A man in Singapore has been captured on video appearing to complain about noise levels during prayers at a local mosque. The 25-second clip, posted on the Instagram page shows the man dressed in a black shirt and shorts, being ushered out of the mosque’s entrance by another man in a long-sleeved jacket.
The incident began when the man was heard saying, “You all need to be considerate.” He then proceeded to question why people needed to sleep, and mentioned that there had already been several complaints about the noise.
As the man was being escorted out of the mosque, he can be heard continuing his complaint, asking, “You want to talk outside? It’s like… going on, you know?”
Two other men were then seen confronting the man outside the mosque. However, the video ends before any resolution to the situation is apparent.
The exact location and time of the incident are not clear, but there have been claims on social media that it took place at Masjid Darul Ghufran in Tampines, according to a post by local podcast show Plan B. Plan B also reported that the man who complained was a resident of the area.
The video has sparked a range of reactions online, with some criticizing the man’s behavior and others expressing concern about the noise levels at the mosque.
It is important to note that all individuals have the right to practice their religion freely, while also being considerate of their neighbors and the wider community. Mosques and other religious institutions play a vital role in promoting understanding and respect between different communities, and any incidents that may undermine this should be addressed promptly and appropriately.
As this situation continues to unfold, it is essential that all parties involved approach the matter with sensitivity and respect, and work towards a resolution that is fair and just for all involved.
