Damanhuri Abas: PAP No Champion Of Racial Equality, Malays Marginalised

This is another ugly truth of how labels are conveniently thrown by them at persons to distract from the issue of contention.

They are no champion of racial equality. For if they were, there would be no discriminatory practises of excluding the Malays from so-called sensitive positions in the SAF for the last 5 decades sowing the poison of distrust into the minds of Singaporeans towards the entire race, the Malay schools would not have closed down, the Madrasah would have stop ‘begging’ long time ago for a decent premise to educate our children while SAP schools are showered with endless tax-payers money, or would the Malays be systematically marginalised in so many other ways in society. Instead, race have been abused by the PAP to institutionalise deceptive mechanism such as the GRC to their political advantage. And now the EP.

The fact that after more than 50 years of PAP led Malay leadership in government, the Malays are still behind in education, over represented in drug abused cases, prison inmates, delinquents, divorce, low income, etc., etc., are a damning indictment of the failures of the chosen PAP Malay leadership. The reserved EP is neither our community’s priority, need nor want for a show-puppet Malay President. Its a disgrace.

We have seen few days ago what parliament has become when 1 party rules and now the last bastion of the people’s defence will simply become another tool of the PAP.

Come on Singaporeans, lets take back our country from the current double tongue bunch of financially bloated elites that knows no shame oozing out their hypocrisy and taking the entire nation for their joy ride.

3 Anak Melayu Raih Kelulusan Kepujian Kelas Pertama Dari NUS

Tiga anak Melayu/Islam muncul sebagai antara lulusan cemerlang dari NUS tahun ini degan lulusan dengan ijazah Kepujian kelas pertama.

DISIPLIN, PENGURUSAN MASA FAKTOR KEJAYAAN

Syasya Naqiyah Amir misalnya berada dalam senarai dekan buat tiga semester.

Bagaimanapun, penerima Sarjana Muda Pentadbiran Perniagaan ini masih sempat meluangkan masa menjadi relawan di Jamiyah dan anggota tiga kelab di NUS.

“Untuk saya, cabaran utama adalah persaingan sengit antara pelajar-pelajar. Tetapi saya suka sekitaran sebegitu kerana ia memotivasi saya untuk mencapai kecemerlangan untuk memperbaiki diri sendiri dan untuk bekerja keras,” katanya.

Seperti Syasya, Khalid Othman yang meraih Sarjana Muda dalam jurusan Sains Hayat dimasukkan dalam senarai Dekan.

Tanggapan bahawa matematik dan sains adalah subjek sukar mendorong beliau memilih kerjaya seorang guru. Khalid kini bertugas di sebuah sekolah menengah.

Khalid memberitahu BERITAMediacorp: “Saya rasa yang lebih penting adalah bagaimana saya dapat tinggikan keyakinan diri saya di dalam universiti untuk berbual dan bercakap di dalam kelas, dalam khalayak orang ramai. Itulah yang saya rasa penting untuk menjadikan saya seorang guru.”

INGIN JADI CONTOH KEPADA ADIK BERADIK

Bagi Muhammad Khairul Anwar Jamil, beliau ingin menjadi contoh kepada lima adiknya.

Mentelah lagi, beliau pernah gagal memasuki universiti setelah meraih keputusan peringkat “A “yang kurang memuaskan.

“Pada ketika itu saya merasa sangat kecewa. Tetapi pada saat itu, keluarga dan rakan-rakan saya mendorong saya untuk meneruskan pelajaran. Bila saya masuk ke politeknik, saya mendapat tahu yang saya mula meminati bidang kejuruteraan,” ujarnya.

Peluang kedua itu tidak disia-siakan dan Khairul bakal berangkat ke Ecuador bulan depan untuk bertugas di salah sebuah syarikat minyak terbesar di dunia.

Dr Tan Cheng Bock: My Challenge Is To Uphold The Constitution, Not Undermine Race And Religion

My fellow Singaporeans

The High Court has decided against my application. My lawyers are studying the 65-page judgment in which Justice Quentin Loh acknowledged that I have “put forward serious arguments on the start of the count”.
I am, of course, disappointed with the result and will announce whether I will appeal, after this weekend.

Meanwhile, I am more disappointed with a Channel News Asia (CNA) report on 7 July 2017, 2.53 pm. In the paragraph titled “Dr Tan “Selfishly” Trying To “Undermine” Multi Racial Presidency’, the report quoted:
[“His motives are purely selfish and he has shown no regard for the principle of multiracial representation which Parliament intended to safeguard,” Deputy Attorney-General (DAG) Hri Kumar Nair said.]

I wish to respond.
First, the report gave the impression that Justice Loh accepted the DAG’s remarks about me (which was also unfair and untrue). In fact, the judge did not entertain this submission anywhere in his judgment, presumably because that submission was irrelevant to the case.
Second, in my political life, I championed multi-racialism and continue to do so. I was fortunate enough to take care of a constituency comprising 27% Malay constituents. We served together well and they graciously supported me with record high election percentages including 88% in 2001. I am thankful for the great rapport I had with my Malay constituents and grassroot leaders – some of whom still continue to visit my home during Chinese New Year until this day.

For the DAG to call me “selfish” and having “no regard for the principle of multiracial representation” is hitting below the belt, highly inflammatory and encroaches into dangerous racial politics. The DAG is a public servant and an ex-PAP MP. He should not have made such a statement, which is now widely reported by the press.

This case is not about race. It is about process and procedures. It is about upholding the Constitution. Let’s keep it that way.

Seeking Forgiveness For Any Wrongdoings; A Yearly Hari Raya Practice

This is one of the yearly Hari Raya practices from our culture that I truly believe in and treasure. Recently, there were many debates about its relevance and importance. Many who do not fully understand the rationale behind the action will simply brush it off as insignificant to the point of it being almost a ridiculous practice. I beg to differ in opinion.

While I agree that we have to apologise for our mistakes to the ones we hurt as soon as we have made them and not wait to do it during Hari Raya, we may not always be conscious or aware of our wrongdoings. Others may not be open enough to point out our mistakes/wrongdoings/transgressions/misdeeds and would rather keep the hurt to themselves.

So, as we celebrate the blessed day with a fresh outlook in life filled with positivity and hope after the cleansing of the mind, body and soul during Ramadhan, it is only logical and befitting to ask others for their forgiveness for any or our wrongdoings whether they were done intentionally or otherwise…consciously or unconsciously. The very reason why we always start the seeking of forgiveness dialogue with “Kalau (if) ada salah dan silap sengaja atau tidak (there is any wrongdoings done intentionally or otherwise), TERkasar bahasa dan perbuatan (unintentional misdeeds and harsh words), TERmakan dan TERminum (unintentional consumption of food/drinks without others’ permission)….”. When we seek forgiveness, we learn to let go of our ego and realise that we are not above everyone else. When we forgive someone, we learn that we are not above God who is ever-willing to forgive no matter how big our sins may be.

Suspicious Man Loitering Around Void Deck In Sengkang, Parents With Kids To Be Wary

Salam everyone.. Just wanted to share something that happened to me this morning (5 July) at Fernvale, Sengkang West Way.

After sending my 2nd daughter off through her school van, me and my youngest daughter proceeded to take the lift back home.

Out of nowhere, a guy who looks like a chinese national, hop on the same lift as me looking rather suspicious.

This was the same guy who was lurking around the void deck when I was waiting to fetch my daughter from her school van yesterday. Moreover, he was wearing the exact same shirt as the day before.

He pressed the 13th floor but throughout the journey up, he kept glancing towards my youngest daughter.

I felt uneasy and alighted from the lift. Surprisingly, the lift stopped just a storey above me. I quickly went back home to inform my husband who was fortunately on off today about the incident in the lift.

While discussing, I just had the intuition to peep through the peephole and to my horror, that same guy was lurking just outside my house!

I hid away but Hubby decided to confront the guy to ask for his intention for standing in front of our house. He claimed to be ‘working’ and is here everyday but Hubby called his bluff asking where is his town council shirt then and if he’s not with the town council, do provide his supervisor’s contact details. When he could not answer all those queries, Hubby threatened to call the police. The guy immediately said sorry and ran down the stairs.

That whole incident send goosebumps all over my body.

Hubby did call the police to inform them about the matter. The guy was about 170cm-ish aged probably in the late 30s/ early 40s wearing a grey nike shirt and cream coloured shorts. The only mistake was hubby forgot to snap a photo of the guy as he was charging his phone.

The police mentioned that they will step up the patrolling and would only go through footages from cctv cameras at the staircase landing should the guy appear again.

Sharing this here so that we can all be extra vigilant when we’re bringing our kids outside.
