The biggest news announced at last night’s National Day Rally was that nurses will be allowed to wear a tudung with their uniforms, starting this November. What took them so long to announce this? Since April this year, they were already saying that they will look into this. Did they …

After so many years of talk only no action, are they finally going to do take real action?

If we are indeed serious about combating religious extremism and “nurturing” a multi cultural society, we should begin by allowing people to practice their religion freely, all the while keeping in mind our non religious neighbours instead of suppression that will give rise to all sorts of doubts and conspiracy theories. It will also compel religious minorities into the arms of religious extremists, seeking to convince them on the “evils” of a secular society.

PAP East Coast candidate Jessica Tan, aka upside-down mask woman, embarrassed herself once again when during a house visit, she failed to understand why the makcik declined to take a photo with her when she was not wearing a Tudung. Insisting on a photo, she said “No need la pretty already!” Xia suay.

A netizen sent a link to a Facebook post about a man who allegedly spat on a Muslim woman wearing a hijab.

The fake impersonator page, Salleh Marican For President, and Mothership.sg have come under fire from the presidential hopeful's team after the former published remarks about the hijab under his name without authorization, while the former wrongly attributed those same comments to him.

Whoever wrote the words "terrorist" on the murals of the unfinished MRT Station at Marine Parade over the picture of a woman in Hijab certainly needs to have his head examined. Such blatant act of anti-Muslim sentiment has no place in a multi racial and multi-religious Singapore. The police are already investigating this vile act of vandalism. LTA indicated that the contractor for the MRT station made a police report on Friday afternoon, soon after this was spotted. It is believed that the word was scrawled on a piece of paper with an adhesive back and stuck on the hijab area.

Mr Faisal Manap, do you know why the attire our men and women in the SAF and Police and Nursing is called a uniform? It's because it is meant to be UNIFORM, to show that regardless of religion, language or race, these personnel strive to be equal and uphold the pledge to defend all Singaporeans, not just their own race or religion. I hope Mr Faisal can truly be an MP for all Singaporeans instead of just the malay community. I hope you can see how your constant raising of such sensitive issues may cause others outside the malay community to feel uneasy. You are an elected MP, you have the right to raise any issue in Parliament, I hope you use your power with responsibility and help move Singapore forward, not just keep it exclusive for our malay community.

Unbelievable. Just got rejected from a part time position (Kids Club Assistant) at Shangri La Singapore because of my hijab. "I'm sorry we cannot employ you if you wear that thing on your head, we have a strict grooming code, so sorry about it. We went through the job scope (taking care of young children.. bringing them for games, lunch and dinner), my availability suited the time periuodrequired by the company - everything was okay except for the fact that I cover myself. Someone explain to me how this "thing on my head" would in any way prevent me from carrying out the job I was assigned to as well as anyone else without a hijab.

I was discriminated because I was wearing a hijab, I like to share my unfortunate experience with you. I went for an interview today at one of the modern montessori preschool in Kovan and my interview went well until my interviewer Mdm Sheela, Director of MMI told me.. "Since you are wearing the hijab if you start working here you have to wear a bandanna to cover your just your hair...Because we have many incidents where chinese parents are afraid to handover their kids to a staff who is wearing hijab. kids get scared too."
