  • Temasek Yang Dulu Bukan Seperti Singapura Sekarang

    Temasek Yang Dulu Bukan Seperti Singapura Sekarang

    Temasek yang dahulu bukan lah Singapurak yang sekarang…

    1. Populasi imigran Cina di Temasek berjumlah kurang 100k di Pulau Singapurak pada tahun 1700an. Kebanyakan menjadi peniaga dibawah koloni pemerintahan Syarikat Indian British dan buruh kasar kongsi ladang di Johor.

    2. Kemerosotan populasi Melayu semakin merosot akibat kemasukan besar besaran imigrasi etnik Cina semasa berlaku revolusi dan perang di Benua China pada tahun 1800-1900. Populasi etnik Cina di Singapurak meningkat naik kepada 900k.

    3. Peperangan dunia kedua membawa masuk lebih ramai etnik2 Cina dari seluruh benua Cina. Tempias juga kepada populasi di Tanah Melayu dengan kaum cina semakin menjadi jadi menguasai segala serba serbi sektor ekonomi.

    4. Salah satu sikap peniaga Cina yang mendatangkan ketidakpuasan hati rakyat asal Tanah Melayu dan Singapurak Melayu ini adalah kelicikan mereka menguasai dengan pantas jaringan perniagaan. Tiada ruang diberikan langsung kepada peniaga Melayu untuk berkembang. Ini kerana peniaga Melayu kekurangan modal dana untuk berkembang dimana jaringan peniaga Cina bekerjasama sesama sendiri memberi bantuan kewangan menyebabkan mereka pantas menguasai segenap ruang yang ada.

    5. Tahun 1900 banyak bank bank dikuasai etnik Cina ini membuka cawangan berkembang di Tanah Melayu dan Singapura. Dengan licik mereka mula berpakat dengan British untuk menguasai Tanah Lombong dan Perladangan. berjuta juta hektar tanah dimiliki oleh pelabur peniaga Cina tersebut.

    6. Itu bab sejarah asal usul perkembangan ekonomi kaum Cina. Sekarang kembali kepada topik asas Cina Kiasu di Singapurak.

    7. Kaum Cina ini golongan yang sangat licik sekali. Mereka yang akan timbulkan masalah dan mereka juga yang akan kedepan seolah olah sang penyelamat dengan memberikan penyelesaian kepada masalah. Sebab itulah orang Eropah menggelarkan bangsa Cina ini sebagai Virus Yahudi di Timur Dunia.

    8. Contoh paling kritikal adalah kemunculan Komunis Cina di Tanah Melayu dan Singapurak. Orang Cina yang mewujudkannya. Kemudian mereka juga menubuhkan parti radikal perkauman Cina seperti MCA, DAP dan PAP seolah melawan komunis tersebut. Walhal seumpama pepatung puppet sahaja. String atau talinya tetap dimainkan belakang tabir oleh elitis2 Cina tersebut.

    Orang Melayu buta berpolitik. Maka termakan dakyah tipu helah sebagaimana beratus ratus tahun sudah ditipu hidup hidup oleh sang penjajah2.

    9. Kesannya?… Singapurak secara halus dilepaskan (Expulsion) dari genggaman pemerintahan orang Melayu dari Tanah Melayu selama lamanya. Tertubuhlah Republik Singapurak purak.

    10. Pada awal penendangan Singapurak dari Persekutuan Tanah Melayu (Malaysia) pada 1965, populasi orang Melayu hanya 15%. Buddha Cina menguasai Singapurak dengan 75% populasi.

    11. Julat yang sama seperti Pulau Pinang dan bandar bandar ekonomi utama di Malaysia skang ni. Nampak tak plot trend disitu?…

    12. Sekarang ini, julat populasi masih kekal sama dengan Melayu penduduk asal Singapurak hanya kekal berjumlah 15%. Macam mana boleh terjadi perkara begini?… Sedangkan populasi jumlah kaum cina di Malaysia sudah pun meningkat naik mencecah 45%?…

    13. Bagaimana kerajaan cauvinis perkauman Cina yang menguasai Republik Singapurak menjalankan operasi mengawal populasi kaum Melayu dengan berjaya?…

    14. Mudah. Kerajaan Cina Buddha Cauvinis Singapurak selama ini menjalankan dasar licik :

    – Dasar Ketat Peneutralan Imigrasi untuk orang Melayu
    – Mengetatkan undang2 perkahwinan campur antara Muslim dan non Muslim di Singapurak

    15. Di Singapura orang bukan Islam dilarang keras oleh undang undang untuk berkahwin dengan orang Islam (MELAYU). Tetapi dibenarkan oleh liberal law untuk berkahwin tanpa bertukar agama. Sama seperti yang terjadi di Indonesia juga sekarang ini. Anak2 golongan kawen tanpa asas agama ini sekarang semakin ramai di sana. Secara harafiah institusi ke Melayuan sudah pun dirosakkan dengan sistematik.

    16. Peneutralan kerakyatan Melayu juga diperketatkan. Dasar berbeza digunapakai terhadap golongan Cina yang mahukan kerakyatan Singapurak dengan dilepaskan secara mudah didalam sistem imigresen. Kesannya populasi kerakyatan baru Singapurak dikalangan etnik Cina semakin meningkat berpuluh2 ribu setahun.

    17. Dasar perundangan antara Melayu dan Cina juga berbeza. Registry of Muslim Marriages (ROMM) dan Registry of Marriage (ROM) untuk non-Muslims. Poligami juga diharamkan terus di Singapurak.

    18. Dari sejumlah 6 juta warga Singapurak sekarang, hanya 15% saja Melayu Muslim. Itu berjumlah 900k semenjak 50+ tahun yang lepas. Selagi menjadi MINORITI, maka nasib orang Melayu kerap lah tertindas dan tidak terbela.

    19. Apakah mungkin nasib orang Melayu di Singapurak boleh berulang di Malaysia kelak?…

    20. Dan orang2 Cina di Malaysia tidak habis habis mencari pasal dengan hak keistimewaan orang orang Melayu yang termaktub didalam Kontrak Sosial dan Perlembagaan Malaysia.

    21. Apa yang menjadi polemik bukan hubungan antara kaum Melayu dan Cina yang menjadi masalah. Tetapi sikap tamak dan keinginan kaum Cina yang mahu menapau semua saki baki kek yang ada seolah tidak mencukupi amatlah menakutkan orang2 Melayu skang ni.

    22. Jika tidak dirawat masalah ini, tidak mustahil akan terjadi protest besar besaran anti Cina berulang lagi pada masa depan. Amuk itu ayat khusus alter terahsia orang Melayu.

    23. Jika Melayu mengamuk dah berubah fikiran dengan menyatakan tegas bahawa cukup lah sudah perkongsian selama ini dengan kaum Cina dan mahu kod perkongsian selama ini dihapuskan… Soalan lain yang tak mustahil akan timbul masa depan :

    DIMANA KAUM CINA MALAYSIA MAHU BERPINDAH?…

    24. Terlalu lama memberi ruang dan berkongsi lama kelamaan orang Melayu juga yang kena pijak. Hanya masa saja menentukan tahap kesabaran orang Melayu boleh bertahan berapa lama lagi.

    Kami sayangkan senyuman manismu,
    Tetapi Kami juga bencikan kelicikan kamu memijak menindas kepala kami…

    Fikirkanlah…

  • 5 Things About Wakaf Properties In Singapore

    5 Things About Wakaf Properties In Singapore

    New strata villas at Jalan Haji Alias are the latest Islamic-endowed properties to be launched by Warees Investments, the real estate development arm of the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis).

    The 30,450 sq ft land parcel off Sixth Avenue was bequeathed in 1905, and also houses the 110-year-old mosque, Masjid Al-Huda.

    Known as wakaf properties, developments such as this are built on land bequeathed or willed by a Muslim towards religious or charitable uses.

    They now include serviced apartments, cluster housing, commercial buildings, and a heritage centre.

    Here are five things you may not have known about wakaf in Singapore.

    1. Long history in Singapore

    This practice of religious endowment originated in the Middle East, where it is known as waqf. It was introduced to Singapore by Arab traders almost 200 years ago.

    The first wakaf documented in Singapore was created in 1820. The Omar Mosque off Havelock Road was endowed by Yemen-born businessman Syed Omar Ali Aljunied. The mosque is also the oldest one in Singapore.

    Many wakaf were given by Arab and Indian Muslim merchants, and a number of important wakaf were established in the 19th century. The number of new wakaf have dwindled in recent years.

    2. Wakaf properties

    There are more than 100 wakaf properties, according to Muis. Most are managed by Muis, while a number are managed by trustees. The properties were valued at $584 million as of December 2013.

    They include:

    Residential properties at Duku Road, Telok Indah

    Serviced apartments at Somerset Bencoolen

    Commercial properties at Dunlop Street, Kandahar Street, Pagoda Street, South Bridge Road, Telok Ayer Street, Temple Street, Changi Road, North Bridge Road, Upper Dickson Road and Joo Chiat Road.

    Wakaf mosques such as Masjid Haji Md Salleh, Masjid Khalid, Masjid Khadijah, Masjid Kassim and Masjid Bencoolen.

    The Chancery Residence, cluster housing at Chancery Lane

    Madrasah Al-Maarif Al-Islamiah at Lorong 39 Geylang

    A six-storey commercial building at 11 Beach Road which Muis bought in 2001

    3. Where does the money go?

    Last year, Muis gave $2.17 million to 60 beneficiaries. The largest beneficiaries are mosques, says Muis. Sixty-two per cent of wakaf funds are distributed to them, and 9 per cent to madrasahs.

    Other beneficiaries are the poor and needy, as well as charitable organisations. Some funds are disbursed to foreign countries according to the donors’ wills.

    4. Revitalisation of wakaf land

    Warees Investments – the real-estate development arm of Muis – was set up in 2001 to find ways to enhance the value of wakaf land.

    In recent years, it has embarked on a wakaf revitalisation scheme to rejuvenate properties in its care.

    Its first project under the scheme is the Red House Bakery in Katong, which philanthropist Sheriffa Zain Alsharoff Mohamed Alsagoff put in trust in 1957.

    The integrated heritage development project, called The Red House, will consist of 42 residential units and six shophouses. It will be completed in 2016.

    The Alias Villas are the second project to be unveiled. There will be another project in the city centre, Warees told The Straits Times in an interview in 2013.

    5. Overseas expansion

    Warees signed a memorandum of understanding with property management firm CPG Facilities Management in 2005 to explore joint-venture opportunities abroad. It is offering its property management and development services to Muslim countries in the region and the Middle East.

  • Islamic State Terrorists Ransack Library In Mosul Iraq

    Islamic State Terrorists Ransack Library In Mosul Iraq

    BAGHDAD — When Islamic State group militants invaded the Central Library of Mosul earlier this month, they were on a mission to destroy a familiar enemy: other people’s ideas.

    Residents say the extremists smashed the locks that had protected the biggest repository of learning in the northern Iraq town, and loaded around 2,000 books — including children’s stories, poetry, philosophy and tomes on sports, health, culture and science — into six pickup trucks. They left only Islamic texts.

    The rest?

    “These books promote infidelity and call for disobeying Allah. So they will be burned,” a bearded militant in traditional Afghani two-piece clothing told residents, according to one man living nearby who spoke to The Associated Press. The man, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he feared retaliation, said the Islamic State group official made his impromptu address as others stuffed books into empty flour bags.

    Since the Islamic State group seized a third of Iraq and neighbouring Syria, they have sought to purge society of everything that doesn’t conform to their violent interpretation of Islam. They already have destroyed many archaeological relics, deeming them pagan, and even Islamic sites considered idolatrous. Increasingly books are in the firing line.

    Mosul, the biggest city in the Islamic State group’s self-declared caliphate, boasts a relatively educated, diverse population that seeks to preserve its heritage sites and libraries. In the chaos that followed the US-led invasion of 2003 that toppled Saddam Hussein, residents near the Central Library hid some of its centuries-old manuscripts in their own homes to prevent their theft or destruction by looters.

    But this time, the Islamic State group has made the penalty for such actions death. Presumed destroyed are the Central Library’s collection of Iraqi newspapers dating to the early 20th century, maps and books from the Ottoman Empire and book collections contributed by around 100 of Mosul’s establishment families.

    Days after the Central Library’s ransacking, militants broke into University of Mosul’s library. They made a bonfire out of hundreds of books on science and culture, destroying them in front of students.

    A University of Mosul history professor, who spoke on condition he not be named because of his fear of the Islamic State group, said the extremists started wrecking the collections of other public libraries last month. He reported particularly heavy damage to the archives of a Sunni Muslim library, the library of the 265-year-old Latin Church and Monastery of the Dominican Fathers and the Mosul Museum Library with works dating back to 5000 BC.

    Citing reports by the locals who live near these libraries, the professor added that the militants used to come during the night and carry the materials in refrigerated trucks with Syria-registered license plates. The fate of these old materials is still unknown.

    The professor said Islamic State group militants appeared determined to “change the face of this city…by erasing its iconic buildings and history”.

    Since routing government forces and seizing Mosul last summer, the Islamic State group has destroyed dozens of historic sites, including the centuries-old Islamic mosque shrines of the prophets Seth, Jirjis and Jonah.

    An Iraqi lawmaker, Hakim al-Zamili, said the Islamic State group “considers culture, civilization and science as their fierce enemies”.

    Al-Zamili, who leads the parliament’s Security and Defense Committee, compared the Islamic State group to raiding medieval Mongols, who in 1258 ransacked Baghdad. Libraries’ ancient collections of works on history, medicine and astronomy were dumped into the Tigris River, purportedly turning the waters black from running ink.

    “The only difference is that the Mongols threw the books in the Tigris River, while now Daesh is burning them,” he said, using an Arabic acronym for the Islamic State group. “Different method, but same mentality”.

  • Islamic State Claims Second Japanese Hostage Beheaded

    Islamic State Claims Second Japanese Hostage Beheaded

    The Islamic State group claimed in a video that it has beheaded a second Japanese hostage, drawing international condemnation and outrage from a visibly upset Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who denounced it as a “heinous and despicable” act.

    The apparent killing of 47-year-old Kenji Goto — the second beheading of a Japanese hostage in a week — was announced in a video released online that included no mention of a Jordanian pilot also being held by IS, whom the jihadist group has threatened to kill.

    Goto, a respected freelance journalist, is seen in an orange outfit — similar to those worn by Guantanamo Bay inmates — kneeling next to a standing masked man who speaks with a British accent and blames the Japanese government for his “slaughter”.

    The man, dressed head-to-toe in black with his face covered, appears to be the same IS militant who has featured in the group’s previous execution videos.

    The executioner addresses Abe, saying the murder was the result of “reckless” decisions by the Japanese government and would mark the beginning of “the nightmare for Japan”.

    The brief video ends with the image of a body dressed in orange with a decapitated head on top of it.

    Abe vowed to “never forgive terrorists” after news of the video broke early Sunday morning in Japan.

    “I am extremely angry about these heinous and despicable terrorist acts. We will never forgive terrorists,” the premier, who appeared on the verge of tears, told reporters.

    “We will cooperate with the international community to make them atone for their crimes.”

    Goto’s distraught mother said she “can’t find the words” to describe her son’s death.

    “I can’t find the words to describe how I feel about my son’s very sad death,” a sobbing Junko Ishido told reporters.

    Goto’s brother Junichi Goto said he had been holding out hope, “But that’s not possible anymore,” he was quoted as saying by public broadcaster NHK.

    US President Barack Obama led international condemnation of the “heinous murder”.

    “Through his reporting, Mr Goto courageously sought to convey the plight of the Syrian people to the outside world,” Obama said.

    A spokesman for UN chief Ban Ki-moon also condemned the “barbaric murder”, and said the death “underscores the violence that so many have been subjected to in Iraq and Syria”.

    – Negotiations ‘deadlocked’ –

    Tokyo and Washington said they were working to confirm the video’s authenticity.

    “After an extensive review, we believe it’s highly probable” it is real, government spokesman Yoshihide Suga said in response to a reporter’s question.

    British Prime Minister David Cameron denounced the apparent killing as “a further reminder that ISIL (IS) is the embodiment of evil, with no regard for human life.”

    French President Francois Hollande also condemned the “brutal murder”.

    The apparent execution came after Japan said negotiations to win Goto’s release in a prisoner exchange had stalled.

    IS had vowed to kill Goto and Jordanian pilot Maaz al-Kassasbeh by sunset Thursday unless Amman handed over an Iraqi female jihadist.

    On Saturday morning Abe had renewed orders for officials to maintain close cooperation with Jordan in a bid to secure Goto’s release.

    “The government has been working with the utmost efforts on the issue — I deeply regret that this is the result,” Abe told reporters on Sunday.

    But “Japan will never yield to terrorism… (and) is firmly resolved to fulfil its responsibility in the international community’s fight against terrorism”.

    Last week IS claimed responsibility for the beheading of another Japanese man it had been holding, self-described contractor Haruna Yukawa, after the expiration of a 72-hour deadline during which the jihadists had asked Tokyo to pay a $200 million (175 million euro) ransom.

    Jordan has demanded evidence that its pilot, who crashed in Syria on December 24, was still alive before freeing would-be suicide bomber Sajida al-Rishawi, who is on death row

    The latest video made no mention of Kassasbeh’s fate.

    – ‘Proof of life’ –

    Jordan has offered to free Rishawi, who was convicted for her part in triple-hotel bombings in Amman in 2005 that killed 60 people, if IS releases the pilot.

    The government has been under heavy pressure at home and from Japan — a major aid donor — to save Kassasbeh as well as Goto.

    On Thursday, government spokesman Mohammad al-Momani said Rishawi was still in Jordan and would only be released if IS gave it “proof of life”.

    IS had set the Thursday sunset deadline for Rishawi to be released at the Turkish border in return for Goto but there was no news of a swap by nightfall.

    Friday morning Jordan’s military said it was still awaiting proof that Kassasbeh was safe.

    The pilot’s father Safi Kassasbeh begged Amman to save his son’s life “at any price”.

    “We believe in God and we will accept whatever he has in store for us,” he said.

    Goto’s wife Rinko also broke her silence this week to plead for her husband’s return.

    “My husband is a good and honest man who went to Syria to show the plight of those who suffer,” she said.

    “I beg the Jordanian and Japanese governments to understand that the fates of both men are in their hands.”

    IS has imposed a brutal version of Islamic law in territory it controls in Syria and Iraq and has executed since August two US journalists, an American aid worker and two British aid workers.

  • Anwar Ibrahim: Islam Does Not Need Self-Righteous And Self-Proclaimed Defenders

    Anwar Ibrahim: Islam Does Not Need Self-Righteous And Self-Proclaimed Defenders

    Islam does not need self-righteous and self-proclaimed defenders and has lasted over a millennia without them, Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim said today (Feb 1) in condemning violence committed in the name of the religion.

    Speaking at an International Conference on Islam, Anwar urged Muslims to plainly denounce the barbarous acts committed by militant groups such as Boko Haram, Islamic State, and the recent attack in Paris, instead of justifying and rationalising the murders.

    “Islam has survived over 1,000 years without self-righteous, self-proclaimed defenders. Certainly it can go 1,000 more years without them,” Anwar said in his keynote address.

    “Our response must also be unequivocal condemnation. It was cold-blooded murder, plain and simple. There is nothing to justify and rationalise. And it is the time for moralising and criticising the French foreign policy,” he added, referring to the recent attack on French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
