Food for Thought

Just now, a colleague actually told me she had bought a box of non-halal candies for a Muslim colleague as a farewell gift!!! I couldn't believe it! Such insensitivity!!! And she actually said it was ok!!! But thankfully, after I gave her a piece of my mind, she changed her mind.

 

In a multi-racial country like Singapore, we have to exercise cultural and religious sensitivity. We cannot afford to be insensitive! And Chinese especially cannot afford to be insensitive, because we are the majority in Singapore and Muslims (Malays) are the minority. Otherwise, we may disintegrate as a society.

Malays (Muslims)

I had a very pleasant encounter with a Malay (Muslim) guy just now.:) He was so easy-going and so soft-spoken.:) I know that Malays (Muslims) are generally easy-going, and so that pleasant encounter didn't come as a surprise.:) In fact, Malays are more easy-going than Chinese. (At least that's true in my country.)
