    Anak Melayu, Mohd Fahmi Aliman, Dinaikkan Pangkat, Kini Jadi Kolonel

    Seorang askar Melayu Mohd Fahmi Aliman, dinaikkan pangkat menjadi seorang Kolonel (COL) bermula esok (1 Jul). Beliau yang kini berpangkat Leftenan Kolonel Kanan (SLTC), merupakan Komander bagi Pusat Penilaian Latihan Tentera (ATEC).

    Kenaikan pangkat beliau itu didedahkan dalam Majlis Kenaikan Pangkat Mindef/SAF hari ini.

    Ini juga bermakna, mulai esok SAF mempunyai dua pegawai Melayu sepenuh masa yang berpangkat Kolonel, iaitu pegawai Melayu tertinggi dalam angkatan tentera yang sedang bertugas. Sekaligus ada sekurang-kurangnya dua pegawai Melayu SAF sepenuh masa sekarang, yang berpotensi menjadi Jeneral pada masa depan.

    Seorang lagi Kolonel ialah COL Zakir Hamid dari Angkatan Udara Singapura (RSAF) yang mendapat pangkat tersebut tahun lalu.

    COL Zakir kini seorang Komander bagi Kumpulan Pengangkutan RSAF.

    Di majlis kenaikan pangkat petang tadi, seorang pegawai waran iaitu 1WO Ahmad Ali, dinaikkan pangkat kepada Pegawai Waran Master (MWO).

    COL MOHD FAHMI ALIMAN

    COL Mohd Fahmi tiada di majlis kenaikan pangkat yang diadakan di Kementerian Pertahanan (Mindef) petang tadi kerana sedang menjalani latihan di luar negara.

    Dalam wawancara menerusi telefon, beliau yang berusia 43 tahun berkata, beliau mula menjadi Komander ATEC sejak tahun lalu.

    Tugas beliau ialah melaksanakan penilaian yang realistik dan mencabar untuk semua unit-unit SAF.

    Beliau kini juga memegang jawatan sebagai seorang Komander Briged Infantri, dan sudah bertugas dalam SAF selama 24 tahun.

    Ditanya komen beliau mengenai kenaikan pangkatnya, COL Fahmi berkata ini suatu penghormatan dan kebanggaan kepada beliau dan keluarganya.

    Ini juga beliau anggap sebagai cerminan sejauh mana SAF percaya kepada sumbangan beliau, dan memberi amanah untuk beliau membantu membangunkan SAF.

    COL Fahmi berkata: “Yang lebih penting adalah untuk pertahanan Singapura, setiap kita mempunyai tanggungjawab kita sendiri, sama ada kita dalam pasukan keselamatan atau kita seorang kakitangan awam, semua ada tanggungjawab sendiri. Itu pada saya amat penting. Itu yang menjadikan satu motivasi untuk saya terus bekerja lebih gigih lagi dalam SAF.”

    Kini dengan pangkat Kolonel, beliau berkata pengaruhnya akan lebih besar lagi, untuk menaikkan mutu sumbangannya.

    COL Fahmi berazam untuk terus memberikan yang terbaik untuk SAF. Beliau malah berikrar menyumbang demi “menaikkan taraf SAF di dunia”.

    BUKAN UNTUK DAPAT DUIT LEBIH ATAU GLAMOUR

    Sebagai seorang ayah, beliau mempunyai empat orang anak berusia antara 6 hingga 19 tahun, manakala isterinya bekerja sebagai seorang guru sekolah menengah.

    Walaupun sentiasa dihantui kesibukan, COL Fahmi berkata keluarga beliau memberi segenap sokongan.

    COL Fahmi menasihatkan anak-anak Melayu yang berminat dengan kerjaya tentera supaya ada komitmen yang tinggi, minat yang tinggi dan cita-cita yang tinggi untuk cemerlang dalam bidang ketenteraan.

    Ini tegas beliau suatu kerjaya yang diceburi “bukan untuk dapat duit lebih atau glamour”.

    Beliau turut melahirkan rasa positif bahawa pada masa depan “kita akan ada lebih ramai anak muda Melayu berpendidikan dan berwawasan dalam angkatan tentera”.

  • Public Car Park Charges To Increase From December

    Public Car Park Charges To Increase From December

    Starting from December, it will be more expensive to park at public car parks in Singapore, with rates for short-term and season parking to rise.

    The new rates were announced in a press release issued by Housing and Development Board (HDB) and Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) on Thursday (Jun 30).

    For public car parks outside of the restricted zone or outside designated areas close to the restricted zone, the parking charge will be raised by S$0.10 from S$0.50 to S$0.60 per half-hour. This applies to most residential areas in Singapore.

    For public car parks within the restricted zone or within designated areas close to the restricted zone, the parking charge will increase by S$0.20 from S$1 to S$1.20 per half hour.

    Season parking rates in HDB car parks will be raised as well. Season parking for the first car will increase by S$15 for surface car parks from S$65 to S$80 per month, and S$20 for sheltered car parks from S$90 to S$110 per month.

    For non-residents buying a season parking pass or residents getting season parking for a second and subsequent parking lot, the rate will increase by S$25 for surface car parks to S$90 per month and by S$30 for sheltered car parks to S$120 per month.

    There will be no revision to the parking charges for motorcycles as they were revised when per-minute charging and Concessionary Season Parking Ticket for motorcycles were introduced in July 2014 and January 2015, respectively, HDB and URA said.

    From Dec 1, 2016, motorists using public car parks will have to use new coupons with the revised rates. The new coupons will be available for sale at HDB Branches/Service Centres, the URA Centre and coupon agents (e.g. all petrol stations, 7-11 outlets etc) from early October 2016.

    Motorists can exchange their unused old parking coupons for new ones from early October 2016 onwards, by topping up the difference in value.

    The last islandwide revision of car parking charges by HDB and URA was done 14 years ago in 2002, HDB and URA said.

    “Over this period, the costs of building, operating and managing car parks have increased due to general inflation, as well as construction, manpower and other related maintenance costs. Car park charges have not kept pace with these cost increases. Therefore revisions are needed to ensure proper cost recovery,” the agencies said.

    Damanhuri Abas: A United Malay Community Will Bring Out The Best In The Community Itself

    In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. A blessed gathering in a blessed month during the most blessed period on the night of the last 3rd of the month of Ramadan.

    A simple graceful event bringing cross party representatives of the Malay community exploring collaboration and synergy to offer alternative and complementing approaches in addressing economic, educational and social challenges faced by the Malay community in Singapore. A pledge of commitment to serve the interest of the Malay community and celebrate the community’s strength in full cognizant of a multi-racial, multi-cultural and multi-religious Singapore. So much potential and opportunity when we focus on what unify us and our inherent strength within, rather than adopt a partisan antagonistic attitude.

    The Malay community today is blessed with many capable and talented groups and individuals from all strata of the community and the wider society eager to come forward to contribute towards the growth and prosperity of the community. Several have already begun and made amazing contributions and sacrifices to help the vulnerable and lesser off in the community.

    A vision of a strong and vibrant Malay community with deep rootedness to our culture and history yet progressive, embracing the diverse talents from all segments of the community from the Professionals, the Small businesses, to the Youth, the people in Arts and all ranks and file of the community. Harnessing the best within to produce the best the community can offer itself and the wider Singapore society. Majulah Singapura untuk Semua.

  • Morocco: Jews, Christians, And Muslims Help The Poor In Ramadan

    Morocco: Jews, Christians, And Muslims Help The Poor In Ramadan

    In what sounds like a page ripped out of novel, several dozen Muslim activists, a group of Jewish teens and a rabbi joined forces on Sunday in a number of Moroccan cities to supply 1,500 underprivileged Muslim families with food staples for the daily meal that marks the end of each daily fast during Ramadan.

    The food packages were a three-way partnership organized by the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, founded and directed by Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein; Chabad-Lubavitch of Morocco; and the Mimouna Association, an organization of Moroccan Muslim students who work to preserve and promote the unique heritage of Morocco’s ancient Jewish community.

    “We are privileged to help support Moroccans in need celebrate the holy month of Ramadan,” said Eckstein. “This inspiring joint initiative serves as a shining model of bridge-building between Christians, Jews and Muslims, and shows that the world’s faith communities can unite around shared values to make a difference for good.”

    Rabbi Levi Banon of Jeunesse ChabadMorocco led a group of teens from the local Chabad and volunteers from Mimouna to the poorest areas in the cities of Kenitra, Rabat and Sale to distribute the food.

    “This is a beautiful display of how people from different faiths can get together to do something positive,” said Laziza Dalil, a member of Mimouna. “We are now two weeks into Ramadan, and some of these families may not have the most basic supplies with which to break the fast.”

    Each box contains dates, tea, lentils, chickpeas and other food staples with which Muslims traditionally break their Ramadan fasts each evening.

    This year’s distribution follows the successful pilot program last year, in which 250 packages were delivered. According to Dalil, some of the recipients were taken aback to discover that the gift was brought to them by people outside of the Muslim faith, but “they really did not care. They were touched by the human gesture of caring, and the fact that people thought about them and their families.”

    “It was such a wonderful gesture that really brought out the best in people,” noted Banon. “It is touching to see that charity that has been done in other parts of the world though the IFCJ is now being felt in the Muslim world, especially beginning in Morocco, a country of tolerance and peace.”

    Putus Kaki, Tangan Digilis Kereta Api Bagi Pasangan Yang Bercumbu Di Landasan

    Sepasang belia yang sedang hangat bercinta maut dilanggar kereta api semasa mereka sedang berasmara.

    Dalam insiden yang berlaku di Kecamatan Lubuk Kilangan Kota Padang, Sumatera Barat, pasangan itu dilanggar kereta api yang mengangkut simen pada sebelah pagi semalam (26 Jun).

    “Insiden itu berlaku sekitar pukul 5.30 pagi. Jalam masih gelap dan pemandu kereta api tidak dapat melihat ada orang di landasan maka terus memandu laju setelah melanggar mereka,” kata seorang saksi, Masril, seperti yang ditukil Antara.

    Kedua-dua mangsa sudah dibawa ke hospital.

    Akibat pelanggaran itu mangsa lelaki, berusia 17 tahun, putus sebelah kaki sementara mangsa wanita pula, berusia 16 tahun, putus sebelah tangannya.

    Menurut Masril, sejak tiga hari lalu, beliau sudahpun mengingatkan pasangan kekasih berkenaan supaya tidak berdua-duaan sedemikian dalam bulan Ramadan, lebih-lebih lagi mereka sering bertemu pada waktu subuh.

    “Saya sudah mengingatkan mereka namun tidak diendahkan sehingga mereka ditimpa kemalangan seperti ini,” ujar Masril.
