  • Confirmed That Malay Race Is Essentially Muslim, All Indian Muslims Are Malays But Christian Malays Are Not Malays

    Confirmed That Malay Race Is Essentially Muslim, All Indian Muslims Are Malays But Christian Malays Are Not Malays

    At the Institute of Policy forum yesterday (Sep 8), Minister of State Chan Chun Sing and Senior Minister of State Janil Puthucheary both confirmed that the Malay race is essentially Muslim and that all Indian Muslims are Malays, and Christian Malays are not Malays.

    The two Ministers were responding to a Malay Christian IPS professor Dr Mathew Mathews and NUS law professor Dr Kevin Tan. Minister Chan Chun Sing said it is “common-sensical” a person’s race is decided by the 16-member committee under Lee Hsien Loong:

    “A 16-member committee will certify a prospective candidate’s racial group. The very concept of race evolves and the system to determine one’s race should not take a definitive, restrictive, exclusive approach. The community must come to terms (with) who best represents them. If the community accepts someone… then who else outside the community will want to dispute that and who else in the community will want to dispute that? So it’s a very common-sensical way to allow the community to decide for themselves.”

    Senior Minister Janil Puthucheary told Dr Mathew Mathews that he might be a Malay but he will be denied the contest because he is Christian. The Minister then tell the Christian Malay to contest in an “open” election:

    “If the Malay community changes its aspirations and its sense of what makes a Malay five years from now, there should be a way to reflect that in the choice of candidate, without us having to go for a potentially very divisive Constitutional amendment. The hypothetical individual mentioned by Dr Mathew could feel excluded, but the individual could still contest in an open election.”

    NUS law professor Dr Kevin Tan confirmed that the government having the final call on what race a person is is unconstitutional:

    “That the decisions of the Community Committee— which also assesses minority candidates under the Group Representation Constituency system in General Elections — are final, is also a problem. That is probably unconstitutional… The basic fundamental principle about the separation of powers is that if the court has to interpret the constitution, no branch of the Government can tell the court what to do.”

  • Singaporeans Imran Kassim and Shakirah Begam Abdul Wahab Arrested Under ISA For Terror-Related Activities

    Singaporeans Imran Kassim and Shakirah Begam Abdul Wahab Arrested Under ISA For Terror-Related Activities

    Two Singaporeans – Imran Kassim, 34, and Shakirah Begam Abdul Wahab, 23, were arrested in July under the Internal Security Act (ISA) for terror-related activities. Imran Kassim was issued with an Order of Detention for intending to undertake armed violence overseas while Shakirah Begum was issued with a Restriction Order for initiating and maintaining contact with foreign terrorist fighters

    In a news release, MHA said Imran was radicalised by the violent propaganda of Islamic State (IS). He had tried to make his way to Syria to join IS on at least two occasions – in 2014 and 2015.  According to the authorities, he has also admitted that he was prepared to attack Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) personnel deployed in the global coalition to fight IS, or hold them hostages to demand ransom from the Singapore Government. “His radical and pro-militant views attracted the attention of people close to him, who then reported him to the authorities,” said MHA.

    As for the other suspect Shakirah, MHA said had actively initiated online contact with IS foreign fighters operating in the conflict zone, after learning of their activities from mainstream media reports and online sources. “She came across social media details of a foreign terrorist fighter and decided to initiate contact with him. Over time, she expanded her online contacts to several other foreign fighters,” said MHA. It added that Shakirah, an administrative assistant, did so mainly because she enjoyed their attention, and not because she had been deeply radicalised by the violent propaganda of IS.

  • Orang Tak Solat Tapi Hidup Bahagia, Orang Yang Solat, Banyak Betul Ujian

    Orang Tak Solat Tapi Hidup Bahagia, Orang Yang Solat, Banyak Betul Ujian

    Cuba berborak dengan orang yang tidak pernah solat. Tanya dia kenapa tidak solat. Tak takut dosa ker. Jika dijawabnya malaslah, tak sempatlah namun dalam masa yang sama dalam diri dia tetap ada rasa bersalah, dia berdosa tapi iman masih ada dalam diri dia. Namun demikian, jika dijawabnya, tak solatpun boleh hidup senang lenang, tak ada masalah pun. Jika disambung lagi, tengok orang yang solat tak pernah tinggal tapi hidup susah memanjang. Apa guna solat katanya. Itu tandanya imamnya makin goyang. Tak mustahil dia boleh tergelincir akidah. Apatahlagi jika dia anggap solat tidak wajib sudah sah gugur akidah dia. Nauzubillahi min zalik.
     
    Banyak orang tidak solat sebab inilah. Sebab pertama dia ukur diri dia. Kedua dia ukur orang lain. Bila dia ukur diri dia – dia tak solat tapi hidup tetap gembira. Duit senang lenang. Bisnes maju. Tidak pernah rasa sakit. Tidak pernah rasa bimbang. Makan berselera macam biasa. Jadi dia rasa tak ada bezanya dia solat ke tidak. Buat apa susah-susah solat kalau semua yang dia nak ada depan mata. Ukuran kedua dia lihat orang lain. Orang lain yang hari-hari ke masjid, solat wajib tidak pernah tinggal, solat sunat hari-hari buat tapi dia tengok orang tu tak sesenang diapun. Naik motor buruk macam tu jugak. Rumah dinding papan buruk berbumbungkan zink bertampal-tampal macam tu jugak. Patutnya dia rajin solat, Allah dah bagi rezeki melimpah ruah dekat dia. Tapi tak adapun. Akhir sekali ukuran jahil dia kata kalau macam tu baik tak payah solat kalau gitu. Ramai golongan macam ni dalam masyarakat. Solat dianggap tidak bernilai. Bahkan lebih teruk anggap solat boleh menyekat rezeki. Semuanya kerana cetek ilmu agama. Ada satu kisah menarik untuk saya kongsikan. Dalam majlis agama selalu sebut kisah ni untuk teladan.

    Ada dua orang nelayan. Seorang penyembah berhala, seorang lagi muslim yang taat kepada Allah. Ketika menebar jala, nelayan yang menyembah berhala menyebut nama berhalanya, manakala nelayan muslim itu membaca bismillah. Bila tiba masa jala diangkat, nelayan penyembah berhala mendapat banyak ikan, sedangkan nelayan muslim tadi, tidak memperolehi seekorpun. Malaikat yang melihat keadaan itu bertanya kepada Allah ” Ya Allah, apakah yang telah berlaku? HambaMu yang menyekutukanMu, Kau berikan dia rezeki yang banyak, sedangkan hambamu yang menyebut namaMu, Kau tidak memberikan dia apa-apa.” Allah menjawab, “ Yang menyekutukanKu, tempatnya memang sudah pasti Neraka. Maka apalah sangat rezeki yang pasti akan hancur itu jika Kuberikan kepadanya? Tetapi hambaKu yang beriman itu, Aku hendak memberi ganjaran syurga, maka Aku suka mengujinya untuk melihat kebenaran imannya”.

    Saya pasti ramai yang pernah dengar cerita ini termasuk orang yang tidak solat tersebut. Peringatan dari Allah amat jelas. Sama ada kita nak faham atau tidak itu jer. Jangan bersangka baik dalam keadaan kita gembira kerana tidak solat. Tidak solat bermakna lain-lain ibadat kita – puasa, zakat, sedekah tidak bernilai di sisi Allah. Azab akhirat pasti tersedia jika kita dijemput dalam keadaan kita tidak pernah mengenal sejadah.

  • MUIS’ Hajj Confirmation Letter Never Reached Me, But MUIS’ Hajj Cancellation Letter Came To Me

    MUIS’ Hajj Confirmation Letter Never Reached Me, But MUIS’ Hajj Cancellation Letter Came To Me

    There are comments floating around saying that some Hajj applicants who did not receive their Hajj confirmation letter (stating that they get to go for Hajj during the year). All of a sudden, they received a letter saying that their Hajj application has been cancelled because they did not respond to the Hajj confirmation letter which they did not receive at all.

     

    MUIS, do you have any explanation for this?

  • (Reader Contribution) Singapore Asatizahs Earn Between $1200 (Before CPF) And $1500 Even With A Degree Qualification

    (Reader Contribution) Singapore Asatizahs Earn Between $1200 (Before CPF) And $1500 Even With A Degree Qualification

    (Reader contribution)

    Our reader sent us a screenshot of a confession saying that our Singaporean asatizahs are paid between $1200 (Before CPF) and $1500. These local asatizahs have degree qualifications from overseas universities, and yet they are paid this little. How can this be? How they want to survive in this expensive city sey?

    MUIS, PERGAS and other Muslim-related bodies need to review the salaries of these asatizahs and make sure that these asatizahs are paid more, at least on par with MOE’s standard. Or else, we will lose our local asatizahs to other overseas institutions, and local religious institutions will have to pay more to hire other overseas asatizahs to teach in our schools.
