I remembered talking about respect and tolerance for others some months back there are someone making a negative remark kononnya gambar2 Pork ni tak usah la post konon mereka geli.
Apa budu dan cencalok itu bukan ke bangkai makanan laut yg busuk mau pun ikan masin serta Perkasam dan belacan itu tak busuk ke? Dont u think other races also find that a complete turn off tetapi boleh pula kita mencekek dan sedap.
Susah jika manusia yg hidup mereka macam katak bawah tempurung ini. Ini makanan orang yg perlu kita respect dah tak perlu nak rasa jijik dan aib kan mereka. Shame on this moron that today is destroying the image of this country and causing alot of tension among other races with their itu haram dan ini haram! Dah tahu haram diam sudah la. Bangsa asing tak suruh pun kita mencekek bodoh! Why cant we exercise tolerance towards others instead of always finding fault at them bangsa Asing? This country is not just for the Muslim alone likewise the whole World. If other races and nation of the World can respect Islam and even the Pope can take his shoe off to enter our mosque in Juruselem nak saja saya kata di sini who the Hell are we to try and preached others and find fault as them sedang we our own race pun tak sempurna mana la!
I am getting so sick of reading all this irresponsible human being from the public to Politician that put their brain on their knee cap! Opened up yr eyes and watch the news where is Peace in this world today? Letaknya di hati dan tangan kita!

EDITOR’S NOTE
Di Singapura memang jarang ada masalah seperti ini kerana orang Singapura semua sudah ‘training’ makan di food court atau kedai kopi, di mana makanan halal dan bukan halal beroperasi di tempat yang sama dan tidak diasingkan.
Oleh itu, kalau cerita fasal isu toleransi, Singapura memang ternyata sudah memupuk sikap mulia ini sejak di bangku sekolah lagi 🙂
I have been keeping watch on the recent developments in the Muslim community pertaining to several important issues like the halal certification matters, MUIS’s flaccid performance on hijab issue, and zero counter measures on Pink Dot SG event this 28 June 2014 which coincidentally falls on the first day of Ramadhan. As a result of the indifference of MUIS towards taking action in the interests of the Muslim community, this has further pushed Muslims into losing faith in the secular fabric of the country.
As Muslims, we are fully aware eating halal and tayyib food is an important as a matter of worship of God where general principle what is lawful and what is good (Tayyib) should be followed. The food service sector is deemed to be the final link in the entire food industry supply chain and as this industry experiences a rapid growth, the duty of ensuring the food is halal has been shifted to restaurant operators and this can be seen through the introduction of halal standard. However, many restaurant operators did not comply with this halal standard and led to halal fraudulent practices. Reports on halal fraudulent decrease the confidence level amongst the Muslims. What’s more saddening is the tacit approach taken by MUIS and its entirely owned Halal consultancy company known as Warees Halal.
When it comes to hijab issue, attempts to resolve the tudung/hijab issue by the MUIS and the government remained unsatisfactory. Religious attires do not contribute to social disharmony and disunity and the wearing of headscarves definitely does not contribute to social disintegration. Since late last year, there has been ongoing debate on how the Government should review its stand of not allowing the tudung for certain uniformed public sector jobs, to fit the community’s aspirations. Tudung is an important religious obligation and one which symbolises a woman’s dignity and decency. There is a growing number of the grievances of fellow Muslims who face difficulties in fulfilling the religious obligation in covering the aurat due to the tudung restriction in some workplaces. The Muslims in Singapore appreciate the willingness by some government agencies for allowing Muslim women to fulfill this religious obligation. Such flexibility should be extended to all government agencies as it will reflect the government’s effort in promoting multiculturalism, and be made an example for the private sector. In alignment with the principles of individual rights and religious freedom, Muslim women who are wearing the tudung should be given equal opportunities and treatment in their workplace or in finding employment. We heard murmurs from MUIS and PERGAS, but what has been done so far? The hijab issue has been swept under the carpet again.
While Muslims celebrate the coming of blessed month Ramadhan, unfortunately many Muslims will also celebrate with the LGBT during their annual PinkDot party at Hong Lim Park. If Muslims continue to sit back in our state of docility, the PinkDot movement will keep on pushing their agenda. However, this does not mean that Muslims must ostracize the strayed homosexual Muslims. Instead, Muslims should come together and take the steps to make them understand Islam even more, and create the necessary avenue or platform for them to interact with true Muslims who love Allah and strive to make amends to improve themselves. Without such avenue/platform, Muslims are alienating these pro-LGBT supporters and activists from any of our outreach efforts. It will be a tumultuous journey but we pray that the families and friends involved are taking steps in the right direction to help their strayed loved ones. We need help from a group of professionals to help these strayed Muslims, but who do we turn to when every single action needs authorization and clearance from the MUIS and the Government?
After such a long drawn out jihad on these issues with insignificant outcome, it is high time to call for the set up of a new independent ulama body that closely oversees matters of Muslims in Singapore. Something that works like PERGAS but free from government influence and control. Indeed, the Muslim community, has fallen into unIslamic ways and needs clerical leadership in order to return to the fundamentals of the faith.
Sebuah laman Facebook Listen Listen Original pada 31 Mei lepas mempersoalkan beberapa keping gambar yang memaparkan beberapa anggota tentera yang dipercayai dari negara Malaysia menikmati pelbagai juadah makanan di dalam hutan.
Menurut Facebook berkenaan, anggota tentera berkenaan mungkin dari Malaysia berdasarkan pakaian seragam mereka dan dilihat menjalani latihan memakan benda ‘haram’ sebagai latihan ketika darurat.
Gambar itu dikatakan dipaparkan pada mulanya di laman web maahadsas.edu.my mengatakan bahawa para anggota itu diberi latihan kelangsungan hidup atau bagaimana cara untuk menangkap, memasak serta memakan.
Di status Facebook berkenaan turut dipaparkan persoalan apakah tujuan sebenar latihan sebegitu diadakan dan ia dirujuk pula kepada kemungkinan latihan seorang ibu yang terdesak masalah kewangan untuk menjadi pelacur.
Selepas puas memberikan soalan berbaur provokasi baru laman Facebook itu memohon pencerahan daripada Jawatankuasa Fatwa Kebangsaan dalam isu gambar anggota tentera memakan haiwan yang pelik-pelik yang didakwa haram itu.

EDITOR’S NOTE
Isu-isu sebegini juga ada tempiasnya di Singapura dan ianya juga menimbulkan tanda tanya tentang askar-askar kita yang beragama Islam: apakah mereka boleh memakan haiwan-haiwan yang boleh dikategorikan sebagai haram atau binatang liar ketika LATIHAN DARURAT?
Mungkin ada baiknya kita renungkan bersama. Antara agama dan juga negara ketika latihan darurat seperti ini.
Semoga kita akan mendapatkan penjelasan daripada pihak yang lebih ahli supaya masyarakat umum tidak membuat simpulan sendiri yang tidak berasas dan kurang bernas.
Selama ini, isu-isu sensitif seperti ini tidak dibicarakan secara terbuka. Inilah masanya.
I found a comment which is a follow up on Tan Kin Lian’s article Loss of Foreign Minister, which appears to give us an insight to what happened that caused Aljunied GRC to fall.
If what the writer claims is true (ie he has been working on the ground with the WP), this gives us an opportunity to see what were the goings on of WP’s plan, which was not seen by the public before.
Here is his comment.
I happened to be one of those who’re familiar with WP Hougang and Aljunied groundworks and feedback. The decision to contest Aljunied was a foregone conclusion, it was just a matter of who joined Sylvia there. The boundary map was so drawn that Hougang is an island within Aljunied that incorporates about a third of old dismantled Cheng San. Hence PAP made Aljunied a must-contest for WP and believed George Yeo popular enough to defend it. However LHL compromised laymen perception of his foreign affairs competency by having LKY and GCT handling almost all the heavyweight foreign affair issues. As for grassroot groundworks and popularity of WP in Aljunied, PAP complacently forgot that Hougang is in Aljunied containing a huge chunk of Cheng San. The gerrymandering backfired this time. The LTK effect wouldn’t have been of this magnitude in another GRC where he’s not so well known. In any case, it was LKY himself who challenged LTK that if he’s a good leader, stop hiding in SMC, come out and contest GRC. And it was also LKY himself who pre-declared that by-election shall be held to save any minister lost.
Very interesting insight. For those who can’t recall, Cheng San was contested by the WP, headed by Tang Liang Hong in 1997. Tang Liang Hong was smeared by PAP as a Chinese Chauvinist. His team was the highest scoring losing team.
I agree that George Yeo’s position was highly compromised as foreign minister. One of the most difficult issues we had and still have is our relations with Indonesia.
We harbour Indonesian criminals which Indonesia wants extradited, as well as billions of ill-gotten funds that rightfully belongs to them. An extradition treaty that was to be signed between Indonesia and ourselves have been shelved and that is causing a lot of strained ties. I have discussed that in detail here – Our Bad Foreign Relations with Indonesia
It looks like WP had weighed carefully the options they had and decided to go for a calculated gamble. It paid off.
Supporters of Jafri Basron can help make his dream come true by giving him a small donation and also moral support. Not an easy task to be an independent candidate. Rilek1Corner wishes Jafri all the best and may you succeed in GE2016.
Tempoh hari, saya telah mengadakan tinjauan kecil di sini untuk mengumpulkan data sedikit sebanyak akan sokongan masyarakat terhadap MUIS. Meskipun tinjauan ini tidak boleh digunakan sebagai kaki pengukur, rata2, kita dapat menggambarkan sentiment sebilangan rakyat terhadap MUIS.
Tinjauan ini hanya terhad kepada ahli2 SMIS, ahli yg aktif dan kepada pengguna internet sahaja. Dari itu, ia sangat berkurangan untuk dijadikan landasan sebagai mempamerkan sentiment seluruh Singapura.
Hasil tinjauannya adalah seperti berikut:
Total pengundi – 61
Tidak menyokong – 24
Memberi MUIS masa – 22
Sokongan tipis – 10
Menyokong total – 5
Kita dapat lihat bahawa sebanyak 39% sudah tidak memberi sokongannya terhadap MUIS. Dan hanya 8.2% sahaja yg masih memberi sokongan total kepada MUIS. Yg selebihnya, boleh dianggap sebagai menunggu dan mahu melihat prestasi MUIS. Prestasi MUIS akan menentukan sama ada MUIS akan terus relevant atau sebaliknya.
Jikalau MUIS tetap masih tidak menunjukkan peningkatan kepada prestasinya, saya takut tidak lama lagi, MUIS akan menjadi gajah putih dan tidak lagi mewakili masyarakat orang islam di Singapura.
