They run loose all over the Kampongs... no idea if they are personal pets or community property... but I do see them on the golf course all the time... the four legged variety, that is. Definitely not guard dogs.JR8 wrote:Well, yes, they don't have the best looking gals over there tis true... ;Strong Eagle wrote: And not "any Muslim".

But assuming you mean 4-legged 'Canis est in atrium' dogs, that's interesting to me. Were the ones you saw domestic pets, or guard dogs?
I've seen dogs kept as guard dogs in places like say Egypt. But never as pets. It reminds me of the distinction between the roles with working farm dogs.

And back home I know enough Muslims who keeps dogs at home ..Strong Eagle wrote: And not "any Muslim". I used to golf at Batam all the time... dogs all over the place.
yes, it is a Religious thing but a lot of people have seen through the lack of logic in treating dogs, especially the part that .. Black Dogs are evil, or keeping the company of dogs voids a portion of a Muslim’s good deeds ...

House prices, like condos vary. I pay 4400 for shop house in east coast. But you can pay 30,000+ per months if you want.Rubyrosie wrote:Hi all

Only problem for a person new to singapore is that it limits who you meet and also often will not have a pool. I have a medium size sheep dog and have lived with her in condos many times. Have found no problem living in the condo until she got to about 16 and needs to go to the loo every hour or so. My advice would be to make your first home here a condo. You can meet people and being new to the heat you will probably like a pool (as you stay here longer you find you use the pool less and less). If you get a condo near one of the coasts (east coast appears to be best) you will get a funny small beach to take them to. If you stay central try to get near the reservoir or other large park area.
Well, Google for Malay Christians ..Strong Eagle wrote:I worked in Malaysia... mostly KL... for two years... and have vacationed a lot in the rural areas. I have never met a Malay who wasn't Muslim.ecureilx wrote:PS: not all Malays are Muslim![]()
I have a friend in KL, of Malay lineage, and is a practicing Christianity .. been so for generations and insists there are a lot of Malay Christians in Sabah .. and well, goes on to say that it is a burning issue .. complicated by some Pastors ..
And there are malaysians who look malay but are actually catholic eurasians (especially in Malacca). There are plenty of Malaysian Chinese christians. And yes we all know that Malaysia was Malaya until unification with SIA - Singapore. But the word Malay implies (if nothing else) someone who is muslim.
And in Malaysia it is illegal (very illegal) to convert to christianity and if you are of 'malay' descent, regardless of for how long you have been christian, it is illegal. I mean ILLEGAL, not just culturally frowned upon.

When I was in/off Sulawesi last year, some fellow guests at the hotel I was staying reported dog for sale in the local market.ecureilx wrote:my other half will not be thrilled with that wording ..PNGMK wrote:At least there's no risk of them being eaten here...
Well, her area is not known for dog eating, but thereabouts .. there are some tribes who do eat dog .. though they claim they butcher old dogs .. not puppies ..
But that is nothing if you've been around and about in China, where they seem to eat just about anything...

You don't see many large dogs in SG, never minds' gun-dogs'.
Many people will be afraid of them
Many landlords won't let to you.
Dogs in Singapore are toys, things to carry about in handbags.
But you must already know what kind of property you expect to rent. How are your working dogs going to cope with being indoors in such a space 23.5/24hrs?
