  • SCDF: Warning! We Do Not Endorse Any Fire-Extinguishers Or First Aid Kits, Don’t Fall For Scam

    SCDF: Warning! We Do Not Endorse Any Fire-Extinguishers Or First Aid Kits, Don’t Fall For Scam

    ALERT OF COMPANIES ATTEMPTING TO SELL FIRE EXTINGUISHERS AND FIRST AID KITS

    The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) has received public feedback about companies claiming to be endorsed by the SCDF to sell fire extinguishers and/ or first aid kits. In some cases, insistent ‘hard-sell’ techniques were used to get the public to purchase their products. Sales personnel were also reported to be wearing lanyards to give the impression that they were representatives from a government organisation.

    We would like to inform members of the public that the SCDF is not involved in any sales of fire extinguishers and first aid kits. The SCDF has also not authorised any company to conduct such activities on its behalf. The SCDF would like to remind members of the public to exercise caution when dealing with such persons or companies.

    It is a standard procedure for SCDF personnel on official duties to display their warrant card, NS Identity Card or letter of authorisation, as proof of authentication. SCDF personnel will not compel residents to purchase fire extinguishers and first aid kits for their households. While it is encouraged for each household to be equipped with a fire extinguisher and first aid kit, it is not mandatory and residents will not be fined by SCDF for not having these items at home.

    Members of the public are advised to lodge a police report for cases involving the impersonation of SCDF officers or unauthorised business activities.

    Individuals who wish to file a complaint against such companies can call CASE’s hotline 6100-0315 for assistance. They can also file an online complaint via CASE’s website at https://www.case.org.sg/complaint.aspx or walk in to CASE’s office located at 170 Ghim Moh Road.

  • Eyewitness Needed – Motorcyclist Died In Early Morning Accident, Helmet With Camera Missing

    Eyewitness Needed – Motorcyclist Died In Early Morning Accident, Helmet With Camera Missing

    Hi, would like to plead for witnesses or with car cameras footage of a fatal accident involving my late friend’s, bike FBG9912Z along KJE (Towards BKE) before sungei tengah/brickland rd exit (Lamp post #272) on the 8th December 2016 in between 4.15am to 4.52am.

    fatal-accident-at-kje-2

    It was believed that Police received a call from member of public informing of the accident at 4.52am and upon police arrival, his body was found on the ground. His helmet was nowhere to be found and I suspected that someone might have removed the Caberg duke flip up helmet (black) since it’s attached with a camera to run away with the evidence as there are only minor scratches found on the face. Police are still investigating the case and so far it’s being classified as a self skidded which my friends and myself refused to accept as he is a very safe rider and always cautious when riding his bike. He was on the way home from work and just few turns away from his destination.

    He left behind a wife and a 7 month’s old son. I will be grateful if any eyewitness who may have pass by during that time to step out to assist with investigation.

    I’ve attached a picture and the cut off area is where the body is found.

    For the culprit who stole his helmet, do believe in karma and I hope you will be caught and justice be served!!!

    Thanks guys!

  • Student Care Teacher Starts Donation Drive For Aceh Earthquake Victims

    Student Care Teacher Starts Donation Drive For Aceh Earthquake Victims

    Among the ruins, the survivors of a devastating earthquake in Aceh that killed more than 100 people face another day, and another nightmare.

    The victims of the 6.5-magnitude quake have no homes, no belongings and no hospital. They desperately need food, clean water, medication and blankets, Aceh local disaster agency chief Puteh Manaf told AFP.

    When Singaporean Nora Nurdin, 32, saw and read about their suffering, she was moved to act and started a donation drive. News of the quake also struck a chord with the student care teacher as her parents live in the Riau Islands. Her father, Dr Nurdin Basirun, is the governor there.

    She told The New Paper: “It has always been in me to want to give back to the less fortunate. I’ve contemplated it several times, but the quake felt like the right time for me to do my part.”

    The donation drive started with a simple Facebook post shared among her immediate family members.

    In the post, the items she listed included clothes, blankets and ready-to-eat food. She also listed her mobile number.

    Soon, her phone was ringing off the hook. When she first spoke to TNP yesterday afternoon, she had already received more than 40 calls.

    “I’m really very surprised because I didn’t expect this to blow up so quickly. From morning till now, I think I received more than 40 calls.”

    She asked interested donors to be patient as she tried to attend to every call as the response has been overwhelming.

    Madam Nora and her husband are still figuring out how to make sure the items reach the Aceh quake victims.

    The donation drive is a family effort – she will spend the next few evenings with her husband after work to collect the items from different families.

    The couple, who live in Sengkang, kicked off the first round of collection around the eastern part of Singapore last night at about 8pm. As of 10pm, they had collected 11 boxes and 10 bags of supplies.

    The plan is to get the items to arrive at Riau Islands, where her parents are based. The exact mode of shipping the items has not been firmed up yet, said Madam Nora.

    Meanwhile, her father is arranging for a plane to transport the supplies to Aceh, she said.

    When asked if it was tiring to juggle her work with coordinating a donation drive, the 32-year-old said without hesitation that it wasn’t.

    Instead, she is recharged and encouraged by the responses to her attempt to help others in need.

    “I like helping people. My parents have always taught me to put myself in the shoes of the less fortunate, to put others before ourselves. That’s why it’s never tiring,” she said.

    Other relief agencies are also helping.

    The Singapore Red Cross will pledge $50,000 and Mercy Relief sent a two-man disaster response team to Aceh to ascertain pressing needs and coordinate disaster relief efforts.

    The Singapore Civil Defence Force also sent two officers as part of a five-man Asean Emergency Response and Assessment Team.

  • Bigotry Haunts Indonesia

    Bigotry Haunts Indonesia

    The National Police have come under fire for failing to uphold the law in the face of intolerant actions by hard-line groups, which have become more assertive in the midst of rising conservatism in the country.

    In the past three days, the country has seen at least two incidents where hard-line Muslims intimidated people of other faiths and forced them to give in to their demands.

    A day after an Islamic group called the Ahlu Sunnah Defenders (PAS) in Bandung forced a Christian community to cancel a Christmas service on Tuesday, the Muslim People Forum (FUI) of Yogyakarta forced Duta Wacana Christian University (UKDW) to take down billboards that feature a student wearing a hijab on Wednesday.

    The billboards show three female students, one of whom is wearing a hijab, studying in a library as a symbol of religious pluralism on the campus. The billboards have stood for about three months in a number of spots in Yogyakarta, including one on the campus compound, to welcome prospective freshmen.

    It was not until Wednesday that the hard-line group claimed the billboards “insulted Islam”.

    UKDW rector Henry Feriadi said campus management had no choice but to bow to the demands of the hard-line group because the university did not want to create noise that could disrupt activities at the campus and in Yogyakarta.

    “The group said the billboards were misleading because it [hijab] is a symbol of Islam, and we did not ask permission from the mass organization to display such billboards. We never engage in proselytization [as accused] because we respect pluralism,” Henry told The Jakarta Post on Thursday.

    After the UKDW incident, other Christian universities in Yogyakarta fear they could be the next targets.

    Atmajaya University in Yogyakarta may take down a billboard depicting a student wearing a hijab on Jl. Urip Sumoharjo in the city. Meanwhile, the Catholic Sanata Dharma University in Yogyakarta is also on alert following circulating information on social media that the FUI will pay a visit because the campus has a similar billboard displayed in front of the university.

    The brazen acts of intimidation by hard-line groups has sparked concerns that the police are too soft in dealing with their antics.

    Setara Institute chairman Hendardi criticized the police for failing to uphold the law and instead acting as a mediator when handling acts of intolerance. “Sometimes the police get confused over what they need to do in such a situation, so they always bow to pressure from intolerant groups,” Hendardi said.

    The police should take firm action against intolerant groups, National Awakening Party (PKB) lawmaker Maman Imanulhaq said.

    “Those groups think they are free to do anything they want. That’s because law enforcers have never been firm,” he added.

    National Police spokesperson Insp. Gen. Boy Rafli Amar dismissed accusations that the force had bowed to hard-line groups and defended their approach of mediating conflicting parties rather than enforcing the law.

    “If the intolerant groups violate the law and move to conduct violence such as torture or destruction, they will be punished for sure.For now , mediation is important to find the root cause of the problems,” Boy said.

    Police have been under pressure from hard-line Islamic groups following the blasphemy accusation against Jakarta Governor Basuki “Ahok” Tjahaja Purnama.

    After speeding up the investigation into Ahok’s blasphemy case, the police are pushing the North Jakarta District Court to move the location of Ahok’s trial for fear that it could attract protesters, including hard-line groups, potentially triggering security problems.

    The court, however, has said that it may ignore the police’s recommendations.

  • 2 Remaja Korban Cuti Sekolah, Perah Keringat Untuk Siapkan 10,000 Makanan Percuma

    2 Remaja Korban Cuti Sekolah, Perah Keringat Untuk Siapkan 10,000 Makanan Percuma

    Sebanyak 10,000 bungkusan makanan halal akan diagihkan secara percuma untuk orang ramai tanpa mengira bangsa atau agama, di Masjid Angullia, Ahad ini (11 Dis).

    Anjuran ‘Free Food For All’ (FFFA) atau Makanan Percuma Untuk Semua, ia bertujuan menggalak masyarakat memupuk sifat ihsan dan saling bantu-membantu, tidak kira latar belakang.

    Sekurang-kurangnya 120 sukarelawan akan menggembleng tenaga untuk membantu dalam persiapan dan pengagihan makanan itu.

    Antara sukarelawan bagi projek tersebut termasuklah sepasang remaja bernama Faza Nadhirah dan Hannah Sofeah.

    HABISKAN CUTI SEKOLAH DENGAN PENUH MAKNA

    Sedang ramai anak muda bersuka ria sewaktu cuti sekolah, pasangan adik-beradik Faza dan Hannah pula berhempas pulas menyediakan 10,000 bungkusan makanan bagi tujuan yang murni.

    Apabila diberitahu oleh ibu mereka tentang inisiatif yang dianjurkan ‘Free Food For All’, Faza Nadhirah dan adiknya, Hannah Sofeah, menyuarakan minat untuk terlibat sama.

    Kerja-kerja sukarela sebegini sebenarnya tidak asing lagi buat Hannah Sofeah.

    Sejak kecil lagi, dia dan kakaknya giat membantu ibu mereka menyampaikan cek kepada anak-anak penagih, di bawah Dana Pendidikan Harun Ghani (HGEF).

    Pada awalnya, mereka menjadi sukarelawan dengan membahagi-bahagikan borang penyertaan dan pena. Kemudian setelah meningkat dewasa, mereka menguruskan hal mentadbir dan logistik seperti menyaring borang-borang penyertaan dan menyemak butiran tertulis pada cek. Namun, kerja sukarela kali ini nyata berbeza.

    Mereka bakal berhabis keringat dengan mengerahkan tulang empat kerat, demi menghulurkan bungkusan makanan kepada orang ramai daripada pelbagai latar belakang, selaku sukarelawan FFFA.

    “Sebelum ini, saya selalu membuat kerja kertas atau menyampaikan wang kepada keluarga-keluarga miskin. Tetapi kali ini, saya dapat memasak, membungkus makanan dan memberikan makanan itu,” kongsi Hannah Sofeah yang berusia 14 tahun.

    “Projek ini mengajar saya untuk menjadi lebih bersyukur dengan apa yang saya ada,” tambahnya lagi.

    KURANG DAYA PENDENGARAN, TAPI KAYA SEMANGAT MEMBANTU

    Bagi kakaknya, Faza Nadhirah pula, pengalaman yang diraih daripada melakukan kerja-kerja kemasyarakatan anjuran kolejnya di New Zealand membawa kesedaran tentang perihal semangat kesukarelawanan di sini.

    Mentelah lagi, keadaan beliau yang kurang daya pendengaran sejak usia dua tahun, mendorongnya untuk membawa keceriaan kepada golongan memerlukan.

    “Mungkin pada masa depan saya ingin menolong kanak-kanak kurang upaya kerana saya sendiri kurang daya pendengaran,” kata Faza Nadhirah, yang berusia 17 tahun.

    Kedua-dua adik-beradik ini akan turun padang menyingsing lengan bagi menyediakan 10,000 bungkusan Nasi Beriyani di bawah inisiatif ‘Free Food For All’ (FFFA).

    Orang ramai dijemput untuk menikmati juadah itu bersama-sama di Masjid Angullia pada Ahad ini.
