    Asian Prisons Lockdown Challenge Participant: ASP Raizaluddin Abdul Razak – Always Prepared

    At the recent Asian Prisons Lockdown Challenge (APLC) 2016, we met up with Assistant Superintendent of Prisons (ASP2) Muhammad Raizaluddin Bin Abdul Razak from Cluster C. A first-time participant this year, he shared with us his experiences and challenges faced in the event.

    In order to qualify as a contestant, ASP Raizaluddin shared that one has to first register their interest before undergoing a stringent selection round. Following that, they would have to engage in weekly trainings to prepare for the events.

    Some of the challenges ASP Raizaluddin faced while training were the long training hours, incorporating physical and tactical trainings as well as being able to find a common time where each participant could train together as a team. With conflicting schedules in their shifts, training still went on even in the middle of the day when the sun is hottest.

    Despite the obstacles faced, ASP Raizaluddin learnt a lot from his experience. He shared that one of his key takeaways APLC is to “Always be prepared, and to expect the unexpected; scenarios can change in various ways… but the most important thing is to be ready when it happens.”

    Congratulations to ASP Raizaluddin and his team for their efforts in APLC 2016, and for their constant vigilance towards keeping Singapore safe and secure!

  • Together We Stand – Wear White For Family

    Together We Stand – Wear White For Family

    We.Wear.White | Saturday, June 4 | Sunday, June 5

    Why Wear White? Because it is a pro-Family, pro-Government, pro-Singapore message!

    1. It is a message to our Government that we fully support its pro-Family policies. We reinforce the important role of Family in nation-building. Guó Jiā. Guó means country. Jiā means family. The Family is the basic building block of society. As the Family goes, so goes society, so goes the nation. We pledge to work with our government to build a Family of Nation-Builders and a Nation of Family-Builders.

    2. It is a message to the Church that we must arise and move as one on our convictions regarding personal purity and public morality, Marriage and Family. Howard Hendricks said: “A belief is something you will argue about. A conviction is something you will die for.”

    3. It is a message to the Press and Society at large that the Church’s stance on heterosexual Marriage and the Natural Family is in keeping with the core value of Singapore’s conservative majority. We signal to the younger generation our commitment to preserve the Pioneer Generation’s legacy of Family according to “the mainstream views and values of Singapore society, where the social norm consists of the married heterosexual family unit.”

    4. It is a message to LGBT activists that there is a conservative majority in Singapore who will push back and will not allow them to promote their homosexual lifestyle and liberal ideologies that openly and outrightly contradict our laws, our government’s stated policies, our national core values, and the conservative majority’s views on public morality, Marriage and Family.

    Remember, this is not a protest. This is a message. An important message representing the conservative majority of Singapore. Will you lead by example?

    “I will give them singleness of heart and action, so that they will always fear me and that all will then go well for them and for their children after them.” (Jeremiah 32:39)

  • Hot Weather Means More Expensive Vegetables And Coconuts

    Hot Weather Means More Expensive Vegetables And Coconuts

    JOHOR BARU — Consumers in Singapore can expect to pay more for vegetables from Malaysia and coconuts from Thailand, as the hot weather and lack of rain caused by the El Nino phenomenon continue to hurt crop production in the region and push up prices.

    Federation of Malaysian Vegeta­ble Farmers’ Association president Tan So Tiok told The Star newspaper that local vegetable output had dropped 20 per cent since last month. The shortage has also affected supply to Singapore by about the same percentage, he said.

    Cameron Highlands Vegetable Growers Association secretary Chay Ee Mong said output from the highlands has dropped between 30 and 40 per cent. About 80 per cent of the output is consumed locally while the rest is exported to Singapore.

    Mr Tan said the situation had improved because of the recent rains but the upcoming Ramadan month would create new problems. “Indonesian farm workers will usually head back to their hometowns for the fasting month, which leaves us shorthanded,” he told the paper. “The situation is made worse by the freeze on foreign workers because we can’t take in labourers from other countries to replace those heading home.”

    Over in Thailand, the hot weather has affected Thai coconut production and prices have gone up almost 100 per cent in Singapore as a result.

    Coconut importer Kelvin Ngian of Siam Coconut told Channel NewsAsia that the prices are the highest he has seen in 15 years.

    In the case of coconuts, apart from the hot weather, prices have gone up because there has been an increase in demand for coconuts as drinking coconut water has become a health fad.

    The hot weather is also affecting the supply of durians. Last month, it was reported that durian yields in Perak were expected to fall by 50 per cent because durian trees were not flowering and trees were dying because of the lack of rain.

  • Rebut Peluang Niaga Bak Bermain Bolasepak

    Rebut Peluang Niaga Bak Bermain Bolasepak

    SEBAGAI pemain bola sepak, memang sudah menjadi kebiasaan Encik Zulfadhli Zainal Abidin mengambil apa jua peluang di hadapannya untuk membuat umpanan menarik kepada rakan sepasukan ataupun melakukan jaringan.

    Seperti bola sepak, pemain bek kiri dan kapten pasukan Warriors FC berusia 28 tahun itu turut berusaha memanfaatkan peluang sebegini dalam dunia perniagaan makanan dan minuman (F&B).

    Pemilik Kafe Zulos Shakes And More di Blok 612 Clementi West Street 1 itu sanggup menggadaikan banyak masa dan tenaga semata-mata mahu melihat kafe yang diimpikan selama ini menjadi nyata.

    “Memang tidak mudah memulakan satu perniagaan baru.

    “Tapi sama juga seperti bola sepak, saya juga akan berusaha cuba menembusi pasaran F&B.

    “Menguruskan perniagaan makanan merupakan impian saya sejak sekian lama.

    “Ia bukan satu taruhan. Sebaliknya saya perlu mengambil risiko bagi memulakan perniagaan ini. Apatah lagi dalam suasana ekonomi yang tidak menentu sekarang ini,” katanya.

    Menurut Encik Zulfadhli, semasa memulakan perniagaan tersebut, beliau terpaksa mengimbangi antara latihan bola sepak dengan persiapan membuka kafenya itu.

    Biarpun terpaksa berhempas pulas mengimbangi masanya yang cukup padat, Encik Zulfadhli berkata kafe tersebut bagaikan satu persiapan kepadanya menghadapi kerjaya selepas bola sepak yang dianggapnya mempunyai jangka hayat yang singkat.

    “Usia saya sudah 28 tahun. Dianggarkan rata-rata usia pemain bola sepak hanya dapat bertahan sehingga sekitar 35 tahun atau lebih sedikit. Sebab itulah saya perlu buat persiapan mulai sekarang,” tambahnya.

    Kafe Zulos Shakes And More yang dibukanya lewat tahun lalu itu menjual beberapa sajian Barat termasuk manisan churos, wafel dan minuman shake.

    Berharga antara $6.50 dengan $15, menu yang ditawarkan di kafe tersebut disediakan sendiri oleh isterinya, Cik Nur Sherillin Mohamed Jabbar, 26 tahun.

    Pasangan itu yang berkahwin Januari lalu sebelum ini pernah mengendalikan bazar Ramadan di kawasan Geylang Serai tahun lalu.

    “Selepas mendapat sambutan menggalakkan, kami ambil keputusan melanjutkan perniagaan ini dengan membuka kafe kami sendiri.

    “Meskipun sambutannya kini menggalakkan, kami rasakan lokasinya perlu diubah.

    “Kami sekarang ini sedang berbincang memindahkan kafe ini ke kawasan tengah Singapura,” kata Cik Nur Sherillin, bekas pramugari dan guru sekolah rendah.

    Mereka juga bercadang menyewa sebuah gerai di bazar Ramadan tahun ini.

    Difahamkan pasangan itu melabur sekitar $20,000 bagi memulakan kafe tersebut yang kini mampu memuatkan seramai 26 pelanggan pada satu-satu masa.

    Kafe tersebut yang dibuka setiap hari dari 3 petang hingga 10 malam turut menawarkan khidmat menyediakan wafel dan churos yang dimasak secara langsung di majlis tertentu seperti majlis korporat dan majlis walimah.
