MM Lee: I stand corrected



05:56 AM Mar 08, 2011SINGAPORE - Some two months after his statements - which were contained in the new book Hard Truths to Keep Singapore Going - evoked strong reactions from the Muslim community here, Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew acknowledged yesterday in a press statement that his view that it was harder to integrate Muslims was "out of date".

Mr Lee's comments came after the issue of Muslim integration received an airing in Parliament yesterday.

Pointing out that Hard Truths was "based on 32 interviews over a period of two years", Mr Lee said: "I made this one comment on the Muslims integrating with other communities probably two or three years ago. Ministers and MPs, both Malay and non-Malay, have since told me that Singapore Malays have indeed made special efforts to integrate with the other communities, especially since 9/11, and that my call is out of date.

"I stand corrected. I hope that this trend will continue in the future."

Yesterday, five MPs raised the issue of integration of Muslims in Parliament during the debate on the expenditure of the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports.

Reiterating that integration "is a continuous process", Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Yaacob Ibrahim told the House: "Progress by all communities, including Malay-Muslims, has been good. There will occasionally be hiccups and sometimes feelings are hurt when perspectives differ on sensitive issues that we hold dear. But we should not let such hiccups hold us back."

Dr Yaacob noted that the Malay-Muslim community had "redoubled outreach efforts" following the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre in New York on Sept 11, 2001, to "forge even stronger ties with fellow communities".

For instance, the mosques hosted inter-faith dialogues. Said Dr Yaacob: "These sessions have helped build understanding and respect among various religious communities. As a result, in my considered view, today our integration and mutual confidence between races and religions is stronger, more resilient and more mature than it was a decade ago, before 9/11."

Dr Yaacob added: "In pursuing integration, we reaffirm our Singaporean Muslim identity which encapsulates our way of life, and our aspirations to be open, forward-looking and successful community."

Hard Truths is published by Singapore Press Holdings (SPH). In the book, when asked to assess the progress of multi-racialism here, Mr Lee said: "I think we were progressing very nicely until the surge of Islam came, and if you asked me for my observations, the other communities have easier integration - friends, intermarriages and so on, Indians with Chinese, Chinese with Indians - than Muslims.

"I would say, today, we can integrate all religions and races except Islam." He added: "I think the Muslims socially do not cause any trouble, but they are distinct and separate."

Asked what Muslims could do to integrate, Mr Lee was also quoted in the book saying: "Be less strict on Islamic observances and say: 'Okay, I'll eat with you'.''

老李怕了回教势力

本地马来回教社群已努力融入社会
李资政：希望这趋势能持续下去

内阁资政李光耀指出，本地马来回教社群已努力融入社会，并希望这样的趋势能持续下去。

当时所发呼吁已过时  他昨晚发表声明说，他在新书《李光耀：新加坡赖以生存的硬道理》里，在两年里接受记者的32小时的访谈，其中就回教徒与其他社群融合的谈话，是在两三年前说的。  

李资政说：“马来和非马来的部长与议员后来告诉我，新加坡马来人确已特别努力融入其他社群，尤其在九一一事件以后，而我所发出的呼吁已经过时。”  他也表示修正自己的论点，并希望马来人努力同其他社群融入的趋势，会继续下去。  

主管回教事务的环境及水源部长雅国博士和多名马来议员昨天在国会发言时，都谈到回教徒融入的课题。李资政当时在国会，听到他们的演讲，不过并没有当场发言。  雅国表示，马来回教社群自九一一事件以来已进一步促进与其他族群的联系，而李显龙总理已为此表达谢意与支持。  

李资政在一月出版的新书《硬道理》中表示，随着回教近年的冒起，回教徒是所有宗教和种族社群当中，唯一难以融入新加坡社会的社群。他也说，回教徒不应那么严格遵守回教教义，例如应同其他族群同桌共餐，以更好地融入新加坡的大环境。

李资政的这番言论引起好些回教徒的不满。李总理过后对此表示，本地回教徒社群融入社会的程度，并未因回教徒更突出本身的宗教信仰而受阻。他也强调，以他本身这些年来同马来回教社群的接触，在这方面所形成的观点同李资政有所不同。
  
我国种族宗教融合比九一一前更强

就算是事实，政治上不正确的“硬道理”，还是不能说/写出来的。

老李应该要有点敏感度。。。。

这家伙的鞋擦得好啊！
大老板说错话，小老板出来灭火了。他只得放肆说：他和老家伙不一样了！
这真是破天荒的大事咯！

擦鞋家伙其实就是看到这一点，他马上就顺着小老板那边擦去。

擦鞋的特性就是擦鞋的特性！
