  • 4 Anak Melayu/Islam Jadi Kohort Pertama Mahasiswa Di Sekolah Perubatan NTU

    4 Anak Melayu/Islam Jadi Kohort Pertama Mahasiswa Di Sekolah Perubatan NTU

    Empat anak Melayu/Islam bakal menjadi doktor perubatan ‘perintis’, setelah diterima masuk ke Sekolah Perubatan Lee Kong Chian (LKCMedicine).

    Mereka boleh dianggap istimewa kerana menjadi perintis bagi doktor-doktor Melayu yang dihasilkan Sekolah LKCMedicine kendalian Universiti Teknologi Nanyang (NTU) dan Imperial College London.

    Sehingga kini, para pelajar Melayu yang berjaya menjadi doktor, lulus dari fakulti perubatan NUS, ataupun universiti luar negara.

    Namun Shafiqah Shahrin, Muhammad Fadzil Kamarudin, Bureau Nicolas Khairul dan A Johan Saiful Mizra membentuk kohort mahasiswa Melayu/Islam yang pertama untuk mengikuti pengajian perubatan di Sekolah LKCMedicine.

    Mereka bukan sahaja mencatat keputusan cemerlang iaitu sekurang-kurangnya 3A dalam peperiksaan GCE ‘A’ , tetapi mereka juga berjaya mengharungi lapan sesi temuduga yang mencabar.

    KOHORT PALING RAMAI

    Empat mahasiswa Melayu/Islam itu boleh berbangga kerana dipilih setelah ‘bertarung’ dengan lebih 800 pemohon lain. Kesemuanya, 90 mahasiswa dipilih untuk kursus tersebut tahun ini.

    Jumlah itu kenaikan 67% berbanding hanya 54 mahasiswa yang diterima masuk untuk kohort pertama LKCMedicine pada 2013.

    Kohort mahasiswa pada tahun ini adalah yang paling ramai sejak Sekolah LKCMedicine ditubuhkan. Kini sekolah itu mempunyai 222 mahasiswa perubatan.

    Hari ini (17 Ogos), kesemua mahasiswa baru Sekolah LKCMedicine menerima jubah putih yang sering dipakai para doktor, dalam satu upacara khas, sebagai simbol permulaan pengajian mereka.

    Siapakah anak-anak Melayu tersebut? Mari kita kenali lebih dekat empat mahasiswa Melayu/Islam yang boleh dikatakan menempa nama dalam sejarah Sekolah LKCMedicine.

    Lebih menarik lagi, kesemua mereka datang daripada keluarga yang tidak mempunyai latar belakang perubatan.

    Ini bermakna apabila tamat pengajian kelak, Shafiqah, Fadzil, Nicolas dan Johan akan menjadi yang pertama di kalangan anggota keluarga masing-masing, untuk berkhidmat dalam industri perubatan.

    SHAFIQAH SATU-SATUNYA MAHASISWI MELAYU/ISLAM

    Shafiqah Shahrin, 19 tahun merupakan lulusan dari Maktab Rendah Victoria.

    Sejak kecil lagi, Shafiqah memang sudah berminat untuk membantu orang lain. Beliau semakin yakin terhadap minatnya selepas mengikuti “internship” selama sebulan di Hospital NUH awal tahun ini.

    “Saya memang mengagumi doktor dan mendapat inspirasi daripada mereka melalui pengalaman ‘internship’ saya. Saya faham kerapian kerjaya itu namun saya rasa bahawa apa yang boleh mendorong saya ialah minat saya,” kata anak bongsu dalam tiga beradik itu.

    Dan kini Shafiqah menjadi satu-satunya mahasiswi Melayu/Islam yang berjaya masuk ke Sekolah Perubatan NTU.

    “Tiada kerjaya lain, selain dalam perubatan untuk saya dan saya rasa sangat bersyukur kerana pada akhirnya, saya diterima masuk ke dalam kursus yang saya mahukan.

    “Sepanjang pengajian lima tahun ini, saya akan meluaskan ilmu pengetahuan dalam bidang perubatan supaya dapat bantu masyarakat Melayu/Islam,” kata Shafiqah ketika dihubungi BERITAMediaCorp.

    FADZIL: PENTING DIANJAKKAN BILANGAN DOKTOR MELAYU

    Muhammad Fadzil Kamarudin, 22 tahun muncul sebagai salah seorang lulusan terbaik dari Maktab Rendah Pioneer.

    Fadzil berasa terharu menjadi salah seorang mahasiswa perubatan Melayu yang pertama di NTU.

    “Tidak ramai doktor Melayu di Singapura, nisbah doktor Melayu kepada pesakit Melayu adalah tidak sama,” kata Fadzil kepada BERITAMediaCorp.

    Beliau menambah: “Saya rasa adalah penting untuk mempunyai doktor Melayu kerana mereka boleh memahami masyarakat Melayu dengan lebih baik, adat dan kepercayaan yang unik. Dan oleh itu, menyampaikan jagaan yang lebih baik kerana perubatan bukan tentang sains sahaja, tetapi juga mengenai hubungan antara pesakit dan doktor mereka.”

    Pada tahun 2007, bapanya pulih daripada penyakit angin ahmar selepas menetap di hospital untuk satu bulan. Tempoh itulah yang mengukuhkan tekad Fadzil untuk menceburi bidang perubatan.

    “Saya lihat tugas doktor dan jururawat setiap hari dan saya tertarik kepada pengorbanan dan dedikasi mereka terhadap tugas mereka. Hasil usaha mereka, bapa saya dapat sembuh sepenuhnya.

    “Saya berharap satu hari nanti, saya akan dapat melakukan perubahan yang sama dalam kehidupan pesakit-pesakit saya yang akan datang, dan keluarga mereka,” ujar Fadzil.

    “Saya harap untuk menjadi sumber inspirasi dan motivasi kepada para pelajar Melayu, yang walau datang daripada keluarga yang bukan doktor, untuk percaya dalam diri dan kejar impian mereka,” ujar Fadzil.

    NICOLAS FASIH BAHASA MELAYU, PERANCIS, INGGERIS & PERUBATAN

    Namanya begitu unik bagi seorang anak Melayu. Bureau Nicolas Khairul, 19 tahun mempunyai darah kacukan Melayu dan Perancis. Ayahnya berasal dari Perancis dan ibunya orang Melayu.

    Nicolas mengambil bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa ibunda, di samping juga fasih dalam bahasa Perancis dan Inggeris.

    Lulusan ACS(I) itu juga ‘fasih’ dalam bahasa perubatan, terutamanya mengenai fungsi organ-organ dalam tubuh. Sejak kecil lagi, beliau sudah mendalami mata pelajaran biologi.

    “Saya inginkan tugas yang mana ia tidak rasa seperti tugas kerana saya melakukan apa yang saya suka. Dan saya suka membantu orang.

    “Jadi saya pilih perubatan kerana ia menggabungkan dua minat saya (biologi dan membantu orang). Saya mahu berinteraksi lebih dekat dengan pesakit secara ‘firsthand’,” Nicolas memberitahu BERITAMediaCorp.

    JOHAN: TUGAS DOKTOR LEBIH ISTIMEWA

    A Johan Saiful Mizra, 19 tahun merupakan lulusan Maktab Rendah Raffles.

    Johan sebenarnya berbelah untuk menerima tawaran daripada NUS dalam bidang undang-undang, atau perubatan di LKCMedicine.

    “Saya membuat keputusan untuk memilih perubatan kerana ia menawarkan kerjaya yang lebih memuaskan dalam jangka masa panjang.

    “Tugas sebagai doktor lebih istimewa kerana terdapat kepercayaan yang unik antara pesakit dan doktor. Doktor yang bagus memainkan peranan istimewa dalam hidup seseorang,” kata Johan.

    Anak sulung dalam dua beradik itu berkata, beliau mahu membantu orang ramai, terutamanya masyarakat Melayu/Islam.

    “Tumpuan saya sekarang adalah untuk menjadi seorang doktor yang sangat bagus supaya saya boleh menyumbang kepada masyarakat. Itu matlamat saya sekarang.”

  • Chinese-Muslim RSN Regular Allegedly Subjected To Mental Torture Through Racist Abuse, RSN And MINDEF Must Investigate

    Chinese-Muslim RSN Regular Allegedly Subjected To Mental Torture Through Racist Abuse, RSN And MINDEF Must Investigate

    Admin,

    Come across this ig post from a girl

    instagram.com/p/6Z7AlsNxqO/

    From what she say, her boyfriend is a chinese-muslim convert who is facing a lot of racist bullying on the ship he posted to as a navy regular.

    Afnie Mardinee And Dylan Khalid

    The regular like lost because of the bullying.  you read for yourself. guarantee darah up when u read.

    Afnie Mardinee Story 1

    Afnie Mardinee Story 2

    Afnie Mardinee Story 3

    I got to a point where enough is enough. How would you feel when your other half complains to you every single day, about the same thing over and over again? I kept on repeating “just endure for five years”. It’s easy for me to say as I’m not in his shoes.

    My boyfriend is a regular from the Republic Of Singapore Navy (RSN).

    The only Muslim onboard the ship. By being the only Muslim, he is often being discriminated for “betraying” his own race. Instead of calling him by his name, which is stated clearly on his name tag, several people onboard calls him “Muslim, Terrorist, ISIS, Malay, Mat or Kiao Tor (a derogatory term for Malays) etc”.

    This has been ongoing for almost half a year since he was posted onboard the ship.

    It started when a high ranking officer onboard the ship calls him by his religion instead of his own name.

    There is a saying, “If the upper beams is not straight, the lower ones will go aslant”. To out in simpler words, if a leader sets a bad example, it will be followed by his subordinates and true enough, many of the lower ranking crews has started calling my boyfriend by racial or religious remarks.

    To top that up, some have even made fun of his religion or made the effort to convince him to go against his religion. E.g – Just eat the pork la, Allah won’t see, Allah won’t know, Allah off day today. -.-? Drinking and eating in front of his face with the intention to disturb him while he’s fasting during ramadhan. Telling him that he is a real Muslim because he’s not circumcised yet. Thus, he’s able to drink,eat pork and all. – Muslims all terrorists, are you gonna bomb the ship? – Malay people are all poor. – Malay people like to steal.

    There are other things that he mentioned and complained to me about.But, however, I’m unable to recall every single one of them. These are the few points which I could remember.

    The Navy and Mindef must investigate this and punish all the people who bully this Muslim convert, how can they anyhow call him a terrorist and ask him to eat pork? so what he not yet circumcise?

    Muis and Minister Yaacob must also give stern warning to everyone, any racist in Singapore will not be free. Navy already not so many Malays or Muslims but after this you think people still want to sign on?

  • Man Tried To Take My Child Away When Shopping At I12 Katong Mall

    Man Tried To Take My Child Away When Shopping At I12 Katong Mall

    Today at I12 Katong Mall, while my husband finished up his meal at BaliThai I was walking around the 2nd level trying to put SH to sleep in her pram. I went in and out of BaliThai and while M was paying the bill I browsed through some tshirts hanging at the racks of this shop called MegaFash.

    For a minute my hands were off the pram as I used both of my hands to check out a shirt, and from the corner of my eye I noticed a man walking near my pram but away from it first and then made a turn behind my back, walked towards my pram placed both his hands on the handle bar and casually walked away.

    Immediately I screamed HEY!!. He was very startled and his first reaction was to tell me off for my apparent over reaction.

    He began behaving very aggressively accusing me of unnecessarily shouting at him and quickly brought his wife from the other side and told me why would he take my child when he has his own. There are more details to this incident which I will not state here – too long.

    But dear friends who are parents, this dude is a buff Malay guy, wearing a white shirt and shorts. Very vulgar in language and aggressive in nature.

    His ‘wife’ looked foreign.

    I will make a police report on this incident because what happened was highly suspicious and the sequence of events and how it occured was just not very normal.

    Please be careful, Alhamdullilah nothing bad happened. If you would like to know more details, PM me and warn other parents.

    Still scarred and shocked that such a thing happened to us in Singapore. Not a safe place anymore it seems.

  • Photographer Takes Wife Along To Nude Shots

    Photographer Takes Wife Along To Nude Shots

    Most men think he has a dream job – being a photographer surrounded by the hot bods of lingerie models.

    But freelance lensman Mr Larry Lim insists their envy is misplaced.

    Mr Lim, 33, says: “When I’m in the heat of a shoot, I’m not thinking about how attractive the girls are. Instead, it’s all about how to make the best pictures for myself, for the model and the client.

    “There is a lot of hard work involved.”

    He freelances for Macro Studios, which specialises in paid shoots for corporate clients, wedding, and event photography.

    He has been doing this for nearly eight years.

    The fees for each job vary, from a few hundred to thousands of dollars, depending on the fees for the freelance models that he engages for his shoots.

    One thing that gets him the most attention are his pictures of scantily clad women.

    These pictures eventually make it to advertisements and publications, but some end up in less desirable places.

    “I have had my pictures end up on seedy Internet forums,” he says, referring to the threads where netizens discuss lewd details of his models.

    Some use his pictures for the wrong reasons.

    Last month, a man pretended to be a professional photographer by using one of Mr Lim’s photos in his personal portfolio.

    The man ended up asking for sexual favours from the models, says Mr Lim, who was alerted by his models.

    “I had to spread the word that I’m not that same guy because credibility counts for everything in this business. Word gets around like wildfire.”

    If a client demands it, he is able to do a nude photo shoot.

    When he gets such jobs, he pulls out his phone book that contains a long list of female models willing to strip for the camera.

    But doing these nude photo shoots also means that he relies on his own crew of lighting assistants and make-up artists.

    This is because there have been countless occasions where friends and strangers ask to be present at these shoots to “help out”.

    Mr Lim, who also holds a second job selling life sciences equipment, says: “I know it’s because they want to ‘beo cha bor’ (Hokkien for ‘peep at women’).

    “I have to be very cautious because my reputation is on the line. I will only allow those with experience, and if the model is okay with it.”

    It is a precaution he has to take because his models have had several bad experiences dealing with perverts while on the job.

    Jobs which involved nudity or bikini models also used to affect his relationship with his wife.

    “My wife knew all along that I was in this business and yes, at first, she had self-confidence issues because she must have thought I might run away with one of the girls,” he says.

    His solution? He takes his wife along for some of the nude shoots as his assistant.

    “She gradually came to terms with it. She knows she can trust me,” he says with a smile.


    SECRETS OF THE TRADE

    1 To succeed, you need to have a strong portfolio and a proven track record. One way is to gain experience from the pros by starting as an assistant.

    2 Speak often and do not hide behind the camera. Models will feel more at ease and the resulting pictures will also reflect that.

    3 Delete compromising images in front of the model and do not share them with anyone. Models appreciate that.
