Watchdog probes allegation of discrimination, AsiaOne Singapore News

The anti-discrimination watchdog is looking into an allegation that a sales assistant was asked to leave an Isetan department store for wearing a tudung.

Part-timer Zafirah Edwards, who works at the Changi City Point Puma store, was seconded to the sport label's section in the Wisma Atria branch of Isetan for the day last Wednesday. But soon after arrival, she was allegedly told to leave because she had turned up wearing the Islamic headscarf.

As she was leaving, she was asked to go through a bag check.

In a Facebook post, Ms Zafirah's sister said this move equated to an "assumption that a person wearing a tudung... will most likely shoplift".

The entire Malay community heat up on social media, spewing out hate. Singaporean Chinese are used to all sorts of extrapolation against us.

Lux.. You got a competition from me

Nongjok, Bangkok. A Muslim girl said she face discrimination not to wear Hijab inside a Bhuddist Temple school.
While government offer all public schools free of charge, this Muslim girl are asking to wear Hijab inside a school which happened to be a Bhuddist Temple school. There are a lot of schools which are not Bhuddist temple.

Our government and private sector have allowed Muslims to wear hijab in all back office jobs. Below is school teachers in public schools. Even in customer facing jobs, Singaporean government allow Malay teachers to hijab.

Mathematics

Then this Muslim girl want to work in fashion store with a hijab on. When she was fired for her faith, the Malay community accuse Singaporean Chinese of racism.

Below is Malaysian Malay as MAS stewardess. Malaysian Malay even if they hijab, will never rant MAS racist for imposing non-hijab.

Malay walk into fashion store and work, refuse to take down head scarf, then accuse people of racism.

This is business decision. Given a choice, all business will get a sexy babes than hijab girls.

Malaysians should not talk much. They are a failed nation. If it not for Chinese with money still living in Malaysia, the country would turn into another Egypt.

Aren't Malayas the native Singaporeans.

Malay sold Singapore to British. Most Malay in SG are foreigners from Indonesia and elsewhere and hijab is not their traditional costumes.

Even Sultanate of Johor is from Makasar, Indonesia, nothing to do with Malaysia.

A bare shoulder is more traditional. The middle eastern Islamofascism makes hijab or even niqab fashionable today.

We are helping Malay to see their true culture.
