  • Amrin Amin: PAP Prihatin, Akan Terus Berusaha Cari Huraian Bagi Isu-Isu Melayu/Islam

    Amrin Amin: PAP Prihatin, Akan Terus Berusaha Cari Huraian Bagi Isu-Isu Melayu/Islam

    Isu-isu Melayu/Islam terus menjadi tumpuan kempen para calon pembangkang Melayu sepanjang pilihan raya ini.

    Tanpa menyentuh mana-mana isu tertentu, calon baru PAP, Encik Amrin Amin berkata, para anggota partinya prihatin dan akan terus berusaha untuk mencari huraiannya.

    Namun katanya, ia perlu dilakukan secara bersama dan dengan pemahaman bahawa Singapura adalah sebuah negara berbilang kaum di mana keperluan kaum minoriti juga perlu dijaga.

    Maka itu, beliau menyarankan agar pendekatan lebih luas diambil dalam hal ini, dengan tumpuan juga diberikan kepada gambaran lebih besar serta teras Singapura yang perlu dipelihara.

    Encik Amrin ditemui semasa sesi kunjungan menemui penduduk di Woodlands Avenue 6, pagi tadi.

    Lawatan-lawatan seperti ini sudah menjadi satu rutin biasa bagi Encik Amrin Amin sepasukan, sejak Hari Penamaan Calon Selasa lalu.

    Diketuai Menteri Pembangunan Negara, Encik Khaw Boon Wan, pasukan lima anggota ini kelihatan bertenaga, meskipun bermula seawal 8 pagi tadi.

    Menurut Encik Amrin, sambutan yang diterimanya setakat ini amat memberangsangkan.

    “Saya telah berjumpa dengan ramai penduduk di kedai kopi, di kedai kopi dan pasar-pasar. Saya gembira dapat bertemu dengan ramai penduduk dan mereka memberi saya sokongan serta doa semoga dapat melaksanakan amanah masyarakat ini sebaik mungkin,” kata Encik Amrin.

    Walaupun setakat ini belum lagi ada isu-isu besar yang diutarakan penduduk, Encik Amrin akui masih terdapat lagi ruang yang perlu diperbaiki.

    Beliau berkata kesempurnaan mungkin tidak boleh dicapai.

    Namun beliau yakin pasukannya mempunyai rancangan yang baik untuk meningkatkan lagi mutu kehidupan para penduduk di sini.

    Sebagai calon kali pertama, peguam 35 tahun ini juga, berkata beliau banyak belajar daripada para aktivis serta para calon yang lain.

    Kerja keras, ketabahan serta kekuatan mereka dijadikan inspirasi bagi membulatkan lagi tekadnya untuk menyumbang kepada masyarakat.

  • Damanhuri Abas Soal Keupayaan Pemerintah Untuk Satukan Rakyat

    Damanhuri Abas Soal Keupayaan Pemerintah Untuk Satukan Rakyat

    Calon Melayu Parti Demokratik Singapura (SDP) Damanhuri Abas bagi GRC Marsiling- Yew Tee mempersoalkan keupayaan pemerintah untuk menyatupadukan rakyat.

    Beliau juga menuduh pemerintah “melontarkan syak wasangka” ke atas masyarakat Melayu, hanya kerana tindakan segelintir tahanan JI.

    Berucap di rapat SDP di Stadium Jurong Encik Damanhuri berkata sistem yang ada sekarang tidak mencerminkan ikrar negara yang memperjuangkan “rakyat yang bersatu padu”.

    Rakyat Singapura tegas beliau mahukan kepimpinan yang berjiwa rakyat dan ciri-ciri itu ada pada SDP.

    Maka itu, Encik Damanhuri mengajak rakyat beranikan diri menggantikan apa yang beliau sebut sebagai kekurangan yang ada pada sistem sekarang.

    “Ia hanya boleh berlaku kalau jika terdapat pembangkang yang ramai, kuat dan berani di parlimen. Selagi tiada suara pembangkang di parlimen betapa kuat kita berteriak di luar, tiada kesan yang akan mengubah keadaan kita,” kata Encik Damanhuri.

  • WP Mahu Lebihan TTFS Digunakan Untuk Pelajar Dewasa Melayu Buru Ijazah Pertama

    WP Mahu Lebihan TTFS Digunakan Untuk Pelajar Dewasa Melayu Buru Ijazah Pertama

    Parti Pekerja (WP) mengadakan rapat pilihan raya untuk pasukannya bagi GRC East Coast, di Simei Road.

    Salah seorang calonnya bagi GRC tersebut, Encik Fairoz Shariff berucap tentang kesukaran yang dihadapi para pelajar dewasa.

    Beliau menekankan lagi kandungan manifesto pilihan raya WP, yang mahu mewajibkan syarikat-syarikat melaksanakan peraturan kerja fleksibel untuk golongan tersebut.

    Beliau juga mendesak supaya wang lebihan dari skim Subsidi Yuran Pengajian Tinggi (TTFS), yang kemudian disalurkan ke Dana Pembangunan Pendidikan (EDF) kendalian MENDAKI, digunakan untuk membiayai pengajian pelajar dewasa Melayu yang memburu ijazah pertama mereka.

    Encik Fairoz berkata: “Laporan kewangan MENDAKI untuk tahun 2014 menunjukkan bahawa kira-kira $18 juta subsidi TTFS yang tidak diagihkan, telah dipindahkan ke EDF pada tahun 2014.

    “Saya berpendapat membenarkan pelajar-pelajar dewasa Melayu kita untuk memanfaatkan dana yang tidak diagihkan dari subsidi TTFS tidak akan menimbulkan masalah kerana jumlahnya amat besar. Lagipun, pelajar-pelajar dewasa Melayu kita, patut dikategorikan sebagai pelajar-pelajar pengajian tinggi walaupun mereka belajar secara sambilan.”

  • Do Opposition MM Politicians Have A Hidden Agenda?

    Do Opposition MM Politicians Have A Hidden Agenda?

    Aiseyman! This GE is so exciting siol~ With all seats being contested, it is a sight to see so many Malay-Muslim opposition candidates standing up to be counted to speak up for Singaporeans, and be the voice of the MM community. For far too long, the MM community has been under-represented in our country’s political conversation that it would be a step in the right direction for our community if more are willing to be involved in the governance of our country.

    But with the increasing religiousity within the MM community, it is worth questioning if these MM opposition candidates truly believe in furthering the democratic process of our political system, or are they merely using the various political parties as a platform to air their grievances and further their religious agenda of pushing for a more conservative and Islamic society?

    Just look at SDP’s Damanhuri Abas. Even though he represents a party that believes in the ideals of democracy, justice and equality, he himself is not a true believer of these values because he cherry picks who he thinks deserves to be treated as equals and who deserves to be discriminated against. On the one hand, he fights for the rights of Muslim NSmen and Hijabi Muslimahs, but on the other hand, he says that the law should continue to discriminate against gay men by retaining Section 377A.

    Another example is NSP’s Nor Lella Mardiiah Mohamed. In the 2011 elections, she represented the party without wearing the hijab. This time round however, she is representing the party as a Muslimah wearing the hijab. While it is her prerogative to wear the hijab, one can’t help but wonder if this change is reflective of her increasing religiousity, and whether this will translate into support for the hijab issue and more broadly, issues that demand for more allowance of Islamic practices in our secular society.

    GE2015

    What about WP’s Firuz Khan who appears to be a supporter of former Malaysian Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad? Like Mahathir, is he also a fan of race-based politics and the bumi-policy? If he is voted into parliament under the WP ticket, will he champion for more MM entitlements and privileges that will affect the delicate racial situation in singapore?

    These are questions that the opposition parties or the MM candidates themselves must address so that voters know what these candidates truly stand for and whether they are deserving of our votes.

  • Yaacob Ibrahim And Laselle College Of The Arts Should Shoulder Some Responsibility On Wine Bottle Debacle

    Yaacob Ibrahim And Laselle College Of The Arts Should Shoulder Some Responsibility On Wine Bottle Debacle

    Admin,

    For the record, I condemn what has been made of Yaacob Ibrahim’s photo at a Laselle College of the Arts function. It was mischievous and tried to paint him, the Minister-in-Charge of Muslim Affairs, in a very bad light. It was in very bad taste and is very unbecoming of a Muslim, if the person or people behind the photo is or are indeed Muslims.

    Lasalle Event

    Yaacob has been quick to condemn the photo and had even called on WP’s Faisal Manap to condemn the act.

    He should be reminded of the saying, there is no smoke without fire.

    As a Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs,he should not have been caught in that situation. There are many confetti poppers so why does one that looks like a wine bottle had to be used? If it hadn’t been used, it wouldn’t give people the opportunity to milk it for political mileage. I’m sure his assistants or even he himself would have been briefed about the programme. Or maybe they weren’t thorough enough?

    Then you also have the event organiser Laselle. It is a secular arts school but it does not mean that they cannot be aware of the sensitivities of a Muslim politician holding a wine bottle(even though it is a fake). Again, confetti poppers come in all shapes and sizes so why the need to go for one that looks like a wine bottle? Are they really that ignorant?

    What this incident shows is that there are people who are still unaware of racial and religious sensitivities, We cannot take for granted that everyone undersands Islam and the obligations of its adherents. As a Muslim, it is our duty to be mindful of such matters and advise the people of a better way to do things.
