  • Lelaki Kristian Ajar Kanak-Kanak Muslim Belajar, Hafal Al Quran

    Lelaki Kristian Ajar Kanak-Kanak Muslim Belajar, Hafal Al Quran

    KAHIRAH, MESIR: Ini satu semangat kemanusiaan yang luar biasa. Selama berdekad-dekad, seorang lelaki Mesir beragama Kristian mengajar kanak-kanak Muslim di kampungnya membaca dan menghafal Al-Quran.

    Bahkan, Encik Ayad Shaker Hanna, 80 tahun, mempunyai bilik darjah kecil di rumahnya yang digunakan untuk mengajar kanak-kanak di kampung Akoris, membaca dan menulis, menurut laman Al Bawaba.

    MEREKA YANG TIDAK MAMPU, BOLEH BELAJAR SECARA PERCUMA

    Menurut Al Jazeera, beliau hanya mengenakan yuran yang kecil, dan mereka yang tidak mampu membayar yuran, boleh belajar secara bercuma.

     

    Encik Ayad dilaporkan orang pertama di Akoris yang belajar membaca. Kini sudah bertahun-tahun lamanya, beliau mengongsi pengetahuannya itu dan mengajar kanak-kanak di kampungnya membaca dan menulis, termasuk membaca dan menghafal Al-Quran.

    “Orang Kristian menuruti ajaran Isa, dan orang Islam menuruti ajaran Nabi Muhammad.

    “Namun di kejiranan ini, dan tentang memberi dan menerima dan sebarang keperluan.. Itulah kasih sayang yang sudah kami kongsi bersama di kampung ini sejak dulu lagi,” kata Encik Ayad seperti ditukil Al- Bawaba.

    Menurut Al Jazeera, Encik Ayad sendiri mempelajari tentang Al-Quran semasa di sekolah rendah, dan bapanya menggalak beliau untuk menghafalnya.

    “Orang ramai kata Quran menyatakan yang ini dan itu.. Kitab Injil juga berkata yang ini dan itu,” kata Encik Ayad kepada Al Jazeera.

    Bahkan, beliau juga berkata beliau rasa dekat kepada Tuhan ketika membaca Al-Quran, kerana ia mengandungi mesej-mesej kasih sayang dan belas kasihan, lapor Al Bawaba.

  • Halimah Yacob: Build Community Ties To Guard Against Terror

    Halimah Yacob: Build Community Ties To Guard Against Terror

    Incidents like the terrorist attack on a Christmas market in Berlin show that Singapore cannot be complacent, said Speaker of Parliament Halimah Yacob yesterday.

    Building strong community ties is important to guard against such tragedies, she added.

    “Before we ever reach such a situation, if we do, we must be sure that we build a very strong foundation,” she said.

    Twelve people were killed in Monday’s attack – for which the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria terror group claimed responsibility – when a truck was driven into a Christmas market.

    “It is really, really sad, and it is really not reflective of what Islam is all about,” said Madam Halimah.

    She was replying to a question from the media at Toys Carnival @ Marsiling, a Christmas celebration for needy children from Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC, where she is a grassroots adviser.

    It was the second time this year that a truck was used as a terrorist weapon targeting large crowds.

    On July 14, 86 people were killed after they were run over by a truck in Nice on Bastille Day, the French national holiday.

    Madam Halimah said events such as Toys Carnival @ Marsiling, in which families of all races take part, are key to fostering ties. “These are the platforms that we must consciously create to develop strong community bonding… It is not possible to legislate harmony, but we can build harmony.”

    Now in its second year, the annual event brought festive cheer to around 150 children on the morning of Christmas Eve.

  • Final Farewell For AYE Accident Victim Jackie Liong

    Final Farewell For AYE Accident Victim Jackie Liong

    Friends and family gathered on Friday (Dec 23) afternoon to bid a final farewell to Mr Jackie Liong Kuo Hwa, the driver who was killed in the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) accident on Monday.

    Mr Liong, 37, was cremated Friday afternoon at Mandai Crematorium following a funeral service in church.

    His wife, Madam Venny Oliver, 37, who survived the crash, is recovering from surgery but was allowed to leave the hospital to bid a last goodbye to her husband. She attended the church funeral service for him but was not seen at Mandai Crematorium.

    Mr Liong was killed after a silver Mercedes-Benz travelling against the flow of traffic slammed head-on into the Toyota Vios he was driving. His wife was a passenger in the car.

    The driver of the Mercedes-Benz, Lim Chai Heng, 53, was charged on Tuesday with causing death by reckless or dangerous driving at National University Hospital, where he had been warded for his injuries, the police said.

    Other than Lim and Mdm Oliver, two others – a couple on a motorcycle – were injured in the morning peak hour accident that saw four cars, one motorcycle and one private bus wrecked. The wall of the expressway before the Tuas West Road exit was also severely damaged.

  • Four Singapore-Bound Flights Diverted To Batam Due To Poor Weather In Singapore

    Four Singapore-Bound Flights Diverted To Batam Due To Poor Weather In Singapore

    Four Singapore-bound flights were diverted to the Indonesian island of Batam on Thursday due to inclement weather in the city state.

    Among the four flights, a Singapore Airlines flight from Tokyo to Singapore touched down at Changi Airport more than five hours behind schedule after making three attempted landings on Thursday afternoon before diverting to Hang Nadim airport in Batam to refuel.

    The SQ631 flight, which carried 259 passengers, landed in Batam at 2.49pm on Thursday and only left for Singapore at 7.25pm. The flight, which was scheduled to land at Changi Airport at 3.25pm, eventually arrived at 8.50pm.

    The other three affected flights are a Tiger Air flight from Hong Kong with 104 passengers, a SIA flight from Brisbane with 289 passengers and a SilkAir flight from Thailand with 131 passengers. All of them arrived in Batam minutes before the SQ631 flight and departed in the evening for Singapore between 4.23pm and 5.46pm.

    All passengers stayed on board at Hang Nadim airport while waiting out the bad weather in Changi, according to local authorities BP Batam.

    A Changi Airport Group spokesman said decisions regarding flight diversions and landings are left to the sole discretion of the pilot and his airline.

    This incident comes just a week after some 200 SIA passengers were stranded in Hokkaido for about 57 hours after heavy snow closed airport runways and caused hundreds of flight cancellations.

    Ketua Polis Johor Datuk Seri Wan Ahmad Najmuddin Mohd berkata wanita berumur 26 tahun itu ditahan pada 8.00 malam semalam (22 Dis) di sebuah rumah di Taman Rekamas, Simpang Renggam selepas pihaknya menerima satu laporan, 20 Disember lepas.

    “Bertindak atas laporan tersebut, polis yang menjalankan siasatan telah dapat mengesan pemilik akaun laman sosial berkenaan yang disyaki memuat naik kenyataan yang menghina azan dan agama Islam. Keadaan ini boleh mencetuskan suasana tidak harmoni,” katanya menerusi kenyataan hari ini (23 Dis).

    Beliau berkata polis akan mengemukakan permohonan reman terhadap wanita itu bagi membantu siasatan lanjut mengikut Kanun Keseksaan dan Akta Hasutan 1948.

    Katanya, polis sehubungan itu menasihati orang ramai supaya tidak menyalahgunakan mana-mana perkhidmatan aplikasi media sosial bagi mengeluarkan kenyataan yang boleh menyebabkan suasana tidak harmoni dan melukakan perasaan penganut agama lain.
