  • Ramadan Bazaar Malaysia – Ini Bukan Kucing, Ini Arnab

    Ramadan Bazaar Malaysia – Ini Bukan Kucing, Ini Arnab

    ERENGGANU: Baru-baru ini gambar seorang peniaga bazar Ramadan di Malaysia yang menjual hidangan kucing bakar menjadi viral.

    Bagaimanapun, mStar Online berjaya mendapatkan reaksi peniaga itu yang dikenali sebagai Mohd Ebbie Shafiran. Beliau meluahkan: “Jangan kecam saya.” sambil menambah bahawa beliau hanya menjual daging arnab yang halal untuk dimakan umat Islam.

    “Saya menjual arnab, barang halal, bukan barang haram. Suka hati korang,” kata Mohd Ebbie di laman Facebooknya yang ditukil mStar Online.

    Semalam, para netizen terkejut dengan dua gambar yang dikongsi di bazar kerana ada yang mendakwa makanan eksotik yang dijual itu menyerupai kucing dan anak anjing.

    Namun dek kuasa viral itu, perniagaan arnab panggang Mohd Ebbie semakin mendapat sambutan. Malah beliau turut meminta maaf kepada pelanggan kerana bekalan arnab panggangnya sudah habis ditempah.

    Katanya, pelanggan perlu menunggu pada Ahad (11 Jun) atau Isnin (12 Jun) untuk menikmati hidangan tersebut.

    “Terima kasih kepada yang sudi viralkan arnab panggang saya, cuma saya nak minta maaf. Kalau siapa-siapa pergi gerai saya untuk dua hari ni, memang tak ada bekalan, esok semua orang sudah tempah,” katanya yang ditukil mStar Online.

  • Ridjal Noor: Why Malay/Muslim Community Largely Apathetic Over Ramadan Bazaar Issue?

    Ridjal Noor: Why Malay/Muslim Community Largely Apathetic Over Ramadan Bazaar Issue?

    The first question:
    Why are some quarters in the community so busy defending the issue of the bazaar Ramadan? Every day campaigning and raising questions, and brainstorming for solutions.

    Because they are trying to preserve the quality and feel and integrity of this yearly bazaar that’s special and unique to the community.

    The second question:
    But if the community feels so strongly against what’s happening today, then just vote with your spending dollar lah, right? Don’t spend there and the organisers will learn their lesson and learn to respect the laws of the land, correct? People power and all that, right?

    Unfortunately, no. This is the hardest of change to bring about.

    This is why only some quarters are campaigning. The rest are still happily, blissfully ignorantly heading down and voting with their dollars that they don’t care. The herds and their mentality. Sometimes it seems, you just can’t save the community from itself.

    They accept the erosion of values over time without batting an eyelid. They only stop to make viral make viral certain issues. Other than that they steamroll over every bump in the road and move on undeterred, uncaring for the issues dear at heart to the community at large.

    So I agree with Sadali Ami. The community gets the leaders it deserves. And you can’t save the community from itself.

  • Bazaar Ramadan Controversy Unnecessary, More Transparency Needed From PAP MP

    Bazaar Ramadan Controversy Unnecessary, More Transparency Needed From PAP MP

    Yang Berhormat Ahli Parliament Geylang Serai

    Call the Ramadan Bazaar at Geylang Serai by any name, it doesn’t matter. Few will also object if you want to open it to those who want to sell non-halal food.

    But do be upfront. Be transparent and please inform the public so as to avoid confusion and creating a controversy. An unnecessary one too, that should be best avoided especially in the month of Ramadan.

    Most of us including myself have always thought that the Bazaar which coincides with Ramadan only sell halal food; so try to appreciate how upsetting it could be when we discover otherwise.

    To matter matters worse, you seem to be taking the high moral ground and trying to pin the blame on us insinuating that we are against inclusiveness.

    We can assure you that we are all for inclusiveness and multiracialism and have no objection to change the nature of the bazaar to include sale of non-halal food.

    But don’t do it surreptitiously.

    My regrets for speaking so plainly in the month of Ramadan.

    Abdul Rahman Mohamed: Kita Wajib Menentang Semua Jenis Keganasan

    Semua Kita Wajib Bangkit Menentang Keganasan!
    Keganasan Tiada Agama jauh sekali hendak dikaitkan dengan Agama Islam.

    Tapi…………

    Bukan hanya keganasan yg berlaku di negara2 Barat sahaja yg kita perlu Terasa dan Berperasaan terhadap mangsa keganasan.

    Kenapa setiap kali apabila keganasan berlaku ke atas negara2 Barat, kita lihat akhbar2 tempatan kita memberi liputan yg luas dan para pemimpin masyarakat tidak ketinggalan tokoh2 agama bangkit bagaikan wira menyuarakan tantangan terhadap keganasan yg berlaku.

    Saban hari ramai juga orang2 Islam yg menjadi mangsa keganasan, namun mana suara2 lantang para pemimpin kita dan liputan besar2an media kita?

    Adakah harga darah orang Barat lebih mahal harganya berbanding yg lain?

    Sikap double standard ( Hypocrite) sedemikian telah menyebab masyarakat umum menjadi muak dan benci utk berbicara tentang pengganasan yg selalu kelihatan Berat Sebelah.

    Sekali lagi saya tegaskan, Kita semua Wajib Bangkit Menentang Keganasan dan Membasminya dari semua peringkat.

    Khan Osman Sulaiman: Why Do People Claim Themselves Malay Only When There’s Something To Gain From It?

    The Malays take all the negative stereotyping people throw at them.

    The Indian Muslims, Arabs, Javanese, Boyanese, Ceylonese will quickly distance themselves when asked whether are they Malays.

    But when there are privileges on hand, everyone wants to be a Malay. Case in hand is the presidential election where it is reserved for Malay candidates.

    Now all of the above mentioned ethnic groups will consider themselves as Malays or ‘representing’ the Malays if qualified to contest the election. Other than that, these people will proudly proclaim ‘Im not a Malay.’

    Nice right?
