  • Pemerintah Harus Melarang Madonna Dari Membuat Persembahan Di Singapura

    Pemerintah Harus Melarang Madonna Dari Membuat Persembahan Di Singapura

    Tuan Yaacob Ibrahim,

    Saya baca dengan amat prihatin terhadap berita akhbar Straits Times pada tarikh 29 Nov 2015 mengenai rancangan bagi penyanyi terkemuka, Madonna untuk mengadakan konsert di Singapura Februari depan. Pernampilan Madonna di dalam konsert-konsert sebelumnya agak keterlaluan, dengan pakaian yang menonjol mata, dan aksi-aksi yang tidak sesuai hingga boleh dikatakan amat lucah. Dia pernah dilarang membuat konsert di Singapura pada tahun 90an, mengikut akhbar Straits Times kerana persembahannya bercanggah dengan ajaran Islam. Persembahan Madonna tidak banyak berubah walaupun telah dimakan masa, beliau masih terus manyajikan bahan bahan kontroversial di dalam persembahannya. Madonna juga adalah penyokong kuat LGBT.

    Dengan penyanyi Adam Lambert, yang sah mengaku dirinya sebagai seorang LGBT, dijemput sebagai tetamu khas di perayaan akhir tahun Singapura, tidakkah kehadiran Madonna akan menambah lagi anasir-anasir yang kurang sihat di kalangan belia-belia Islam di Singapura, yang masih mudah dipengaruhi minda mereka?

    Sebagai Menteri Bertanggungjawab bagi hal ehwal Islam, anda bertanggungjawab untuk melindungi kepentingan masysrakat Islam di Singapura.  Jadi saya amat berharap yang Madonna tidak akan diberi kelulusan untuk mebuat persembahan di sini, seperti mana yang dilakukan oleh pihak kerjaan pada tahun 90an. Masayrakat Singapura amnya, dan masyarakat Islam Singapura khususnya, harus dilindungi dari anasir barat yang kurang sihat, seperti kaum LGBT dan konsert-konsert yang menampilkan aksi lucah.

    Sebagai seorang Muslim yang bertanggungjawab, kita semua perlu memainkan peranan untuk membentuk belia yang bermoral dan kuat pegangan agama, bukan belia yang menyokong anasir anasir buruk.

    Wasalam,

    Syed

  • Organisers Of Miss/Mrs Asian International 2015 Singapore Must Review Their Objectives, Educate Malay/Muslim Public With Correct Moral Values

    Organisers Of Miss/Mrs Asian International 2015 Singapore Must Review Their Objectives, Educate Malay/Muslim Public With Correct Moral Values

    Nowadays many people want to be a pageant organiser but never really understand what is the purpose for and the right ethics. Especially when it comes to the Malay community. The organiser of this particular pageant called Ms/Mrs Asian International 2015, should take into consideration of their contestant not to expose her unsightly tattoo (see right-most contestant seated at front row).

    Of course for the newer generation, tattoo is a form of art but it can be an issue among the Malay’s community. What exactly does the organiser is trying to portray for muslim married women out of this Ms/Mrs Asian International 2015 when their contestants are all Malays and few are with hijabs.

    And also by the pageant title Ms/Mrs Asian International, what will other contestants and their supporters from other regions would possibly think?

    This is not to condemn any of the the contestants. It is to highlight the responsibility of the organiser of this pageant to reflect on their objectives and to build awareness as in to educate the right moral values for our Malay married women and our young Malay’s community.

  • P N Balji: Ignore Calvin Cheng, We Don’t Need A Donald Trump In Singapore

    P N Balji: Ignore Calvin Cheng, We Don’t Need A Donald Trump In Singapore

    P N Balji is a veteran Singaporean journalist who is the former chief editor of TODAY newspaper, and a media consultant. The views expressed are his own.

    It was the week that was worth shouting about. The Court of Appeal quashed the Home Minister’s decision to detain soccer bookie Dan Tan without trial – and here is the rub – because he was not a threat to public safety, peace and good order in Singapore. The very words that were used to keep him in prison.

    Thank you, Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon. You have shown that there are Singaporeans who dare to scrutinise and even reject a Minister’s detention order under the Criminal Law (Temporary Provisions) Act when it goes against the law.

    At about the same time came the Malaysian decision to kick Singapore out of the Malaysian League. Thanks, Malaysia. If we needed one good reason to make all of us unite under our very own soccer League, this is it.

    And our National Gallery, home to the largest repository of South-east Asian art, opened its doors adding another nail on popular talk that this country is a cultural desert.

    Thank you, Lee Boon Yang. It was you as minister of Communication, Information and the Arts who pushed against the views of some naysayers to make this another pride of Singapore.

    To spoil the party, out came the bulldozer without brakes Calvin Cheng. He went on his Facebook page advocating that children of terrorists should be annihilated to stop them from taking revenge.

    I have known the former NMP for many years now. The last time I met him was when we were on a panel to discuss this year’s General Election.

    The moderator goaded Cheng into wading into controversial territory, but he didn’t take the bait. Instead, he made his points well with no overt expression of rancour.

    It is hard to believe that it is the same Cheng who went on a “kill the children” tirade.

    My brief meetings with him revealed a bright, young man with strong views against those whose Singapore narrative differed from the official version.

    But each time I offered him a different way of looking at things, he would grudgingly nod his head.

    But when he goes into the lonely online world, with no one to check him, he becomes a very different personality.

    And that is what happened when he went on a verbal rampage with words like “traitorous” hurled at his opponents.

    To try and get a better measure of the man, I spoke to his former secondary school principal.

    Harphal Singh said: “Even in school Calvin was opinionated and contentious. I remember once incident very well. We were on a bus getting ready to go on an excursion. Calvin refused to give up his seat for one of the teachers, even when asked to. He felt there was no good reason for him to do so.

    “That is Calvin. He always wants to know why. ”

    Singh felt Cheng had clearly crossed the line with his comments on the children of terrorists.

    “I am sure there are others who have the same view but to articulate them so publicly and in uncivil language, especially when he is a member of an organisation whose duty it is to advocate proper conduct in the online space should not be condoned.”

    Cheng said he was deliberately provocative. But he is also the kind of personality who when provoked can become nasty.

    The best way to deal with such people is to ignore them. Deprive them of the oxygen of publicity, a phrase famously crafted by former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher at a time when the world was witnessing a series of bloody hijackings of planes.

    That is what modern-day parents do when their children use unsavoury language. They turn the other way. One parent said she has seen great results with her son.

    In many ways, Cheng is like this modern-day child who wants to see how far he can push the borders of decency.

    We don’t need a Donald Trump in our country. All of us will do well to pretend that this upstart called Calvin Cheng doesn’t exist.

  • Muslim Convert Says Wahhabism Is A Threat To Singapore

    Muslim Convert Says Wahhabism Is A Threat To Singapore

    Normally, when I get posts or comments that I deem disrespectful, I delete them. But in the case of the recent ruckus about Ismail Menk, I will leave them. And there is a reason for this. We need to build a solid case that Wahhabism is dangerous to Singapore’s social cohesion and religious harmony. And what better way than to have the very people who support Ismail Menk, Zakir Naik and all these Wahhabis show us exactly what they have learned.

    According to the students and lovers of ‘Mufti’ Menk, I have learned, on my Wall, that Shi’ah are kafir, that Sufis are deviant, Christians will burn in Hell, Jews are all Zionists, and there is a kuffar conspiracy by the Singapore government against Muslims. I have learnt from students and lovers of ‘Mufti’ Menk that Shaykh Nazhim (a.s.) is ‘Snake Nazim’, that Habib ‘Ali al-Jifri and Habib ‘Umar al-Hafizh are actually Shi’ah. And of course, there is the litany of takfir of many more actual Sunni scholars, both overseas and in Singapore.

    This proves exactly my point, that Wahhbaism is not just kufr, but it is dangerous to the fabric of Singapore. It is a threat to national security. It is no coincidence that Jamaah Islamiyya, Al Qaeda, ISIS, and every major ‘Muslim’ group is Wahhabi. And allowing this ideology to be propagated actually creates a pool of people who are sympathetic to extremist causes in our community.

  • Maliki Osman: Community Engagement Key To Combating ISIS Rhetoric

    Maliki Osman: Community Engagement Key To Combating ISIS Rhetoric

    A memorial event was held for the victims of the Paris terror attacks at Ba’alwie Mosque this evening (Nov 29), to “demonstrate solidarity not only among ourselves, but also with our friends from around the world”, said Senior Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Defence Maliki Osman.

    The event was attended by French Ambassador to Singapore Benjamin Dubertret and representatives of various religious organisations in Singapore.

    In a speech at the event, Dr Maliki said the stories of the 130 victims that emerged in the wake of the attack on Nov 13 “only remind us how vibrant each and every one of their lives was, and how each victim mattered to their family and friends”.

    Singapore, he said, is not immune to the threat of terrorism and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Measures are in place to address this threat, including legislation to take action against terrorists. “However, the centrepiece of our strategy is our community engagement programme, where we progressively build a strong network of trust among our different racial and religious communities. We cannot allow mistrust and enmity to be sowed between us, which would play to the objectives of the terrorists,” said Dr Maliki.

    Singaporeans must be vigilant in looking out for one another, while the Muslim community has also shown that “the answer to violence committed in the name of religion is often found within religion itself”.

    Malay/Muslim organisations have held forums to warn of the recruitment efforts of militant groups in Syria, while the Mufti of Singapore and other religious scholars have warned against ISIS’ rhetoric.

    “Their message is clear — terrorism has no place in Islam. There must be a clear distinction drawn between Islam as a religion of peace and Islam that has been politicised as a radical and inhumane excuse for terrorism,” said Dr Maliki.

    Addressing the leaders of the different faiths present yesterday, Dr Mailki said their roles were more important than ever, when people need a “strong moral compass”.

    “While we may not be immune to terrorism, we have the resolve to face and overcome the threat,” he said.
