A wushu group and a silat group performed together on stage at a cultural event in Eunos attended by Speaker of Parliament Halimah Yacob last night.
The wushu performance was by the Wudang Sheng Hong Health Preservation Centre from the nearby Lorong Koo Chye Sheng Hong Temple.
The silat performance was by the Si Rumpun Padi group from the Alkaff Kampung Melayu Mosque.
Such racial harmony would be unthinkable in some other countries and should be celebrated, Madam Halimah said at the event organised by the People’s Association grassroots groups in Aljunied GRC.
Assalaamu’alaikom, semua. Actually, I have a real-life personal story to tell.
My younger sister is married to a Singaporean Arab (not the rich one, mind you). His son, that is my nephew, was accepted into NTU about 10 years ago. He applied for Mendaki Scholarship but was rejected because he is considered NOT a Malay by Mendaki. My nephew is considered of Arab race based on his identity card as my brother-in-law is an Arab and needless to say, my sister is a Malay as I am. I did ask my MP at that time but he said that my nephew is not considered a Malay by “constitutional” definition.
So, he had to apply for Mendaki Study Loan which he did and got the loan with my brother-in-law and I as guarantors.
He graduated and started working and subsequently settled his loan with Mendaki several years ago.
With due respect to all potential presidential candidates who claim to have some “Malayness” in them, ask yourself honestly and with a clear conscience: Is it fair to claim yourself to be a Malay when others who are “half-a-Malay” are not considered as one?
Demi Allah, this is a true story. Assalaamu’alaikom warahmatullahi wabarokaatuh.

Hi Everyone, i have set this up to raise funds for my ex secondary school mate, Ms Norsiah, a strong and beautiful lady who was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in February 2017. Back then, it was Stage 3c and she had not decided if she would do Chemotherapy. One reason was because Chemotherapy would mean that she could no longer breastfeed her young daughter.
However, on 19 July 2017, after appointment with another hospital, her oncologist has confirmed that her Breast Cancer has progressed to Stage 4. Norsiah is a mummy to 3 boys and 1 girl (who is only a year plus). She started her first Chemotherapy on 20 July 2017 and she will need go through an estimated treatment period of 6 months with National Cancer Centre. Her Chemo would be every 3 weeks for the first 3 months and every week for the next 3 months.
Even though her medical treatment is eligible for financial assistance (Alhamdulillah), Norsiah and her family still requires support for other daily necessities such as milk powder for her daughter (who she can no longer breastfed due to chemo), diapers, transport to and fro hospital, groceries etc.
Norsiah has been taking orders (at times she even took on bulk orders) for cookies and cakes for the past few months despite not feeling 100% well. She did this to get extra income for her medical appointments and daily needs. However, with her ongoing treatment, she may not be able to take much (or may no longer be able to take orders) for now.
We do hope that kind hearted souls out there can help Norsiah and her family. Any donation amount (no matter how small) is welcome. Thank you so much for your help 😊
*sorry if this post is not detailed enough, was created in a rush as we just found out that chemo needs to start asap. will try to find out and post updates and more information soon
