This post is based on an article from a couple of years back, but either it was from a now-defunct website (eg. TRS), or the article has been taken down, or Google just can't find it.

One of the problems facing such mixed race-religion, eg. Indian-Muslim, has to do with Mendaki and Sinda.
The now-defunct article featured a couple of such Singaporean mixed race-religion, including an Indian-Muslim Singaporean woman who complained that she has to donate to both Mendaki and Sinda, but when she applied for financial assistance from them, both rejected her :
Mendaki : You're not Malay, so we can't help you, you should go ask Sinda for help.
Sinda : You're Muslim, so we can't help you, you should go ask Mendaki for help.
When it comes to race and religion, being a mixed race-religion, isn't the best of both worlds, it's the worst of both worlds, being rejected by both communities.
