  • How Many Michael Palmers And David Ongs Are There In PAP?

    How Many Michael Palmers And David Ongs Are There In PAP?

    PAP MP David Ong has announced his resignation citing personal reasons, ie “personal indiscretions”.David, a Christian with three children, was having an affair with 41-year old Wendy Lim, an active member of the PAP Women’s Wing in Bukit Batok.

    In an interview with CNA, David said he would “appreciate if you can give me and my family the privacy to heal and rebuild”. It appears David has forgotten he has been a public figure since becoming an MP in 2011. He has also received close to 1 million tax dollars in MP allowance.

    David has also received tax dollars as managing director of Red Dot Publishing which counts the Singapore Tourism Board as its main client. Its total annual circulation for maps in four languages is 3,200,000 copies.

    Extramarital affairs is a reality of life, like it or not. It happens in the private sector, military, civil service and of course grassroots organisations. Thousands of affairs are happening at any one time, some with the knowledge of spouses, others not. The fact is women gravitate towards men with power, money or both.

    David has a sort of ‘nice guy’ image online and many Singaporeans would like to let the matter rest. However, this is impossible because PAP has painted itself whiter than white, now into a corner.

    The internet has a perfect memory and netizens have not forgotten the Yaw Shin Leong scandal, where the mainstream media and PAP went for the jugular.

    In 2012, PAP Chairman Hara Kiri Khaw, who claimed to be a Buddhist, said that “…once a person enters politics, there is no difference between his or her public and private life” and he also did not hesitate to take pot shots at WP. What goes around has finally come around.

    Should David should expect others to be forgiving, and we would really like to, while PAP continues to hit below the belt at every opportunity?

    David was in an influential position and was privy to lots of confidential information. Did Wendy benefit from the relationship, besides sexually? This warrants an investigation.

    David Ong won’t be the last PAP member to be caught with his pants down. The PAP has attracted self-serving men who are mostly after only money and power. Women in turn are attracted towards such men, no matter how useless to society they may be.

  • MUIS – It Is Not Justifiable For Sultan Mosque To Chase Us Out Because A Minister Is Visiting

    MUIS – It Is Not Justifiable For Sultan Mosque To Chase Us Out Because A Minister Is Visiting

    Dear Sultan Mosque – Singapore.

    My friends and I were chased out of your public praying area by one of your staff around 5pm because a “minister” was visiting your premises. After our (5 of us) Asr prayers we sat down for a discussion about Islam matters and fiqh. Out of a sudden one of your staff came to us and told us to leave the premise because “5 or more people sitting in the prayer hall is an offence”.

    Since when is this a rule in Allah’s house. What make matter worse when he go on and on about Isis and illegal gathering. As this is Allah’s house my friends and I just want to leave the hall without any unnecessary argument.

    As we were taking our belongings to leave he added “as there will be a minister visiting this mosque, it is advisable for you guys to leave because this might be an ugly sight for the minister and the mosque.”

    You know what? May Allah judge you and your organization for this appalling incident and niat. So a minister is greater than Allah?

    ITTAQULLAH!

  • Muslims To Contribute More To Mosque Building And Mendaki Fund From June

    Muslims To Contribute More To Mosque Building And Mendaki Fund From June

    Starting Jun 1, monthly contributions by Muslims to the Mosque Building and Mendaki Fund (MBMF) will be raised by between S$1 and S$10.

    The increase, announced by Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Dr Yaacob Ibrahim at the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore’s (MUIS) Workplan Seminar on Saturday (Mar 12), is the first revision to contributions since 2009.

    Four additional tiers have been added for those earning between S$4,000 and S$10,000.

    Muslims earning below S$1,000 as well as those earning between S$1,000 and S$2,000 will pay S$1 more, bringing their monthly contribution to S$3 and S$4.50, respectively. The contributions progressively increase based on eight income bands, up to a maximum of S$26 for those earning above S$10,000, an increase of S$10 from the current monthly contribution.

    “The revision will allow us to raise an addition of at least S$6 million every year and this will go a long way to improve the socio-religious life of our community,” Dr Yaacob said.

    The MBMF has enabled the upgrading of 17 mosques adding 4,700 prayer spaces, as well as contributed to the building of new mosques such as the Al-Islah Mosque in Punggol, he said. The fund has also helped to enhance madrasah education and support parents with school-going children.

    MUIS said higher contributions will help ensure the timely completion of future mosque development and upgrading projects. The increase will also boost funding for Mendaki, which has dipped into its reserves since 2013 to expand its educational programmes and meet rising costs, it said.
