Petition to Postpone the HipHop Tamizha Concert on March 1st, 2025

To: Maestro Production

Dear Organizers,

I am writing this petition on behalf of my fellow Muslim brothers and sisters in Singapore, as well as myself, to kindly request the postponement of the HipHop Tamizha concert scheduled for March 1st, 2025

As you may be aware, the concert date falls during the holy month of Ramadan, a sacred time of fasting, prayer, and reflection for Muslims. During this period, we fast from dawn until sunset and break our fast (Iftar) in the evening. Following Iftar, Muslims perform nightly Taraweeh prayers, which are a special and significant act of worship unique to Ramadan.

Attending the concert on March 1st would present significant challenges for Muslim attendees, as breaking our fast during the concert would be inconvenient and inappropriate. Additionally, we would miss the opportunity to fulfill our religious obligation to perform the Taraweeh prayers.

Singapore is a vibrant, multicultural society that values diversity and mutual respect among its people. In this spirit, I hope the concert organizers can be considerate of the needs of the Muslim community. I would like to humbly propose rescheduling the concert to a date after Ramadan, perhaps in April, when fasting month concludes on March 31st.

I also wish to address any potential concerns regarding Muslims attending a concert. For many of us, music and entertainment are simply a form of enjoyment, as long as they align with our values and do not cross religious boundaries. HipHop Tamizha has a significant fan base among Indian Muslims in Singapore, and it would be disheartening for us to miss this concert due to the constraints of Ramadan.

This request is made sincerely, with respect for all communities and a hope that it will allow all fans to enjoy the concert without compromising their religious obligations.

Thank you for your understanding and consideration of this matter. I hope actions can be taken to accommodate this request, and I look forward to hearing a positive response.

Sincerely,

Manboi
