    CNB Busts Estimated $200,000 Worth of Drugs

    SINGAPORE: More than S$200,000 worth of drugs – 1.9kg of heroin, 1kg of cannabis and 198g of Ice – were seized by the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) in two separate operations on Wednesday (Nov 5).

    CNB said on Thursday that officers deployed in Clementi spotted a 28-year-old suspect arriving at a housing block in a Malaysia-registered motorcycle on Wednesday morning. The Malaysian, according to CNB officers, was seen taking a plastic bag from his vehicle before proceeding to a unit in the housing block.

    CNB said he was arrested after he was seen coming down the block without the bag. When officers went up to the unit the suspect visited, a female suspect was also arrested for attempting to flush the drugs down the toilet. The 42-year-old Singaporean had drugs comprising about 1.28kg of heroin, 1,034g of cannabis, 95g of Ice and one Erimin-5 tablet in her apartment, the agency said.

    CNB added that another two male Malaysians – both aged 40 – were arrested when they tried to leave Singapore in a Malaysia-registered lorry on Wednesday afternoon. They were suspected to be involved in the same drug trafficking syndicate, CNB said.

    In a separate operation, CNB officers alongside Singapore Police Force (SPF) officers arrested another suspected drug trafficker at a HDB void deck in Tampines Street 81. CNB said the 42-year-old Singaporean was then escorted back to his suspected hideout where about 270g of heroin and 51g of Ice were recovered.

    In a subsequent search, CNB said another 416g of heroin and 52g of Ice were also recovered from his apartment. Drug paraphernalia such as numerous improvised drug-smoking apparatus and digital weighing scales were recovered too, the agency added.

    Investigations on all the suspects are ongoing. If convicted, they may face the death penalty.

  • Aliff Aziz Claims He Did Not Steal Handphone

    Aliff Aziz Claims He Did Not Steal Handphone

    KUALA LUMPUR: Acara pradengar album Aliff Aziz berjudul Rebirth sebentar tadi diadakan di pejabat Sony Music Entertainment Malaysia di Publika, Solaris Dutamas turut menjadi ruang beliau menjelaskan apa yang terjadi kepadanya beberapa bulan lalu.

    Bermula dengan isu dikatakan lari dari set penggambaran drama dan pulang Singapura sehinggalah timbul cerita beliau dituduh mencuri telefon bimbit di negara kelahirannya sendiri.

    Menurut Aliff apa yang terjadi menjadi pengajaran terbesar sekali gus mematangkan dirinya.

    “Isu mencuri telefon bimbit itu sudah selesai. Saya berada di tempat dan waktu yang salah. Natijahnya saya terpaksa mengaku bersalah biarpun saya tidak melakukan perkara itu.

    “Undang-undang di Singapura berbeza di sana. Atas saranan pihak peguam bela, saya mengaku saja dan bayar denda untuk memendekkan proses berkaitan.

    “Jika tidak saya perlu melalui proses pengadilan yang panjang. Kejadian ini terjadi empat bulan lalu dan itu antara sebab saya terpaksa berulang alik dari Kuala Lumpur dan Singapura,” katanya yang berulang alik ke Kuala Lumpur kerana melunaskan urusan rakaman album barunya itu.

    Mengenai cerita lari dari set, penyanyi lagu Sayang Sayang ini tidak pernah wujud isu itu dan barangkali ia ditokok tambah pihak tertentu hingga jadi pelbagai versi termasuk isu berhutang.

    “Pertamanya saya minta maaf kepada semua pihak yang tidak berpuas hati dan kecewa dengan saya. Tak nafikan saya berperang dengan komitmen lakonan dan melunaskan rakaman lagu.

    “Saya memang tak pernah lari dari set penggambaran. Cuma ada kalanya kepenatan dan jatuh sakit, saya gagahkan berlakon juga. Saya sedar jika saya tak datang berlakon ia akan menjejaskan perjalanan penggambaran.

    “Tapi bila saya datang berlakon dalam keadaan penat timbul pula cerita seperti bertebaran kononnya saya lalok,” kata Aliff yang mula sedar bahawa beliau belum bersedia untuk melakukan banyak kerja dalam satu masa.

    Enggan mengenang kisah lalu, kehadiran album terbarunya berjudul Rebirth itu membawa semangat baru serta umpama kelahiran semula buat dirinya.

    Album berkenaan sepatutnya diedarkan tahun ini tetapi atas beberapa masalah ia ditunda hingga ke Januari depan.

    “Kali pertama saya muncul dengan album ketika berusia 16 tahun dan kini saya bakal menginjak 24 tahun depan. Jelas saya melalui fasa kematangan dan perubahan dalam hidup.

    “Istimewanya pembikinan album ini turut diberi peluang memilih lagu yang sesuai. Proses pembikinan sejak setahun setengah hampir menemui penamat.

    “Tinggal lagu ciptaan Awi Rafael saja yang belum dirakam. Saya juga sudah tidak sabar untuk kembali ke persada seni dan lupakan kisah lalu yang menjadi pengalaman berharga.

    “Peluang berehat empat bulan lalu menjadi ruang saya bermuhasabah diri. Tak dinafikan saya tertekan tapi semua hikmah berguna, katanya.

    Untuk album barunya lagu Selayaknya Aku ciptaan Faizal Tahir antara kegemaran Aliff. Selayaknya lagu itu dijadikan single pertama.

    Lagu lain yang dimuatkan ialah Hari Ini, Coba, Setelah Kau Pergi, Dengarkan Aku, Pujangga, Novella, Tak Ada Cinta Sepertimu, Dan Lagi Cinta.

  • 28 Year Old Man Jailed For Having Sex With 14 Year Old Step-Daughter

    28 Year Old Man Jailed For Having Sex With 14 Year Old Step-Daughter

    A 28 year old man was sentenced to 6 years in jail for having a sexual relationship with his eldest step daughter and making her pregnant.

    The man had started having a sexual relationship with the girl when she was just 14 and he had sex with her about twice a month for 2 years.

    The offences first started in July 2011 and during the course of their consensual relationship, the girl also got pregnant and gave birth to a boy earlier this year.

    The court heard that the girl did not know that she was pregnant even though she had started to put on weight on her belly in August last year.

    The accused had noticed the swelling of the abdomen but the girl simply said that she didn’t have any other symptoms of pregnancy.​

    The court explained that the man was in a position of trust and influence over the young girl and he had abused that relationship for his own sexual gain.

    The man was charged with 45 charges but he pleaded guilty to 9.

  • Meet The Navy Seal Who Shot Osama Bin Laden:  Rob O’Neil

    Meet The Navy Seal Who Shot Osama Bin Laden: Rob O’Neil

    The identity of a US Navy Seal who shot and killed Osama Bin Laden in 2011 has been revealed as Rob O’Neill.

    Mr O’Neill, 38, is a highly decorated veteran who became a public speaker following his 16 years of service in the US military.

    He has been named by the special operations community blog SPFrep.com ahead of an interview with Fox News, in which he decides to waive his anonymity and claims to be the man who killed Bin Laden, due to air on 11 and 12 November.

    Mr O’Neill’s father, Tom O’Neill, confirmed his son’s identity to the Daily Mail, and told the paper that he is not worried about the potential threat posed by Rob revealing his identity as the member of Team Six who shot the al-Qaeda founder three times in the head.

    “People are asking if we are worried that Isis will come and get us because Rob is going public. I say I’ll paint a big target on my front door and say come and get us,” he told the paper.

    Mr O’Neill had previously been referred to as “The Shooter” since the two minute raid of Bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, on 2 May 2011, and his apparent identity has been kept secret by US officials to protect his safety.

    Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton took personal responsibility, and praise, for the US finding and killing Osama bin Laden Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton took personal responsibility, and praise, for the US finding and killing Osama bin Laden.

    But Mr O’Neill has reportedly decided to speak out after losing some of his military benefits because he left the Seals after 16 years instead of serving a full 20 years.

    The veteran was decorated 52 times and was awarded two Silver Stars and four Bronze Stars with Valour, among many others.

    Fox News publicised its interview with O’Neill before he revealed his identity, with correspondent Peter Doocy stating that the two-part programme called The Man Who Killed Osama Bin Laden would provide “an extensive, first-hand account of the mission, including the unexpected crash of one of the helicopters that night and why Seal Team Six feared for their lives”.

    The revelation of the identity of Bin Laden’s apparent killer comes a day after the head of the US Naval Warfare Special Command issued a letter warning Navy Seals against breaking their promise to maintain secrecy after their missions.

    In the letter obtained by CNN, Adm. Brian Losey reminds Seals that “the most important credit we can garner is the respect of our Teammates and Partners”.

    Rob O’Neil has become a public speaker since leaving the US Navy Seals
    He writes: “We do not abide wilful or selfish disregard for our core values in return for public notoriety and financial gain.

    “Any real credit to be rendered is about the incredible focus, commitment, and teamwork of this diverse network and the years of hard work undertaken with little individual public credit. It is the nature of our profession,” he wrote.

  • Encouraging Use Of The Malay Language:  More Exhibitions and Talks To Be Organised

    Encouraging Use Of The Malay Language: More Exhibitions and Talks To Be Organised

    More exhibitions, performances and book talks will be held to revitalise the Malay language.

    This was detailed by the Minister for Culture, Community and Youth Lawrence Wong in parliament today.

    “The NHB (National Heritage Board) will support the plans by the Malay Language Council to organise Bulan Bahasa on a larger scale,” he said.

    These plans include “exhibitions … showcasing the contributions of our literary pioneers and community leaders”, “book talks and Malay language performances targeted at students of all ages, from pre-school to tertiary”.

    According to the National Institute of Education, Bulan Bahasa aims to “encourage the use of Malay Language in everyday activities.”

    Mr Wong said this in a response to a question by Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC Member of Parliament Zainudin Nordin who asked about the relevance of Bulan Bahasa and “whether the teaching and learning of the Malay language will be further improved to inspire our younger generation to use it more”.

    Mr Wong also said that “group discussions, debates, role-plays, and the use of technology” have been used to make lessons “more fun and engaging”, after the Mother Tongue Language Review Committee made recommendations to do so in 2010.

    “Schools also organise Mother Tongue Fortnights annually in collaboration with community organisations and stakeholders, during which cultural activities are showcased to stimulate students’ interest in their mother tongue and help them to see how the language can come alive.

    “Some schools go the extra mile to expose their non-Malay students to the Malay language and culture.

    He said that, “A good example is Edgefield Secondary School where all its students learn conversational mother tongue languages, including Malay, as well as about the respective cultures, in Secondary 1.”

    Mr Wong also said pre-schools can tap on the Lee Kuan Yew Fund for Bilingualism (LKYFB), which was set up to promote bilingualism among pre-school children.
