Thanks TSL for producing content that actually educates people and raises awareness on topics like this, which is especially important since SG is a multi-religious country. We should all aim to be more accepting and understanding of each other. good job yalllllll💪

I think Chuan is the most responsible person of all of them because he save the bus money just to donate it... And i felt that, that is the most sweetest thing of all for saving money just to donate it.... And also it's Ramadhan in 2018 now... And it is almost ending... 😢 😢 😢

Fasting is nice because it makes you look forward to something everyday

[@khairomanborhan8314]

My mother goes to the mosque early to serve Food And the people who come to the Mosque early also have to see the food and the drinks

[@Man-wz5vv]

I regular fast as a hindu as it replenishes your cells what's also recommended and I do this a lot is to exercise do yoga, qigong or high interval exercises .. oh dont forgot no caffeine as it will disrupt your fast also recommend proper sleep. So example of fasting from 8pm till 18:00 or 8pm to 12pm next day.

[@GigaZX91]

Malay is so well prepare for this, the other never prepare for this... This Challenge, I guess is to Teach us how fortune other Races Are Raised like Buddhist other Religion No Need to Fast... Only Muslim that is Fasting Malay is Season, Chinese not use to it except for the Malay younger one Is A starting of a Journey of Fasting....

[@johariaa4761]

Nicholas Puah, you probably meant Muslims (instead of Malay) but we understand you. Only thing, it's not very accurate coz not only Muslims fast. Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, and Jews fast too, albeit in different ways on special dates on their respective calendars. Just want to point out this similarity we share. Perhaps fasting among the Muslims is more prominent cause it's for an entire month, for a full day when the sun is out, and absolute abstention from food, drinks, impure thoughts and actions.

[@saucelover]

Well, u guys have my respect and im thankful for people like u. :)

[@saviour1990]

As a nurse. Not drinking or eating for 12 hours is kinda norm. hmmm..

[@Kelvin-vq7yp]

"Cannot drink uh?" *bitch face* from Amirul :')

[@bailey7295]

thank you for encouraging singaporeans to be more multi religious

[@kneeyokewan859]

[@lalalanderxoxo9320]
