    2 Chinese Ladies Mixing Cutlery Between Halal And Non Halal Food At Kou Fu

    2 Chinese ladies were eating at Kou Fu opposite Sheng Siong at Tanglin Halt last 3 days.

    One was first eating the Indian stall roti prata with her fork and spoon from the Indian Muslim Stall. Her fren was eating bowls of PORK SOUP with bowl of rice, vegetables

    Suddenly when I turned to them, BOTH were happily fidgeting on the PORK MEAT trying to tear the PORK MEAT USING THE INDIAN MUSLIM FORK AND SPOON.

    SO i quickly told them off …

    ME: EXCUSE ME, ARE U EATING PORK MEAT SOUP?

    1ST LADY : Nodded her head and still continue tearing the pork meat from the bowl

    ME: Sorry do you know that the fork n spoon IS MEANT FOR HALAL STALL?O

    2nd lady: OH IS IT? (Pretending to be ignorant)

    ME: HOW DO U FEEL IF LETS SAY U ARE A BUDDHIST WHO DOESNT EAT BLOODY STUFF/FOOD AND U EAT THEM NOT FEELING GUILTY OF YOUR DOINGS???”

    1st lady: PUT DOWN HER FORK N SPOON TOOK TISSUE AND WIPED HER MOUTH WHILE THE OTHER PIGLET PRETEND NOTHING HAPPEN AND CONTINUE EATING MACAM BABI BODOH PUNYA ORANG !!!

    ME: YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU BOTH BRING SHAME TO OTHER CHINESE PEOPLE WHO DOES NOT RESPECT OTHER RELIGION!!! AND I WALKED OFF AND INSTRUSTED THE INDIAN MUSLIM OWNER TO WASH THE STAINED FORK N SPOON SEPERATELY

    SO, ALL OF U MY MUSLIM FBIANS, WHAT DO YOU THINK AFTER READING THIS STORY?

  • Susu Ibu Dianggap “Tidak Halal”

    Susu Ibu Dianggap “Tidak Halal”

    Seorang ibu mengadu kakitangan sebuah hotel di Melaka menolak permintaannya membekukan susu badannya di peti sejuk dengan alasan ia ‘tidak halal’. Wanita bernama Chua yang menceritakan kejadian itu di laman Facebook bagi kumpulan ibu menyusu pada 18 Ogos lalu berkata, kakitangan lelaki di kaunter resepsi hotel itu menolak permintaannya walaupun selepas beliau menjelaskan susu ibu itu dihasilkan manusia.

    PELANGGAN ‘HALAL’ DAN ‘TIDAK HALAL’?

    “Saya tidak berputus asa dan cuba mendapatkan bantuan kakitangan lain untuk membekukan susu, tetapi hasilnya masih sama. Alasannya susu ibu tidak halal. Ketika itu, saya ada memberi penjelasan dan menerapkan pengetahuan mengenai susu ibu, tetapi tidak berjaya memujuk mereka. Susu ibu dihasilkan manusia, bukannya haiwan. Takkanlah pelanggan mereka juga perlu dibahagikan kepada halal dan tidak halal?” soalnya menerusi catatan itu sambil menambah beliau terpaksa membuang susu badannya dalam kejadian yang berlaku kira-kira pukul 9.00 malam itu. Cik Chua berkata, keadaan sebaliknya berlaku pada keesokan harinya apabila beliau menghantar susu badannya ke bilik VIP yang beroperasi pada waktu siang, di mana kakitangan wanita membantu beliau membekukannya.

    HOTEL MINTA MAAF

    Selang beberapa hari, beliau melalui satu lagi catatan di Facebook memaklumkan hotel itu sudah meminta maaf kepadanya, selepas rakannya membuat aduan kepada pihak pengurusan. Hotel itu katanya, turut memaklumkan mereka ada menawarkan perkhidmatan membekukan susu ibu kepada pelanggan, termasuk pada waktu malam tanpa membezakan ia halal atau tidak. Cik Chua berkata, hotel itu menjelaskan petugas lelaki di kaunter resepsi menolak permintaannya kerana tiada pengetahuan mengenai susu ibu dan tidak biasa dengan cara menguruskannya.

    “Mengimbau keadian itu, sebenarnya ia hanya kesilapan yang tidak disengajakan oleh segelintir kakitangan (lelaki) kerana mereka tiada pengetahuan mengenai susu ibu.” Beliau berharap orang ramai tidak akan menyalahkan hotel itu dan meminta pihak pengurusan tidak mengambil tindakan terhadap kakitangan terbabit, sebaliknya memberi pengetahuan mengenai susu ibu kepada mereka. Hotel itu tambahnya lagi, tidak memberi sebarang pampasan kepadanya dan beliau tidak mahu memperbesarkan kesilapan orang lain.

  • If Not Ready To Be Inclusive, Please Don’t Use Iftar In Description Of A Non-Halal Potluck

    If Not Ready To Be Inclusive, Please Don’t Use Iftar In Description Of A Non-Halal Potluck

    Someone shared a flyer about “Potluck Iftar Dinner @ Block 101” organised by Choa Chu Kang Zone 3 Committee. To what seem to be a joke or surprise to some, the flyer added a note saying all residents are welcomed. Those who are interested in attending the dinner are expecting to bring at least one signature dish (halal/non-halal per family). The person who shared then suggested that any non-muslim organiser should avoid using Islamic terms like Iftar or Ramadan, ie. Bazar Ramadan, if they are not ready to be inclusive.

    Don’t believe? See it for yourself below.

     

    May I suggest any non-muslim organiser to avoid using Islamic terms like Iftar or Ramadan, ie. Bazar Ramadan, if you are not ready to be inclusive. This is to avoid unnecessary confusion. I would also like to suggest our muslim MPs to remind your colleagues to be more sensitive when using these terms. And RC members, please get the approval from your Muslim advisors or MPs before you disseminate such invitations. Thank you for your understanding.

  • Mohd Khair: Don’t Forget Essence Of Iftar, Iftar With Non-Muslims Is Encouraged, Halal Food Is A Must

    Mohd Khair: Don’t Forget Essence Of Iftar, Iftar With Non-Muslims Is Encouraged, Halal Food Is A Must

    “Potluck Iftar”

    Someone shared this photo in one of the comments to a posting on my wall.

    We certainly applaud the move to encourage neighbourliness in the month of Ramadhan among residents regardless of race, language or religion to have dinner together, which in this case was done in conjunction with Iftar by Muslims neighbours.

    Nevertheless, there is a need to also recognise that Iftar is not just dinner, ordinarily.

    Iftar is the time when Muslims break their fast. And Muslims who fast, break their whole-day fasting with only halal foods.

    Having a potluck Iftar event is acceptable. In fact it is very much encouraged in Islam to share foods with others, what more during Iftar.

    However, the inclusion of non-halal foods in the Iftar could have been an oversight on the part of the event organisers. Appropriate advice should have been given earlier.

    Iftar is not just another dinner. Iftar has its special meaning to Muslims, and there is decorum associated with that special meaning.

    And decorum associated with certain terms is nothings new. There is decorum in the way the National Flag is to be handled, for example.

    The National Flag is not just a piece of cloth having red and white colours with a crescent and 5 stars on it. There is a Statute governing conduct with regards to the National Flag [See SINGAPORE ARMS AND FLAG AND NATIONAL ANTHEM ACT (CHAPTER 296, SECTION 2) and SINGAPORE ARMS AND FLAG AND NATIONAL ANTHEM RULES].

    Hence, just like the National Flag, there are certain decorum that needs to be accorded to Iftar too. And one of them is the provisioning of halal foods.

    Non-Muslims are free to join in Iftar with Muslims. We see that happening in Singapore at many Iftar events organised by Mosques and other Muslim organisations throughout Ramadhan. Nevertheless, since it is an Iftar event, decorum for the event should also be observed. Halal foods should be presented to all in any Iftar event because Iftar is for Muslims to break their fast. Non-Muslims are always welcomed to join in the Iftar, where only halal foods are served.

    Perhaps more needs to be done to help our non-Muslim neigbours understand the meaning of Iftar, and the associated decorum that needs to be observed when Iftar is organised as part of neighbourliness for all to come together regardless of race, language or religion.

    Ramadhan Mubarak

  • Malay Boy Helps Old Chinese Stranger Buy Food From Non-Halal Stall

    Malay Boy Helps Old Chinese Stranger Buy Food From Non-Halal Stall

    We sometimes have a tendency to judge strangers for their actions without appreciating the full story behind them.

    Take for example Twitter user Shaidlyn’s, who tweeted a video showing her boyfriend purchasing food from a non-halal stall.

    While they were purchasing the food, it seems some people were judging them, chiefly because it happened to be a Chinese cai png stall.

    The meal they tapao-ed consisted of a variety of ingredients, including pork.

    Now, needless to say, it is wrong to judge any other person for buying food in the first place, whatever creed or religion you assume they might possess or practise.

    But, as it turns out, the judgemental hawker centre patrons didn’t even have that moral high ground to stand on — the two of them were actually helping an elderly man buy the meal.
