Kebakaran Yang Berlaku Di Kedai Nasi Lemak Changi Village Semalam; Bermula Dari Kedai Mizzy Corner Nasi Lemak

Satu kebakaran berlaku di pusat penjaja Changi Village pada pagi Isnin (7 Ogos) menjejas gerai Mizzy Corner Nasi Lemak. Namun orang awam berjaya memadamkannya.

Pasukan Pertahanan Awam Singapura (SCDF) melaporkan ia mendapat tahu tentang kejadian itu pada jam 5.35 pagi dan segera mengerahkan kereta bomba ke tempat kejadian.

Kebakaran tersebut melibatkan “isi dapur” dan “saluran ekzos” menurut SCDF, sambil menambah bahawa ia dipadamkan oleh orang awam menggunakan alat pemadam api sebelum SCDF tiba di tempat kejadian.

Tidak ada kecederaan dilaporkan, dan punca kebakaran sedang disiasat.

Seorang pekerja daripada gerai restoran Dil B’ mengatakan beliau terdengar jeritan orang yang memekik ‘api!’. Sejurus selepas itu, beliau bersama tujuh pekerja yang lain segera bergegas untuk menolong memadamkan api.

Video yang tersebar di media sosial menunjukkan sebahagian daripada gerai Mizzy Corner Nasi Lemak terbakar, dengan api dan asap yang yang kelihatan seperti mencecah bahagian saluran ventilasi berhampiran siling, di bahagian atas barisan gerai-gerai tersebut.

Seorang lelaki dilihat memadamkan api di gerai itu dengan alat pemadam api, manakala seorang lagi memanjat meja, dengan mencuba untuk memadamkan api berhampiran dengan saluran.

Seorang pengurus ICT, Muhammad Syaheer, 28 tahun, berkata beliau berada di tempat kejadian pada jam 5.30 petang, 12 jam selepas kejadian berlaku.

Beliau berkongsi bahawa seorang pembersih memberitahunya bahawa kebakaran bermula pada jam 5.00 pagi di gerai Mizzy Corner Nasi Lemak.

Syaheer menambah keadaan perniagaan kelihatan berjalan seperti biasa apabila beliau berada di tempat kejadian pada petang itu, walaupun empat daripada gerai dikatakan tutup- “gerai nasi lemak yang popular, gerai minuman, gerai sate, gerai nasi beriani dam”.

Menurut pemilik gerai nasi lemak, Cik Mizrea, kerosakan yang berlaku akibat daripada kebakaran itu boleh memakan kos di antara S$20,000 hingga S$30,000. Beliau menambah beliau berasa “lega” bahawa kebakaran tidak merebak ke gerai-gerai lain dan tiada siapa yang tercedera.

“Mulai sekarang, kita perlu berhati-hati…Awak tidak akan tahu bila kebakaran boleh berlaku, dan awak tidak dapat membayangkan sejauh mana kebakaran boleh terjadi dan sejauh mana ia boleh menyebabkan kerosakan,” tambahnya.

Gerhana Bulan Separa Kelihatan Di Makkah; Solat Khusuf Didirikan Di Masjidil Haram

Fenomena gerhana bulan separa mula kelihatan di Tanah Suci pada 6.50 petang waktu tempatan Isnin (11.50 malam Isnin waktu Singapura).

Jemaah yang berada di kawasan Masjidil Haram dan penduduk di sekitar kota suci Makkah dapat menyaksikan fenomena berkenaan dengan jelas selama kira-kira lima jam, dengan kemuncaknya pada 9.21 malam waktu Arab Saudi (2.21 pagi Selasa waktu Singapura).

Fenomena yang djangka berlaku sekali lagi pada Julai 2019 itu, berakhir pada 11.30 malam (4.30 pagi waktu Singapura)

Berikutan fenomena itu, solat sunat khusuf (gerhana bulan) diadakan di Masjidil Haram, dan diikuti bacaan khutbah kira-kira 15 minit yang disampaikan imam masjid itu.

Menurut portal astronomi amatur Malaysia falakonline, gerhana bulan separa berlaku apabila sebahagian daripada cahaya matahari yang jatuh pada permukaan bulan, terlindung oleh jasad bumi.

Secara amnya, gerhana ini berlaku apabila bumi berada antara matahari dan bulan.

Walaupun ia nampak seperti sebaris, jika dilihat dari permukaan yang rata, bulan berada sedikit ke atas daripada garisan matahari dan bumi. Ini akan menyebabkan ia tidak akan dilindungi sepenuhnya oleh bayang-bayang bumi.

Daripada sudut pandangan Islam, berikutan fenomena itu, semua umat Islam disarankan menunaikan solat sunat khusuf di masjid atau surau berdekatan, bersedekah dan memperbanyakkan doa.

Singapore Teen Ben Davis Chasing EPL Dream Hopeful Of NS Deferment

Davis has been made rapid progress since signing with second-tier Fulham on a two-year scholarship in July, getting involved in a few pre-season friendlies for their academy and scoring two goals in the process.

Fulham’s academy is rated as one of the 24 Category One academies in England and compete in the Premier League Under-18 South League along with other London clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United.

While it may be exciting times for Davis, a shadow looms large over his development as he is expected to serve National Service (NS) for two years between the age of 18 to 21.

The midfielder flew back to Singapore specially to undergo his pre-NS enlistment medical check-up on Monday afternoon before returning to England on the same night.

With that process completed, Davis will be now able to apply for NS deferment.

FourFourTwo understands that the Football Association of Singapore will render help for his application, where it will be assessed by Sport Singapore (SportSG) and the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY) before reaching the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF).

It looks like a long road ahead as no Singapore footballer has ever been able to defer NS, however talented they might be.

Nonetheless Davis’ father, Harvey Davis hopes that a precedent can be set for his talented son so that his career does not get disrupted at this crucial juncture.

“Ben’s now at the stage and level where he can go on to achieve his dream, hopefully the authorities can set in place some procedure or criteria for football or team (for NS deferment),” said Harvey, who is the managing director for JSSL Singapore.

“I hope that Ben’s case will be the right case to push it forward. We’re keeping our hopes up and are remaining positive for Ben’s application, because we have faith that the system will eventually come through for our talented sportsmen and women.”

As for Davis himself, he is trying to put all those distractions and uncertainties aside as he focuses his effort on flying the Singapore flag high in England.

“It was difficult at the start for me, but I got used to it and improved a lot in a short time,” said the 16-year-old, who turns 17 in November. “It’s quite different how they use physicality to win the ball and that takes some getting used to. I’m spending more time at the gym to build muscles.

“The training’s much more intense in Fulham as compared to Singapore (in the Sports School). I want to improve further, maybe by shooting more, scoring more goals and taking more risks.

“No one looks down on me just because I’m Singaporean, but I’m really motivated to be better than the people in my age group because I know they won’t slow down. The goal for me now is to earn a pro contract for next season.

“In five years’ time, I hope to be representing Singapore and playing in one of the English Championship clubs, or in the Under-23 teams of the Premier League clubs.”

Sultan Johor: Curved Design Of Proposed Rail Track Impractical

The Sultan of Johor has spoken against the design of the proposed rail track linking Woodlands in Singapore and Bukit Chagar, Johor Bahru, and questioned the involvement of government-owned firm Prasarana Malaysia Bhd in the project.

“Why must it be Prasarana? Why not the Johor government?” asked Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar in an interview with New Straits Times today.

“The project is entirely in Johor; so why should Prasarana be involved? Let the Johor government and Singapore have a joint-venture and I can raise funds if need be.”

The rail track which includes a 30m-high bridge comes under the Rapid Transit System (RTS), the latest link to serve travellers who use the Causeway linking Malaysia and Singapore.

Both Prasarana and Singapore’s SMRT Corp are currently negotiating the joint venture.

Sultan Ibrahim said the design of the bridge was impractical, costly and would disrupt the state capital Johor Bahru’s skyline.

“The design matters to us and by ‘us’, I mean Johor,” he said.

He urged for a review of the whole design, saying the current curve-shaped design was not only costly but also impractical.

“Go back to the drawing board and review the overall plan.”

Sultan Ibrahim said he should be consulted for any project involving his state.

“Whatever (new plan) is presented to me, it will have to be logical, economical and sustainable for the benefit of not only Johoreans but all Malaysians and Singaporeans.”

During the interview, the ruler sketched a design, saying a straighter track which is closer to the Causeway was more practical.

“Why do they need an elevated bridge with up to 30m air draft (clearance height from water to a vessel’s height) unless there are plans to remove the Causeway?” he asked.
