In the wake of the detention of a self-radicalized female Singaporean Muslim, the National Council of Churches Singapore (NCCS) has written a letter of solidarity addressed to the Mufti of Singapore, Mr Mohamed Fatris Bakaram, and the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS).

City Harvest Church - the court case looks to drag again and as their sentences get halved and then the government seeks to reinstate the original sentence. (which is very rare as far as I know). To me, the worst people are not the people standing in courts. Not Kong Hee. Not his wife, Sun Ho. Not Serine Wee. Not Tan Ye Peng. Not Chew Eng Han. Not Sharon Tan. Not John Lam.

The Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS) has come out saying that Imam Nalla Mohamed Abdul Jameel's remarks against Christians and Jews have no place in today's Singapore where all communities live in peace and harmony. MUIS said that Imam Nalla's comments caused confusion and suspicion among non-Muslims and had damaged the image of Islam and Muslims in Singapore. Even within the Singapore-Muslim community, it has caused some disquiet.

Imam Nalla Mohamed Abdul Jameel, 47, has been fined $4000 for promoting enmity between different groups on the grounds of religion.

According to lawyer Noor Marican, the Imam who is under police investigation and caused an online firestorm after he allegedly made inflammatory remarks against Christians and Jews has apologised for his words and actions. The Imam apologised at the Ministry of National Development building this morning (Friday; 31 March 2017) and did so in front of religious council members as well as members of the Indian Muslim association.

A local pastor, Daniel Tan Hoo Sun, from the Living Praise Presbyterian Church went missing at 7AM yesterday after heading off to work in his church in Bishan. He was wearing a long sleeved navy blue shirt, long black trousers, black leather shoes and was carrying his black office bag.

This is a video, from the 06th January 2017, of the imam at Jami' Chulia Mosque cursing Christians and Jews. This was during the Friday khuthbah. He did it again today. In summary, he said, "God Grant us victory over the disbelievers, God Grant us victory over the polytheists, God Grant us victory over the hypocrites and the people of envy, God Grant us victory over the Jews and the Christians, God Grant us victory over the Jews and the Christians ..." The last part was repeated twice as an emphasis. How is this acceptable in the context of Singapore?

I have nothing against Christians, but I have been hounded by members of the NUS christian society at least 4 times in the past fortnight, and I feel very harassed by them. When I say I am a free-thinker, they say something to the effect of "still, we'd like to share about God and the bible" and continue on for at least a good 15 minutes. One pair even replied in a condescending tone of "I hope God will make you become a believer" after being told I'm not interested.

The appeal hearing for City Harvest Church is ongoing today. CHC is accused of misappropriating S$50 million worth of church funds. S$24 million of this was spent on Sun Ho's singing career, which included lavish and wasteful spending on Sun's luxurious lifestyle in the US.
