How...?
Be mindful......public means.....ordinary people......with no
expertise or authority......
In America now they have debate on some laws about immigration
because some people say it is going to be creating a racist
environment and Latino-looking people can get targetted and can get
discomforted......
So in the Singapore context....."be more vigilant"...Im not sure
what that means.....
I suppose the intelligence agencies should be more vigilant and
infiltrate radical groups deeper and so on...
But what can ordinary people do?
For instance I share with you my experience and dilemma,
Near where I live, I saw a woman who wear Afghan-style
burqa.
I was shocked.
In SouthEastAsia, usually Muslim women wear hair covering, but
not face covering.
But lo and behold, I saw a woman with full burqa, with only a
slight eye opening.
I think she lives nearby. I see her a few times already.
I tell you the truth, I am a little bit scared. Because it means
that that family has deep level of fundamentalist beliefs.
There is a difference between a woman who wear tudung, and a
woman who wear burqa.
But I tell myself, I should calm down, and dont judge people
until like that.
This is just my experience I share with you.
