    Clarification – Out Of The Box Kids’ Club: We Employ Muslim Staff Who Wear The Hijab

    Hi Jefri, thank you for your email.

    To clarify, 6 employees out of 9 are Muslim and 3 wearing the hijab. Our food is cooked by a Muslim wearing a hijab, our food is halal.

    So I believe that explains everything.

    The person who came for the interview and complained on this matter left a job after 1 month and another with a child care centre after 3 months and reason being ,she cant take the children’s noise.

    During the interview, she was told then, that this may not be the right environment or suitable job as we are dealing with kids from P1 to P6 so obviously it would be noisy.

    We have Muslims, Indians and Chinese working here with different religions as well.

    I hope this will clarify the matter.

    Thank you
    Regards
    Angela Diaz
    Centre Manager

  • Student Care Centre Rejects Muslimah Because She Wears Hijab

    Student Care Centre Rejects Muslimah Because She Wears Hijab

    So Today I got rejected in a interview , simply because I was wearing the HIJAB.

    This was what happened .

    I went in and had an interview with the manager/boss . So she asked for my certs and since I didn’t bring it , I told her I’ll email it to her. Then suddenly she started off by saying why didn’t you go to ite after your N levels . I then told her that if I went to ITE, I will have to remove my scarf, she just say , “then take out your scarf lo” . Was shocked to hear that , but I smiled . Then she went on saying , “this job(student care teacher) got no future” so she was just talking and I was just listening to everything she had to say. And then at one point she said , ” don’t think I don’t like you (which obviously she doesn’t like me) , I think you have a bright future (I felt the insincerity) . So I said ok, since you feel this job has no future and that this job is suitable for the elderly,housewives, I asked her, ” If that’s the case, can my mom come and work here?” She immediately asked , “is your mom a Muslim?” Like even a monkey would know that my mom is obviously a Muslim. I told her “ya.” She then said ,”oh, your mom wears the hijab right? I don’t want this place to have muslim people , later they will think this is a Muslim student care and that won’t look good for our centre.” And she mentioned after that, that they’re finding for a Chinese teacher. Racist. Racist. Racist. After that, she called her Miss Angela( who claimed shes a counsellor) came in and said that they have few kids who are ADHD and that I can’t control them . This was all EXCUSES . They wasted my time travelling from yishun to bukit Timah . The centre name is OUT OF THE BOX KID’S CLUB.
