    [Malaysia] Ibu Yang Gantung Buaian Anak Dalam MRT Dikecam

    Membawa kereta sorong ke dalam pengangkutan awam mungkin sudah menjadi kebiasaan, tetapi membawa buaian anak dan menggantungnya di dalam MRT ternyata bukan suatu yang lumrah dilihat.

    Dalam sebuah laporan mStar, para penumpang terkejut apabila seorang ibu bertindak menggantung buaian anaknya pada senggayut pemegang tempat berdiri.

    Gambar tindakan pelik ibu kanak-kanak itu turut menular dan dikecam pengguna media sosial baru-baru ini.

    Seorang pengguna Facebook, Nana Abd Rashid, seperti dipetik mStar, berkongsi status mengenai peristiwa itu yang disifatkan sebagai amat memalukan.

    “Alahai kak, awat tak bawak tilam, toto skali naik MRT. Tolonglah kak, jangan bagi malu. Anak-anak tu kalau boleh pantau sikit, jaga harta benda awam bersama.

    “Boleh pula dia bawa buai sangkut dalam MRT. Keselamatan anak tanggungjawab mak bapa ,kalau la emergency brake, tercampak anak, confirm viral salahkan MRT… alahai…,” tulisnya di Facebook.

    Menurut mStar, Transit Aliran Massa (MRT) menyifatkan tindakan ibu itu sebagai amat membahayakan.

    Pihak tersebut dalam satu kenyataan turut menasihati semua penumpang supaya menjaga keselamatan apabila menggunakan perkhidmatan itu dan tidak merosakkan kemudahan disediakan.

  • 6 Reasons Why Fandi Ahmad Should Not Run For Presidency

    6 Reasons Why Fandi Ahmad Should Not Run For Presidency

    Halimah Yacob, Salleh Marican and Farid Khan – three names that have not inspired confidence in their race to the Istana. Singaporeans are getting desperate to the point of encouraging presidential hopeful, Dr Tan Cheng Bock to become Malay. And then there’s Singapore’s favourite footballing son, Fandi Ahmad – a popular choice, even though we don’t see him qualifying as a candidate.

    Will Fandi make a good President?

    Here are 6 reasons why Fandi Ahmad should totally not become President:

    1. He is not educated. He was from a vocational school and has never graduated from a university like many of our very elite millionaire Ministers. Even though he became rich from playing football and his business interests, he is still not considered elite like our Ministers.

    2. Fandi doesn’t have the look of a President. He doesn’t have a back comb, and wear large glasses like our current President who is very Presidential and charming. When Tony Tan speaks, the room is quiet (because people fall asleep). Compare that to Fandi. Wherever he turns up, people make a lot of noise and mob him. How very un-presidential. Who would support Fandi?

    3. He is too handsome. The only President that was handsome was the late President Yusof Ishak. He will make all the men jealous. They will ban their wives from going to Istana open houses and National Day parades. We don’t want that too happen do we?

    4. Fandi is a sporting legend and national icon. How many sporting icons have served in public office? Sporting icons contribute back to the country through their grassroots work. Don’t meddle in the work of the elite leaders and the natural aristocrats of our land.

    5. For a prospective Malay President, he has too many friends from other races to be called truly Malay.

    6. Lastly, Fandi Ahmad is too humble. His humility is the stuff of legend, just like the man himself. Presidents cannot be too humble because they need to keep the political elites and natural aristocrats in check.

    There you have it, 6 reasons why abang Fandi shouldn’t run for Presidency. We totally don’t want a down-to-earth, humble, handsome and capable President who is Malay.

    Convinced yet?

  • Lady Gives Birth On An Uber On The Way To NUH, Gets S$300 Worth Of Uber Vouchers

    Lady Gives Birth On An Uber On The Way To NUH, Gets S$300 Worth Of Uber Vouchers

    Siti Halimah Mahamud was 36 weeks pregnant when the pregnancy pain started again.

    This time, however, the pain didn’t go away.

    The persistent pain led to her calling an ambulance, and an Uber.

    The Uber arrived first.

    Danny Chong was the Uber driver who picked up the pregnant Siti, and her sister-in-law.

    He then proceeded to drive as quickly as he could while ensuring the safety of his pregnant passenger.

    Halfway through the trip, Siti’s water bag burst.

    This took the sisters by surprise, considering Siti had to undergo an induced pregnancy for her first child.

    Some three to five minutes before they reached the National University Hospital, however, an extra passenger popped out.

    Chong was as calm as you could be with a newborn baby at the back of your car.

    He didn’t complain or make any noise through the birthing process, merely assuring the sisters he would drive safe and make them feel as comfortable as possible.

    Needless to say, they did make it safely to the hospital.

    Post-birth

    The Uber adventure did not end with the birth of the baby though.

    Both the driver and the mother had some tokens to remember their exciting ride.

    The mother was given S$300 worth of Uber vouchers, as well as a hamper.

    And perhaps the most lasting of reminders, the hospital documented the baby’s place of birth as Ayer Rajah Expressway.

    As for the driver, he had a more visceral reminder of the event.

    Chong had to take the car to Johor Bahru to get it cleaned, as he couldn’t find a willing local cleaner.

    Uber did reimburse him for the expenses, but according to Chong, there’s still a “smell” in the backseat.

    He did, however, appreciate the thank you text he received the next day from Siti.

    5 stars.

  • Commentary: I’m Indian Muslim And That Defines My Trail Of Thoughts

    Commentary: I’m Indian Muslim And That Defines My Trail Of Thoughts

    The upcoming PE has definitely once again throw the spotlight on Malays and Indian Muslims. In Singapore context, Indian Muslims have always been the sandwich race. We are sandwich between our Malay living lifestyle and our identity. Mendaki double standard is not helping in this matter.

    Malay and Muslim are used interchangeably in Singapore context as and when they feel the need for it (Senang cakap ikut suka hati mak bapak dorang lah).

    I give you a true point in case. Most of my Indian Muslims relatives contributed to both Mendaki and Sinda. When their children applied for the bursary or financial assistance, the favorite quote would be ‘sorry, Mendaki are for Malays. You can try applying to Sinda.”

    But lo and behold, when any of this INDIAN MUSLIMS did well, suddenly they will be invited to Mendaki for whatever not ceremony to pose for pictures with you know who and claim their success under MENDAKI MALAY / MUSLIM banner. And Sinda never does that before. It’s very confusing tau for us! it leads to our own IDENTITY CRISIS…..Sad right?…..

    This has always been our bone of contentions and I don’t think much has changed since.

    As a Mendaki spokesman had declared and confirmed this biases “Malay-Muslim self-help group Yayasan Mendaki has a set of criteria for its financial assistance schemes for students administered on behalf of the Government. Among other things, the recipients “must be of Malay descent” as stated in their identity cards. It spells out a list of what it considers to be “Malay descent”, and this includes 22 ethnicities including Acehnese, Javanese, Boyanese, Sumatran, Sundanese, and Bugis. Students with “double-barrelled” race are eligible if the first race is listed on the identity cards as Malay, said a Mendaki spokesman. For example, a student who is Malay-Arab would qualify for the schemes but an Arab-Malay student would not, he added.”

    CONFUSED HOR!

    P.S – My daughter did not get any financial help from Mendaki after finding out all the stringent rules attached to it. It works out to something like ‘I scratch your back and you have to scratch more of mine’. However, when she did well, she was invited to attend the Mendaki ceremony, giving the impression that she owes her success to Mendaki.

    WHATEVER!
