    Insiden Kelar Di ITE: Rayuan Terhadap Hukuman Penjara Diluluskan

    Rayuan yang dikemukakan seorang pelajar ITE terhadap hukuman penjara 18 bulan dan enam sebatan rotan yang dikenakan ke atasnya, diluluskan mahkamah.

    Muhammad Zuhairie Adely Zulkifli, 17 tahun, didapati bersalah mengelar teman lelaki rakan sekolahnya di kampus ITE pada Mac tahun lalu.

    Hakim Chan Seng Onn hari ini (21 Apr) sebaliknya mengarahkan Zuhairie supaya menjalani latihan pemulihan antara 18 bulan hingga tiga tahun.

    Pada Mac tahun lalu, Zuhairie menggunakan pisau sepanjang 35cm untuk mengelar Ahmad Nuthaqif Sahed berkali-kali di mukanya. Zuhairie melarikan diri selepas serangan itu, namun ditangkap pada hari yang sama. Mangsa mengalami beberapa keretakan tulang serta beberapa tendonnya juga terputus akibat serangan tersebut.

    Zuhairie mengaku bersalah atas serangan tersebut pada Oktober 2015 dan dijatuhi hukuman pada November tahun lalu.

    TAFSIRAN HAKIM TERHADAP KESALAHAN “TERLALU BERAT”

    Peguamnya, Benny Tan memberitahu Mahkamah Tinggi hari ini bahawa tafsiran Hakim Daerah terhadap kesalahan-kesalahan Zuhairie mungkin terlalu berat, dan beliau menjatuhkan hukuman pencegahan, bukan pemulihan.

    Encik Tan menggesa Mahkamah Tinggi supaya mengarahkan Zuhairie menjalani latihan pemulihan, di mana remaja itu boleh memanfaatkan program-program khusus untuk membimbingnya – sesuatu yang gagal dilakukan ibu bapanya, kata peguamnya.

    LAPORAN: ZUHAIRIE MEMBESAR DALAM SEKITARAN TIDAK STABIL

    Satu laporan psikologi menyatakan bahawa Zuhairie membesar dalam sekitaran yang “tidak stabil” dengan “jagaan ibu bapa yang tidak konsisten serta keganasan di rumah.”

    Mahkamah diberitahu bahawa ibu bapa Zuhairie “gagal menjadi peran contoh” dengan “rekod jenayah bagi tempoh masa yang panjang”.

    Zuhairie juga tinggal di sebuah rumah kebajikan sejak usianya 12 tahun.

    Peguamnya berkata latihan pemulihan akan memperbetulkan kesan latar belakang keluarganya terhadap Zuhairie.

    PENJARA AKAN BERI “KESAN NEGATIF”

    Beliau menambah bahawa langkah terbaik bagi kepentingan masyarakat ialah mengarahkan Zuhairie menjalani latihan pemulihan, bukan menjatuhkan hukuman penjara, di mana remaja itu akan terdedah kepada kesan negatif.

    Encik Tan juga menunjukkan mahkamah dua klip video insiden serangan itu yang dirakamkan seorang pelajar dan tersebar luas di lelaman media sosial. Ia menunjukkan mangsa mencemuh Zuhairie dan mencabarnya supaya melawannya.

    DPP: ZUHAIRIE BERSEDIA GUNA KEGANASAN KETERLALUAN

    Namun, Timbalan Pendakwa Raya, Wong Kok Weng, menggesa Mahkamah Tinggi supaya jangan menarik balik hukuman penjara yang dikenakan terhadapnya.

    Beliau menarik perhatian tentang beberapa perkara dalam laporan probesyen Zuhairie – termasuk sikapnya yang bersedia menggunakan keganasan yang keterlaluan untuk menghuraikan konflik, dan sikapnya yang semberono dan terburu-buru.

    DPP Wong juga berkata prospek pemulihan Zuhairie tidak seharusnya dibesar-besarkan, dan menarik perhatian, Zuhairie terus mewajarkan tindakan ganasnya dengan menyalahi mangsa kerana menyakitkan hatinya.

    Hakim Chan, ketika menarik balik hukuman yang dijatuhkan sebelum ini, memberitahu Zuhairie supaya memanfaatkan sepenuhnya tempoh menjalani latihan pemulihan untuk memperbaiki dirinya.

  • Singapore Doubles Amount It Will Give Palestinians For Capacity-Building

    Singapore Doubles Amount It Will Give Palestinians For Capacity-Building

    Singapore is committed to supporting Palestinians to build their capacity and skills, and will double the sum of its enhanced technical assistance package from S$5 million to S$10million.

    Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong made this commitment at a meeting with Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah in Ramallah on Wednesday, Mr Lee’s press secretary Chang Li Lin told reporters after the meeting.

    Mr Lee, the first Singapore prime minister to visit the Palestinian Territories, also encouraged the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) to resume negotiations to find a just and durable peace in a two-state solution – with Israel and Palestine living side by side.

    Under the package, Singapore has hosted study visits for Palestinian officials in areas such as education, anti-corruption reform and economic development.

    Singapore will also share its experience in vocational and skills training.

    “PM Hamdallah welcomed this as the Palestinians valued their friendship with Singapore,” Ms Chang said. “He expressed appreciation for Singapore’s assistance as education was a key focus for the Palestinians.”

    Dr Hamdallah received Mr Lee at his office in the Palestinian Territories on Wednesday morning.

    Both men then visited the mausoleum of Yasser Arafat, the first president of the Palestinian Authority, where Mr Lee laid a wreath before Mr Hamdallah hosted him to lunch.

    Dr Hamdallah welcomed the first visit by a Singapore PM to the Territories and conveyed the warm greetings of President Mahmoud Abbas, who is overseas.

    Mr Lee invited Dr Hamdallah to make a reciprocal visit to Singapore, which he accepted.

    Mr Lee also reiterated the standing invitation for President Abbas to visit Singapore.

    Dr Hamdallah briefed the Singapore delegation about the situation in the Palestinian Territories and reaffirmed the PNA’s commitment to the two-state solution.

    PM Lee had, at a meeting with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, reiterated

    Singapore’s hope that the Israelis and Palestinians can restart talks for a two-state solution.

    It was a point he made again when Israel’s Leader of the Opposition Isaac Herzog called on him on Wednesday morning.

    Both men had an exchange of views on developments in Israel and the region, Ms Chang said.

    “Mr Herzog agreed that the two-state solution remains the only viable option to achieve a just and durable peace for Israel and Palestine,” she added.

    Mr Lee also visited the Temple Mount in Jerusalem in the morning and Muslim leaders showed him around the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa Mosque.

  • Malay Population The Most Unhealthy Group In Singapore

    Malay Population The Most Unhealthy Group In Singapore

    The Malay population is the unhealthiest in Singapore.

    Latest statistics from the national disease registry reveal that a disproportionate number of diabetics and patients with kidney failure, heart attacks and strokes come from this group.

    Although Malays account for 13.5 per cent of the population, they make up 24.4 per cent of people on dialysis. Once diagnosed with end-stage renal disease, patients need either a transplant or dialysis for the rest of their lives.

    The proportion of Malays who have had kidney transplants rose from 8.5 per cent in 2003 to 10.1 per cent last year.

    Malays – both men and woman – are also at significantly higher risk of suffering a stroke than people of other races. Malay men are 1.5 times more likely to suffer one compared to Chinese men for instance.

    Age-standardised stroke rates for every 100,000 men last year was 296 for Malays, 199 for Indians and 184 for Chinese. For women, it was 195 for Malays, 131 for Indians and 105 for Chinese. Age-standardisation removes the influence of age distribution in each group and allows for a fair comparison.

    Malays are also more likely to suffer heart attacks. Since 2010, they have surged past Indians as the ethnic group with the highest rate of heart attacks.

    The report said: “The higher incidence of acute myocardial infarction among Malays is likely to be due to their higher proportions of hypertension and high cholesterol compared to the other ethnic groups.”

    It added that most Malays are unaware of their conditions compared to people of other races.

    The only major illness which the Malay population is not the most likely to get is cancer. This is most prominent among the Chinese.

    Former storekeeper Mohamad Raihan Yaakub, 68, suffers from diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol. He rarely exercises but has cut down from one pack of cigarettes a day to one every three days.

    The unemployed man started dialysis four years ago and lost his older brother to kidney failure.

    He had a blocked artery and had a stent inserted more than a decade ago. His children have no major health problems, but his son has taken up smoking too.

    “I tell him not to smoke, but he doesn’t listen,” he said.

    In Singapore, smokers make up almost a quarter of heart attack and stroke sufferers.

    Mr Sukandar Kastam, 49, was diagnosed with diabetes when he was only 25 years old. He has been on dialysis for the past six years.

    He used to weigh 120kg but has since lost 50kg. He too is unemployed and says he has been turned down time and again for jobs because of his need for dialysis three times a week.

    He admits that he does not exercise “because lazy lah”. Although he lives fairly near the National Kidney Foundation’s dialysis centre in Kim Keat Road, he would ride his motorbike there rather than walk.

    Speaker of Parliament Halimah Yacob said community groups and mosques have been organising health-related activities for the Malay community, but a more concerted effort is needed.

    “A lot of the pushing will have to be done at the community level and we should partner health-care providers like the hospitals and polyclinics for this effort,” she said.

    “Also, we should catch them young when habits are not yet formed on eating, exercising and prevention. Taking care of our health is our own responsibility.”
