Muslims here should not rule out working in the upcoming integrated resorts where there are jobs, as long as it is not in their gaming sections, said Minister Yaacob Ibrahim on Sunday.

Firstly, Islam forbids Muslim from taking part or associating with any thing or activity that is haram. There is no exception in this issue. It is only halal if a person works in the Integrated Resorts (IR) under another company that is being hired by the IR itself. If possible, try to avoid what is haram. In this case, the person has no choice but to work in the IR because his company is being hired by the IR.

"Israel is a state, we have to recognise it as a state and we are recognising it as a state."
- Dr Yaacob, channelnewsasia.com-
Secondly, Dr Yaacob has no right to force Singaporean Muslims to recognise Israel as a state. Israel was formed illegally. Period.
If he has no intention to say what he has just said in the above-mentioned paragraphs, then there is not a need to apologise but we still need a clarification from him. If he said it with intention, we need both apology and clarification from him.
As a Member of Parliament (MP) who is in-charge of Muslim Affairs, he should be responsible with his public comments and suggestions. It is an irony to have a MP who is in-charge of Muslim Affairs blabbering un-Islamic comments and suggestions. He should not hold that port folio if he is not fit to lead Singapore Muslims. It would be more credible for such post to be held by a MP who is well versed in Islam and is a Muslim scholar himself. Other wise, the government is making a mockery out of herself.
The bottom line is, Dr Yaacob owes Singapore Muslims a sincere apology. C'mon Doctor, an apology is not that hard to say. Do not worry because we are very forgiving. Insha-allah.

Israel was formed illegally? Could you elaborate on that point please? Don't you think your statement here is overly simplistic?
What is your interpetation? I sure as a Muslim leader, Dr Y should have got his facts verified and supported. If one is right, it pain me to see another one goes wrong. Please stay united.
So you have invited Dr M to your blog to see how you wallop Dr Y to score points. Well done! : (
Hi Ahmad, You also want our great leader, Dr M to apologize to all Malaysian Muslims for the same? Our IR operates 40 years before S'pore's proposed IRs. Like many good Muslims here, they can also gamble within 500 steps in any towns, but they chose not to. It is very nice to know that you have never gamble.
The day when the voice of the brave, the courageous, the fearless is also the just, the righteous, the merciful... there will be peace in this world. Amin
ofcourse Israel was formed illegally. How un-intellectual can you be? Please do some reading. Ofcourse you can't find true answers in modern epoch history books because most of today's historical events are written by victors. Please do some readings!! Read some holy books! Fools don't change. They just evolve!
Hi,
This is the 1st time I wrote and read your blog. Little bit it would give me understanding on the Singapore political scenario althought I'm not Singaporean, I'm actually Malaysian.
I managed to find your blog through chedet.cc, which you have commented on it.
Based on your view to the current state which was happening surrounding us and your comment posted, I believe you have a moderate view.
By the way, I'm do agreed with your view on this issue, 1st of all we must know that Singapore have a very good working/business relationship with US which is undoubtly, thus every comments posted from Singaporean politician whether it comes from Chinese or Malay politician must going torwards in supporting US/Israel policies even if it is against their muslim believing. What a shame............
ermm..lets say you are right.
So, if I am a Muslim supplier of bakery stuff. And I have a contract to the IR, its wrong?
And let say, I studied with my parents money to higher education say in accounts.
One of the IR offered me a job.
(And the economy you know ... its going into the dumps for some time.)
I should not take it?
No pun intended..just curious how to go about this.
Pls enlighten me.
