Mat thinks the world evolve around Islam

[MarrickG]

Another fucker of the day. He thinks the world evolve around Islam.

So, if 80% of Singaporeans are not Muslim, how would you feel if a developer builds a cluster of housing in Singapore with Buddhism style design?

How can Indon's demand for all product to be halal okay? Dun you know that Sikh are actually not allowed to consume Halal food as their religion forbids it? How would you feel if your friend invite you to buffet and the food is not halal or worse one of the dish is pork? offended? But had you ever invited a Sikh, Hindu or Buddhist to your buffet and one of the dish has beef? Talking about sensitivity.

Why Indonesia had to introduce halal rules

I WOULD like to give my opinion on Wednesday's commentary, 'Indonesia's trend against religious integration'.

To me, rising demand for more Islamic products is just a logical consequence of Indonesia being the world's most populous Muslim-majority country.

Looking at it from a business perspective, if Islamic-style housing estates are mushrooming in Indonesian cities, it is simply because there is demand for them.

And for business communities, it is only logical to appeal to the interests of their major customers. In this case, it is easier to target�around 80 per cent of Indonesia's Muslim population to take advantage of economies of scale.

Second,�we can look at it from the role of government as the regulating body to serve the public interest.

Now that the trend is moving to demand for halal qualification for every product that enters the Indonesian market, it is only right for the government to protect the interests of the public as consumers. The same logic applied when European countries and the United States�required China-made toys to be tested and to pass health-safety tests.

In this case, it is the halal or non-halal status of the products that matters. I do not believe this will affect the other communities in Indonesia as�they will still have�a choice of halal and non-halal products. Muslims will have better assurance and perhaps broader choices too, since some products that are currently in doubt may pass halal qualification for them to consume.

Totally agree...they are getting overboard but wat to do...their mass production of their kind is going uncontrolled....I say Hitler style should be done here

The world does not revolve around Islam but region that Singapore is located in definitely does.

It would be prudent for Singaporeans to respect the ways of the Islamic world for the simple reason that they are surrounded by 250 million muslims.

Singapore may be 80% non muslim but to tout this figure is "frog-in-the-well" mentality at its best! Singapore does not exist in isolation. It has to co-exist with its neighbours who happen to be muslim nations.

If Malaysia shuts off the water and Indonesia shuts off the gas, Singapore is screwed.:oIo:

I would advise the chinkies in Singapore to subject themselves to a reality check. China is not going to save your ass if the muslims start their rape and pillage.

I have to agree with the author on marketing prospective. Having Halal certification will give a leading edge in product positioning when Indonesia is concern. Afterall it is not easy to get the cert.

Having said that, does anyone know if any toy makers uses pig parts to make toys? Like pork lard for lubrication for gear or vaseline for virgina?

Agree that Singapore does not exist in isolation but it does not mean that non-Muslim who lives in those country does not have rights to live life their own way. The word is 'co-exist', and it take 2 hands to clap.

To the Muslims, anyone who does not believe in Islam is an infidel so Singapore can become their Kawan only if Singapore become an islamic state. Take Israel for example, do you think the Arabs, Jordanians, Iranians......are fighting Israel for their Palestinians brothers? They are just fighting infidels in their region.

If Israel can survive, so can Singapore - by having allies who have vested interest in the country, and we do have a few within and outside this region. We are befriending China for economic reasons, not security. China is not going to come to you, you have to go to them and show them what we can offer, no matter how little it can be.

You can hate PRCs, call them names but you cannot ignore them because they are going to become bigger than USA and you can't ignore Americans. Have a reality check. Forget about what the western media said about China. Get out of your well, go to China and take a look yourself.

What's the fuss about? It's their country not ours.

All I have seen in China is borrowed or pirated Western technology.

Even their space program has been conjured up with obsolete Russian technology from the Soviet era.

The only way China can influence the rest of the world is if they all fart at the same time. They have the numbers but they don't have the brains, the will and the national cohesion needed to become a great nation.

Nice little speech you made there but unfortunately, you have forgotten that the muslims outnumber the chinks in the region by a long shot. 250 million muslims vs 2 million pseudo sinkie chinamen!???

Co-existence is only required when the odds are even. :p

Not true, just take a look at the middle east. The Muslims there been fighting a losing battle against the Israelis for almost half a century now, despite the fact the Muslims have overwhelming numbers there, they're still getting bomb back to the stone age.

Your logic would hold true if 1 Jew = 1 sinkie chinaman. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The Jews are in a league of their own. http://www.jinfo.org/Nobel_Prizes.html

You also forget that the Jews control the USA. When the Arabs take on the Jews, they're not just fighting Israel. They're fighting the military might of the USA.

 

[scroobal]

It just amazes me that people can grow up in a region and have no clue about geo-politics. I am also amazed that despite advent of news technology, readily availability of books and TV, they actually think that Jews are fighting the war all by themselves.

However you got to give credit to the Chinese. At the end of the day, they will assume Muslim names, speak the lingo, build, distribute and sell Halal products and then send their kids to 1st world for their Uni studies. Those who can't afford it will send their kids to Singapore.

The ones I refer to are the enlightened Chinese who know that they can't rely on PRC for anything. Its the Singapore Chinese that are still wondering if Suzhou was an anamoly and why PRC jailed a Singaporean for spying.

Before you jump the gun maybe you should think about how Japan also borrowed & reverse-engineered technology from the west to be what they are now

I have a lot of respect for the Japs. When they set their minds to it, they are single minded and united in their quests. That's the reason why they have beaten the shit out of the Chinese on numerous occasions. :p

The Japs have the ability to reverse engineer and IMPROVE on a design and then incorporate their unique ability to mass produce quality products.

All the Chinese are able to do is make cheap and inferior imitations.

That's what the the rag-head camel jockeys like to give themselves as an excuse. The fact of the matter is they just can't beat the Israelis. Sure the US is supporting them, but only in terms of military equipment and arms. But so a lot of other countries, nothing special there. There are no US troops in Israel helping them fight the war. It's just hard to fight a modern war when you're still riding around on camels and need to stop to pray five times a day.
