Cocoa Break

I had one of the worst debates with my mother recently with regards to Menstruation and Islam. One thing I realized from that argument, it is dangerous to talk about contrary beliefs to a person. Well unfortunately for me, I like to question when I don’t see obvious answers or when I see contradictory behavior. Like when women are not allowed to pray, fast or in other words not allowed to perform their religious duties and not allowed to even touch the Holy Qur’an but still must say grace before they eat or recite “Do’a” before they do anything with at least a simple “Bismillah” (In the name of God).

Anyway, let me begin with what I know about Islam and Menstruation.

The traditional Islamic interpretation of the Qur’an forbids intercourse, but not physical intimacy, during a woman’s menstrual period. During menstrual period, women are not required to perform prayers and fasting. Some scholars believe that women are not authorized to enter mosque during this period. And, after the period, Ghusl (a spiritual bath) is required to be able to perform prayers, fasting, and to enter the mosque – the same type of bath required of both men and women after sexual intercourse.

Heard this latest crap yet? This story is just like Tammy NYP, the Malaysia’s famous Anuar’s escapades and Bill Clinton’s Cigar story. These are juicy tabloids which Editors call news! I really pity these fellas for being shamed for their weakness.

I am not on anyone’s side but I feel that the public shouldn’t care s0 much about his sex life? They should instead care whether or not he has done his job well as a Health Minister. Everyone mocks his explanation about being set-up. The hotel that had the place set-up with spy cams are traitors and if you ask me. On top of that, I feel that the woman should be the one on trial. As she was the cause of him being caught on tape.

It is unfair for anyone to attack this man by saying that as a “Respected Figure”, a leader, he shall not err. But to err is human! Ain’t he one? Everyone else in this world are pretentious angels.

Let me ask you readers. Who do you prefer as a President? Bill Clinton or George Bush? Bill is sexually active while Bush loves firing missiles at rising nations with valuable natural resources. My vote will be for Bill Clinton if they are to stand for election at the same time. What’s yours?

So why didn’t the public attack the woman instead? Is it because she’s not a well known figure? Why the hell did she do it with him? Doesn’t she know that the Minister is married? Doesn’t she know that if he gets caught, he will be F**ked for real? I blame the woman for opening her legs wide open and tempting the Minister. As a man myself, I know how hard it is to say no when it is readily available in front of you.

As far as I know, women have better control of themselves when it comes to an intercourse. I may be wrong though. I am not a woman so I can’t tell by personal experience. Firstly, if you are a man, and you are mocking this minister for not being able to control himself, stop being a hypocrite. Even gays get easily turned on by a cute guy.

If the needle didn’t give way, the thread wouldn’t be able to go through. I would only attack the Minister if he raped the woman. As such, this is their personal affair and the public should stop pretending to be angels and let it go. It was mutual between them. The only people that have the right to get angry on this issue are their family members and spouses.

I am so happy say that as cocky as Singapore is said to be, the country is at least in GOOD hands. I stress on the good part because PM Lee Hsien Loong concluded that Section 377A is to stay. Yippee!

Ok, I know what you are thinking, of course I support his stand since I am a straight and I am a Moslem. But besides those facts about myself, Singapore can’t afford to have an increase of Homosexual relationships. Singapore is and aging population and need more babies!!! Its a fact! No new babies, means less population and if the idea spreads to the whole region, slowly the world will be wiped out!

If homosexuality is going to take over Singapore, the only way for Singapore to grow is by cloning. And that will be another issue in the future. I really wonder why some people just want to go against the course of nature. BANG BALLS! Yikes.

So to avoid all those that might be happening in the future, dear PM Lee Hsien Loong did the right thing and announced his conclusion in the most ethical manner.
