    51 Year Old Singaporean Detained For Trying To Join ISIS

    A 51-year-old Singaporean has been arrested under the Internal Security Act (ISA) after he had tried to join the terrorist group Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), the Ministry of Home Affairs said on Tuesday (Jul 28).

    In late May, Mustafa Sultan Ali left Singapore and went to an unnamed regional country before flying to Turkey. He had taken that travel route in the hopes of hiding his tracks, MHA said, adding that he had planned to cross into Syria from the Turkish border.

    He was detained by local authorities in Turkey and subsequently deported to Singapore in June, MHA said. In July, Mustafa was issued with a two-year Order of Detention.

    Investigations showed that Mustafa had been “deeply radicalised by the terrorist ideology of ISIS and other radical ideologues he had come across online”, MHA said. He tried to make his way to Syria in order to “participate in armed violence by fighting alongside ISIS”, and was prepared to carry out ISIS-directed terrorist attacks against Western establishments in Singapore, it added.

    In May, a 19-year-old Singaporean M Arifil Azim Putra Norja’I was detained for participating in terrorism-related activities and planning to carry out violent attacks in Singapore. Another radicalised 17-year-old Singaporean was also arrested in May under the ISA for further investigations into the extent of his radicalisation.

    MHA urged members of the public who may be aware of any involvement in terrorism-related activities to inform the Internal Security Department (1800-2626-473) or the Police (999).

    “The Government takes a very serious view of any form of support for terrorism, including but not limited to the use of violence, and will take firm and decisive action against any person who engages in such activities,” it said.

  • Kopitiam Foodcourt Employee Sacked After Filmed Scraping Dead Skin With Fruit Knife

    Kopitiam Foodcourt Employee Sacked After Filmed Scraping Dead Skin With Fruit Knife

    A food court employee caught on camera using a fruit knife to scrape dead skin off her hand has been sacked.

    Personal assistant Renny, who is in her 30s, had filmed the incident while having lunch with her family at the Kopitiam food court in Sembawang’s Sun Plaza on Monday (July 27).

    “I saw this disturbing scene of a woman working at the mixed vegetable rice stall – she was removing the dead skin cells from her hand with what looked like a knife used for food,” Renny, who is in her 30s, told The Straits Times after first alerting netizen website Stomp.

    “This is so terrible and unhygienic.”

    She claimed that the woman wiped the knife with a receipt instead of washing it, before putting it below the cash register.

    A spokesman from Kopitiam, which operates more than 50 food courts in Singapore, said it had issued a warning letter to the stall’s tenant.

    The tenant then dismissed the employee on Monday night.

    After conducting its investigations, Kopitiam clarified that the knife in question was for the staff’s personal use. It was not used to prepare any food at the stall.

    “Nevertheless, her behaviour was unacceptable and not in line with the high standards of hygiene Kopitiam sets at all its food outlets,” said the spokesman.

    Monday’s incident was the second in a little over a month involving the food court operator. A video of one of its employees washing her shoes in a sink at its National University Hospital outlet went viral late last month.

    The female employee was later sacked by Kopitiam, which runs the desserts and drink stalls at all its food courts. All other food stalls are leased to tenants.

    The National Environment Agency (NEA) also said then that it would be taking action against Kopitiam for the “flagrant breach of hygiene that could have resulted in contamination of food and untensils”.

    Kopitiam has assured customers that it conducts weekly inspections of all its outlets to ensure that staff and tenants abide by a stringent set of hygiene standards.

    “While we are definitely concerned, both cases were isolated ones that happened due to personal lapses, rather than a lapse in our system,” added the spokesman.

    The Straits Times has contacted NEA for comment.

  • Ahmad Zahid Hamidi New DPM, Muhyiddin Yassin Out

    Ahmad Zahid Hamidi New DPM, Muhyiddin Yassin Out

    Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi is the new deputy prime minister and will also retain his current portfolio as home minister.

    Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak announced this today in a live telecast, confirming The Malaysian Insider’s report this morning of a Cabinet reshuffle.

    Najib also announced the removal of Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin as his deputy, calling it a “difficult decision” but one he had to make to ensure that the Cabinet operated as a collective unit.

    “The Cabinet must act as one solid team. I welcome vigorous debate, and can accept dissent and criticism. However, this process should take place in Cabinet as part of the decision-making process.

    “Members of the Cabinet should not air their differences in an open forum that can affect public opinion against the government and Malaysia. It is contrary to the concept of collective responsibility that is the foundation of Cabinet government.

    “It is also against the concept of collective responsibility,” Najib said in his announcement broadcast on TV1.

    Najib added that the Cabinet reshuffle was done after taking into account political considerations and the needs of his administration to ensure that it remained focused on implementing Malaysia’s development.

    “The decision to replace Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin was very difficult, but leadership is about doing what you think is right. To deliver for Malaysia, I must have a solid and unified team moving in the same direction.

    “Nevertheless, I thank Muhyiddin for all his work and dedication to the government and country, as I do all those ministers who are no longer in the Cabinet.

    “My decision to replace Muhyiddin with Zahid… was made in view of political considerations and the interests of the administration so that my administration will always be committed and focused to the country’s development and to fulfilling the promises made by Barisan Nasional the people in the 13th general elections,” Najib said.

    Zahid meanwhile said his appointment as deputy prime minister was “not a reward” but a responsibility towards the various races in Malaysia.

    Also a casualty in today’s reshuffle was Umno vice-president Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal who was dropped  as rural and regional development minister.

    He had been vocal in his criticism of Putrajaya’s handling of the 1MDB crisis.

  • Rich People Problems – Just Because They Stay In Private Properties Doesn’t Mean They Are Rich

    Rich People Problems – Just Because They Stay In Private Properties Doesn’t Mean They Are Rich

    Call it the power of mrbrown: The popular blogger’s tweet about a private property owner’s gripe is circulating online, provoking indignation and endless mockery.

    In a profile of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s Ang Mo Kio GRC by The Straits Times, father of three Chew B.W. was one of the constituents interviewed. His complaint: Not enough is being done for those living in private estates.

    Mr Chew noted the rising cost of living, such as the cost of a year’s tuition at The Learning Lab ($4,000) and a fencing costume for one of his children ($600). He added: “It doesn’t mean we are rich just because we live here. The Government should also help people like us – we pay the most taxes.”

    According to the Manpower Ministry’s website, the median gross monthly income in June 2014 was $3,770. The cost of a semi-detached house typically runs into seven figures.

    Mr Chew’s sentiments got short shrift from netizens on social media. The tweet has been retweeted almost 570 times. Here are some of the choicer comments on Twitter:

     
    Over on Facebook, user Callan Tham said: “Here, let me play the world’s smallest violin for them.” Kwan Tuck Soon also remarked: “The gahmen should help them upgrade to a mansion with a fencing room.”

    But it was Reddit user xavierkoh who had perhaps the most reasoned response: “Perhaps what we really need to cultivate as a community is a sense of empathy for the less privileged instead of always focusing on our own problems which might be more trivial in nature as compared to others. Without that, our society will further fragment into distinct social classes who only care about themselves.”
