  • Perak’s Mufti Blames Woman In Shell Poster For Arousing Men

    Perak’s Mufti Blames Woman In Shell Poster For Arousing Men

    According to Perak’s Mufti, Dr Harussani Zakaria, using a full-size poster, plastic dolls and the likes which features women’s body shape is not allowed in Islam. He further elaborated that all stakeholders should acknowledge that such use of women’s poster may cause negative effects, such as men getting aroused and start “molesting” the poster.

    This is in relation to the viral photos of men who posed candidly in a sexual manner with a Shell full-size poster featuring a woman, Nor Shafila Khairusalleh. Despite abusing her poster, Nor Shafila has forgiven the men for their actions. The President of Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (Isms), Abdullah Zaik Abdul Raman mentioned that whatever happened to Nor Shakily was due to Shell’s decision in featuring a woman in their poster. Abdullah further clarified that it is natural for men to be aroused when they see a woman, although men should lower their gaze.

    [Malaysia] Shell To Remove Cardboard Model Standees After Perverts ‘Molest’ Them In Viral Photos

    Oil giant Shell today said today it will be removing all standees modelled by one of its Malay Muslim woman employees following viral images of the men in suggestive poses with her cardboard cut-out.

    Shell also advised the public against further sharing such images which it termed as “distasteful”.

    “We are aware that pictures of several individuals photographed engaging in distasteful and suggestive acts with a promotional standee at our retail stations are circulating online.

    “We do not condone this disrespectful act, which is completely against the culture of Malaysians and Shell’s core values. We urge netizens and members of the public to refrain from sharing these images further.

    “The standee will be removed from all our sites with immediate effect,” it said in a statement.

    Several photos that have been making the rounds on social media showed men holding hands with the cut-out, kissing its cheek, and even grabbing at the breast.

    The model pictured in the Shell promotional standee, Nor Shafila Khairusalleh, 25, was reported saying yesterday that she was perturbed by men “molesting” her likeness.

    The petrol station supervisor told mStar Online that she could accept men who posed kissing or hugging her likeness, but not if they went overboard as it would be akin to sexual harassment.

    “They may just be joking, but I feel ashamed because that is still myself although it is just an image,” she was quoted saying.

    Nor Shafila was also reported that her husband was distressed seeing men “molest” his wife’s image, but that he remains an understanding partner.

    Fire At Shell’s Pulau Bukom Plant Leaves 6 Injured

    A fire broke out at oil giant Shell’s manufacturing site on Pulau Bukom on Friday evening, leaving six workers with burn injuries.

    The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said they received a call at around 6.15pm about the fire from the Pulau Bukom Manufacturing Site.

    Upon its arrival, the fire had already been extinguished by Shell’s emergency response team.

    The six victims were sent to the Singapore General Hospital (SGH).

    Three of them are in a “critical condition”, said a SGH spokesman. One is in a stable condition, and two others were discharged after receiving outpatient treatment.

    In a statement. a Shell spokesperson said: “We are following the progress and treatment of the other workers closely and are working with our contractors to ensure all possible support and assistance are rendered to the injured workers and their families. All other personnel are accounted for at the site.”

    Shell also confirmed that the fire was put out within an hour by the site’s first emergency responders and there were no other impact on the site’s operations.

    “We are working with the Singapore Civil Defence Force to investigate the incident,” the statement also said.

    In the Facebook post, SCDF also said that “contrary to speculation, there is no SCDF personnel among the casualties”.

    Pulau Bukom houses the $4.1 billion Shell Eastern Petrochemicals Complex, which opened in May 2010, and is Shell’s largest petrochemical investment.

    This is not the first time a fire broke out at Pulau Bukom. In September 2011, more than 100 firefighters helped to put out a fire that raged for 32 hours at the Pulau Bukom refinery. Shell was fined $80,000 the following year for lapses in workplace safety that led to the fire.
