Singapore muslims doesn't mean its religiously related

I find it hard to grasp how most people can assume that when the word muslim is mention, it has everything to do with religion. There are some muslims who are not religious or who are not practising (depends if they still do call themselves as muslim, which i'm sure some still do) I have friends in my time who are muslims but they are not "religious".

So its interesting to see how Singapore muslim are actually confused when on our site its stated clearly 'singapore muslims". hrmmm..maybe it need to be accompanied with a footnote?? :P
my suspicions comes down to how people define themselves in Singapore. it's probably through their race and culture rather than through their value system. It's common to hear people asking 'what race are you....or where are your from' if you are a Singaporen. There's somehow a stereotypical connotation as soon as you say that you belong to a certain race.

NasiBriyani lounge...where singapore muslim community Think...not necessarily "religious issues"

The next think we found is people think that its a forum site. Perhaps its a failure on our part to not clearly explain this site? something like this.....

"But well, its an Ask Answer site. People ask a question and you guys can answer each others question too....How it works is by having a point system.....read more on how it works."


Also we are currently going through an extensive rewiring. We call it.... "operation refurbishment" . Since 2 of our guys are coming down to Singapore to have a meeting with Singapore muslim community the ordinary joe there (that's where the interesting people are)......we are also hoping do the final fine tuning to our site to make it fully operational. A website is always a work in progress no doubt but there are about about 1/4 bit of add-on which is still in working stages. Hopefully inshallah in a couple of months (by the time that our guys are in Singapore) we'll be able to launch our complete site to the people.

We can't tell exactally what these changes are, but we are sure that it will add more sipce, sugar, chillie and coconut milk into our site. We will really appreciate if you guys have more ideas on how to make this more interesting to let us know.

There haven't been a one stop area for Singapore muslim community on a website. ( moderate muslim, progressive muslim, expats, local muslim, reverts, non practising muslim, x-muslim, pious muslims, creative muslim and many more diversity) So we're really excited to give this to them, but in return to ask them to participate and have fun.

This site is made by the ordinary joe of Singapore muslim for the every type of muslims in Singapore there are. If you will like to meet us in Singapore please drop us a line. details of when we will be there will be given if you are interested to meet us up for a cupa of coffee..and just chat.
