all succumb to a minority number of people in the group's peer pressure influence =D

i mean, muslims who don't fast, since this is the fasting month...i'm not being racist here, let me say this...

i was at one ITE one day, and i saw this group of malays, guys and girls, one of the guys took out some coin and bought a packet of drinks from the vending machine and passed it to his gf who started drinking it...den, the same guy lit up a cigarette and proceeded to the toilet for a puff...and when he came out, his gf passed him the drink and he also took a sip...

seeing this, 2 more malay guys followed and bought themselves a packet of drink...

i know that toddlers, pregnant ladies and ppl who are sick are allowed to skip fasting, not young teenagers who are well enough to attend school and smoke...

also, i noticed that if guys wanted to skip fasting, they are more afraid to let others see it, they do it discreetly...whereas the girls do it openly...

My malay friends also like that, it's quite common la. Laughing

Schwing SG

yes, it's common, but what i'm curious about is how come the girls do it more openly then the guys...

i remembered once during BMT, one of my malay platoon mate finished a char siew bao despite us telling him it was pork...

renorenal SG

Hmmm... nope so far all my Malay friends don't do that...

When I eat, I don't eat in front of them...

polarsnake SG

If the girls have menses they are allowed to do so

browniebaobao SG

not all are so disciplined to fast de.

but in my ite, one lecturer ever told the muslim stall holder not to sell food to muslims, coz they were supposed to be fasting. my muslim classmates then gathered around during break time and went to library to rest, stay away from canteen.

hisoka SG

wah your lecturer so extra one arh? i thought singapore got religious freedom?

stellazio SG

freak la...not many are as holy as you think.. Laughing

sinicker SG

harloe guys, i'm a Muslim here.. and i'm fasting despite having a flu since yday.

it's all a matter of discipline. what you do now is up to you. rape, murder, not fasting. just answer for it in your afterlife. Very Happy

Some modern malays do eat, drink, gamble, smoke 365 days a year. Some even drink 'tiger' during lunch time. Normal mah. When u hungry, ask yourself, will your god come down hand you food? No rite? So........no big deal for a muslim to eat during fasting months. Even my malay colleagues also told me they don't really follow the rules anymore.

Shocked

sinicker SG

yes true. just answer in their afterlife.

browniebaobao SG

he's not my lecturer la.. but he's very into his religion.

Quinsy SG

Yeah, I saw those teenagers smoking.

I heard that it's ok to eat non halal food if you don't know that it's non halal. LOL.

dragg SG

they are just humans like us.

i have heard and known people who are borne in catholic families but do not believe in GOD.

so they just go through the motion.

sinicker SG

yes. and again i say, just answer for what you've done in your afterlife. Smile

FireIce SG

during my school days i seen alot
guang ming zheng da eat.....
i saw more guys than girls doing this though.....

SMAPLionHeart SG

I saw a few buying toto and 4d just now

fudgester SG

Well, I'm fasting.

Yes, I am disturbed by those who aren't fasting when they ought to. Even if they don't have to fast (illness, menses, etc) they are still expected to eat and drink discreetly. When they do it openly, they show a total lack of respect to those who fast.

That said, it's not my place to judge them for their actions. They'll have to answer to God Almighty for their actions, not me. They live their life their way, and I live my life my way.

Manager433 SG

Maybe you should vist the Kranji Turf Club on racing days. Count the number of malays in there betting horse.
