  • Susu Ibu Dianggap “Tidak Halal”

    Susu Ibu Dianggap “Tidak Halal”

    Seorang ibu mengadu kakitangan sebuah hotel di Melaka menolak permintaannya membekukan susu badannya di peti sejuk dengan alasan ia ‘tidak halal’. Wanita bernama Chua yang menceritakan kejadian itu di laman Facebook bagi kumpulan ibu menyusu pada 18 Ogos lalu berkata, kakitangan lelaki di kaunter resepsi hotel itu menolak permintaannya walaupun selepas beliau menjelaskan susu ibu itu dihasilkan manusia.

    PELANGGAN ‘HALAL’ DAN ‘TIDAK HALAL’?

    “Saya tidak berputus asa dan cuba mendapatkan bantuan kakitangan lain untuk membekukan susu, tetapi hasilnya masih sama. Alasannya susu ibu tidak halal. Ketika itu, saya ada memberi penjelasan dan menerapkan pengetahuan mengenai susu ibu, tetapi tidak berjaya memujuk mereka. Susu ibu dihasilkan manusia, bukannya haiwan. Takkanlah pelanggan mereka juga perlu dibahagikan kepada halal dan tidak halal?” soalnya menerusi catatan itu sambil menambah beliau terpaksa membuang susu badannya dalam kejadian yang berlaku kira-kira pukul 9.00 malam itu. Cik Chua berkata, keadaan sebaliknya berlaku pada keesokan harinya apabila beliau menghantar susu badannya ke bilik VIP yang beroperasi pada waktu siang, di mana kakitangan wanita membantu beliau membekukannya.

    HOTEL MINTA MAAF

    Selang beberapa hari, beliau melalui satu lagi catatan di Facebook memaklumkan hotel itu sudah meminta maaf kepadanya, selepas rakannya membuat aduan kepada pihak pengurusan. Hotel itu katanya, turut memaklumkan mereka ada menawarkan perkhidmatan membekukan susu ibu kepada pelanggan, termasuk pada waktu malam tanpa membezakan ia halal atau tidak. Cik Chua berkata, hotel itu menjelaskan petugas lelaki di kaunter resepsi menolak permintaannya kerana tiada pengetahuan mengenai susu ibu dan tidak biasa dengan cara menguruskannya.

    “Mengimbau keadian itu, sebenarnya ia hanya kesilapan yang tidak disengajakan oleh segelintir kakitangan (lelaki) kerana mereka tiada pengetahuan mengenai susu ibu.” Beliau berharap orang ramai tidak akan menyalahkan hotel itu dan meminta pihak pengurusan tidak mengambil tindakan terhadap kakitangan terbabit, sebaliknya memberi pengetahuan mengenai susu ibu kepada mereka. Hotel itu tambahnya lagi, tidak memberi sebarang pampasan kepadanya dan beliau tidak mahu memperbesarkan kesilapan orang lain.

  • Hijabi Struggles

    Hijabi Struggles

    There are some hijabi struggles that are unavoidable and like to sporadically repeat themselves. Have you experienced any of it?

    1. Lost Pins.
    We don’t know where they go. We keep replacing them. But we always seem to run out.

    2. Being stabbed in the head by a pin.
    This happens to everyone at some point. There are those days when you’re in a time crunch and you need to get done. Or those days when your hand slips and the pin jabs you in the head.

    3. Storing your pins.
    Storing pins is always a mission.  It doesn’t remain organised forever. You can never find the pin we want to wear or your pins never remain in one place.

    4. When your neck is showing and you have run out of scarf or your hair has slipped out to play peekaboo from under your scarf.

    5. You have an event to attend, and the only scarf that matches is very scratchy… and you wear it anyway.

    6..Having to undo ur hijab style to make wudhu. Or worse, a wet hijab after wudhu

    7. Creased scarves and wishing you never had to iron another scarf again. There are few things we hate more than having to iron the creases out of our ever growing collection of hijabs.

    8. #thatawkwardmomentwhen you pass a mirror & realize your hijab is totally messed up.

    9. Storing crumbs in your hijab. Food and Hijab… enough said.

    10. The Inescapable Hijab Itch.
    When you head itches randomly under the scarf. We’ve all had it. It happensunannounced. There’s no way of avoiding it. And worse, you can’t get your fingers under your intricate scarf style to soothe the itch. Washing your hair regularly minimises this but it’s bound to happen at some point.

    11. Misplaced hijab cap or hijab bonnet.
    It happens at the worst of times. Usually when you’re in a time crunch.

  • 5 Reasons Why You Should Eat With Your Hands

    5 Reasons Why You Should Eat With Your Hands

    1) Helps prevent type 2 diabetes
    A new study published in the journal Clinical Nutrition found that people with type 2 diabetes were more likely to be fast eaters that used cutlery to eat, as compared to people without the condition. Eating with forks and spoons correlates with faster eating, which has been linked to blood-sugar imbalances in the body — contributing to the development of type 2 diabetes. If you suspect that you may be eating too quickly, ditch utensils and focus on your eating style — consciously slow it down and see how you feel. You may be surprised by how soon you get full with less food if you eat with your hands.

     

    2) Improved digestion
    We have some bacteria, known as normal flora, found on the palm and fingers of the hand. It is not harmful to humans, it in fact protects us from many damaging microbes in the environment. When you eat with your hands, the flora in the fingers is swallowed. It is beneficial for health and for various body parts such as the mouth, throat, and intestine, and it promotes healthy digestion in the gut. Handling food with your fingers releases digestive juices and enzymes. Also, millions of nerve endings in your fingers relay the message that you’re about to eat, including the temperature of the food, level of spiciness and texture of food, thereby prepping the stomach for digestion.

     

    3) Useful tool in preventing binge eating
    Binge eating is becoming a concern with more adults, but it can also occur in childhood. Binge eating seems to be related to the vicious cycle of restrictive dieting followed by a loss of control around food, and it contributes to further health problems. A study published in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology showed that families who ate by hand were more in touch with eating concepts, such as eating only when hungry and paying attention to fullness cues. The study found that parents were able to help their 8 to 12-year-old overweight children cut down on binge eating episodes by training them to eat by hand.

     

    4) It can help decrease overeating at restaurants
    People worldwide spend about 40% of their food budget on dining out. These meals tend to be higher in overall calories, raising concern that this practice is increasing our national waistline. While many health professionals advise people to try and cook more at home, one study showed that watchful eating at restaurants might help. The researchers found that middle-aged women who ate out and used their hands to pick on appetizers and dry food entrées at least three times a week were heedful while eating. This approach helped them reduce acid influx issues while still enjoying restaurant meals minus the feeling of heaviness.

     

    5) Sure-fire way to stay lean.
    Researchers studied over 1,600 middle-aged women in New Zealand found that those women who ate in response to hunger were more likely to be at a healthy weight than women who paid no mind to hunger cues when they ate. Many people multi-task while eating lunch, but two studies published in the journal Appetite found that when people ate by hand while simultaneously reading a newspaper or watching TV, they were less hungry at snack-time, and opted for a smaller snack. Researchers concluded that eating by hand promotes a sense of fullness and satiety as compared to eating with utensils.

  • Yaacob Ibrahim: Halimah Is Consistent And Never Shy To Speak Her Mind, I’ve Known Her For A Long Time

    Yaacob Ibrahim: Halimah Is Consistent And Never Shy To Speak Her Mind, I’ve Known Her For A Long Time

    I’ve known Halimah for a long time. We first met in 1976 when I was an undergrad at the University of Singapore and she was in her third year of law school. We were at the University of Singapore Muslim Society orientation camp, where she was a senior shepherding the starry-eyed freshmen into the intricacies of Islam and its meaning in our lives. I was one of the freshmen.

    Though we went our separate ways after graduation (occasionally meeting at weddings of mutual friends and at community events), I would often hear stories about her commitment to the struggles of low-income families and vulnerable workers.

    If there’s one word to describe the Halimah I’ve known all these years, it is Consistency. Over the years, she has consistently shown her devotion to helping those in need, especially vulnerable women. She is never shy to speak her mind if it means getting more attention for them. Even when she became a parliamentarian in 2001 and later as Speaker of Parliament, Halimah never departed from her causes. I believe this consistency, as well as her dedication to helping our Muslim community navigate and integrate fully into the Singaporean family, will remain a lasting legacy.

    I would like to thank Halimah for all her contributions and wish her the very best in her future endeavours. As she embarks on her new journey, I hope that in the years to come, in whatever capacity she finds herself in, she is able to convince the wider community to look beyond her race, to assess her beyond her gender, and to judge her beyond her religion, into becoming fully one with Singapore and Singaporeans. #yaacobibrahim
