CONTEXT LENS



Context Lens (CL) is a secondary committee under NUS Muslim Society’s Publicity Secretariat, with the aim of harnessing the potential of podcasts for discourse on contemporary issues that undergraduates are concerned about, through the lens of Islam.


The primary aim of CL is to deconstruct the perception of a dichotomous relationship between Islam and contemporary issues by discussing these issues through an Islamic lens, thereby contextualising them. It is our belief that no concern falls outside the purview of Islam, stemming from the belief that Islam is a perfect and complete way of life.

EPISODE 7 | HUNGRY FOR FOOD AND CHANGE: A MUSLIM'S STRUGGLE (PART 1 AND PART 2)



Synopsis: "Hangry in school". We're sure that you've heard about the halal food issue that has gained traction on social media recently, in response to that article by Mothership.sg, which outlined the limited halal food options faced by NTU Muslim undergraduates. Based on this backdrop, our team did a groundsensing recently through social media and we've gathered a variety of sentiments from students in general about getting halal food in schools! Curious to know what students felt? Tune in to this podcast episode to find out more!


Content: Part 1 covers the struggles of a Muslim in obtaining Halal food, reactions of a Muslim to such issues (i.e., concept of redha versus striving), and actions to take moving forward. Part 2 features an interview with Haira, the president of NTUMS, and Zalman Putra, the Director of Halal Development at MUIS.
