  • Average Singaporeans: Rich Elites Can Never Understand Our Simple Local Lifestyle

    Average Singaporeans: Rich Elites Can Never Understand Our Simple Local Lifestyle

    Dear All Singapore Stuff,

    I would like to share my reflections on what the upcoming SG50 anniversary means to me, based on my personal experiences as an average Singaporean.

    I have come to realize that the poor and lower-middle class represent an entirely different Singapore from the rich and upper-middle class. We are like two different nations.

    Kids from the rich and upper-middle class are different from birth. They are equipped with skills an average Singaporean will never get. They are taught to play various musical instruments, taught a variety of sports and even go for supplementary classes from a young age. Not surprisingly these kids end up doing well academically and also excel in other activities. Even if they do not succeed academically,they have the financial support and necessary connections to set up their own businesses to establish themselves. These kids dominate the better schools and will inevitably become the next generation of elites. As an end result, we have the elite producing more elites.

    What happens to the kids from the poor and lower middle class? The vast majority ends up in the neighbourhood schools. Less conducive environment, no guarantee of good teachers (I was once scolded by a MOE teacher for bothering her with too many questions about a humanities subject) and limited enrichment programmes. There are less opportunities for students to participate in competitions to boost their own confidence. Many cannot afford tuition. Quite a number are from broken families (myself included), and they are troubled by family problems even as they study. They also have to deal with exposure to kids who smoke, gangsters, bullies and other delinquents. These kids even have to work part-time during school holidays to increase their monthly allowance. Most end up in polytechnics or neighbourhood jcs and very few enter the local universities.

    Being one of the few neighbourhood school kids who entered a good jc and then a local university, I experienced a culture shock. I could not relate to the majority of my classmates in my jc. Almost everyone in my jc class stayed in a condo or landed house.

    I could not effectively communicate with them because I lacked relevant experiences like overseas trips as well as musical and sports talents. I couldn’t understand why every outing had to involve eating at a restaurant in the city area and why there was so much spending. Most of the girls stayed in condos and frequently called others to come over for tennis games, swimming, barbecues and other frivolous celebrations. I actually felt embarrassed to be staying in a hdb flat with so few fun facilities as I could not engage my classmates in a similar manner. They had perfect families with supportive parents and they went on overseas trips every holiday in contrast to neighbourhood school people who usually worked part-time during holidays.

    They were seasoned travelers who had no qualms about staying overseas for weeks without their families! Same thing in university. I found that there were fewer and fewer of the neighbourhood school kids with whom I could better identify. Those I know who went on exchange programmes and overseas CIP trips were mostly scholars and wealthy people. Those with greater purchasing power also enriched their university experience with participation in marathons, camps and clubbing events whereas those who were poorer were stuck with memories of lectures and tutorials, school activities and the inevitable bank loan.

    Most of the rich people tend to think and behave similarly. For instance, during jc, they were taking their Grade 8 piano examinations at the same time, they took SATs while preparing for ‘A’ levels and later on in university, they took up driving lessons simultaneously. I could not even afford to take up driving and I didn’t see the point of it because I have no car.

    I think the poor and lower middle class appreciate simple pastimes better. A stroll in the park, running at the stadium, playing board games or card games at a void deck or playing basketball at a public basketball court is simply too boring for the wealthier people. Window-shopping without any purchase is ridiculous to them. They will never be seen doing any of these activities and will sneer at you or look bewildered if you even suggest any of these activities. If you say that $13 is too expensive for a movie or that $70 is too much for Universal Studios, they will just scold you for complaining so much. Gradually,they will abandon you for being such a boring and negative person.

    I have seen enough to believe that the non-elite can never truly be part of one Singapore with the elites. We have different upbringings, different values, different lifestyles, different educational experiences and a different sense of identity. Our life goals are also different. While the elites love to say that what we see as elite is what they see as meritocracy, the hard truth is that there’s such a thing as inherited meritocracy, and the non-elite lack the necessary resources and upbringing to properly compete with them. This leaves the majority of the non-elite with limited social mobility.

    Equality is a lie. Rather than deceive myself into thinking that there can be a true, lasting friendship with an elite person, I choose to believe that elites can never understand or appreciate simplicity while living within the comforts of their condos and landed houses. Of course, I will work hard. But I also accept the reality that I am disadvantaged relative to the wealthier segments of society. Fraternization with them will only be counter-productive to my life goals.

    As far as the non-elite like myself are concerned, it is best to leave the elites to their extravagant lifestyles. I strongly believe that the poor should not provide any entertainment to the rich. If we are invited to their parties, we should decline. Leave them to celebrate with their ilk. As we prepare to celebrate Singapore’s golden jubilee, let’s not deceive ourselves into thinking that we are all one. We certainly are not.

  • ISIS Brainwashed And Taught Teenage Boys To Kill

    ISIS Brainwashed And Taught Teenage Boys To Kill

    The children had all been shown videos of beheadings and told by their trainers with the Islamic State group that they would perform one someday.

    First, they had to practice their technique. More than 120 boys were each given a doll and a sword and told to cut off its head.

    A 14-year-old who was among the boys, all abducted from Iraq’s Yazidi religious minority, said he couldn’t cut it right. He chopped once, twice, three times.

    ‘Then they taught me how to hold the sword and they told me how to hit.

    ‘They told me it was the head of the infidels,’ the boy, renamed Yahya by his ISIS captors, told The Associated Press last week in northern Iraq, where he fled after escaping the ISIS training camp.

    ‘Lion cub’ reveals his captors forced him to behead dolls

    When Islamic State extremists overran Yazidi towns in northern Iraq last year, they butchered older men and enslaved many of the women and girls.

    Dozens of young Yazidi boys like Yahya had a different fate: The ISIS sought to re-educate them.

    They forced them to convert to Islam from their ancient faith and tried to turn them into jihadi fighters.

    It is part of a concerted effort by the extremists to build a new generation of militants, according to interviews with residents who fled or still live under ISIS in Syria and Iraq.

    The group is recruiting teens and children using gifts, threats and brainwashing. Boys have been turned into killers and suicide bombers.

    An ISIS video issued last week showed a boy beheading a Syrian soldier under an adult militant’s supervision.

    Last month, a video showed 25 children unflinchingly shooting 25 captured Syrian soldiers in the head.

    In schools and mosques, militants infuse children with extremist doctrine, often turning them against their own parents.

    Fighters in the street befriend children with toys.

    ISIS training camps churn out the Ashbal, Arabic for ‘lion cubs’ – child fighters for the ‘caliphate’ that ISIS declared across its territory.

    The caliphate is a historic form of Islamic rule that the group claims to be reviving with its own radical interpretation, though the vast majority of Muslims reject its claims.

    ‘I am terribly worried about future generations,’ said Abu Hafs Naqshabandi, a Syrian sheikh who runs religion classes for refugees in the Turkish city of Sanliurfa to counter ISIS ideology.

    The indoctrination mainly targets Sunni Muslim children.

    In ISIS-held towns, militants show young people videos at street booths. They hold outdoor events for children, distributing soft drinks and candy – and propaganda.

    According to an anti-ISIS activist who fled the Syrian city of Raqqa, they tell adults: ‘We have given up on you, we care about the new generation.

    He spoke on condition of anonymity to preserve the safety of relatives under ISIS rule.

    With the Yazidis, whom ISIS considers heretics ripe for slaughter, the group sought to take another community’s youth, erase their past and replace it with radicalism.

    Yahya, his little brother, their mother and hundreds of Yazidis were captured when ISIS seized the Iraqi town of Sulagh in August.

    They were taken to Raqqa, where the brothers and other Yazidi boys aged eight  to 15 were put in the Farouq training camp.

    They were given Muslim Arabic names to replace their Kurdish ones. Yahya asked that his real name not be used for his and his family’s safety.

    He spent nearly five months there, training eight to 10 hours a day, including exercises, weapons drills and Quranic studies.

    They told him Yazidis are ‘dirty’ and should be killed, he said.

    They showed him how to shoot someone from close range. The boys hit each other in some exercises. Yahya punched his 10-year-old brother, knocking out a tooth.

    The trainer ‘said if I didn’t do it, he’d shoot me,’ Yahya said. ‘They… told us it would make us tougher. They beat us everywhere.’

    In an ISIS video of Farouq camp, boys in camouflage do calisthenics and shout slogans.

    An ISIS fighter says the boys have studied jihad so ‘in the coming days God Almighty can put them in the front lines to battle the infidels.’

    Videos from other camps show boys crawling under barbed wire and practicing shooting.

    One child lies on the ground and fires a machine gun, but he’s so small the recoil bounces his whole body back a few inches.

    Boys undergoing endurance training stand unmoving as a trainer hits their heads with a pole.

    ISIS claims to have hundreds of such camps.

    The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights documented at least 1,100 Syrian children under 16 who joined ISIS this year.

    At least 52 were killed in fighting, including eight suicide bombers, it said.

    Yahya escaped in early March.

    Fighters left the camp to carry out an attack, and as remaining guards slept he and his brother slipped away, he said.

    He urged a friend to come too, but he refused, saying he was a Muslim now and liked Islam.

    Yahya’s mother was in a house nearby with other abducted Yazidis – he had occasionally been allowed to visit her. So he and his brother went there.

    They travelled to the Syrian city of Minbaj and stayed with a Russian ISIS fighter, Yahya said.

    He contacted an uncle in Iraq, who negotiated to pay the Russian for the two boys and their mother.

    A deal struck, they met the uncle in Turkey then went to the Iraqi Kurdish city of Dohuk.

    Now in Dohuk, Yahya and his brother spend much of their time watching TV. They appear outgoing and social.

    But traces of their ordeal show. When his uncle handed Yahya a pistol, the boy deftly assembled and loaded it.

    And he will never forget the videos of beheadings ISIS trainers showed the boys.

    ‘I was scared when I saw that,’ he said. ‘I knew I wouldn’t be able to behead someone like that. Even as an adult.’

  • 5 Traffic Fines In Singapore You Didn’t Know You Could Get Fined For

    5 Traffic Fines In Singapore You Didn’t Know You Could Get Fined For

    You know how tourists in Singapore think it’s a big joke when they buy a T-shirt that says “Singapore is a FINE city” followed by a list of things that you can get fined for. You know, like littering, or jaywalking, or even using someone else’s WiFi network. But you know where it hurts the most? When you’re on the road. Or more accurately, when you’re out of your car after parking illegally. Recently, one Singaporean has to pay a total of $7,000 for his 14 traffic fines! All of them have to do with where he parked.

    Here are 5 traffic fines in Singapore you didn’t know you could get booked for.

    1. Parking a vehicle on a flyover

    Fine: $70 for light vehicles, $100 for heavy vehicles.

    Essentially, don’t be a jerk and put other people at risk. Even though the speed limit on a flyover is supposed to be 50km/h, Singaporean drivers tend to ignore it because they’re usually entering or exiting an expressway. What’s worse, many flyovers in Singapore are winding and you probably won’t see a parked vehicle until it’s too late.

    Needless to say, “parking a vehicle on a ramp leading to a flyover” is illegal as well and carries the same fine.

    2. Parking a vehicle in an underpass

    Fine: $70 for light vehicles, $100 for heavy vehicles.

    Having been a pedestrian for most of my life, my first thought when I saw this traffic fine was “How the hell does a vehicle get into an underpass”? Of course, this isn’t referring to a pedestrian underpass, but a vehicular one, like the Bukit Timah Underpass beneath the Farrer Flyover, or Queensway Underpass beneath Commonwealth Avenue.

    Just like the flyover, it’s quite the jerk move to park in an underpass, because vehicles aren’t expecting to stop or change lanes when they’re in an underpass. Doing so puts others at risk.

    In the same way, “parking a vehicle on a ramp leading to an underpass” is illegal and carries the same fine.

    3. Stopping a vehicle on the right side of a two-way road

    Fine: $70 for light vehicles, $100 for heavy vehicles.

    Unless you’ve lived in countries like United States, or the Philippines, or China for extended periods of time, you know that it’s common sense not to stop your vehicle on the right side of a two way road. We drive on the left-hand side of the road, which means that parking on the right side will cause obstruction to oncoming traffic.

    Needless to say, if you do park on the left-hand side of the road, you need to make sure you’re not “stopping a vehicle without facing the direction in which the traffic may lawfully move”. Or, in other words, don’t park against traffic!

    On a one-way road, you can stop on either side, unless of course there’s an unbroken white line (or lines).

    4. Parking a vehicle within 9 metres of a bus stop

    Fine: $70 for light vehicles, $100 for heavy vehicles

    Most drivers remember that you can’t park within 3 metres of a fire hydrant, or within 6 metres of a junction of any road or street, but did you know you also aren’t allowed to park within 9 metres of a bus stop?

    Normally the measurement will be taken from the bus stop pole or the tip of the bus stop box, but in the case of a bus bay, the measurement is taken from the tip of the bus bay itself not the bus stop.

    Of course, if you’re “parked” because your vehicle has broken down or your tyres have been punctured then you’re given a free pass.

    5. Parking a vehicle on the grass verge of a road

    Fine: $70 for light vehicles, $100 for heavy vehicles

    Bet you didn’t realise this was illegal, huh? Especially since so many Singaporeans do it when they’re in landed property areas where there’s only one lane or a narrow two-way street. In all fairness, some drivers who are forced to park on the grass often do so to prevent any obstructions. But there will be those who think that any grass patch next to a road is as good as a parking lot. $70 should tell you otherwise.

    In the same vein, “parking a vehicle on the footway of a road” is also illegal and carries the same fine. The simple lesson here? If there’s no official parking lot, don’t park there. It’s not worth it.

    But wait, there’s more!

    As of January 1st this year, repeat offenders will have to pay larger traffic fines for certain offences. A “repeat offender” is defined as having received a fine within the last 12 months from the date of his previous offence.

    Here’s the complete table of traffic offenses that don’t carry demerit points:

  • Osman Sulaiman: Teguran Erwin Shah Tulus, Kehidupan Umat Islam Di Singapura Perlu Dipertingkat

    Osman Sulaiman: Teguran Erwin Shah Tulus, Kehidupan Umat Islam Di Singapura Perlu Dipertingkat

    Erwin nak pegi Malaysia kerana Islam, tapi kena slam. Ada yg lemparkan kata2 sinis. Ada yg dah dekat skali dgn fitnah kononnya Erwin tu nak pegi Malaysia kerana career.

    Dia nak ke negara jiran kerana Islam pun kena kritik. Apa ni? Korang ingat sini byk senang ke nak jalankan tugas sebagai orang Muslim? Apa salah ke nak pegi tempat yg menyenangkan diri untuk mempraktikkan agama sendiri?

    Kalau korang nak defend Singapura, konon2nya sini pun tak susah nak jalankan tanggung jawab sebagai orang Islam, meh sini saya bagitau sikit.

    1. Tandas shopping centre kebanyakkan nya tiada paip air untuk beristinjak. Yg ada tissue. Senang tak?

    2 Sembahyang jumaat kadang2 majikan tak kasi pergi. Kalau kasi pun, lincah2 kita kena balik. Senang tak?

    3. Yg pakai tudung, tidak dibenarkan berkerja di dalam uniform group. Yg nak cari kerja, kadang tak dapat kerana pakai tudung. Senang tak?

    4. Contractor2 melayu islam, tidak dibenarkan ke kawasan2 tertentu di dalam tentera walaupun hanya bertugas. Senang tak?

    5. Tempat mushollah walaupun sudah semakin byk, tetap berkurangan. Nak sembahyang, kadang kena pergi jauh sikit. Senang tak?

    6. Nak sembahyang bila dah sampai waktu, brani tak agak2 nak ckp pada majikan kita nak time off dari kerja untuk menunaikan solat? Senang tak?

    Jadi kalau dia nak pergi ke negara jiran kerana dia fikir ia akan menyenangkan dirinya untuk menunaikan ibadah, yg kita sibuk2 nak slam dia asal? Cubalah beri semangat sikit untuk dia. Jgn pula kita berprasangka buruk terhadap sesuatu yg baik.

    Saya tak marah. Cakap2 aja. Selamat Hari Raya. Kalau tersilap kata, mohon maaf.

  • Jangan Duduk Terkangkang And Other Don’ts When Going Raya Open House Visiting

    Jangan Duduk Terkangkang And Other Don’ts When Going Raya Open House Visiting

    Hari Raya adalah hari untuk kita mengeratkan hubungan silaturrahim. Jadi, jangan sampai perlakuan kita ketika beraya nanti menyakitkan hati orang lain pula.

    1. Jangan biarkan anak anda berlari ke sana-sini dan usik barang-barang tuan rumah

    2

    Walaupun mungkin anak anda seorang kanak-kanak yang comel, tapi anda harus bertanggungjawab dalam menghalangnya daripada membuat ‘kacau’ di rumah orang. Kalau terpecah pasu bunga atau terkotorkan karpet mahal, anda juga yang susah nanti.

    2. Jangan tapau makanan, walaupun kamu rasa makanan di rumah itu banyak

    2

    Memang pernah ada kes orang yang gigih membawa bekas makanan atau tupperware ke rumah terbuka. Jika anda tak mahu menjadi viral atas sebab yang salah, elakkan melakukan perkara sebegini ya.

    3. Pakai pakaian yang bersesuaian dengan Aidilfitri atau sekurang-kurangnya pakaian yang kemas

    2

    Mungkin kamu kurang gemar berbaju kurung atau berbaju Melayu. Tapi jangan sampai kamu memakai tshirt berbaur provokatif atau pakaian yang terlalu seksi pula apabila beraya ke rumah orang.

    4. Jangan katakan sesuatu yang boleh menyakitkan hati tuan rumah seperti “Eh panasnya rumah ni!”

    2

    Jika rumah tuan rumah itu panas, atau jika minuman kurang sejuk, atau baju rayanya sama dengan langsir sekalipun, anda tak perlu kata apa-apa sebaliknya bersyukurlah kerana anda diterima dan dijemput untuk beraya di rumah tersebut.

    5. Jangan sibuk tukar siaran TV yang dipasang oleh tuan rumah

    2

    Kalau anda nak tonton TV, apa kata keluar dari pintu rumah tersebut, masuk ke dalam kereta, pandu berhati-hati sampai ke rumah anda sendiri dan tadaa!! Silalah tonton TV di rumah anda sendiri sampai puas. Senang kan?

    6. Jangan lap tangan pada sofa atau langsir

    2

    Kalau tangan anda kotor terkena biskut atau kek, sila minta tisu pada tuan rumah. Jangan berat mulut dan buat perangai dengan lap tangan pada sofa atau langsir. Marah tuan rumah tu nanti.

    7. Jangan berbisik sambil ketawa ketika berada di hadapan tetamu lain

    2

    Perbuatan sebegini akan membuatkan orang salah sangka yang anda sedang mengata dan mentertawakan mereka. Sebaiknya, bercakap saja macam orang normal yang lain. Tak payahlah nak bisik-bisik.

    8. Jangan ambil kesempatan cas telefon di rumah orang

    2

    Di zaman sekarang, harga powerbank semakin murah. Jadi tak perlu tambah beban tuan rumah dengan tumpang cas telefon anda pula ya, melainkan kalau anda ‘tong-tong’ sekali bil elektrik.

    9. Jika anak anda menangis, sila beransur-ansur minta diri. Jangan biarkan anak anda mengamuk.

    2

    Bila anak anda menangis, itu tandanya dia kepenatan dan mula rasa rimas. Tak perlulah anda tunggu lagi sejam dua, bawalah anak anda balik ke rumah untuk berehat. Kalau dia masih menangis, sekurang-kurangnya bukan di rumah orang lain.

    10. Pastikan anda atau ahli keluarga anda duduk dengan sopan. Jangan biarkan mereka duduk terkangkang.

    2

    Mungkin anda sudah kekenyangan. Mungkin juga anda tak mampu nak duduk dengan betul lagi. Tapi itu tak bermakna anda boleh duduk terbongkang dan terkangkang sesuka hati di rumah orang. Ish, tak senonoh betul!

    11. Jangan tanya “Tak ada duit raya ke?” sama ada untuk diri sendiri mahupun untuk anak

    2

    Anda harus ingat, belanja untuk buat rumah terbuka bukannya sedikit. Bertimbang rasalah pada tuan rumah, janganlah kamu tambahkan lagi perbelanjaannya. Malahan, kamulah yang patut berikan tuan rumah duit raya.

    12. Jangan lupa ucap terima kasih bila hendak minta diri

    2

    Akhir sekali, jangan lupa bersalam-salaman dan ucapkan terima kasih kepada tuan rumah kerana sudi menjemput anda ke rumah terbukanya. Jangan balik begitu saja, okay? Kita kan rakyat Malaysia yang terkenal dengan kesopanan dan kesusilaan.
