  • What Happens To The CPF Money If Your Husband Passes On Before Reaching 55

    What Happens To The CPF Money If Your Husband Passes On Before Reaching 55

    Duit oh Duit!
    .

    Tadi berbincang dengan seorang teman yang baru
    beberapa bulan kematian suami.
    Suaminya meninggal pada usia 54 tahun,
    dan tak sempat nak merasa duit CPFnya pun!
    Suaminya meninggalkan seorang isteri dan
    2 orang anak perempuan yang dalam usia 20an.
    .
    .

    Masaalahnya:
    Apa hukum duit CPF dan rumah HDB peninggalan sang suami?
    Adakah keluarga sang suami ada hak ke atas harta tersebut?

    Lalu kak Aabid pun buat research di website
    Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura.
    .

    1] Adakah wang CPF (Tabung Simpanan Pekerja)
    yang telah diletakkan nama “calon” (nominee)
    oleh si mati menjadikan calon tersebut
    pemilik harta wangCPF itu secara mutlak?
    .

    Jawapan:
    Jawatankuasa Fatwa telah mengulas kembali fatwa
    berkenaan nominasi CPF pada mesyuarat yang ke 24,
    bertarikh 3 Ogos 2010.
    .

    Jawatankuasa Fatwa memutuskan bahawa:
    Sistem nominasi merupakan cara baru pembahagian harta.
    Cara ini tidak terdapat dalam penulisan dan karya para ulama terdahulu, namun ia dibenarkan kerana ia dianggap sebagai jenis hibah yang baru.

    2] Bolehkah Saya melakukan Nuzriah atau Hibah Ruqba pada Rumah HDB?

    Jawapan: http://www.muis.gov.sg/…/Joint%20Tenancy%20Fatwa%20Booklet_…

    yang memerlukan jawapan pada persoalan di atas.

  • Is She Out Of The Race? Singaporeans Knows She’s Indian?

    Is She Out Of The Race? Singaporeans Knows She’s Indian?

    I saw a post on facebook and wanted to share it because it might have a significant effect to Singapore and our malay community here.

    As you know the presidential election is coming, and Halimah Yacob might probably not be a ‘Malay’. It turns out that she actually had an Indian-Muslim father and her IC would have stated ‘Indian’ had her father not pass away before the registration. So now it really depends on the new committee to declare her either ‘Malay’ or ‘Indian’.

    But the lady had been a close friend to the Muslim society throughout the years, definitely a better people’s choice as compared to other potential Malay presidential candidate.

    Sumbanganya terhadap rakyat Singapura memang disanjung tidak seperti ahli-ahli politik yang lain. Tak tahulah apa yang akan terjadi nanti beberapa bulan kemudian. Adakah negara kita dilanda jenis politik perkauman?

    Maaf kalau tersilap, saya mahu kongsi maklumat sahaja.

  • Student’s Sacrifices For O Levels Pay Off

    Student’s Sacrifices For O Levels Pay Off

    The secret to her success? She gave gave up her social media accounts and social life to concentrate on her studies.

    Yesterday, that discipline paid off for 16-year-old Haziratul Zakirah – who was one of the top scorers from Hong Kah Secondary School with an L1R5 score of 13, which included three distinctions.

    The class of 2016 set a record with yesterday’s results. Students who took the O levels last year outperformed their seniors with 84.3 per cent attaining at least five passes, surpassing the 83.8 per cent set by the 2015 cohort.

    When Zakirah’s result was flashed on the screen in school, she started to cry.

    She told The New Paper later: “I felt so relieved that all my hard work and sacrifices have paid off.”

    She recounted how she had spent about four hours each day studying after returning home from school at around 6pm. On weekends, she would study for about nine hours on one day and spend the other day resting.

    Zakirah, who has three siblings, said she was inspired by her mother, who is the sole breadwinner.

    She said: “My mother works very hard so that my siblings and I can be successful in life. I don’t want to waste that effort.” Madam Siti Rodiyah, 48, a planning engineer, told TNP: “I wasn’t really surprised with Zakirah’s result because I had seen how hard she worked. But whatever her results, I am very proud.”

    Zakirah scored eight for her L1R4, and based on last year’s criteria, she’s eligible for her dream course – biomedical science at Ngee Ann Polytechnic.

    Zakirah, who grew up watching doctor shows on television, hopes to become one in the future.

    She was also her school’s student council president and National Police Cadet Corps squad leader. She even found time to volunteer.

    Zakirah said: “I have been through a lot of challenges, and I know what it feels like to need help. This made me want to help others so they have a reason to smile.”

    Her mathematics teacher, Mr Dao Jun Sun, 35, said that he was not only proud of her grades but also her character.

    “That, to me, is her real success,” he said.

  • You Know Why Malays And Indians Get Less Sleep? – Radio Kiss 92FM

    You Know Why Malays And Indians Get Less Sleep? – Radio Kiss 92FM

    Local radio station Kiss 92FM’s  morning radio DJs Maddy, Jason and Arnold made a racially insensitive remarks which stereotyped the Malay and Indian minorities in Singapore. In a FB post, someone claimed to have heard the unpleasant remark over the radio and was immediately turned off by it.

    The radio station were suprised at the sleep report claiming that most Chinese Singaporeans got enough sleep whereas minorities get less sleep. It is unclear who actually made the comment but one of the DJs opined that Malays and Indian Singaporeans get less sleep because they were raised to have fun and party.

    Is this the becoming of Singapore’s local radio station? Have they no regard for the feelings of the Malay and Indian community in Singapore even if it were meant to be a joke? I totally agree with the FB user who posted the photo; not going to listen to Kiss 92FM again.

  • Best O-Level Results In At Least Three Decades

    Best O-Level Results In At Least Three Decades

    The class of 2016 has set a record. Students who took the O levels last year have outperformed their seniors, with 84.3 per cent of the cohort attaining at least five passes.

    This surpasses the 83.8 per cent set by the 2015 cohort. Then, it was Singapore’s best showing at the national exam in at least three decades.

    A total of 30,292 students took the O-level exam last year, compared with 29,723 students in the class of 2015.

    In a joint press release, the Ministry of Education (MOE) and the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB) said on Wednesday (Jan 11) that the results “are comparable to that of 2015”.

    MOE and SEAB added that 96.5 per cent of the students attained at least three passes, while 99.9 per cent passed at least one subject. These results were largely similar to the previous batch’s 96.1 per cent and 99.9 per cent respectively.

    However, the performance of private candidates slipped slightly.

    Of the 1,865 private candidates who also took the exam, 90.2 per cent got at least one pass. This figure is slightly lower than the previous batch’s 90.5 per cent.

    Students went back to their secondary schools at 2pm on Wednesday to collect their results.

    Schools across the island celebrated not only their top scorers in the national exam, but also students who had shown great improvement, overcome odds in their lives, or exhibited exemplary values.

    In a Facebook post on Tuesday (Jan 10), Education Minister (Schools) Ng Chee Meng urged students collecting their results to appreciate their teachers and loved ones for their support, believe in themselves and challenge their limits.
