  • Confirmed That Malay Race Is Essentially Muslim, All Indian Muslims Are Malays But Christian Malays Are Not Malays

    Confirmed That Malay Race Is Essentially Muslim, All Indian Muslims Are Malays But Christian Malays Are Not Malays

    At the Institute of Policy forum yesterday (Sep 8), Minister of State Chan Chun Sing and Senior Minister of State Janil Puthucheary both confirmed that the Malay race is essentially Muslim and that all Indian Muslims are Malays, and Christian Malays are not Malays.

    The two Ministers were responding to a Malay Christian IPS professor Dr Mathew Mathews and NUS law professor Dr Kevin Tan. Minister Chan Chun Sing said it is “common-sensical” a person’s race is decided by the 16-member committee under Lee Hsien Loong:

    “A 16-member committee will certify a prospective candidate’s racial group. The very concept of race evolves and the system to determine one’s race should not take a definitive, restrictive, exclusive approach. The community must come to terms (with) who best represents them. If the community accepts someone… then who else outside the community will want to dispute that and who else in the community will want to dispute that? So it’s a very common-sensical way to allow the community to decide for themselves.”

    Senior Minister Janil Puthucheary told Dr Mathew Mathews that he might be a Malay but he will be denied the contest because he is Christian. The Minister then tell the Christian Malay to contest in an “open” election:

    “If the Malay community changes its aspirations and its sense of what makes a Malay five years from now, there should be a way to reflect that in the choice of candidate, without us having to go for a potentially very divisive Constitutional amendment. The hypothetical individual mentioned by Dr Mathew could feel excluded, but the individual could still contest in an open election.”

    NUS law professor Dr Kevin Tan confirmed that the government having the final call on what race a person is is unconstitutional:

    “That the decisions of the Community Committee— which also assesses minority candidates under the Group Representation Constituency system in General Elections — are final, is also a problem. That is probably unconstitutional… The basic fundamental principle about the separation of powers is that if the court has to interpret the constitution, no branch of the Government can tell the court what to do.”

    Fatal ‘Hit-And-Run’ Accident On SLE Involving 23-Year-Old Rider; Police Investigating

    A 23-year-old male motorcyclist died in a hit-and-run accident on Seletar Expressway (SLE) on Sunday (Sept 10) afternoon.

    Police were alerted to the accident, which occurred in the direction of Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE), at 1.33pm.

    The motorcyclist was taken unconscious to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH).

    The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said he had suffered from traumatic arrest – which meant his heart stopped beating – and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was administered en route to the hospital.

    The hospital was alerted to be on standby to receive him. He later succumbed to his injuries.

    The Straits Times understands he suffered a head injury and a fractured left arm.

    His pillion rider, a 22-year-old man, was conscious when taken to KTPH, and had abrasions on his left limb.

    Police investigations are ongoing.

    At 1.59pm, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) tweeted about the accident, saying there was “congestion” until the Woodlands Avenue 2 exit, and that motorists should avoid the second and third lanes.

    There was still heavy traffic as of 4.01pm.

    Spotted A Group Of E-Scooter Riders Travelling With Young Kids @ IKEA Tamp

    tomper Eugenia was near IKEA Tampines when she saw a group of e-scooter riders travelling with young kids.

    Two men and a woman were riding the e-scooters and a young boy and girl were sitting on the decks of the men’s scooters, holding on to the handlebar stem.

    This is dangerous on all levels, not to mention that nobody in the group was wearing a helmet as a safety precaution.

  • So Is Farid Khan Supportive Or Against The Unjust Persecution Of Rohingyas?

    So Is Farid Khan Supportive Or Against The Unjust Persecution Of Rohingyas?

    Yesterday Farid Khan’s personal FB account shared a post containing a link to a petition which expressed support for the prosecution of Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi in the European Court of Human Rights over the Rohingya refugee crisis. When public found out about the post, he deleted the FB account to prevent a ‘similar incident’ from happening in the future and issued a statement.

    In the statement, it wrote:

    “It has been brought to my attention regarding a report by ASS, alleging that I am throwing my “weight behind a petition calling on the European Court of Human Rights to try Myanmar leader ASSK for human rights violations” in Myanmar. The report is completely untrue.”

    So this Muslim presidential candidate retracted his post on petition for Rohingyas after it was known to public. But why did he retract his support or lack of?

    A netizen posed him this question:

    “Mr Khan, so do you support our Muslim brothers and sisters who have been unjustly persecuted and murdered by the Myanmarese government, and whos nobel laureate aung san suu kyi did not do anything to stop these human rights violations?”

    Maybe Singaporeans especially Muslims in Singapore would like to know his answer to the question. To be fair, does any of the 3 Muslim presidential candidates care for our Rohingya brothers and sisters?
