    Peniaga East Village Promosi Kedai Dan Barang Jualan Satu Sama Lain

    Apakah yang boleh dilakukan para peniaga runcit di pusat beli-belah, untuk terus bertahan dalam sekitaran ekonomi yang mencabar sekarang ini?

    Bagi sekitar 70 peratus peruncit di pusat beli-belah East Village, mereka saling mempromosikan kedai dan barang jualan antara satu sama lain.

    BERITAMediacorp mendapati bahawa pelbagai lagi strategi gotong-royong dilaksanakan para peruncit di East Village demi terus merancakkan perniagaan mereka.

    Sebanyak 100 kedai ditempatkan di pusat beli-belah yang terletak di Simpang Bedok itu, dan sekitar 80 peratus dimiliki peniaga Melayu/Islam.

    Malah, ia semakin dikenali sebagai pusat sehenti bagi karyawan wanita Muslim.

    SEMANGAT KAMPUNG KIAN RANCAK

    Tinjauan BERITAMediacorp menunjukkan, semangat kampung di salah satu hab perniagaan itu semakin rancak. Pihak kami diberitahu, langkah para peruncit di situ mempromosikan perniagaan satu sama lain, semakin membuahkan hasil ekonomi.

    Pemilik Balqis the Bistro, Junainah Jumari, berkata: “Kami adakan Jualan Kilat, kolaborasi oleh 70 peratus peniaga-peniaga di sini sepanjang bulan Disember. Itu untuk menyegarkan dan untuk menarik lebih ramai orang datang ke sini, sebab kebelakangan ini agak sunyi sekali di sini.”

    Apabila tiga jenama makanan dan minuman (F&B) besar di East Village gulung tikar, ia ternyata memberi peluang kepada peniaga-peniaga baru berjinak-jinak dengan perniagaan runcit.

    Antara muka baru adalah peniaga generasi kedua, Muhammad Abdul Kadir, yang gigih memikirkan strategi gotong-royong untuk saling memakmurkan perniagaan di situ.

    Pemilik bersama Et Taher itu berkata: “Kalau pelanggan beli barang dengan saya, belanja berapa jumlah, mereka akan dapat baucar dari Karva. Kalau mereka belanja dengan saya, boleh dapat potongan 10 peratus di Balqis. Jadi kita sama-sama maju.”

    Setiap peniaga di East Village mempunyai pelanggan tetap masing-masing menerusi promosi di lelaman sosial.

    Cik Junainah berkata: “Dalam keadaan ekonomi yang lembab ini, di Balqis sendiri saya lebih tumpukan pada khidmat penghantaran dan juga kami sedang berusaha untuk menjual produk beku. Kunafa beku.”

    Encik Muhammad pula berkata: “Sewaktu jualan murah itu juga, ramai yang cakap, oh mereka kali pertama. Tidak tahu di dalam sini ada ramai peniaga Melayu.”

    PUSAT SEHENTI BAGI KARYAWAN WANITA

    Dengan bertambahnya jumlah berbagai butik fesyen Muslimah, tudung eksklusif, spa, salon rambut, minyak wangi, kedai buku pendidikan awal kanak-kanak dan sebagainya, East Village kini menempah nama sebagai pusat sehenti bagi karyawan wanita.

    Sambil berbelanja, mereka boleh memanjakan diri di spa dan menjamu selera dengan pelbagai kafe dan restoran di bawah satu bumbung.

  • Adam Swandi Must Buckle Down

    Adam Swandi Must Buckle Down

    Making his international debut for the Lions aged 17 years and 143 days, Adam Swandi was touted as the next big thing in Singapore football.

    In 2013, The New Paper Dollah Kassim Award winner jetted off to France for a two-year stint with FC Metz.

    Today, the 20-year-old, capped four times by Singapore, is at a crossroads after leaving the Garena Young Lions to join Home United, his first senior S.League club, along with 19-year-old Irfan Fandi Ahmad.

    The forward, known for his dribbling skills, tricks and flicks at youth level, is not a shoo-in for Richard Tardy’s SEA Games squad next August.

    The 66-year-old Frenchman told The New Paper: “For players like Adam and Amirul Adli who have played for the national team at senior level two years ago, we expect more.

    “Perhaps they thought ahead of themselves and I wasn’t happy with their performances last season.

    “There is a possibility that they have changed their thinking and they now want to show more and fight more.

    “At the other clubs, coaches are mostly concerned with results and if these players are mostly on the bench and don’t have enough playing time, they may miss the SEA Games.

    “We will monitor the progress of the players. I have a list of about 30 players for the SEA Games.

    “In my mind, I have about 80 per cent of the final squad. The door is open both ways for the last 20 per cent – players can fall out or force their way in.”

  • Muslims Lambast Christmas Service Raid In Bandung

    Muslims Lambast Christmas Service Raid In Bandung

    The country’s largest Muslim organizations have vowed to help protect Christians across the country ahead of Christmas, in the wake of the latest intolerant act by hardliners against a Christian community in West Java’s provincial capital of Bandung.

    The Reformed Injili Indonesia Church was forced to cancel a Christmas service at the Sasana Budaya Ganesha (Sabuga), a popular auditorium in Bandung, on Tuesday after a number of people calling themselves the Ahlu Sunnah Defenders (PAS) stormed into the building and broke up the service.

    The protestors claimed the event to be “illegal” because it was held at a public facility.

    The incident took place amid widespread religious tension centering on the blasphemy case levelled against Jakarta Governor Basuki “Ahok” Tjahja Purnama.

    The country’s largest Muslim organization Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) lashed out at PAS for its brutal action and asked the government “to dissolve such an anti-pluralist organization”.

    NU said its youth wing Barisan Ansor Serbaguna (Banser) across the country would help ensure Christians could peacefully prepare for and celebrate Christmas.

    “Banser members will be at the forefront of protecting Christian fellow citizens while conducting prayers and activities ahead of Christmas. This is in the name of tolerance,” NU deputy secretary-general Imam Pituduh told The Jakarta Post on Wednesday.

    Imam called on the government to investigate the motivation behind PAS’ disruption of the Christmas service in order to ensure the protection of minority groups.

    Similarly, Muhammadiyah, the country’s second-largest Islamic organization, said it would intensify interfaith dialogue.

    Muhammadiyah Youth chairman Dahnil Simanjuntak said hard-line groups were also encouraged to participate in the discussions.

    “They are just a few [groups]. There are a lot more Muslims who are more tolerant out there,” he told the Post.

    Muhammadiyah has an interfaith program called “Clean, Pray and Love” (CPL) which encourages young people to engage in interfaith activities such as cleaning houses of worship, including churches and mosques.

    The National Police said they would deploy a total of 155,000 personnel across the country from Dec. 23 to Jan. 2, 2017.

    Bandung Mayor Ridwan Kamil said that the disrupted Christmas service was legal.

    “We deplore the intimidation by the organization, which is inappropriate and disrespectful to the spirit of Bhineka Tunggal Ika [unity in diversity, the National Philosophy],” Ridwan said, adding that he was on a visit to Jakarta when the incident took place.

    West Java Governor Ahmad Heryawan, however, said the intolerant act was something that people “should not be worried about”.

    “It’s just a minor incident,” said the Islam-based Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) politician.

    Setara Institute chairman Hendardi said the recent large-scale anti-Ahok rallies could have emboldened intolerant groups.

    Hendardi urged the authorities to bring the perpetrators of the Bandung incident to justice. “Otherwise, similar incidents could happen ahead of Christmas,” he said.

    The Religious Affairs Ministry said the Bandung incident had inspired it to draft an article in the protection of religious followers bill, still being drawn up by the ministry, which will stipulate criminal charges for individuals and organizations that disrupt public religious activities.

    The committee of the canceled Christmas service said in a statement that it had acquired all necessary permits.

    “We regret the disruption by a number of people who represented an organization, and that the police failed to protect the dignity of the state and the constitution,” the statement said.

  • Angka Korban Gempa Aceh Kini Melepasi 100 Orang; 14 Masjid Turut Mengalami Kerosakan

    Angka Korban Gempa Aceh Kini Melepasi 100 Orang; 14 Masjid Turut Mengalami Kerosakan

    Angka korban akibat gempa bumi kuat yang melanda Aceh di Sumatera, Indonesia meningkat kepada 102 orang, kata pihak berkuasa hari ini (8 Dis).

    Gempa sekuat 6.5 magnitud melanda wilayah itu pagi semalam, menyebabkan banyak bangunan dan rumah di daerah Pidie Jaya roboh. 85 daripada 102 mangsa sudah dikenal pasti, menurut Agensi Mencari dan Menyelamat Nasional Indonesia (BASARNAS) dalam satu sidang media.

    Ia turut mendedahkan bahawa 14 masjid mengalami kerosakan akibat bencana alam itu.

    Agensi tersebut menambah ia belum meminta bantuan antarabangsa untuk membantu usaha menyelamat kerana keadaan itu masih boleh ditangani di peringkat nasional – sambil menambah bahawa terdapat keperluan yang mendesak bagi bekalan makanan, pakaian kanak-kanak dan ubat-ubatan.

    BASARNAS menyatakan operasi mencari dan menyelamat akan diteruskan sepanjang “tempoh penting” ini, iaitu selama tujuh hari – tempoh genting untuk menarik keluar orang yang terperangkap di bawah runtuhan bangunan.

    Lebih 1,000 askar dan sekitar 900 pegawai polis dikerahkan ke kawasan-kawasan yang paling teruk terjejas untuk membangunkan tempat perlindungan sementara, kata seorang pegawai tempatan.

    “Bekalan elektrik masih terputus. Beberapa tempat sudah dipasang dengan mesin penjana kuasa, tetapi banyak lagi tempat yang memerlukannya,” kata ketua agensi bencana tempatan Puteh Manaf kepada AFP.

    “Jika hujan, kami khuatir penyakit akan menular.”

  • Two World Silat Golds For Singapore

    Two World Silat Golds For Singapore

    Singapore won two gold medals on the final day of the World Pencak Silat Championships in Bali, today (Thursday).

    Sheik Farhan outclassed Vietnam’s Mach Quoc Hung 5-0 in the men’s Class J (90-95kg) final, while Shakir Juanda recovered from an early setback to win the Class I (85-90kg) final.

    Both Singaporeans are now two-time world champions of their respective weight classes. Farhan, who turns 20 next Friday, had triumphed in Phuket almost two years ago, while 28-year-old Shakir won the gold medal in Chiang Rai in 2012.

    This is the first time since 2004 – when the world championship was hosted in Singapore – that the Republic’s silat exponents have delivered more than one gold medal at the global meet, which features 41 countries.

    A jubliant Singapore Silat Federation chief executive officer Sheik Alau’ddin told The New Paper over the phone: “Farhan had no problems with his match. Shakir lost the first and second rounds – he got tossed to the mat when he attempted his first kick – but had a revival in the third round and scored enough to win the match overall.

    “Overall I’m very happy because of the performance of athletes and the team behind them… Everyone has been excellent.”

    With their wins, Shakir and Farhan — who is Sheik’s son — have matched the the silat great for world titles which he won in 1990 and 1994.

    Thoughts will now turn to seeing if they can match or even surpass Sheik’s four SEA Games golds (won in 1991, 1993, 1995 and 1999).
