KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 25: MCA president Chua Soi Lek (right) appears to be on a warpath, defending his criticism of Muslim women who chose not to shake hands with the opposite sex for religious reasons. In an angry reaction to questions from reporters, Chua insisted that the norm practised by many Muslim women to avoid skin contact with the opposite sex during handshake was contrary to "basic culture and manners to shake hands". “I have been in the public life for many years. It's part of the basic culture and manners to shake hands," said Chua, who also scolded a reporter from online portal Malaysiakini, which first broke news of Chua's attack on PAS candidate Normala Sudirman. Chua had poked fun over Normala's preference not to shake hands with the opposite sex, and compared it to a similar practice by PKR president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail. "She will not come here (a Chinese temple), she doesn't even shake hands with the people. I have received complaints about this. “She is like Anwar Ibrahim's wife. She wears gloves when she shakes hands. If you can accept this kind of Islamic values, go ahead and vote for PAS," he said. This was followed by deputy Domestic Trade Cooperative and Consumer Affair minister Tan Lian Hoe of Gerakan lashing out at Normala and saying her practise was proof of PAS's goal to establish "an extremist Islamic state". “This is the most basic thing... Not only men, but when she shakes hands with women, she also needs to wear glove," alleged Tan in the presence of her minister Ismail Sabri. "This is not friendly. It's as if she thinks our hands are dirty... I hope the Chinese voters are careful (with Islamic state). We are very worried about the Islamic state. They want to implement an extremist Islamic state," she added. Chua's comments drew strong reactions from Muslims from both sides of the divide, with many recalling his sex video which exposed his adulterous affair in a hotel room in 2008. Even UMNO deputy president Muhyiddin Yassin chided him for raising religious issues in MCA's bid to convince Chinese voters that PAS would trample on non-Muslim rights. Chua however dismissed Muhyiddin's reminder. "There is no need for the DPM or the media to communicate this to us," an irate Chua was quoted by Malaysiakini as saying. 'What's so great?' Despite the storm, Chua stood his ground, saying there was nothing great about knowing the Islamic religious values. "So what is so great about that? That is your religious value which I don't know. How am I to know about the religious values when I'm not practising that religion?” "I have the right to say that it's basic manners to shake hands with people. That's my values. Understand? You also must value my value, which is good manners, which includes shaking hands," he went on, as quoted by Malaysiakini. Meanwhile, condemnations continue to pour in over Chua's comments, with Selangor speaker Teng Chang Khim saying Chua's ignorance reflected the failure of racial integration as claimed by Barisan Nasional. “CSL says it's not fair for non-Muslim to understand Islamic values. No wonder BN's national integration policy has failed. "CSL now blames the media for the hand shake issue. He never blames his narrow-mindedness and sheer ignorance,” added Teng on Twitter. Perak mufti Harussani Zakaria has also broken his silence, and demanded Chua to issue an apology. “He has to know... he must respect religious practices of others, but if he doesn’t know, that is ignorance. If he knows, but pretend not to, that is insulting Islam," said Harussani, but quickly added he was not supporting the PAS candidate.

EMEL PILIHAN-Should Article 152 be scrapped from the Singapore Constitution?
Alfian Sa’at
The event was a screening of Singapore short films. During the Question & Answer session at the end, a member of the audience, a Korean man, offered an observation: “Despite the fact that Singapore is a multiracial country, why are the films shown tonight all in Chinese?”
His query provoked an immediate response from a lady in the audience. Before the microphone could be passed to her, she had shouted out, almost defensively, ‘Majority, what!’
There is of course a certain undeniable logic to the woman’s outburst. The Chinese are an overwhelming 75% of Singapore’s population. This is a very sizeable majority, if we compare it to other ‘multiracial’ countries: Malaysia (65% Malays and Bumiputra groups), Fiji (55% Fiji Islanders) and Guyana (44% Indo-Guyanese). If there were more media representations of the Chinese than the other races in Singapore, it was a matter of simple arithmetic.
But that was the woman actually saying with that phrase? Was she peeved that this ‘foreigner’ dared to suggest that Singapore’s ‘multi-racial’ ethos was superficial, even fraudulent? At the same time, I couldn’t help but be struck by a glib sense of entitlement that accompanied her prickly response.
*********
Recently, the Straits Times ran a feature article asking whether minorities in Singapore deserve a ‘special position’. What the article failed to recognize, however, was the ‘special position’ enjoyed by Chinese Singaporeans.
Simply put, these are the privileges that come from being members of the majority race.
When I was younger, I used to question why local advertisements rarely featured non-Chinese faces (bank and credit card companies were notorious for projecting images of well-heeled Chinese yuppies). I wondered why TVMobile showed Chinese programmes, which only served to marginalize those of us sitting in the bus who didn’t understand the language. But I came to realize that equal representation was simply not possible in a country where one particular ethnic community formed the bulk of the target market. I began to appreciate the difficulties of any minority, no matter how entrepreneurial, to penetrate communal business networks, where guanxi links have ossified over several generations.
It’s not simply economic supremacy that the majority enjoys, but also political hegemony. Singapore practices a form of electoral democracy, which by its definition establishes rule by a majority. Because of the HDB quota system, which mandates that the ethnic composition in each estate should mirror that of the nation as a whole, minority communities do not form any significant electoral bloc.
While areas such as Kembangan, Geylang Serai and the Southern Islands used to be Malay-dominated strongholds, this has been diluted over time. We can contrast this, for example, with the state of Pulau Pinang in Malaysia, where the Chinese actually form the majority. Ironically, the attempt to prevent certain neighborhoods from becoming Malay or Indian enclaves has actually resulted in each ward becoming a Chinese enclave.
However, it is the privilege of the majority to be exempted from accusations of forming ‘enclaves’ (or for that matter, ‘ghettoes’) in areas where they are concentrated, simply because those words are inextricably linked with minorities.
*********
Thus it was with a sense of bewilderment that I read Minister Mentor’s agitated rebuttal to NMP Viswa Sadasivan’s speech in Parliament. According to Lee, “Our Constitution states expressly that it is a duty of the Government not to treat everybody as equal.” He made particular reference to Section 152 of the Singapore Constitution, which reads as such:
‘Minorities and special position of Malays
152. —(1) It shall be the responsibility of the Government constantly to care for the interests of the racial and religious minorities in Singapore.
—-
(2) The Government shall exercise its functions in such manner as to recognise the special position of the Malays, who are the indigenous people of Singapore, and accordingly it shall be the responsibility of the Government to protect, safeguard, support, foster and promote their political, educational, religious, economic, social and cultural interests and the Malay language.’
The implication is that the ‘special position’ accorded to Malays in Singapore is an obstacle to true racial equality. This was Lee’s argument to supposedly bring the house ‘back to earth’ and demolish Viswa’s ‘highfalutin’ ideals. But it seems as if Lee has got the whole thing backwards.
While there has been talk about jettisoning Section 152, especially by some Malays who feel that they have been unfairly scapegoated, we should bear in mind that the section consists of two parts. The first part attempts to provide some means of redress for minority communities who are structurally disadvantaged.
The fact is that inequalities already exist in any society where there is a dominant ethnic majority. In other words, instead of sabotaging the idea of racial equality, this remedial clause actually tries to promote it—by recognizing that minorities do not enjoy the economic and political clout of the majority, and would require special attention and assistance. Lee has labeled Viswa’s speech as ‘false and flawed’. The same should actually be said for his rebuttal.
*********
A concrete example of this ‘remedial clause’ can be found in the television industry. In Singapore, there are dedicated channels for ethnic minorities, namely the Suria channel for Malays and Vasantham channel for Indians. It would be extremely difficult for these channels to survive on revenue from advertising alone. Not only do they suffer from lower viewership than say, Channel 8 and Channel U (the dedicated Mandarin channels), but advertisers would also recognize that the demographic profile of their viewers is hardly appealing (the Malay community, for example, is predominantly working-class, and for advertisers, this would mean lower purchasing power).
Thus, much of the budget for programming on Suria and Vasantham is derived from television licensing fees. This is a practice commonly known as public service broadcasting, acknowledged on the website of the Media Development Authority: “These (licensing) fees are essential in helping with the production of public service programmes as they are less commercially viable and require funding support.”
Without constitutional safeguards for minorities, a multiracial country like Singapore risks sliding into majoritarianism. Sri Lanka is a prime example of a country whose tragic history is a direct result of majoritarian trends. In 1956, 8 years after Independence, the Sinhalese majority (74%) passed an act to recognize Sinhala as the only official language, effectively sidelining the Tamil minority. A new constitution enshrined Buddhism as the state religion, and pro-Sinhalese preferential policies in education and employment were instituted. The result was a protracted civil war that has claimed thousands of lives.
*********
It is enlightening to revisit the part in Viswa’s speech which addressed the tenet in the pledge which reads as “one united people, regardless of race, language or religion”:
“…We, as a society, need to address apparent contradictions and mixed signals. Examples are the issue of Malay-Muslims in the SAF, SAP schools and cultural elitism, the need for ethnic based self help groups, the need for us to maintain the current racial distribution in society, and whether Singapore is ready for an ethnic minority Prime Minister.”
With the exception of ‘ethnic based self-help groups’, all the examples he listed represented the dangers of majoritarian impulses in Singapore. And out of this entire list, the Minister Mentor, in his rebuttal, chose only to respond to the issue of ethnic based self-help groups.
Lee’s explication of the second part of Section 152 is also notable for its selective omissions. Lily Zubaidah’s ‘The Singapore Dilemma’ provides an excellent analysis on the Singapore government’s ‘minimalist’, rather than ‘interventionist’ approach to Section 152. While the section calls for the government to exercise pro-active measures with regards to the Malay community, it does not detail what these measures should be.
Thus the government has elected to interpret the clause in narrow terms, restricting this to providing free tertiary education for the Malay minority. A more generous interpretation, for example, might have considered granting a Special Assistance Plan status to Malay-medium schools (such as the Sekolah Menengah Tun Sri Lanang and the Sekolah Menengah Sang Nila Utama), a privilege that was offered to 10 Chinese-medium schools.
In some instances, one can even argue that the government has acted in violation of Section 152. In the year 2000, the expropriation of Istana Kampong Glam, a symbol of Malay sovereignty on the island, surely did not demonstrate the political will to ‘safeguard (Malay) cultural interests’. The banning of the tudung in national schools in 2002 cannot be considered an act that ‘fosters (Malay) religious interests’. And the fact that the madrasahs in Singapore do not receive adequate funding from the Ministry of Education contravenes an obligation to ‘support (Malay) educational interests’.
As such, one wonders about the actual constitutional force of Section 152. Lee has raised Section 152 as some kind of stumbling block to equality. Yet the section itself has been subjected to unequal and arbitrary application in state policies.
*********
As I write this, I find myself wondering why it is so difficult for someone in the majority to appreciate his or her privileged status in Singapore. How is it possible for someone to yell out ‘Majority, what!’, in the same breath unapologetically disclaiming any responsibilities towards fellow citizens who are minorities? I imagine a giant flattening villages as it stomps along its carefree path. When asked to account for his actions, he answers, ‘I can’t help it, I’m big what!’
I believe there are two factors that can explain this lack of majority-consciousness among Chinese Singaporeans. The first is the fact that the Chinese did not come to the region as colonial settlers. Their arrival was facilitated by colonial capitalism, which often relied on indentured labour. Thus the Chinese do not see themselves as responsible for dispossessing native populations of their status and territories, and exploiting indigenous resources. As such, they do not carry the baggage of what has often been referred to as post-colonial guilt.
Secondly, there are some who believe that the Chinese-educated community has itself been marginalized, a phenomenon that has led sociologist Chua Beng Huat to coin the term ‘the minoritisation of the Chinese community’. I do have sympathy for such sentiments, although sometimes I wonder if a distinction needs to be made between government subjugation of leftist and communist activities (which tended to be associated with the Chinese-educated) and an actual repression of Chinese culture. Nevertheless, this sense of ‘minoritisation’ has led to a certain attitude in majority-minority relations: ‘how can the Chinese, who are themselves oppressed, be seen as the oppressors?’
No matter what the Chinese here feel about their status as the majority, the fact remains that this is a status that is not likely to change. Lee Kuan Yew himself has hinted at the need to maintain this ‘racial balance’ in a speech given in mid-August:
“By race, the fertility rate is 1.91 for Malays, 1.19 for Indians and 1.14 for Chinese. If we continue this way without the new immigrants and PRs and their children doing national service, the composition of our SAF will change. So please remember that”.
The tendency of any majority, if left unchecked, is towards tyranny. The tendency of any minority, if left unattended, is towards alienation. The presence of Section 152, a constitutional guarantee of minority protection, goes a long way towards alleviating the damaging forces of such vectors in our society. Far from undermining equality, Section 152 is an attempt to rectify asymmetries of power, to achieve parity, among those who are not born equal. It takes a particular form of genius to observe the reverse.

PERINGATAN : HENTIKAN MENGUMPAT
Hentikan mengumpat
SALAH satu sikap buruk yang ada pada manusia adalah mengumpat atau mengatakan perihal seseorang. Ada antara kita terutamanya golongan wanita cukup suka mengumpat.
Setiap hari ada sahaja perkara yang mahu diumpatkan dan paling mereka suka apabila ia berkaitan dengan rumahtangga atau hal peribadi seseorang.
Kalau yang diumpatkan itu musuh mereka maka semakin bersemangatlah mereka mengumpat sehingga akhirnya tanpa mereka menyedari mereka tergolong dalam golongan yang melakukan fitnah.
Rasulullah SAW menjelaskan mengenai mengumpat seperti mana sabda baginda yang bermaksud:
SALAH satu sikap buruk yang ada pada manusia adalah mengumpat atau mengatakan perihal seseorang. Ada antara kita terutamanya golongan wanita cukup suka mengumpat.
Setiap hari ada sahaja perkara yang mahu diumpatkan dan paling mereka suka apabila ia berkaitan dengan rumahtangga atau hal peribadi seseorang.
Kalau yang diumpatkan itu musuh mereka maka semakin bersemangatlah mereka mengumpat sehingga akhirnya tanpa mereka menyedari mereka tergolong dalam golongan yang melakukan fitnah.
Rasulullah SAW menjelaskan mengenai mengumpat seperti mana sabda baginda yang bermaksud:
Mengumpat itu ialah apabila kamu menyebut perihal saudaramu dengan sesuatu perkara yang dibencinya. (riwayat Muslim)
Memandangkan betapa buruk dan hinanya mengumpat, ia disamakan seperti memakan daging saudara seagama. Manusia waras tidak sanggup memakan daging manusia, inikan pula daging saudara sendiri.
Dosa mengumpat bukan saja besar, malah antara dosa yang tidak akan diampunkan oleh Allah biarpun pelakunya benar-benar bertaubat. Dosa mengumpat hanya layak diampunkan oleh orang yang diumpatkan.
Selagi orang yang diumpatnya tidak mengampunkan, maka dosa itu akan kekal dan menerima pembalasannya di akhirat.
Sabda Rasulullah SAW yang bermaksud:
"Awaslah daripada mengumpat kerana mengumpat itu lebih berdosa daripada zina. Sesungguhnya orang melakukan zina, apabila dia bertaubat, Allah akan menerima taubatnya. Dan sesungguhnya orang yang melakukan umpat tidak akan diampunkan dosanya sebelum diampun oleh orang yang diumpat.
(riwayat Ibnu Abib Dunya dan Ibnu Hibban)
(riwayat Ibnu Abib Dunya dan Ibnu Hibban)
Disebabkan mengumpat terlalu biasa dilakukan, maka ia tidak dirasakan lagi sebagai satu perbuatan dosa. Hakikat inilah perlu direnungkan oleh semua.
Mengumpat dan mencari kesalahan orang lain akan mendedahkan diri pelakunya diperlakukan perkara yang sama oleh orang lain. Allah akan membalas perbuatan itu dengan mendedahkan keburukan pada dirinya.
Sabda Rasulullah SAW yang bermaksud:
"Wahai orang beriman dengan lidahnya tetapi belum beriman dengan hatinya! Janganlah kamu mengumpat kaum muslim, dan janganlah kamu mengintip-intip keaibannya. Sesungguhnya, sesiapa yang mengintip keaiban saudaranya, maka Allah akan mengintip keaibannya, dan dia akan mendedahkannya, meskipun dia berada dalam rumahnya sendiri. (riwayat Abu Daud)
Orang yang mengumpat akan mendapat kerugian besar pada hari akhirat. Pada rekod amalan mereka akan dicatatkan sebagai perbuatan menghapuskan pahala.
Rasulullah SAW juga pernah bersabda yang bermaksud:
"Perbuatan mengumpat itu samalah seperti api memakan ranting kayu kering".
Pahala yang dikumpulkan sebelum itu akan musnah atau dihapuskan seperti mudahnya api memakan kayu kering sehingga tidak tinggal apa-apa lagi.
Diriwayatkan oleh Abu Ummah al-Bahili, di akhirat seorang terkejut besar apabila melihat catatan amalan kebaikan yang tidak pernah dilakukannya di dunia.
Maka, dia berkata kepada Allah:
"Wahai Tuhan ku, dari manakah datangnya kebaikan yang banyak ini, sedangkan aku tidak pernah melakukannya". Maka Allah menjawab: "Semua itu kebaikan (pahala) orang yang mengumpat engkau tanpa engkau ketahui".
Sebaliknya, jika pahala orang yang mengumpat tidak ada lagi untuk diberi kepada orang yang diumpat, maka dosa orang yang diumpat akan dipindahkan kepada orang yang mengumpat. Inilah dikatakan orang muflis di akhirat kelak.
Memandangkan betapa buruknya sifat mengumpat, kita wajib berusaha mengelakkan diri daripada melakukannya. Oleh itu perbanyakkanlah zikir supaya dapat menghindarkan diri daripada mengumpat.
Justeru tinggalkan amalan buruk berkenaan. Janganlah kita melampaui batas apabila kita tidak menyukai seseorang sehingga kita sanggup memburuk-burukkkannya di belakang.
Ingatlah setiap apa yang kita lakukan pasti ada pembalasan sama ada ia perbuatan baik atau sebaliknya.

EMEL PILIHAN-KEMASKINI FATWA HUKUM MLM
From: hey-qall <ai????????????85@yahoo.com>

Assalamualaikum,
saya ingin menarik perhatian pihak tuan berhubung fatwa MLM atau Multi Level Marketing.
Diharapkan pihak Tuan, dapat mengemaskini data tersebut dengan lebih jelas. Saya dapati hukum bagi MLM di website Majlis Fatwa adalah harus.tetapi tiada penjelasan mengenainya.
ini kerana :
1. Banyak syarikat yang menggunakan fatwa tersebut untuk mengaut keuntungan.
2. Banyak orang sudah tertipu dengan skim2 pyramid atau pun MLM terutama nya kaum MELAYU.
Ini antara kandungan yang dpt membantu dan mengelakkan penipuan berleluasa.Perkara ini ditulis oleh pihak JAKIM dalam Email, tetapi TIADA di website.
Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan telah mengeluarkan fatwa bahawa secara amnya hukum Multi Level Marketing (MLM) adalah harus. MLM itu harus hukumnya sekiranya:
- Transaksi iaitu akad antara penjual dan pembeli dilakukan atas kerelaan dua-dua belah pihak iaitu atas dasar suka sama suka dan tiada paksaan.
- Barang yang diperdagang atau dijualbeli suci, bermanfaat dan sahih sehingga tiada unsur kesamaran atau penipuan.
- Harga barangan yang diperjualbeli adalah wajar dan tidak membebankan.
Tetapi ada beberapa sebab yang akan membatal dan mengubah hukum harus tersebut kepada haram:
- Hasil pendapatan bukan dari hasil penjualan barang.
- Barangan yang ditawarkan tidak berkualiti dan benar-benar berguna atau mempunyai kajian saintifik.
- Ahli menyertai MLM kerana keinginan terhadap pendapatan yang dijanjikan bukan produknya.
- Harga tinggi daripada biasa.
- Belian peribadi minimum (target) sebagai syarat komisyen.
Jika ahli berdaftar menyertai MLM dengan yuran tertentu, tetapi tiada sebarang produk untuk diniagakan, perniagaannya hanyalah dengan mencari orang bawahanya (downline), setiap kali ia mendapat ahli baru, maka diberikan beberapa peratus dari yuran ahi tersebut kepadanya. Semakin banyak anggota baru bermakna semakin banyak jualah bonusnya. Ini adalah bentuk riba kerana memperdagangkan sejumlah wang untuk mendapat sejumlah lebih banyak yang lain di masa hadapan. Ia merupakan satu bentuk Riba Nasiah dan Riba Al-Fadl. Hal yang sama juga hukumnya bagi perusahaan MLM yang tidak mempunyai produk bersungguh dan berkualiti, sebaliknya produk miliknya hanyalah berupa ruangan laman web yang tidak berfaedah buat kebanyakkan orang, atau apa jua produk yang hanya dijadikan sebagai alasan pembelian. Malah harga sebenar produknya juga adakalanya jauh dari harga yang dijual kepada ahli (sebagai contoh dijual produk web komputer, sedangkan harganya jauh lebih tinggi dan si ahli pula tidak mempunyai komputer pun). Pada hakikatnya, si ahli bukannya ingin membeli produk itu, tetapi untuk menyertai rangkaian serta memperolehi wang darinya. Ia juga termasuk dalam yang diharamkan. Hal membeli produk tidak benar dengan niat utama memasuki rangkaian dan mendapat untung dari rangkaian ini telah difatwakan haram oleh Majlis Fatwa Al-Lajnah Ad-Daimah Arab Saudi no 15/192-193. (ini lebih kepada perniagaan internet seperti Login Facebook Dapat RM 100, Tunai Segera, RM20 Segera, MySpaceMoney, DAPATWANG dan sebagainya).
- Jual beli melibatkan barangan yang diharamkan dalam Islam.
- Terdapat juga unsur mirip “shafqatayn fi shafqah”, atau bay’atayn fi bay’ah, (iaitu dua aqad jenis jual beli dalam satu). Contohnya “aku jual barang water filter ini dengan harga RM 2000 dengan syarat engkau jadi wakil jualanku dengan komisyen sebanyak 3 % dari harga jualanmu dan aku beri mandat kamu untuk jadi lantik ahli baru dan setiap jualannya kamu akan dapat 1 % dengan syarat kamu ada jualan sendiri sebanyak RM 1000 setiap bulan”.
(Jawapan dari pihak JAKIM berhubung Hukum MLM).
Diharap pihak Tuan dapat memasukkan data-data tersebut agar dapat menjelaskan kepada orang awam.
kenapa hukum nya HARUS dan bagaimana terjadinya HARAM.
terima kasih.

ADUANPPIM: Produk Gula-Gula * Clorets *
Email dibawah ini dari seorang rakan....sekadar mahu berkongsi dan mengetahui kebenarannya. Untuk peringatan kita bersama sebagai muslim…. Produk Gula-Gula: Clorets Pada 22.12.2010 yang lalu saya telah menerima email dari seorang sahabat baik. Pada awalnya saya kurang yakin dengan email berantai yang sering kita terima dan kita tidak pasti kebenarannya. Jika kita menghantar (forward) email yang tidak sahih akan timbul satu fitnah yang berpanjangan. Kekadang email yang kita terima sudah diubahsuai (edit) oleh pihak tidak bertanggung jawab. Sebelum saya forward email dibawah saya cuba mencari bukti kebenarannya. Pada 26.12.2010 saya telah membeli gula-gula “Clorets Infinity” seperti yang diberitahu di kedai serbanika yang dimaksudkan. Bila dibuka penutup, saya terus beristiffar, ternyata dan apa yang saya dapati email dibawah ini adalah benar. Begitulah caranya orang kafir latnattulah menyebarkan ajaran sesat untuk menyembah syaitan secara senyap/halus. Jika tidak diambil peduli ini bermakna, jika kita orang islam membeli produk Clorets, sudah pastilah sedikit sebanyak kita menyumbang dana ke agama sesat tersebut. Dan, secara tidak langsung atau tidak sengaja di dalam poket manusia terutamanya orang-orang islam akan terdapat salib di dalam poketnya walaupun dia sedang solat jika ianya tidak mengetahui. Ini salah satu sebab kenapa kita tidak khusyuk bila mengerjakan solat atau ibadah lain kerana kita sering menggunakan produk yang tidak tentu asal usulnya, tidak halal yang kita gunakan atau makan. Pandainya tindakan orang-orang kristian menyebarkan agamanya kepada manusia dan kita orang islam semua tahu, mereka semua adalah golongan orang-orang yang sesat di sisi ALLAH SWT. Mulai hari, sama ada di dalam poket, kereta atau di rumah kita yang mempunyai produk gula-gula Clorets buangkan kedalam tong sampah. Kita orang-orang islam berjanji untuk BOIKOT (tidak membeli/mengguna) produk clorets atau sekutunya. PPIM : Kami sedang mendapatkan penjelasan daripada pihak pengeluar. |

ADUAN PILIHAN : PERAYAAN THAIPUSAM DAN HAK PENGGUNA ISLAM

Perayaan Thaipusam datang lagi. Tapi kenapa bertumpu di Batu Caves? Carilah stadium atau kawasan-kawasan luar bandar yang jauh dari kawasan taman-taman perumahan. Amatlah malang bagi penduduk di Taman Koperasi Polis Taman Batu Caves, Medan Batu Caves yang mengalami kessukaran untuk keluar rumah menjalani kehidupan harian. Ke sekolah, ke pejabat, malah ke pasar borong apalagi hendak ke masjid Amaaniah yang jaraknya beberapa meter saja dari pusat perayaan di kuil batu caves. Bukankah pelanggaran hak asasi pengguna telah berlaku pada penduduk-penduduk di sana apabila perhimpunaan besar dibenarkan?. Saya sendiri pernah mengalami perjalanan ke UIA yang amat sukar beberapa hari menjelang perayaan thaipusam
Jika dikaji sejarah dari negara asaal hindu sendiri tidak terdapat sebarang perhimpunan ratusan ribu manusia untuk tujuan merayakan thaipusam. Kenapa perkara ini berlaku di India? di Batu Caves yang majoriti penduduknya beragama Islam. Perarakan patung dewa hindu memang telah menyinggung perasaan orang Islam ditambah pula dengan kesukaran mereka menjalani kehidupan seharian. Jangan pula satu hari nanti ada pemimpin hindu yang mengatakan dewa ravana pernah bertapa di batu caves, lantas pembesaran kuil boleh dilakukan sewenang-wenang hatta dengan meruntuhkan masjid amaniah, sebagaimana penganut hindu di India meruntuhkan masjid babri.
Jika peguam bukan Islam berani membantah azan dilaungkan dari masjid, maka siapakaah gerangan peguam Islam yang berani membantah perhimpunan mega thaipusam di batu caves? Apakah kesukaran dari suara azan yang dilaungkan lima kali sehari untuk tempoh beberapa minit berbanding kesukaran perjalanan dan pengangkutan ketika perayaan thaipusam?

[sim] KOMPLEN : Perkhidmatan Hong Leong Bank

Subject: [sim] KOMPLEN : Perkhidmatan Hong Leong Bank
Assalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera,
Saya sudah posting luahan rasa ni dalam facebook. Tetapi saya sengaja cut n paste semula untuk bacaan warga dua grup yahoo ini yang mungkin tidak mempunyai akaun facebook supaya sama-sama mendapat iktibar daripada kejadian malang yang menimpa saya. Bayangkan... kesusahan yang terpaksa saya lalui selama 8 tahun apabila tidak ada satu Bank pun yang mahu meluluskan pinjaman terutama apabila saya hendak membantu emak ubah suai rumah, menyambung belajar, membeli kereta dan membeli hartanah gara-gara sikap sambil lewa mereka.
Awal cerita bermula dengan kisah aku membayar habis dua kad kredit Hong Leong Bank (HLB) sekitar tahun 2003. Tapi aku masih ingat aku menggunting kad kredit berkenaan di hadapan pegawai bank Hong Leong Taman Kinrara. Selepas dari itu aku selalu bermasalah apabila hendak membuat pinjaman. Aku beranggapan yang aku ni mungkin ccris sebab menjadi penjamin kawan. Sehinggalah semalam aku dan suami tergerak hati hendak menyemak status ccris kami di Bank Negara.
Terperanjat sungguh kami apabila mendapati nama aku disenaraikan di bawah Pemerhatian Khas. Apa salahku? Kenapa pulak nama aku di bawah pemerhatian khas sedangkan aku tak berhutang satu sen pun dengan HLB? Pegawai Bank Negara yang baik hati telah membantu aku mendapatkan nombor telefon HLB. Aku terus menelefon HLB berkenaan perkara ini dan pegawai yang menjawab telefon meminta aku menghubungi Credit Control Department.
Allah saja yang tahu betapa susahnya Department Credit Control HLB nak angkat phone. Sia-sia sejam menunggu talian asyik sibuk. Aku telefon semula HLB untuk mendapatkan alamat penuh. Bila tanya Credit Card Control Dept di mana ya, saya ingin dapatkan alamat penuh? Depa jawab PJ. Ya lah saya tahu PJ tapi apa nama jalan, lorong, sebelah bangunan apa.. PJ tu besar kan? Then barulah pengawai tu terhegeh-hegeh nak cari.
Disebabkan marah dan geram, aku terus mengajak suami meredah highway dari Bank Negara ke pejabat Credit Control Department di Seksyen 51A, PJ. Berjam-jam aku ronda keliling Seksyen 51A. Haram nak jumpa jalan. Minyak kereta isi RM30 pun hangus macam tu je. Sehinggalah aku terpaksa meminta bantuan kawan yang mempunyai internet di rumah.
Tiba di sana, aku diminta menunggu dalam bilik mesyuarat. Habis masa 20 minit menunggu. Selepas puas kami memberi isyarat mata kepada receptionist, barulah seorang pegawai terhegeh-hegeh datang.
Apabila aku meminta mereka membuat penjelasan sambil menunjukkan salinan ccris dari Bank Negara barulah mereka mengaku bahawa bank cawangan tak update dengan mereka mengenai hal ini. Habis itu mereka simply buat keputusan letakkan nama aku under Pemerhatian Khas? Kenapa tidak ada sesiapa pun menghubungi nombor telefon yang sudah aku gunakan sejak tahun 1997 sehingga sekarang atau pejabat yang aku bekerja sejak 15 tahun dulu sehingga sekarang?
Nombor telefon aku dan alamat pejabat aku ada pada mereka. Susahkah hendak bertanya khabar kepada aku? Kenapa letak nama aku under Pemerhatian Khas sedangkan balance aku dalam kad kredit tu kosong?
Then mereka kata ada charges yang tertunggak ..RM271. Aikk? Dari mana plak charges tu kalau time tutup kad tu depa siap2 dah calculate interest. Aku ingat lagi budak cina lelaki yang calculate interest masa nak tutup kad tu. Konon nak ambik hati aku, pegawai HLB suruh aku tulis nota ringkas kat borang sebagai bukti aku mintak waivekan charges yang tertunggak tu. Aku bukan buat nota tapi aku tulis satu perenggan ayat - 30 patah perkataan. Aku tidak bersalah tetapi mangsa! Aku tulis sampai tak cukup tempat kosong. Geram aku kerana HLB menyusahkan hidup aku selama 8 tahun!
Kesimpulannya.. tak payahla gunakan kad kredit lagi. So far hidup aku aman damai je selepas tak menggunakan kad kredit sejak tahun 2003. - lily madom

PERJUANGAN KAMI
I would never have completed my degree without the benefit of using my parent’s CPF, and I have always been envious of those who could enjoy the benefits of free education, be it in Singapore or abroad.
Let’s see how far we could go without benefits of any kind to anybody (except those who are needy and less privileged) and let the actions of each individual speak for themselves as they take up their various posts in society (if your superiors don’t appreciate your talent and work, then it’s really time to move on).
I sometimes feel discriminated by the HR in govt sector as I do not hold a prestigious scholarship…but I would not give up trying for them. I know I have nothing to lose in being persistent.
I have people telling me of how life abroad is so much better here, yet there’re those who have felt discrimination being the minority. In a way, it is a matter of what you want or look for in life that determines what kind of treatment you deem as fair or not. And I know some things here are not beneficial for me and what I want to achieve in life. I’m not sure if it’ll work out for me elsewhere, but I’ll give it a try too.
I didn’t experience the era that LKY and our pioneers lived in so I can’t judge them on the policies that they deemed were necessary for Singapore back then. Some may be archaic but a lifetime of struggles and fears could be too deep-seated to let go now. What I do appreciate is whatever small comforts I could afford even while the rest of the world is dealing with job losses and bankruptcies.
lky is just blaming the article 152 for all the inequality the malays/minority get in singapore what a joke,he wont die a happy man until he can scrap the article 152,
The Government shall exercise its functions in such manner as to recognise the special position of the Malays, who are the indigenous people of Singapore
this part of the article 152 which makes him loose sleep ever night
malays are the indegeniuos people of singapore,they should have special rights so nothing wrong with it
so the article 152 should stand and shall not be scrapped till eternity,cus this articles proved that the malays are the original,indegenious ,first nation,aborigines of singapore written in black and white
