of AWARE & Homosexuality....

I have heard of AWARE since i was a child - yes i started reading malay papers in primary 2 and read english since primary 3/4?

I do come across that organization once in a while but nothing momentous like what we have recently.

As per to my understanding, AWARE is supposed to be an organization which helps women - all kinds of women to get on with their life, from troubled life to a more better life. It helps a woman to be on her feet.

In a way, it is how Islam does it (dont compare Taliban and Afghanistan. If non-muslim wishes to know how Islam treats woman - go google this chapter - An-Nisaa, it's the chapter on Women)

It takes years to understand what it says and it must not be read literally, it has to be compared to a life of woman, to be in their shoes and to think thru and again and again until the meaning is fully understood and comprehended.

In other words, to be in their hearts.

Back to topic, what irks me most was that there was an opinion by one the new ex-new exco going by the surname of Ang ( i cant remember was it sally or watever or was she the one who said shut up and sit down) seems to mention something about wanting to question the "Syariah Law". It was in the New Paper on Page 3 towards the end of the article and i cant remember when but this is what i remember the most.

Now Syariah Law is not a man made law. Syariah Law is taken from the Al Quran. It is the commandmend of the Allah and all muslim men and women bow before them.

To question that Law is to question the need for Islam in the first place.

That law cannot be questioned and in fact the muslims is Singapore aside from having to obey the Law of the country, we also have to obey the Syariah Law. Currently it seems that marriages are part of the Syariah Law. As Singapore is a secular country, we do not practise cutting of hands for stealing, getting caned a 100 lashes for adultery or being stoned to death for homosexuals. These are term as "barbaric".

But this is the fact of it.

That is why we have ROM (registry of Marriages) and ROMM (registry of muslim marriages) the only portion that differentiates between a Muslim marriage and a non-muslim marriage is the Syariah Law. the requirement of it.

Aside from that, we are free to do what we want - in fact too free that we dont need to ROMM before giving birth (yes it has happens and its seems to be normal)

Now this is the ladies who AWARE is helping - single parents.

It could have been avoided if the ladies didnt fall for the men's trap and yes "keep your legs crossed at all times" to put it delicately.

Aside from this, there is also homosexuality. AWARE sees this is a neutral term as in they do not encourage it but they didnt condone it. This is because they do not believe in discriminating.

What came out was that the ex new exco put it in such a way that AWARE is promoting it. That homosexuality seems to be worse than death itself! Oh come on with good technology advancement and kiasuism at work, children nowadays are preaching more than ABCs to parents!

They are ferocious readers!

Now, do you really think that the children are stupid not to understand between what is right or wrong?

I congratulate this ladies for instilling fears on these children. I wish i had posed a question to them WHAT HAPPEN IF YOUR CHILDREN ARE HOMO! WOULD YOU PRESSURE THEM LIKE HOW YOU DID TO OTHER KIDS? VIEWING THEM AS DIRTY INSOLENT CREATURES WHO REFUSE TO BOW TO THE RIGHT WAY? WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOUR WAY IS RIGHT?

Each individual is created differently, each one of us is special and has a place in heaven whatever our intentions in life are.

By judging, you are not merely judging the children, you are judging the parents, the society the people at school or whoever else is involved in that child's life..have you ever think of that?

Yes you can say it is wrong - it is your every right to right a wrong but what if disrupts a person life? causing hiim misery and depression each night?

I too have a tale to share...

I was growing up..from kindergarden to higher education, i never knew of good friends...life is damn miserable..

Why? i am a softie..yes it shows, and the name calling and the bullying...it all hurts deep inside but infront of my parents i dont really show...coz i hate to show it...they would never understand..coz its my life. At 27 and still single, why? do you really think after years of name calling is there any one out there who still wants me? u got to be kidding!

It is only when i learnt of individuals who suffers the same fate as me that we started sharing and learning experiences on how to handle a situation that we got better.

Isnt that what AWARE is about?

To push an individual to his highest potential, to ease the pain and hurt that he went thru in life by showing compassion by not discriminating, by encouraging him to move on with life and know that what it is now has a blessing in return.

I need not look for any one as an example. My life is a story on its own and what i went thru it, what came out of it, only I alone can understand - not my parents, not my school and not anyone else who tries to rule.

Therefore i am thankful, that AWARE is back to good hands..and hopefully they will continue their good work.
