    Yaacob Ibrahim: MUIS Kumpul $300 Dari Setiap Jemaah Singapura Untuk Tampung Kos Misi Haji

    Dalam jawapan bertulisnya pula, Dr Yaacob berkata Muis mengumpulkan $300 dari setiap jemaah untuk menampung kos operasi misi Haji.

    Ini termasuk menyediakan khidmat perubatan dan kebajikan kepada para jemaah.

    Bayaran itu termasuk dalam harga pakej haji.

    Dr Yaacob menerangkan, yuran $300 yang dikumpulkan Muis dari setiap jemaah, tertera sebagai ‘Kos Perubatan dan Pentadbiran’ dalam harga pakej haji yang ditawarkan oleh pihak GSA.

    Menurutnya, yuran itu membentuk sebahagian kecil daripada harga keseluruhan pakej haji yang dibayar setiap jemaah iaitu antara $7,000 hingga $18,000.

    Bagaimanapun Dr Yaacob menambah, jumlah yuran itu sahaja tidak menampung sepenuhnya kos Muis untuk perkhidmatan perubatan dan kebajikan, iaitu sebanyak $700 bagi setiap jemaah, sejak 3 tahun lalu.

  • SMRT Train Driver Involved In Fatal Accident Resulting In Deaths Of Two Colleagues Fired

    SMRT Train Driver Involved In Fatal Accident Resulting In Deaths Of Two Colleagues Fired

    Transport operator SMRT Corp has fired the train driver who was involved in a fatal track accident that killed two of his colleagues in March.

    The Straits Times understands that Mr Rahmat Mohd, 49, was dismissed yesterday after an internal disciplinary inquiry.

    Mr Rahmat, who was reassigned to a non-driving job after the accident, said he felt “sad” about the company’s decision. “I’ve no plans at the moment,” he added.

    Sources said an operations control centre staff member had also left earlier on account of the incident.

    SMRT spokesman Patrick Nathan said the company does not comment on staff disciplinary measures.

    National Transport Workers’ Union executive secretary Melvin Yong said: “NTWU understands that SMRT has taken action to dismiss two workers related to the incident on March 22. NTWU has previously written to SMRT to withhold any actions against the affected workers until completion of official investigations so as to not prejudice the outcome of the official investigations. We will now review the situation, study the grounds for SMRT dismissal, and work with the affected staff on the next steps.”

    Two SMRT maintenance workers were killed while they were on an East-West Line track near Pasir Ris station on the morning of March 22. Mr Nasrulhudin Najumudin, 26, and Mr Muhammad Asyraf Ahmad Buhari, 24, were hit by an oncoming train while they were undergoing on-the-job training.

    The two men were part of a group of 15 sent to investigate a possible fault with a track equipment.

    SMRT said in April – after an internal probe into the tragedy – that failure to follow safety measures had led to the accident.

    Lapses included allowing a train to ply in automatic mode while workers were on site, not deploying watchmen to look out for approaching trains, and failing to provide early warning to the work team.

    The Ministry of Manpower had also called on the operator to tighten its safety procedures a week after the fatal incident. A coroner’s inquiry into the accident is expected to convene early next year.

  • Indonesia Ulema Council Issues Haram Fatwa Against Illegal Land Clearing

    Indonesia Ulema Council Issues Haram Fatwa Against Illegal Land Clearing

    RELIGIOUS authorities in Indonesia have declared the burning of land forbidden among Muslims in a fatwa or edict aimed at curbing illegal land clearing.

    According to Channel News Asia, the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) issued the fatwa in its bid to influence social change as part of a moral movement.

    “The act of burning forests and land, which can cause damage, environmental pollution, economic losses, affect health, and other negative impacts is haram (forbidden),” Professor Huzaemah Yanggo, chairperson for fatwa from the Indonesian Ulema Council, was quoted as saying.

    Huzaeman, who was speaking at a media conference on Tuesday, said the council was confident that the ruling can help change attitudes towards the illegal burning of land.

    The council denounced the traditional practice, saying it goes against Islamic teachings, and instructed clerics and religious teachers to spread the message.

    Indonesia’s Environment and Forestry Ministry had in January asked the council to explore the possibility of issuing the ruling on forest fires.

    The request led the council to conduct research and assessments before issuing the edict this week.

    Prior to the decision, the council consulted various stakeholders and referred to verses in the Koran to substantiate the fatwa.

    “We understand that material punishment is not enough, what more with formal punishment. What is more important is moral (pressure),” Indonesia’s Environment and Forestry Minister Siti Nurbaya Bakar said.

    Last year’s fires were the worst since 1997, spreading across over 261,000 hectares (2,610 square kilometers).

    Haze largely caused by illegal slash-and-burn agricultural policies in Indonesia has affected the Southeast Asian region annually for decades.

    Uncontrolled burning from fires in Riau, South Sumatra, and Kalimantan causes the smoke to spread hundreds of kilometers across the region to Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines, resulting in major deterioration in air quality levels, health problems, and economic losses.

    However, the Indonesian government has been taking proactive steps to reduce the number of fires by 75 percent from last year as there were only 2,256 fires this year compared to 8,247 between Jan and Aug 2015.

    Idham Ahmad: Sudah Masanya MUIS Dan AVA Timbangkan Ceburi Bidang Agrotech Untuk Tangani Masalah Penjejasan Sumber Bekal Daging Halal

    Salam .Tadi saya terbaca laporan 121 ekor kambing mati dalam perjalanan dari Ireland ke Singapura. Ini bukanlah jumlah yang kecil seperti yang selalunya, Hal ini amat menyedihkan.

    Soalan yang timbul di fikiran saya adalah KENAPA HARUS JKMS MENCARI SUMBER KAMBING YANG AMAT JAUH SEKALI HINGGA KE EROPAH ?

    Saya difahamkan bahawa sepanjang tahun lalu , pegawai-pegawai JKMS telah dihantar ke Australia , Kanada dan Ireland untuk mencari sumber binatang yang akan diterbangkan ke Singapura. Jauhnya perjalanan dari Eropah ke Singapura dalam kandang amat membebankan dan memberi tekanan stress pada kambing-kambing itu. Maka , tidak menghairankan jika 121 ekor telah mati dalam perjalanan.
    Ibadah korban adalah sesuatu yang amat sensitif di kalangan masyarakat Muslim di sini. Ianya suatu ibadah yang telah dijalankan dengan secara tradisional sejak turun-temurun. Tindakan Australia untuk mengenakan sistem piawaian Exporter Supply Chain Assurance System (ESCAS) pada kesemua negara yang ingin mengekspot binatang dari negara tersebut telah menjejas sumber kambing-kambing di Nusantara. Mahu tidak mahu , negara-negara seperti Malaysia, Indonesia , Brunei dan Singapura terpaksa akur dengan sistem piawaian ini. Singapura juga terikat dengan perjanjian yang telah ditandatangani dengan OIE.

    Diwaktu sebuah krisis ketandusan sumber kambing, Pak Abdul Hakeem Mohd Ismail dan saya telah mengusulkan sebuah saranan pada pihak MUIS . Mungkin sudah tiba masanya MUIS mengambil langkah proaktif mengatasi masalah ini dengan menceburi sendiri bidang agro-tech. Dengan sokongan individu yang pada ketika menceburi bidang agrofeed dan beberapa tenaga pakar Australia dan pihak AVA Singapura, kami mengusulkan agar pihak MUIS membina sebuah ladang ternakan lembu dan kambing di salah sebuah pulau di Kepulauan Riau Indonesia. Apatah lagi , pihak AVA sudahpun memberi kerjasama dalam membina sebuah ladang ternakan khinzir di Pulau Boelan , Indonesia. Dari survey yang telah kami jalanlan , pihak pemerintah Republik Indonesia juga amat berminat dalam proyek ini. Ianya dilihat sebagai sebuah sinergi yang bagus sekali. Indonesia mempunyai tanah dan Singapura pula mempunyai kepakaran untuk membina ladang ternakan taraf antarabangsa sesuai piawaian ESCAS dan OEI.

    Ladang Ternakan tersebut juga akan dibangunkan sebuah abbatoir atau tempat penyembelihan halal . Selain dari menjadi sumber haiwan korban ke seluruh Nusantara , ladang ini juga akan berupaya untuk menambah supply daging fresh yang halallan thoyibban ke Singapura bahkan ke seluruh Nusantara.

    AVA akan dapat sebuah tempat untuk melatih pelajar-pelajarnya secara praktikal. Singapore Poly, NTU dan NUS akan dapat tempat untuk melatih pelajar-pelajarnya. Indonesia akan dapat tenaga kepakaran dan menaik taraf ladang-ladang yang sedia ada di seluruh Indonesia. Singapura akan menjadi pengekport daging halalan thoyyiban unggul.

    Malangnya usulan itu tidak kesampaian atas sebab-sebab yang kurang disenangi,

    Mungkin pihak pemerintah Singapura dan yang berwenang di MUIS boleh menimbangkan kembali usulan kami itu .

    Saya senantiasa menanti lamaran berunding walaupun dah beberapa kali terhantuk di pintu Islamic Hub …

  • WP: Paralympians Should Receive Same Prize Awards As Able-Bodied Counterparts

    WP: Paralympians Should Receive Same Prize Awards As Able-Bodied Counterparts

    The Workers’ Party would like to congratulate our paralympians Yip Pin Xiu and Theresa Goh for clinching Singapore’s first gold medal and a bronze medal at the Rio Paralympic Games. Ms. Yip broke her own world record by more than two seconds.

    Our paralympians deserve the same respect and value as our able-bodied athletes. To compete at the pinnacle of one’s sport demands dedication, sacrifice, discipline, and an indomitable fighting spirit. Our paralympians embody these values and are an inspiration to all Singaporeans.

    Our paralympians demonstrate what we can achieve as an inclusive sporting nation. The smaller pool of competitors at the Games should not be reason to deny our paralympians the recognition and compensation that is due to them. It is only right that they should receive equal treatment as any Singaporean athlete who competes at the highest international levels.

    For their equally important and inspiring achievements, the Workers’ Party calls for our national para-swimmers to receive the same prize awards from the Singapore National Olympics Council as their able-bodied counterparts.
