Another racist neighbour spotted again.

Freedom of worship is a right enshrined in the constitution. We have been praying under the staircase at the capark of Regency Park Condominium for many years. We understand that it is the common property of the estate and we have kept the place clean and neat and it does not obstruct any human movement nor does it pose a safety hazard to anyone. However, the condo manager, Ms Jennifer Peh from Saville property management pte Ltd managing agent has thrown our praying carpets and told us to pray outside the permises.

I was passing a void deck when I saw that rare sight - of a Muslim praying at a void deck with the bare essentials; just himself. No songkok. No sejadah (prayer mat). No "proper" clothing. I guess the man must have missed the congregation but nonetheless performed the early afternoon prayer by himself. I guess again that he must be hard-pressed for time. No matter under what condition, it is good to know that he makes time to give thanks to the Almighty.

I just got a new Indonesian Muslim maid, she previously worked in Saudi. I just realized that she had been praying every night (bumped into it last night), don’t know if she prays at other times too. I have no major issue with her praying, but when she prays she is in the full head-to-toe gear, with only eyes visible. I don’t want my girl or mother to get a fright if they see her praying in that gear. Do you think it will be unreasonable for me to ask her not to wear that gear if she insists on praying?

This is a guide for our Singaporean Muslim brothers and sister to find the Musollah at Big Box Jurong East. Big Box is the place where Singaporeans can buy daily groceries at much cheaper prices. It is a new and big place so I hope this will help our fellow Singaporeans.
