“I am born like this and like that, therefore I have the right to behave in such and such manner.”
We are all born with the carnal self, so what do we do with that? Yes, we have the right, and that right is to direct that carnal self to goodness.
We all are born as God’s servant, therefore we have the responsibility to make sure that the rights that we think we posses are not wrongs to Him. All of us are tested with different feelings and inclinations, it is a challenge, but it is also an opportunity for us to prove our Love for Him. We should be free to Love Him by unshackling ourselves from the control of our carnal selves.
If we take care of our responsibilities (Waajibaat), rights will be fulfilled. If we focus only on rights (Huquq), is there guarentee that responsibilities will be fulfilled? Rights are demands while responsibilities are services. A community of service (Khidmah) is what we want. Service to God, One’ self, Fellow Human Beings & The rest of the Creations.

Thanks to a vigilant Singaporean, Rilek1Corner was alerted again on another racist and offensive comment by a male Chinese who goes by the name of ‘Issac Teck Shuean‘.
Issac who stated on his Facebook profile to be residing in Singapore and born in Johor, had called Malays “stupid and poor” and “extremist“.
Last month, another male Singaporean Chinese man, Peter Hu lodged a police complaint to say that he did not post an offensive comment on Muslims. In his attempt to cover up his insensitive remark, Peter Hu claimed that his account was “hacked”. In another posting he claimed that the image was “doctored”. Later on, he said that he was unaware of the offensive posting existence until his friends had informed him about it.
So which is the truth? One story, different information coming from the same guy.
Rilek1Corner was informed that Peter Hu who is openly gay, an avid PinkDot SG supporter and an LGBT activist, had previously argued with several anti-PinkDot activists in a Facebook group called ‘We are against PinkDot’.
Another female Singapore Chinese woman named ‘Kim’ who has an Instagram account ‘@kimmeeoow’ also said offensive remarks on Muslims and Malays.
She claimed her Instagram account was hacked. But preliminary investigations from netizens and tip-off from her friends have revealed that none of her social media accounts was hacked because she was posting as usual after she made those offensive comments. The police are also currently investigating this case.
Also in the hall of shame, we have Amy Cheong who was an employee of NTUC was terminated due to her tactless insensitive remarks on Malays.
Her insensitive comments have deeply hurt the Malay community and left a lasting impact thus far.
While we understand offensive comments made by non Malays/Muslims such as Peter Hu, Amy Cheong, Kimmeeoow, and now Issac Teck Shuean are not true reflection of majority, we the minority, cannot help but notice the increasing number of individuals who are unhappy towards both the Malay and Muslim communities.
Our advice: Keep those thoughts to yourself. Don’t share it on social media because chances are, you will be featured here. And the rest will be history.
Racism is not confined to one race – all communities need to join hands to end it. It is an issue ignored, downplayed and denied.
Let’s move forward. Let’s end racial prejudice and religious discrimination.
The accused, who cannot be named due to a gag order, pleaded guilty last month to having oral sex with the victim outside a toilet cubicle at the children’s home in June last year. Both were then staying at the home.
A district court heard that the victim was about to take off his clothes and put them in the laundry basket outside a toilet cubicle when the accused entered the toilet.
The accused asked the victim if he was all right and the boy replied in the affirmative. The accused came nearer to the victim and asked him to perform oral sex on him.

SEORANG lelaki berusia 20 tahun dijatuhi hukuman menjalani latihan pemulihan padi tadi kerana membuat seorang budak lelaki berusia 12 tahun melakukan seks oral ke atasnya.
Kededua tertuduh dan mangsa merupakan penghuni sebuah rumah tumpangan kanak-kanak di sini, dan kesalahan itu berlaku di rumah tumpangan itu Jun tahun lalu.
Tertuduh, yang mengaku bersalah bulan lalu, telah mengadakan seks oral dengan mangsa di luar sebuah kubikel tandas.
Superintenden rumah tumpangan tersebut membuat laporan polis pada 19 Julai tahun lalu selepas mangsa mengadu kepadanya tentang kejadian itu.
Timbalan Pendakwa Raya, Cik Siti Adrianni Marhain, berkata tertuduh telah mengambil kesempatan ke atas mangsa yang muda, yang tujuh tahun lebih muda daripadanya.
Mangsa juga belum cukup matang untuk melakukan kegiatan seks, apatah lagi kejadian itu berlaku di sebuah rumah tumpangan kanak-kanak, di mana mangsa seharusnya berhak berasa selamat, kata Cik Adrianni.
Menurutnya, laporan Institut Kesihatan Mental (IMH) menunjukkan mangsa telah melahirkan rasa bersalah dan malu akibat kejadian itu.
Dalam rayuannya untuk meminta hukuman diringankan, tertuduh berkata dia tidak mendapat kasih sayang daripada ibu bapa.
Dia ditinggalkan ibunya semasa kecil lagi sementara bapanya telah meninggal dunia.
Since the launch of the Wear White campaign, there has been many stubborn Muslims who still support Pink Dot and attack the Wear White movement.
I wrote before in a previous article that these Muslims who support Pink Dot should be charged for spreading False Doctrine under AMLA S139.
“Section 139 of AMLA states that “Whoever shall teach or publicly expound any doctrine or perform any ceremony or act relating to the Muslim religion in any manner contrary to the Muslim law shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $2,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months or to both.”
Those people encouraging Muslims to attack the #wearwhite movement and to support Pink Dot are clearly teaching a false doctrine that is contrary to Muslim law. They should thus be punished with the maximum fine of $2000 and a prison term of 12 months to send a clear message to fellow Muslims that they must respect Islam and not attack our pro-natural family message.”
What is worst though that there are some “Muslims” who claim to be Muslims but are actually gay. Islam forbids homosexuality so they are clearly not Muslims, and they are confusing the community by calling themselves Muslims. I think the time has come for Muslim gays to be charged under Section 377A.
PM Lee once said 377A will not be “proactive enforced”, but I believe that for Muslim gays who claim that they are Muslims, we should punish them under 377A. As anyone who knows Islam will tell you, if you are Muslim, you cannot be gay. Hence, 377A should be actively enforced for Muslims. Those “Muslims” who are gay but want to call themselves Muslim do not have the right to do so, because Islam does not allow that. Applying 377A on gay “Muslims” will help to uphold the morality of the community. This proposal can be extended to the Christians as well, as they are also strongly against homosexuality.
I hope the relevant authorities like the police and government considers this seriously, because it has a duty to protect the Muslim religion and community.
Also, I support the call by our brave Bro Syed Muhd Bashir AlAzmatkhan to file police report and complaints to the subordinate Courts against the LGBT/Pink Dot movement. He has shared with us some tips and he said that the I.O. was very encouraging and helpful: “hi …police i.o did mention a few valid stuff..example ..the merit of my report,the potential danger..and the need for public to come forward if the felt the same……and their need to review pinkdot/lgbt permits applications…among some of the things the i.o mentioned.”
