Workers’ Party: Authorities Should Take More Enforcement Action Against Errant Rail Operators

The Workers’ Party is deeply worried over the 3.5 hour disruption of train services along the entire stretch of both the North-South and East-West MRT lines on 7 July 2015. The severe inconvenience caused to an estimated quarter-of-a-million commuters during the evening rush hour makes this the most serious MRT disruption in Singapore’s history.

The latest breakdown comes on the heels of repeated assurances by both SMRT and the authorities about the improved reliability of our transport system. Yet, the number of significant train delays reached an all-time high of 12 in 2014 and stands at 8 in 2015. This is despite billions of dollars of government funds being pumped into improving the existing MRT infrastructure since 2011.

Even as the LTA and SMRT work together with their engineers and external consultants to identify the precise cause of the breakdown, we find it particularly troubling that two of our country’s main rail lines can be fully disrupted by what appears to be an electrical fault. This raises questions about our transport system’s resilience, particularly as such a system-wide failure could have repercussions on our nation’s economic and national security interests.

We call on the authorities to enforce a more rigorous maintenance regime on the rail network, with effective measures in place to ensure that commuters’ interests take precedence over corporate profits. For key performance indicators (KPIs) such as the number of unscheduled train withdrawals per 100,000 train kilometres and the number of service delays exceeding 30 minutes, concrete targets must be set and disclosed to the public.

In the meantime, engineering and front-line staff should also be provided with proper support by their employers to ensure that they are equipped to handle any similarly challenging situations in the future. Their efforts and tireless work – many working through the night – should be recognised, and we would like to express our appreciation for their hard work.

Buru Fadilat Ibadah 10 Hari Terakhir Puasa Di Makkah

Tahun ini merupakan kali pertama Encik Abdullah Moosa dan isterinya akan menyambut akhir Ramadan dan Hari Raya berjauhan daripada keluarga.

Encik Abdullah, 60 tahun, dan Cik Rubiah Mohammed, 58 tahun, antara jemaah warga Singapura yang menunaikan umrah pada akhir Ramadan ini.

Mereka berlepas ke Jeddah, Arab Saudi, kelmarin.

“Saya rasa sangat ghairah. Dengan izin Allah, saya dipilih menunaikan umrah di sana.

“Tentunya saya akan rindu kepada keluarga saya kerana tak dapat sambut Hari Raya dengan mereka di sini, tetapi saya serahkan semuanya pada Ilahi. Insya-Allah semuanya okay,” kata beliau, yang pernah menunaikan umrah dua kali sebelum ini.

Sekitar 300 jemaah Singapura telah berlepas ke Jeddah sejak Jumaat lalu.

Beberapa agensi yang menyediakan pakej umrah semasa akhir Ramadan berkata rombongan jemaah mereka secara umumnya telah berlepas ke Arab Saudi pada 4 Julai lalu dan akan kembali ke Singapura pada 19 Julai nanti.

Rata-rata mereka berkata ramai jemaah yang pergi ke sana pernah mengerjakan umrah dan ingin beribadah di Makkah bagi mengejar fadilat 10 malam terakhir Ramadan.

Pengurus di Shahidah Travel & Tours, Cik Rosila Salim, berkata ramai jemaah yang pergi kali ini merupakan mereka yang pernah menunaikan umrah semasa Ramadan.

Beliau turut menarik perhatian bahawa terdapat satu trend baru dengan lebih ramai lelaki bujang muda menunaikan umrah bersendirian.

“Ada yang semuda 21 tahun. Mungkin mereka menerima galakan daripada ibu bapa mereka dan mereka cenderung pada agama serta ingin mendapatkan fadilat sepenuhnya pada 10 hari terakhir Ramadan,” kata beliau.

Pengarah pengurusan Jalaluddin Travel & Services, Ustaz Jalaluddin Hassan, berkata menyambut Ramadan di tanah suci adalah suatu pengalaman luar biasa.

Beliau berkata terdapat dua rombongan menunaikan umrah semasa Ramadan, dengan rombongan kedua sekitar 20 orang akan kembali ke tanah air pada 19 Julai nanti.

“Mereka ingin menyambut Ramadan di sana kerana ganjarannya. Kemeriahan di sana juga sangat luar biasa. Pada bulan Ramadan, orang ramai berbuka bersama, semua murah hati dan tiada beza antara kaya dengan miskin,” ujarnya.

Pengarah Ruby Rashid Travel & Tours, Hajah Ruby Rashid, berkata jemaah yang menunaikan umrah di sana datang daripada pelbagai lapisan usia – daripada yang muda hingga yang lanjut usia.

Rombongan jemaahnya berlepas ke Arab Saudi mengikut konsortium yang dibentuk bersama beberapa agensi lain.

“Mereka yakin dapat lailatulqadar di sana dan ingin menyambut Hari Raya di sana juga. Memang lebih seronok di sana,” kata beliau.

HPB Steps Up Effort To Promote Healthy Lifestyle Among Malay Community

When the National Disease Registry (NDR) reported in December last year stating that Malays are the unhealthiest in Singapore, it drew a backlash from some people in the community.

“If a certain issue is indeed worrying and needs immediate attention/solution, why would identifying a certain enthic/community make any difference?” said Facebook user Zulkifli Yusof.

According to the NDR report, Malays are more likely to suffer from a stroke, undergo kidney transplants or go through dialysis.

On Thursday, the Health Promotion Board announced nation-wide efforts stepped up to promote healthy lifestyle, with tailored programmes for the Malay community.

These programmes consist of establishing health-promoted madrasahs, running the Ramadan “I Quit” smoking cessation campaign, distributing health calendars – consisting of healthy recipes and tips – to Malay families and organising healthy living programmes at mosques.

During a visit to Al-Ma’arif Al-Islamiyah, one of the participating madrasahs, on Thursday, Associate Professor Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim and parliamentary secretary for the Ministry of Health responded to the reactions.

He said he has seen positive response on the programmes from madrasah teachers, students and people who go to mosques.

“The fact that they feel for it means that they are quite committed to their healthy habits and lifestyle.”

“I feel that those among the (Malay) community who have embraced it (healthy living) are doing their best to eat healthily.”

There are currently three madrasahs actively promoting healthy living in Singapore: Al Ma’arif Al-Islamiyah, Irsyad Zuhri Al-Islamiyah and Wak Tanjung Al-Islamiyah. HPB plans to extend the initiative to three more.

These madrasahs now have health programmes permanently fitted into their school curriculum; some of these include health workshops and a student health ambassador-training programme. There are a total of 107 student health ambassadors across the three madrasahs, and their roles include leading health workshops.

These health workshops are designed to educate students on being mentally and physically healthy. Student ambassadors will hold talks sharing tips on maintaining a balanced diet, healthy stress levels and good self-esteem.

Faishal said that he is happy with the progress of the programmes, noting that at least 1,800 madrasah students have benefited from them.

The principal of Al-Ma’arif Al-Islamiyah, Sukarti Asmoin, 61, welcomes the new initiatives as part of the school curriculum. Speaking in Malay, she says she feels that it is important to keep the students healthy so that they will not fall sick.

It is also encouraged in the religion to maintain good health, which is linked to having a healthy mind, she added.

The school has also changed the food served in the school. For example, the canteen vendors are only allowed to sell fried foods on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Other plans

For the wider Malay community, HPB aims to recruit 2,000 smokers for the 2015 edition of Ramadan “I Quit” 28-day programme. There were 1,500 sign-ups in 2014.

They also plan to increase health-screening sessions and venues — from six to 10 mosques.
