The Mufti, Dr Nazirudin Nasir, wrote to me to express Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis)’s support for the Government’s deliberations on letting nurses wear the tudung. I replied to him, thanking Muis for their support.
On sensitive issues involving race and religion, our practice is to engage behind closed doors, so that we can all talk candidly and honestly, and understand the problem from different perspectives.
In Singapore we treat everyone equally, regardless of race, language or religion. We seek to build a national identity shared by all communities, while enabling every community to practise their own faith and way of life. Through mutual accommodation, compromise and trust building, we have succeeded in living harmoniously together.
As our society evolves, so too will social attitudes and norms. But any changes to the balance we have achieved must be carefully considered. Ultimately the changes must strengthen, not weaken, our racial and religious harmony.
I am grateful to Muis for their efforts to strengthen our social cohesion, and achieve progress for the Muslim society and all Singaporeans.
I have shared the Mufti’s letter and my reply here. – LHL

Mufti Negara, Dr Nazirudin Nasir, telah menulis kepada saya melahirkan sokongan terhadap perbincangan Pemerintah mengenai kemungkinan untuk membenarkan jururawat memakai tudung. Saya telah membalas surat beliau dan mengucapkan terima kasih atas sokongan Muis.
Bagi isu-isu sensitif yang menyentuh soal kaum dan agama, lazimnya, kita mengadakan perbincangan secara tertutup bersama anggota masyarakat dan juga pihak-pihak lain. Ini supaya kita semua boleh berkongsi pandangan dengan jujur dan terus terang, faham perspektif lain mengenai isu tersebut dan berbincang dari hati ke hati.
Di Singapura, kita berlaku adil kepada semua pihak tanpa mengira kaum, bahasa atau agama. Kita mahu membina identiti negara yang dikongsi oleh semua lapisan masyarakat, yang membolehkan setiap kaum mengamalkan cara hidup dan kepercayaan masing-masing. Dengan mengamalkan sikap bertolak ansur, saling menghormati dan mempercayai antara satu sama lain, kita telah berjaya menikmati kehidupan yang aman damai bersama.
Apabila negara kita berubah dan berkembang, begitu juga sikap dan norma masyarakat. Namun setiap perubahan yang kita lakukan mesti dipertimbangkan dengan teliti dan berhati-hati. Akhirnya, perubahan yang kita buat harus memperkukuh keharmonian kaum dan agama kita dan bukan melemahkannya.
Saya menghargai pelbagai usaha Muis untuk memperteguh perpaduan sosial kita demi mencapai kemajuan bagi masyarakat Islam setempat dan semua rakyat Singapura.

內觀體驗
Translation: @benkongenglish
.
據我所理解
內觀(Vipassana)大概的意思是向內觀察
體會真實的現象 藉以遠離無謂的痛苦
.
3/10傍晚到3/21早晨
十天有餘的時間
我參加台灣內觀中心舉辦的十日內觀課程
說閉關也不是 頂多部份地類似閉關吧
知識和身心層面都有所收穫
每一天都對自己和環境有觀察和體會
一時之間說不完整 說不詳細
請給我一點時間內化
煮泡出精華
再謙遜地緩緩斟出一盞體悟
請您品一品 合不合您的口味
.
我說的是我說的 內觀老師說的是他的
如果您願意
我很推薦您逕自上網報名免費的十日課程
人人都能親身感受 無關身份 性別 種族 信仰
.
To my knowledge, vipassana is about observing the inner layer of ourselves.
Observing the truth to stay away from unnecessary pain
.
From the evening on March 10th to the morning on March 21st.
I joined the Vipassana course offered by Taiwan Vipassana Centre.
I didn’t entirely go into a retreat. Partially maybe.
My mind and spirit were both enriched by this experience.
I observe and experience something new about the surrounding and myself everyday.
I can’t put it into coherent words in this instance.
Give me some time to digest it and I’ll present you the essence of it and humbly hope you will have a taste and reflection on it.
.
What I said is mine and what the instructor said is his
If you are willing,
I sincerely recommend you to enrol in this free 10-day course and try it yourself.
Everyone can have this experience, regardless of identity, gender, race and religion.

幸福之源不在外部的事物中,幸福源於我們自身// True Happiness comes from within.
《 有沒有人想試試看翻譯這個?哈哈》
Over the past few months, I’ve spent much time evaluating theology and the core foundation of happiness. It’s been the most rewarding and humbling experience to deconstruct and rebuild my individualism and inner-conscience.
Pure happiness comes from one's inner-self, confidence, and a healthy balance of knowledge and comfort with facing the unknown. For thousands of years, humans have used fabricated beliefs, folklore, and religion to have a spiritual, mental, and moral compass; but most commonly to provide our minds to cope with the unknown. Through these methods, people for centuries have had outlets and ways to look past the fear of the unknown and the comfort of hope for the future. This is the beauty of religion and folklore; it’s how societies strive together and how the world and humankind have cultivated charity, patience, and love.
My entire life, I’ve tried my best to keep a positive attitude and an optimistic mentality regardless of what challenges I’m facing. I’ve used my foundational beliefs as a crutch for my moral compass and course for my pursuit to find joy. After moving abroad and seeing the world from a different perspective, I’ve realized that humanity has more than one path to happiness. Instead, there is an infinite number of possibilities and methods. But as I’ve observed from many different cultures, people and societies, I’ve realized that happiness comes solely from oneself.
Outside sources can influence emotions, but in the end, it’s determined by yourself. Don’t rely on others or religions for peace and happiness, but instead rely on yourself.
It may be cheesy to post a picture of me drinking water while watching the sunset, but it’s more symbolic than literal. I’ve found my new purpose and identity and have shed away my fabricated foundation—no more superficial happiness and conscience decisions from societal gaslighting, manipulation, and cultural-based comfort. I’m drinking water and have put down the kool-aid and can look into the sunset with more substantial knowledge and happiness of the future.
Find yourself, and be yourself. Find your happiness, and become your happiness.

What is really being Malaysian all about to you?
Inspired by Tunku Abdul Rahman and his speech during Malaysia's independence.
Culture does not define your identity, it just strengthens it.
You aren't Malaysian because of your culture, you are Malaysian because of your respect, loyalty and commitment the nation and its people.
Selamat Hari Merdeka dan Selamat Hari Malaysia.
======================================
What is being Malaysian all about?
It's not just the clothing we wear
or the food we eat.
It's not just the festivals we share,
nor the different races we meet.
It's not the just the friendliness for each other,
or the traffic we go through.
It's not the lingo we mutter,
or asking the obvious like
"Eh shooting video ah?"
No la, I'm doing kung fu.
You see being Malaysian is not just the way
we communicate or the culture we cultivate.
Being Malaysian is :
Kepercayaan Kepada Tuhan
Kesetiaan Kepada Raja dan Negara
Keluhuran Perlembagaan
Kedaulatan Undang-undang
Kesopnan dan kesusilaan
It is upholding the promises and oaths we give to
God, our country and to each other.
It is the pride and respect we give,
casting aside religion, way of life and colour.
To be united under the jalur Gemilang.
Through the ups and downs and to say
I am proud of my country.
I am proud of Malaysia.
And that,
is Being Malaysian.
==================================
Directors Notes :
Every aspect of this film has a symbolic meaning.
1. The speech/poem itself is a tribute to Tunku Abdul Rahman and his fight for Malaysia's independence.
2. The film itself is meant to look old as to signify the ideas have been there long ago.
3. The clothing is modern as to bring a contrast and also that these ideas are still very much applicable now.
4. If you listen carefully you can hear a crowd in the background which is meant to signify the masses.
