    Malaysia On Alert In Anticipation Of The Release Of 350 Jemaah Islamiah Prisoners In Indonesia

    Malaysians authorities are on the alert following the expected release of about 350 former Jemaah Islamiah members from prisons in Indonesia.

    Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said Malaysian police was aware of the possible release of the prisoners, which is expected to be on Friday.

    “The police are working with their Indonesian counterparts to secure the full list of prisoners released,” he told a press conference at the police headquarters in Bukit Aman on Thursday.

    “We will remain vigilant in the matter.”

    He was commenting on JI bomb expert Malaysian Taufik Abdul Halim, 39, who would be sent back to Malaysia after being incarcerated in Indonesia for 12 years.

    Taufik is the brother-in-law of FBI most wanted terrorist Zulkifli Abdul Khir, better known as Marwan.

    “Action will be taken against him if he has committed any criminal offences in Malaysia. “The police will keep close tabs on him,” he said.

    Dr Ahmad Zahid vowed that the country would not be used as a base or transit point for terrorists.

    “We are committed towards combating terrorism and using existing laws to do so. “The country will not be a “haven” for terrorists or militants,” he said.

    It was reported that Taufik was released from an Indonesian prison after being jailed for 12 years for an attempted bombing of a shopping mall in Jakarta on August 1, 2001.

    He is expected to arrive from Indonesia on Thursday, after which he would be under police custody for some time.

    Taufik was also a member of Malaysian militant group Kumpulan Militan Malaysia (KMM), responsible for murders and numerous bank robberies.

    Stabbing at Raffles Green

    SINGAPORE – A fight between two men apparently broke out at Raffles Green during lunchtime on Friday, leaving one badly wounded.

    A reader was told by eyewitnesses that two middle-aged Chinese men got into an argument outside Raffles Place MRT station just before 1pm on Friday, after which one man stabbed the other.

    Another eyewitness, Ms Qiu, told Lianhe Wanbao two men were tussling with each other, and one took out a knife to stab the other in the waist, butt and left hand.

    The fight attracted the stares of passers-by, and one woman attempted to pull them apart. Both fell to the ground after the stabbing. Ms Qiu said that the attacker had attempted to snatch the victim’s laptop bag.

    Mr Ye Xiang, 27, who works at a bank, told Wanbao he saw the attacker stabbing the victim with a knife of about 15cm in length. Three other men, two Caucasian and one Indian, also came forward to help.

    The man who was injured chased after the one who stabbed him for about 200m, and both men ended up near UOB Plaza. Student Roy Chng, 25, said that when he arrived on the scene at 1pm, an ambulance was attending to the victim. The attacker appeared to have an injury on his arm.

    The two men involved have been sent to Singapore General Hospital, said the Singapore Civil Defence Force.

  • 10 Acronyms Only Singaporeans Can Come Up With

    10 Acronyms Only Singaporeans Can Come Up With

    In a country where acronyms rule, the latest abbreviation takes the cake.

    A professional mediation organisation, Singapore International Mediation Institute – or rather unfortunately SIMI (hokkien for what) – opened on Nov. 5, 2014. People can consult SIMI on matters regarding mediation. We propose they call themselves Singapore International Mediation Institute Dealing Against Incredibly Judgemental Idiots or SIMI DAIJI.

    Before you go SMLJ, here are 10 other abbreviations only Singaporeans can come up with.

     

    1. The forced one

    Matador 2

    MATADOR – Man-portable Anti-Tank, Anti-DOoR

    Someone must have been pointed at with the MATADOR during the weapon’s naming process. Otherwise, how do you explain this?

     

    2. The morale booster

    ASPIRE -Applied Study in Polytechnics and ITE Review

    Trying to convince the masses that a degree isn’t the key to success in Singapore? The acronym must conjure up some hope then.

     

    3. The unpronounceable 

    iFWLB – Internet Foreign Worker Levy Billing system

    The Ministry of Manpower might have the answer to why this system is shortened.

     

    4. The absolutely no link one

    Screen Shot 2014-11-10 at 3.43.48 PM

    APPLES – Application for Passport On-line Electronic System

    Sounds like a partnership between Immigration and Checkpoints Authority and Health Promotion Board. An apple a day keeps the passport extended?

     

    5. The painful obvious one

    Screen Shot 2014-11-10 at 3.44.52 PM

    e-XTEND – Extension of Short Term Visit Pass

    Shouldn’t it be ESTVP? Well, at least it’s obvious.

     

    6. The paying-tax-is-such-a-breeze acronym

    EASY

    EASY – e-Services Authorisation System

    Remember to file tax for your organisation. It is EASY. Come to think about it, IRAS will never use EVADE or SIAM.

     

    7. The acronym that made people think of a name to fit into it

    SPUR

    SPUR -Skills Programme for Upgrading and Resilience

    Sometimes it’s easier to think of the acronym first. It’s like buying a frame first before you develop the photograph.

     

    8.  The whacked one

    LUP

    LUP – Lift Upgrading Programe

    LUP, hokkien for whack, is a must for the Housing Development Board. If not, sure LUP by netizens.

     

    9. The sinner

    SIN – Singapore

    Well, someone is angry.

  • PM Lee:  More Talking At “Deradicalisation Symposium” Can Help Tackle ISIS

    PM Lee: More Talking At “Deradicalisation Symposium” Can Help Tackle ISIS

    Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said at the East Asia Summit on Thursday that more should be done to prevent religious extremism in the region especially given the threat posed by ISIS.

    PM Lee said that there is no purely military solution to such “non-traditional security threats” but it is still necessary to fight and weaken the group.

    He suggested that the ideological roots of the group should be tackled instead and in rlation to this, he said that de-radicalisation Symposium may be helpful.

    He said that such a symposium could benefit the region as experts could share best practices.

    For example, in Singapore, PM Lee boasted that we have dealt with detainees who have planned terror attacks in Singapore before and Singapore strongly condemns ISIS’ actions.

    PM Lee also praised the US’s firm leadership on the issue and said that Singapore is ready to support where it can.

    Mr Lee also said at the summit that the global economy also has to remain open and keep protectionism at bay.

    He also emphasised that global leaders should quickly work to conclude negotiations on the various trade pacts such as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership.

    Moving forward in this, PM Lee said that one of the most important aspects was the relationship between USA and China as this will determine stability in the world.

    He also commented that there have been signs of a thaw in relations, after a period of friction over historical issues and territorial disputes among China Japan and South Korea and this is good.

    PM Lee will soon be heading to Australia for the G20 summit in Brisbane which starts on Saturday.
