    Mankelo Fishery Sediakan Khidmat Penghantaran Ke Rumah

    ENCIK Razman Abdul Ghani mulanya ragu dengan saranan agar beliau mengembangkan perniagaan jual ikan dengan menyediakan khidmat penghantaran ke rumah.

    Namun, saranan anaknya itu dicubanya juga dan ternyata ia mendapat sambutan menggalakkan.

    Perniagaan syarikatnya, Mankelo Fishery, melonjak 40-50 peratus sejak dua bulan lalu.

    Encik Razman, yang sudah 16 tahun berniaga ikan di pasar Bukit Gombak, menyangka pelanggan lebih gemar ke pasar kerana mahu melihat sendiri ikan-ikan segar sebelum membelinya.

    “Yalah, selama berniaga, pelanggan saya lebih suka melihat dan memegang sendiri ikan-ikan dan melihat warna insang ikan untuk mengetahui kesegarannya.

    “Jadi, saya agak terkejut apabila sambutan penghantaran ke rumah begitu menggalakkan,” ujarnya ketika ditemui di gerainya di Blok 372, Bukit Batok Street 31.

    Encik Razman, yang dikenali dengan nama ‘Mankelo’ sejak tinggal di kampung di Pulau Merlimau, menamakan syarikatnya Mankelo Fishery agar mudah diingati.

    Idea membentuk khidmat penghantaran ke rumah dicetuskan anak keduanya, Encik Muhd Tamam Shafiq Razman, yang ingin menceburi bidang niaga selepas tamat perkhidmatan negara (NS).

    Setiap hari dari 8 hingga 9.30 pagi, Encik Shafiq memuat naik gambar pelbagai jenis ikan dan makanan laut lain yang dijual di dalam Facebook Mankelo Fishery.

    Jenis ikan yang dijual berubahubah berdasarkan hasil tangkapan.

    Pelanggan yang berminat boleh membuat tempahan sehingga 11.30 pagi melalui Facebook, Instagram, telefon atau khidmat pesanan ringkas (SMS). Tempahan akan dihantar pada hari yang sama dari 12 tengah hari hingga 4 petang.

    “Kami membuat penghantaran pada hari yang sama untuk memastikan kesegarannya.

    “Sejauh ini sambutan pelanggan, yang kebanyakannya wanita bekerja, cukup menggalakkan.

    “Biasanya mereka telefon kami di tempat kerja dan kami menghantar ikan-ikan itu ke rumah mereka.

    “Mereka cukup senang kerana kami juga menyiang dan membersihkan ikan-ikan itu,” kata Encik Shafiq, yang membantu bapanya sejak di menengah dua.

    Dua daripada tiga beradiknya, Encik Muhd Tamam Sari dan Encik Muhd Tamam Sufyan, juga membantu dalam perniagaan itu.

    Pada hujung minggu, syarikat itu pernah mendapat tempahan sehingga 40 rumah dalam satu hari.

    Secara purata, pelanggan membayar $40 hingga $70 bagi setiap kali pembelian.

    Syarikat itu mengenakan bayaran minimum $30 dan bayaran penghantaran di serata Singapura $5.

    Sejak menjalankan perniagaan penghantaran ke rumah, syarikat itu juga menerima permintaan bagi daging dan ayam, serta makanan lain seperti tempe, tauhu, mi dan sebagainya.

    Bagi memenuhi permintaan itu, Mankelo Fishery bekerjasama dengan dua pegerai di pasar Bukit Gombak.

  • Paterson Road Closed Due To Oil Spillage

    Paterson Road Closed Due To Oil Spillage

    Traffic Police is looking into the cause of an oil spillage that occurred early Thursday morning along Paterson Road, police said in a statement.

    A stretch of Paterson Road outside ION Orchard, towards River Valley Road is now closed to all motorists except authorised vehicles. Paterson Road towards Scotts Road have been converted into two-way traffic to ease traffic congestion. An earlier statement from the police said the stretch of road has been closed since about 3.50am.

    The affected stretch of road is currently being resurfaced and Traffic Police officers have been deployed to manage the traffic situation. Road users are advised to avoid the following roads leading to Paterson Road: Scotts, Orchard and Tanglin roads. Traffic delays are expected on these roads.

    At about 10am, workers were seen repaving the affected stretch of road. Bus services 5, 105 and 132 which normally pass through Paterson Road are also being diverted to use Orchard Road, Orchard Boulevard before continuing on to Grange Road.

    An office worker who works at Shaw Centre told The Straits Times that the road closure has also caused a jam from Novena towards town.

    “I left home at 8.35am and took bus 54, which usually takes 30 minutes to reach Far East. Today, it took an hour,” she said.

    To facilitate road recovery works for an oil spillage, all five lanes at Paterson Road between the junction of Orchard Road and Orchard Boulevard, towards Paterson Hill are closed temporarily as this slippery stretch was not safe for use, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said in a statement. Public are advised to avoid these roads.

    The lanes will be opened to motorists progressively, LTA said. All five lanes are expected to be opened to motorists by 5pm. LTA enforcement officers and engineers are on-site to help to expedite recovery works and traffic diversion.

    Motorists who have any queries can contact the LTA hotline at 1800-CALL LTA. The public may also call the Traffic Police Information Hotline at 65470000 or stay tuned to radio and television broadcast for the latest updates concerning the road closure.

  • PRC Nurse At KTPH Showed No Empathy For Family By Claiming Audibly That A Patient Was Gonna Die

    PRC Nurse At KTPH Showed No Empathy For Family By Claiming Audibly That A Patient Was Gonna Die

    Dear CEO of KTPH Hospital

    I received your service acknowledgment letter. And regrets i am not accepting your apologies for the incident which had happened to myself on 30 December 2014.

    The past 17 days of my late mum being hospitalized in the hospital indeed had been very traumatizing for us as a family in whole. I had rushed all the way from abroad to be with my mum and stood vigil by her daily on every morning at 0600 hrs till late nights without fail. The hope of seeing someone you love dearly to get better made me brushed away all hecticness, jet lags and all other challenges i faced during these critical period. Mind you, i have to go through the emotional roller coaster and also taking care of my 6 mth old infant at night and my daddy too. Nevertheless faith and pray kept me and my family together albeit all these.

    1. On 30 December as i was in the process of getting my dad the family room next to ICU ward, one of your nurse (a china national) by the name of Cong from ICU unit ward answered a phone call in my presence at the ward’s reception. She probably didnt know i was related to patient she was talking about which is my late mum.

    Someone from a control centre called her up and she can cheekily answered in mandarin, “na ge patient ha yao se liao” which is clearly translated in English as “that patient going to die already.” These comments was relayed without abit of remorse and not an inch of empathy.

    Here we are going through grievances, and your “foreign talent nurse” who had been assigned to “nurse” my late mum passed such a remarks.

    A. Dont your nurses know of words taboo especially when working in such environment? The words i.e. die, mati, se is very very sensitive especially for a patient or their family be it in at any ward. And what made it worst, when my mum is fighting for her life.
    B. How can i be really sure your nurses who had been nursing my m been competence enough to handle my mum for the past 17 days?
    C. Your foreign talent nurse passed such remarks bluntly without considering the presence of member of public?

    3. How i can be sure that she or the nurses there had been compassionate and dedicated their service to the patients without being racists?

    2. On 24 Dec 2014, it was also brought to my attention that my family members had witnessed my mum who was in coma suffered blood loss while the nurses did a procedure on her. There was a pool of blood on the bed and under the bed. When i came, i saw my late mum’s hand between fingers were all covered with blood. When questioned we were told that bandage was not “tight” enuff and nurses had to rush to another patient at a nearby bed for resuscitation. My mum temperature dropped tremendously to 33 degrees for the night. Please iron my doubts below.

    A. Does that made my mum condition less important, hence she can suffer these lost of blood?
    B. If your nurses are competent why the assigned nurse did not ensure that my mum was well taken care first and then proceed with the resuscitation?
    C. How qualified are your nurses to handle such situations? Is there any contigency plannings when hansling of critical emergency in an ICU ward?

    I am truly purturbed with these incidences and very very traumatized when i hear someone being admitted to the same hospital. Until this very moment as i am writing these, i cant help recalling the words your nurse had muttered and the sight of my late mum’s blood.

    This is mind depressing for me and i hate to remind myself that things could have been better handled.

    Thank you,

    F.
    Daughter of late Mdm H

  • Increase In Number Of Unemployed New Polytechnic Graduates In 2014

    Increase In Number Of Unemployed New Polytechnic Graduates In 2014

    SINGAPORE — The number of fresh polytechnic graduates employed last year dipped slightly from 2013, continuing a gentle decline in the employment rate for such diploma holders.

    A joint survey by Singapore’s five polytechnics showed that 89.2 per cent of fresh polytechnic graduates were employed last year, down from 89.8 per cent in 2013. In 2012 and 2011, the employment rate stood at 91 per cent and 92.1 per cent, respectively.

    The median gross salary — the mid-point between the highest and lowest salaries — for fresh graduates remained unchanged at S$2,000 per month from 2013. In 2012, the median gross salary was S$1,950.

    While the number of fresh graduates in full-time positions dropped from 62.7 per cent in 2013 to 59.4 per cent last year, those employed in part-time positions inched up from 27.1 per cent in 2013 to 29.8 per cent last year, showed the Graduate Employment Survey. It had sought responses from 15,321 graduates between Oct 1 and Dec 8 last year.

    The employment rate for polytechnic diploma-holders joining the workforce after National Service (NS) also declined marginally from 92.8 per cent to 92.4 per cent.

    Fresh graduates from the Built Environment, Engineering and Maritime courses, as well as Health Sciences courses, were the top-earners, drawing median gross monthly salaries of S$2,100 and S$2,150, respectively.

    For diploma-holders who joined the workforce after NS, their median gross monthly salaries climbed from S$2,250 in 2013 to S$2,400 last year. Those in the Health Sciences drew the highest median gross monthly salary of S$2,665.

    The survey results come after the Applied Study in Polytechnics and ITE Review (ASPIRE) committee made recommendations last year to enhance the job and academic prospects for polytechnic and Institute of Technical Education graduates. The recommendations, which have been accepted by the Government and include developing multiple pathways for these graduates to advance in their careers, are in line with the Government’s efforts to shift the focus away from the obsession with paper qualifications.

    In response to TODAY’s queries, a spokesperson representing the five polytechnics said employment rates are affected by various factors and small fluctuations from year to year could be reasonably expected.

    The overall employment rate remains at “healthy levels”, with about nine in 10 polytechnic graduates securing jobs within six months of graduation. “Internationally, the overall employment rate of Singapore’s polytechnic graduates is also higher than the average youth employment rate of other OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries,” the spokesperson added.

    On the median gross monthly salaries for fresh graduates, which remained stagnant over the last two years, the spokesperson said median gross salaries have risen from S$1,700 in 2009 to S$2,000 per month last year.

    Ms Sufiyah Amirnordin, 20, who found a job as an assistant video producer after graduating from Ngee Ann Polytechnic last year, said business and nursing graduates find it easier to land full-time jobs.
