MUIS defends market-rate #rent for wakaf #properties | @straitstimes #Singapore
🧐"Fauzia Rani, who helps run the #family #business, told ST that she feels there should be more consideration for #heritage businesses in the area. It is sad that the merchants who first started everything in #KampongGelam may not be considered to be part of the #community that benefits from the wakaf, she said.. Dollars and cents are important, but we also need #compassion, she added" #kopi

Went to Blu Jazz in Kampong Gelam for the last time yesterday. Jazz Inc SG held a “tea party”, and the gang held a farewell jam for me.

I like to think that Sinclair was inspired by my departure in assembling the set list, for he opted for a “tour of south-east Asia”, singing a swing version of Gelang Si Paku Gelang (I’m staying at the same hotel in Geylang as where I was staying when I arrived in SG for the first time) and a swing version of Rasa Sayang (I’ll be travelling though south-east Asia for the next couple of weeks). Maybe he also remembered that I was the only one of his students to show up when he and Rudy did a local folk songs inspired jazz gig?

He also sang Wham! (Re-bop boom bam), the song to which we danced during the Jazz Inc performance I participated in, back in October.

I am so grateful for the Lindy Hop / Jazz community I found here in SG. I will miss them a lot and hope to see them again all over the world, at Lindy Exchanges 😊
