  • Muslimah Failed Job Interview Due to Hijab

    1656420_841504222532752_1874394816_n 1622675_841504219199419_1710576101_n

    Yesterday, i received this in my inbox. It is one of the many i received for these kind of situations.

    “Salaam Osman…
    I have something to share which angers me.

    My daughter just ‘failed immediately’ in an interview for not willing to remove her Hijab even though she has the necessary requirements.
    Allaahul musta’aan.”

    I enquired further and gotten to know that the interview was for a therapist course. He then continued;

    “Theres this course for therapist, admin staff and etc at CGH. The interviewer was very blunt. The first question was ‘are u willing to remove yr hijab’ and when she reply no, they replied, ‘If u are not, u failed immediately’ – this is the exact reply.

    She is a type not arguing which people….she just left the place. A course which guarantee a place in any hospital upon passing and completing.

    What appalled me wes that, on the 18th march she attended the seminar they held…no problem. They have her record. Then applied, they called her for interview today…but today lain pulak jadinya.”

    —————————–

    Im always very much affected reading such messages. Firstly, discrimination has no place in any society. It creates an ill will between people and it has a negative effect on the victim.

    They feel isolated. Feels humiliated, angry. Develop low self esteem. Suffer humiliation. It can also contributes to depression, poor quality of life etc.

    On top of that, it denies someone their human rights to be able to participate fully in our society.

    Not only are they denying the hijab wearing women employment, but it goes to the extend of denying them the chance to learn.

    As a society, we should be working towards creating a culture that respects n values each other’s differences and recognizes that diversity is a great asset to our community.

    This PAP gov has shown time and again their outright blatant disregards for the minorities. To be denied equal opportunities in our own country shows a lack of respect by the ruling gov towards its own people.

    I urged my community to turn their backs on the PAP. It is high time that we elect other ppl who can respect and accord us with equality.

  • Hospital Job Applicant Got Turned Down Due to Hijab

    Today, I sent an email to the CEO of CGH enquiring on the discriminatory hiring practices employed by them. Hope to get a satisfactory reply.

    ——————————————————————

    Dear Ms Lilian Chew

    RE: DISCRIMINATORY HIRING PRACTICES

    I would like to bring your attention to a recruitment exercise that was conducted by Changi General Hospital on Thursday, 27 March 2014 at Tampines North Community Centre.

    Prior to the recruitment exercise, a seminar was conducted on Tuesday, 18 March 2014 at Northwest CDC Woodlands Civic Centre, by Health Management International and Institute of Health Science in collaboration with Changi General Hospital (CGH), Singapore General Hospital (SGH) and National University Hospital (NUH).

    I was informed by a friend that she had signed up for a Therapy Assistant course during the seminar and subsequently was called up to attend an interview on 27 March 2014.

    What happened next was no doubt an appalling experience no person should be made to go through. The first and only question the interviewer asked her was “Are you willing to remove your hijab?” When she replied no, the interviewer said, “Then there’s no point we continue this interview. You fail immediately.” Not being a confrontational person, she proceeded to leave the interview room.

    Therefore I would like to seek clarifications from you on a few matters;
    1) What is the hospital’s policy regarding recruitment of candidates wearing the hijab?

    2) Was the interviewer acting on his personal whims and fancies or is it the hospital’s policy to exclude and deny enrolment/recruitment to students/candidates wearing the hijab?

    3) Why candidates were not informed during the seminar that anyone wearing hijab is not welcomed to participate? So that potential candidates need not waste time, effort and money attending the interview just to get discriminated on.

    4) Why is the hospital discriminating against people who put on the hijab, the opportunity to learn and to seek knowledge?

    As an established organization that seeks to be a world class healthcare service provider, surely this kind of discrimination should not have existed if any.

    Singapore prides itself on a meritocratic system as highlighted by our prime minister on numerous occasions. To make an unjust or prejudicial distinction in the treatment of people is unacceptable.

    As a public hospital funded by tax-payers, it is in the interest of the public that the hospital make known of its hiring practices.

    I look forward to your reply on the above enquires.

    Thank you.

    Regards,
    Osman Sulaiman

  • Wanita Berniqab Harus Tunjuk Adab, Akhlak Baik

    hijabniqabaurat

    Mana2 wanita sama ada niqabi, tudung labuh, tudung pendek, free hair, yg bersilat begini tetap tiada menghalalkan perbuatan berlatih/pertunjukan bersama lelaki walau bersarung tangan. Niat sudah tidak halalkan cara. Wanita patutnya sesama wanita sahaja, dilakukan di tempat tertutup. Lelaki sesama lelaki. Antara mereka bila bersama ada nafsu, ada syaitan mencucuk. Jika halal saja dengan lapik, maka halal la wanita diraba setelah berpakaian, halal la zina apabila kondom diguna, halal la sentuh menyentuh asal ada lapik saja.

    Jika mereka adik beradik, maka tidak pula layak aksi ditunjukkan di khalayak ramai kerana wanita perlu ditutup dari sebarang pintu fitnah yang banyak kini. Dengan lenggok badan, dengan menjadi tontonan, ia bukan ciri niqabi apatah lagi muslimah sejati. Dan tertanya juga, adik beradik buat show, pakai sarung tangan? Untuk apa ya? Tak apa la, hal mereka.

    Wanita berniqab di sisi islam adalah contoh terbaik bagi menunjukkan cara berpakaian mengikut sunnah dan harus belajar adab dan akhlak isteri2 Nabi. Dan jika berniqab tapi tidak mengenakan sarung kaki dan menampakkan kaki, ia fitnah kepada islam.

  • KENYATAAN World Hijab Day Singapore

    1523787_349468618526485_980040486_o1523343_349468721859808_1839669365_o
    Assalamu’alaikum.

    Bismillahirahmannirrahim.

    Salams everyone. I would like to finally introduce myself. I am Seri Fatmawati Hambali, Ambassador of World Hijab Day Singapore.

    It is with regret and sadness that we announce World Hijab Day Singapore (WHDS) will cease its operations today.
    WHDS had tried to showcase the beauty of the hijab. We were confident that every Singaporean would celebrate the diversity that marks our society.

    We wanted to bring the joy and celebration that the occasion deserves.

    But it is not to be.

    While we tried to relay the positive messages of the WHD, the authorities responded with suspicion and threats.
    We were pressured by the authorities when we attempted to seek a friendly ‘public view’ and conduct ‘ground research’ in early December for our WHDS promo video. Similarly, our attempts to organise a meeting with our wonderful supporters to update them and to discuss our plans for the short film resulted in intense scrutiny.

    Some of our members received threats that being involved may jeopardise their livelihood and affect their families. Facing pressure and threats, they decided to leave the committee. It left only a handful of us to continue the project.

    WHDS was meant to be a celebration. But the authorities’ response made it impossible for the celebration to take place.

    We make du’a that World Hijab Day on 1st February will be a success. May Allah swt grant WHD ease and to be freed from every fitnah in this trying times. We have total faith in WHD’s mission in creating Better Awareness, Greater Understanding and a Peaceful World.

    Even as WHDS has to cease our operations, the WHD message should still continue. Everyone has a role to play. Even as simple as spreading awareness to our Non-Muslim friends.

    Let us make these efforts.

    Let us show that even in diversity, we are UNITED as Singaporeans. Do dakwah on those who do not understand. Help to dispel the misconception or doubts that they may have on our religion with peace and patience.

    We apologise for all our shortcomings and I hope each and everyone of you had enjoyed this day in your own intimate gatherings with your loved ones. In Shaa Allah, all our efforts is for no other purpose than to attain His blessing.

    Our committee will be disbanded with immediate effect.

    No further postings will be made on this page.

    Jazakallahu Khairan.

  • Berjoget Bersenam tidak salah pada pandangan Islam?

    Event_30b

    Tertarik dengan dialog yg Saya dengar ketika di dalam MRT tadi. Perbualan ini adalah antara dua orang wanita, seorang antaranya adalah muslimah yg bertudung.

    Muslimah A: Semalam seronok parti kat rumah si dektu. All female party, no guys allowed, and sorry lah – takde alcoholic drink pun. Aku ajak kau, tapi banyak lah excuse kau.

    Muslimah B (bertudung): Aku ada gym session. Dah plan siang2 event tuh.

    Muslimah A: gym? Itu gym kau all female gym ke? Apa korang buat?

    Muslimah B: Ah ah, all female gym lah – no guys allowed….Semalam ada Zumba Sh’bam. Berpeluh aku dibuatnya…tapi syiok lah

    Muslimah A: Semalam all-female parti aku pun Ada session berdansa juga. Latin dance pun ada….alaaa macam zumba juga. And chances are si dektu tuh nak organize lagi every week….macam pergi gym juga lah aku nampak2nya…tak salah kalau kau join aku one of these days…don’t worry, it is all female event. Kita joget happy2…kita joget to feel good, kau boleh joget macam Zumba sh’bam lah, atas niat exercise….i’m sure tak salah kan dalam agama kalau niat kau masih betul berexercise….common, boleh lah join aku next week? Ok?

    Begitu lah perbualan mereka hingga mereka berdua keluar Dari MRT.

    Apabila di fikirkan balik kuliah ahad yg lalu, teringat pula ayat yg di sebut kan oleh mufti ketika itu. Bahawa syaitan telah berjanji kepada Allah bahawa dia Akan Cuba menyesatkan manusia selagi dia hidup di dunia….sedikit Demi sedikit…perlahan-lahan…

    Moga boleh kita mengambil pengajaran dari peristiwa ini.

    Wallahu a’lam
