Not sure if the old timers can remember but in early 2000s there was this guy Zulfikar Shariff who got a few parents and kids into trouble when he instigated them to send their daughters to primary school with the tudung. He also ran this defunct website fateha.com, which help to generate a lot of noise. predictably, the ISD came knocking and off Zulfikar ran to Australia.
Now, this guy is a major Islamic blowhard who thinks Osama is a better leader than Yakult, but surprisingly he is back in Singapore after years of begging through the back channels. he is still crazy which anyone who has seen his Facebook can recognise, stirring trouble over Muslim grouses like the hijab issue.
He seems to attract more supporters these days, including NUS prof Syed Khairudin who made the lesbians are cancer remark and was counselled by the university recently. Heard they became close from the time they were at La Trobe university together. Funnily though, my friend told me that zulfikar has been kicked out of La Trobe a long time ago even though Zulfikar still claims that he is a PHD student there.
So now it’s quite interesting because the Malays here are warming up to him again because he is supposedly fighting for them and standing up against the govt, but it’s really not that straightforward and the Muslim community seems to be taken for a ride. People who went against PAP like Tan Wah Piow and Francis Seow are still in exile, so how could Zulfikar return without the approval of the powers-that-be. Most likely he manage to convince some powerful allies in the inside- perhaps the NUS prof (who is in PAP and always brags about how close he is to Shanmugam)?
Also, where does he get his money? Why is he so free to stir the pot and throw all these baits at the Malays? And these Muslims are just being goddamned blur and following him blindly. Like I said, they’re all being taken for a ride. get out your popcorns, boys, cant wait to see where he bring them all.
