Hindu Priest Suffers Serious Religious Assault in Singapore

last SG · 2009-07-21T23:34:32+00:00

i understand your point while these are very also hard to sayif we look from both sides there may be different story. an example: a "mainstream" religion is...

yes each religion has their own set of rules, but let me also say that if a particular religion is allowed to be practiced in singapore, it must also accept the singapore system and practices and in this case the saf.

and if a particular rule is of importance, the saf will accomodate that particular religion's request such as muslims having friday prayers, being served halal food, sikhs being allowed to wear their turbans etc.

so im afraid your theory of the saf have got no case just because the priests rules are in black and white does not stand.

Bro, there are rules a priest have to follow. it is also part of religious doctrines , the same way muslims and sikhs have.. . Dont u get it into yr head?

You are the only odd one out. Even the certified nutcases who had stayed before in IMH did their NS properly in my unit. The only pre-requisite for the nutcases to serve is to have their meds on time and on target, else they go amok.

If the Hindu priest can eat sanctified dried rations which by right, should last for a whole week, then he could jolly well prepped the rations way ahead of time. Else, why bother to serve the national service in the army? Second, before enlistment(i.e at CMPB), Madana should have enquired as to whether he should be transfered to another service like Police or SCDF due to his religious practices.

How you know that he never enquire on whether he can serve police or scdf?

xtreyier SG

ok good....

u try to ask all the muslim guys in the army to eat pork???

Thanks you agree.

Pork? hey, it aint the only protein, dig it? There's plenty of other sustenance that my muslim brothers -in - arms can forage for in an outright conflict of battles that the priest cannot find unless 'consecreted and prepared within religious sacred precients.

Besides the boy did not claim he cannot carry guns, he finished his BMT too.

Thanks you agree.

I ggolged up this priest thing and it seems that Brahmins adhere to Dharma

Brahmins have become warriors and eventually restored law and order [{citation needed)] . Brahmins according to Dharma should assume a ruling position because they are the law-makers and preservers of Dharma [{citation needed)] . However, whenever there have been incidents in the history, where the rulers have failed to live up to Dharma, Brahmins have assume power to restore proper law and order

Dharma also refers to the teachings and doctrines of the founders of these traditions, such as those of Gautama Buddha and Mahavira. In traditional Hindu society with its caste structure, Dharma constituted the religious and moral doctrine of the rights and duties of each individual. (see dharmasastra). Dharma in its universal meaning shares much in common with the way of Tao or Taoism.

glad the general realized the tearing up of our constitution and secularism in time and stopped such nonsense!

By all means, go ahead and practise one's religion, BUT NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF OUR OTHER BOYS EFFORTS!!!!!

NEVER, EVER ATTEMPT TO IMPOSE ONE'S RELIGION FOR SPECIAL PRIVILEDGES IN OUR SECULAR SOCIETY, NO MATTER IN WHAT FORM OR HOW SIMPLE IT MAY BE, IN SOMETHING AS PRECIOUS AS DURING THE LEARNING AND TRAINING OF DEFENSE OF OUR NATION - MADE UP OF OUR FAMILIES, RELATIVES AND FRIENDS WHOM WE ARE ALL INTER-CONNECTED IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE!

We are all that there are to protect ourselves. Everyone counts......

His is not a privilege u idiot. its a requirement.He didnt ask for 10 course banquet

The food he asked for is Prasadham, a kind of simple food that is not better than what SAF cookhouse vegetarian side offer. Even normal vegetarian hindus will not eat this everyday. its only offered in temples and its the food of the priests . Here are the pics:

Ya it is a very simple theory which all the SAF supporters here refuse to acknowledge and come out with all kinds of arguments to defend the SAF.

I won't be suprise that these people are superiors in the army who bully their subordinates and are trying to defend their own kind.

Buddha did not advocate the caste system in India during that era. In fact he pointed out that by birth, one is not a brahmin or an outcaste, by deeds is one a brahmin and an outcaste. how true.

the caste system is entirely discriminatory system.

The problem with SAF regular ( not the org) is excessive paranoia and ignorance. As usual SAF is run by people, the same sucky people u find else where in the workforce. Their paranoia blinds them from seeing truth to the point that everything becomes questionable to them. I afraid that such mentality during war , the enemies can deceive the SAF ( which has no war expereince) by manipulating it and then finally defeat them in their own ground. I am very sorry , but this is one of the things said in the Art of War - Deception using paranoia. Time and again it has been used in the world wars and before it to great effectiveness...

18. All warfare is based on deception.

19. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable;
when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we
are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away;
when far away, we must make him believe we are near.

20. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder,
and crush him.

Yes but history gets distorted over time.

MAYBE THIS BOY IS TRUE WARRIOR.

its his religion. this is in sg not india, although india has abolished the caste system, it is still discriminatory till this day and age. 70% of india are still rural, poor and uneducated.

I do have a feeling they are not really SAF supporters but some jealous NSFs or NSMen or possibly some racists trying to stir up shit...

Arent u contradicting yrself idiot. Isn't it happening all around u? look at our society...rich getting richer and poor getting poorer . Some have privileges , some dont. Some can even say "get out of my elite faces". why cant this boy get what he want... when a boy wants to practice his faith, u talk b&llshit. Where is yr interconnecting theory?.Why does it only apply to SAF and not other areas of society,, Sore loser...just talking things when its favourable to do so. Hypocrite! So stupid argument just confirms the Jekyll and hyde nature of singaporeans

Short Ninja SG

Give him his food request feed him so he could serve his 2 years.As for his hairstyle 'Sikha' I am not too sure about that.

the Bear SG

actually, people look at the rights but forget the responsibilities...

"regardless of race, language or religion.."

they have a right to practice.. no matter what colour, creed or beliefs...

however, they also have the responsibility to serve out their duties "regardless of race, language or religion"

now the armed forces are not your holiday camp although it's fast becoming like one... and it's not as if the armed forces didn't already bend over backwards for him.. they have...

there is a limit..

what next? like it is said.. brahmin, ksatriyas, vasiyas, sudras, pariahs... THEY DO NOT MATTER because "regardless of race, language or religion" everyone is treated equally...

or is the TS just trying to reinstall the caste system?

he cannot fireman-lift his buddy who is from an untouchable caste?

he cannot go into the camp because.. he's not from the warrior caste?

regardless of race, language or religion... all will have to serve...

RaTtY8l SG

he jus wants his meals to be delivered from the temple, jus like muslim eating halal food and keep his turf of hair, jus like sikh keeping their turban.

about responsibilities part, he is still serving his ns.

his superior forced him to eat the food from cookhouse

what will happen if u forced a muslim to eat non-halal food?

his superior also wan him to cut off his sihka.

wat will happen if u ask a sihk not to wear turban?

why do u guys keep thinging he is chao keng?
