One of the concern that i have while talking to different people from different country/culture background is how society shapes our way of thinking. All right.... don't need a genius to figure that one out, but surprisingly although if someone says that 'their mind have not been brainwashed into having a specific set of thinking/rules/guidelines', the very fact that they are believing that shows that their minds have been influence by what they have lived, grew up, absorbed around them. Environment , the country the social system in which humans are living, the things that you read, what you watch, what you eat....they do groom how we perceive. It's false to think that we are not 'being brainwash' this very moment into thinking any specific manner. Weather it may be in politics, social gatherings, people, society or religion.
Now having said that, I notice that Singaporeans are kinda living in an enclose shell. Their environment is sheltered, spoiled, and information projected to them are greatly censored, mainstream media, imported goods, money & status drives the country and the youth is all about partying hard. Singaporean need to liberate their way of thinking and start thinking for themselves. It amazes me how little the non-Muslims know about Muslims there, I mean are we living in a multicultural society where Islam was the main religion of the land?? I'm just shock and sad. I know westerners in other country who would know a lot more about Islam than people do in Singapore!! :)

"We all need to Ask ourself what are you doing right now? why are you doing it? What's the meaning behind it? Is what you are reading true? is what you are watching true?
Is any answer or opinion from anyone the absolute truth? what makes us follow a rule? what makes us believe (or not) in a religion? How can we find real information?"

It may seem some rambling thoughts, ridicules or even taboo to many to be questioning our surrounding environment, society and religion but our objective is to revive the mind of humans and make them questions what they are doing. Through questioning is the only way that people may appreciate and understand.
