lebih $400,000 menerusi dua usaha mengumpul dana bagi para pelarian Syria.

    Dana itu digunakan untuk mengagihkan makanan yang sudah dimasak, keperluan bagi lebih 4,000 keluarga Syria, peralatan sekolah bagi kanak-kanak pelarian Syria di tiga buah sekolah di Turki serta kit ubat-ubatan bagi klinik-klinik untuk merawat mereka yang cedera dan kurang upaya.

    Yang paling penting, RLAF dengan kerjasama Projek ASRIT (Bantuan untuk Pelarian Syria di Turki) berjaya menubuhkan Pusat Pendidikan Temasek di Kilis, selatan Turki yang mengambil 500 pelajar Syria dari peringkat tadika sehingga pos-menengah setiap tahun. Sehingga kini, pusat ini masih lagi beroperasi.
