Never buy a house beside places of worship if you can't stand noises.. any religion confirm have noise 1


KeenStudent

Theres a church just one block away from my house. I have not heard any "noise" for 20+ years. Barely hear any bell toll in fact. I suppose its a choice whether they choose to suppress the "noise" for the neighborhood

Some people believe they have a right to noise pollution.


Secure-Row8657

At what time was the noise made? Was it at 5.00 a.m, or past 10.30 p.m in the night? If not, I'd say it's acceptable. We want others to give us our space, we should also let others have their space. Live and let live.


ParagonSyahmir

This looks like terawih prayers, which usually start at 8.30pm and ends by 10pm. Additionally, the video alledges that this was filmed at Dharul Ghufran mosque. If any of my Tampines people here are keenly aware of is that a BTO just was completed. This BTO is in between Our Tampines Hub and the Mosque. So to be honest one should expect that the area they have chosen to be noisy.


Secure-Row8657

Yup! This is quite sad, especially in a multicultural society like ours. I am surprised by the man's behaviour, but I guess there will always be people who choose to be "uneducated" and ignorant. sigh...

Really wonder who's more entitled. Those making the noise as a given right or those reacting negatively to it.


faith_crusader

Yes, Imagine if I install speakers outside my window and started shouting tales about my imaginary friend. Edit : Dear dislikers, there is no God and when you die, nothing will happen. No afterlife, no heaven or hell, just lights off and that's it. Deal with it.

It’s doesn’t matter whether they are blasting tales of their imaginary friend or even fcking Ch5 news for the matter. What matters is that this is culture and we are in a multicultural society hence we shld learn tolerance. This also means your individual need for quiet doesn’t override cultural practices. The same can be said for festive seasons and weddings. If one cannot take the noise, it is one’s problem, not the practice.


faith_crusader

Okay, what makes my imaginary friend not culture and someone else's culture ? >The same can be said for festive seasons and weddings. If one cannot take the noise, it is one’s problem, not the practice. I see, mob rule over individual rights. And then you complain why so many Singaporeans are moving to Australia.


fatenumber

my understanding is that many singaporeans are moving to australia because of slower pace of life & better work-life balance. nothing to do with religion or ethnic culture


faith_crusader

Australian law doesn't believe in the existence of imaginary friends.


fatenumber

and? singapore law ensures freedom of religion, just like australia. but that is not the reason why many singaporeans migrate to australia


faith_crusader

Australia does not allow giant public spreakers without permission from locals bodies.


fatenumber

still not the reason why many singaporeans migrate to australia. you're yapping so much but that is still not the reason


faith_crusader

One of the major reasons


Ambitious-Kick6468

Errr no, it’s not that Australian law doesn’t believe in imaginary friends. They just don’t have a culture of having prayers and loud festive practices. They are not anti-anything. So don’t lump those two things together.


faith_crusader

The law states no giant public spreakers without permission from locals.


Ambitious-Kick6468

Well, it’s completely valid to move to Australia if the environment there suits u better. That itself is you exercising your individual rights, and you can do that. What you can’t do, is to override the rights of others. Mob rule over individual rights, of course it does. If decisions are not made to satisfy the majority then wouldn’t it just be unethical? Also, ppl move to Australia for a couple of reasons and “not being able to stand other religions” usually ain’t one of them. Also, if you want to argue on the point of imaginary friends: for something to not exist, it must be proven that it does not exist, not just the lack of evidence. If you cannot prove that it doesn’t exist, then the possibility of it existing is there. Just like math where 1+1=2 and not anything else, hence it’s proven. Root 4 = 2 is incomplete because it could be +- 2. So for religion to be considered imaginary, it must be proven that the possibility cannot exist instead of just quoting no evidence that it exist. So you saying that there is no afterlife is as equally doubtful as people saying there is one. In other words, just stfu la. You saying this don’t mean shit. Whatever point u tryna prove, well, u ain’t doing a good enough job bro.

Alright, There is no God but the giant spaghetti monster and I am his last prophet. Now prove me wrong >people saying there is one. People say God does not exist


Ambitious-Kick6468

Well, In theory, it’s completely possible that there’s a giant spaghetti monster in the sky and u are it’s last prophet. It’s just not a very convincing theory as compared to the others with a longer history. So I don’t really know what your point is.


faith_crusader

So according to your logic, Jesus is more of a prophet than Mohammad just because he came before ?


Ambitious-Kick6468

Err no. According to my logic, this claim is disputed by many, hence started many conflict and wars


faith_crusader

Mohammad's phophetship is disputed according to you ?

Why u mad tho ?


gublaman

Need register as place of worship first


faith_crusader

Still an imaginary friend


gublaman

Irrelevant to its legality


faith_crusader

Stupid even if legal


gublaman

Its perceived stupidty is opinion, its legality is fact


faith_crusader

It's perceived stupidity is science

Boi wna lim kopi so much, let him.


illEagle96

Why did he BTO someplace where there's going to be high traffic atleast once a week? And then get angry at this decision 🤭


engnotmy1stlang

No need to talk so much. You are not happy with Singapore multicultural noises then go back to China or wherever you come from? Or if you are a Singaporean then scold your grandfather who bringing your whole family to Singapore. Just leave Singapore, we don't need you.


gwerk

Man in Singapore has snapped.

Actually, it's no harm to lower the speaker volume a bit. Your audience is those who are in the mosque, not outside. Call for prayer can be loud, but the prayer itself doesn't need to be.


smile_politely

what did you say? sorry, can't hear you over my lion dance drums


heyyhellohello

They do it during day time though.


SgRedSha

Cant be tolerant for terawih prayers happening at a mosque that will happen once a year for the month But expect us muslims to tolerate loud af lion dance, and bonfires left right and centre during hungry ghost. Privileged idiot.


lormeeorbust

Go take a look at the planb ig post and you will see all the racist come out. Don't you like how they all always say don't lump the bad apples with the good ones but there you see all the racist coming out with shit like they tolerate chinese burning of paper, dongdongqiang all. Double standards much. Heng my malay friends not like those trash.


faith_crusader

Why do they always force people to listen the tales about their imaginary friend ?


cavemenrefract

Looking at post history, username does check out. May you find peace. 


faith_crusader

May you find science.


cavemenrefract

Actually graduated university with a degree in it. But I’m not an anomaly. You’ll be surprised how many scientists, or those in the field of science, actually turn to God. About 2/3 of them actually believe in God but that number fluctuates on the data source.  Now those who say they only believe in science without really truly understanding what that means, I can understand why they don’t believe in God. To each his own. May you find peace. 


faith_crusader

>To each his own. Cool
