"Understanding Islam"Organised by MUIS (Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura) and Mesra (Majlis Penyelaras Kumpulan-kumpulan Kegiatan Melayu Persatuan Rakyat)...Something organised, to share to all Muslims and non-muslims the simple understanding of what islam is all about.. They invited Saff's main leadership, the 3 heads n the 2 secretaries, through MCYS. So i got the chance to go.. alhamdulillah..Met Siuman INC (Hasrudi Impian), Fadzrun NUSMS, Marjianah NUSMS, Saiful NTUMS, and many more.. the mufti, yaacob ibrahim.. pendek kata.. all malay muslims MPs and important figures were around.. Others there were like the other non-muslims from GRCs and other bodies and all..D 1st part of the event was a so-so, (to muslims) tho Ust Naziruddin did a good job, explaining islam, and speaking so eloquently.. i gues.. it was a really interesting sessions for the non-muslims..D most interesting part was on the QnA...questions like:1) Request to include messages like promoting muslims to participate in mainstream activities by the GRCs, for all of us to create the Multiracialism in Singapore.. to be mention in Friday prayer sermons.. (hmmm... interesting..tho islam always teaches to be good to others n enjoin good with others..)2) Y is it an OFFENCE for Muslims to be licked or even to be with dogs??well it was well answered by the pannelist (Ust Nazirudin n Ust Hasbi) that, its not an offence at all.. n furthermore, its ok for us to keep it.. even in the sum parts of middle eastern world its being kept and used as Watchdogs for the houses. D only issue is that, u will need to wash urself in a certain kind of way... tts all.. Muslims dont hate animals.. heh..alamak... theres more lah... but really.. its just interesting to hear questions from non-muslims regarding islam..at the end, sumone commented that.. these kidna programs should be done for all religions as well... taoist, budhist, christians, hindus and all.. so tt.. the multiracial community in spore can understand and respect each other better... yeap.. InsyaALLAH...Sorry.. no photos.. ahaha.. n erm.. the FOOD WERE GREAT!!!!You can read the coverage in BH or here.. http://cyberita.asia1.com.sg/singapura/story/0,3617,68282,00.html?
