    KitorangSG EP 8: Jatt Ali

    During the 1970s, Singapore’s Malay community faced rapid urbanisation and changing social values. Black Dog Bone’s music — with its themes of love, humour, and everyday life — reflected the aspirations of Malay youth seeking modernity without abandoning cultural roots. The 1970s and early 1980s were the heyday of Singapore’s live music circuit — with clubs, cabarets, and hotels offering nightly performances. Bands like Black Dog Bone honed their skills in these vibrant venues before breaking into recording. Their blend of pop, funk, soul, and rock appealed to both urban youth and working-class audiences across the region. The success of Black Dog Bone validated local artistry, encouraging other Singaporean musicians to perform original material instead of covers. Jatt Ali one of the founding members of Black Dog Bone shares the music journey of one of Singapore’s legendary bands in KitorangSG. Semasa tahun 1970-an, masyarakat Malay di Singapore menghadapi pemodenan yang pesat dan perubahan nilai sosial. Di Era itu muncul kugiran Black Dog Bone dengan music yang bertemakan cinta, jenaka, dan kehidupan seharian. Tahun 1970-an dan awal 1980-an merupakan zaman kemuncak ‘live music circuit’ di Singapura — di mana kugiran seperti B\lack Dog Bone m,encari makan di kelab-kelab malam dan hotel yang menawarkan persembahan music ‘live’ setiap malam. Kumpulan seperti Black Dog Bone mengasah kemahiran mereka di kelab sebelum mula merakam lagu. Gabungan muzik pop, funk, soul, dan rock mereka menarik minat penggemar musik di Singapura rantau ini. Kejayaan Black Dog Bone mengesahkan bakat tempatan punya nilai, dan mendorong pemuzik Singapura lain untuk menghasilkan lagu-lagu dari Singapura. Jatt Ali masuk studio KitorangSG untuk mengongsi cerita Black Dog Bone salah satu kugiran legenda negara ini. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    KitorangSG EP 7: Ustaz Ruknuddin

    Ruqyah is an Islamic practice involving the recitation of certain Qur’anic verses and supplications with the intention of seeking protection, healing or relief from spiritual unseen afflictions. More specifically it can be used for issues like the evil eye, black magic or witchcraft (siḥr), jinn possession or spiritual distress. At times in the spiritual realm what is right and what is wrong can be hard to differentiate. KitorangSG talks to Ustaz Ruknuddin Zainor the founder of Ruqyah.SG. Ruqyah ialah satu amalan Islam yang melibatkan pembacaan ayat-ayat Qur’an tertentu dan doa-doa dengan niat untuk mendapatkan perlindungan, penyembuhan atau kelegaan daripada gangguan bersifat ghaib. Secara khusus, ia boleh digunakan untuk gangguan dari segi ilmu hitam, sihir atau kerasukan jin. Kadangkala dalam dunai mistik ini sukar membezakan apa yang betul dan apa pula yang salah. KitorangSG berbual bersama Ustaz Ruknuddin Zainor, pengasas Ruqyah.SG untuk mendapatkan pencerahan beliau. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    KitorangSG EP 5: Aidil Sharin Sahak

    Aidil Sharin Sahak is a name that has lately sparked both pride and reflection among Singaporeans. Once a domestic stalwart as a player—and later coach in the local clubs before venturing ti Malaysia and Indonesia —he has now earned the Malaysia Super League Coach of the Year after leading Kuching City FC to a surprising and stirring fourth-place finish in the 2024-25 Malaysia Super League, transforming a team in relegation danger into one that will compete in the ASEAN Club Championship next season. But while Aidil’s triumph south of the Causeway is a bright spot, it also highlights how far Singapore football seems to have drifted. Domestically, the Singapore Premier League is struggling to raise the bar and consistently produce results that excite fans or develop players into regional calibre stars. The national team continues to underwhelm in many tournaments. Aidil Sharin steps into the KitorangSG studio this week to talk about football.  Aidil Sharin Sahak ialah satu nama yang telah mencetuskan rasa bangga dan sekaligus membuat kita merenung akan tahap pencapaian bolasepak di Singapura. Dahulu seorang pemain kemudian menjadi jurulatih di kelab-kelab tempatan sebelum dipikat kelab-kelab Malaysia dan Indonesia —beliau kini telah dianugerahkan gelaran Jurulatih Terbaik Dalam Liga Super Malaysia selepas memimpin Kuching City FC ke kedudukan keempat pada musim 2024-25. Dari sebuah pasukan yang hampir tersingkir dari Luga Super kini Kuching City FC akan bertanding dalam Kejohanan Kelab ASEAN musim hadapan. Sedang Aidil menyerlah di seberang tambak bolasepak Singapura seakan semakin malap. Singapore Premier League sedang bergelut untuk meningkatkan standard. Pasukan kebangsaan pula terus mengecewakan dalam banyak kejohanan. Aidil Sharin akan muncul di studio KitorangSG minggu ini untuk berbicara tentang bola sepak.
