  • Beware! Peeping Tom Helps People Double Check Their Receipt At Sengkang MRT UOB Deposit Machine

    Beware! Peeping Tom Helps People Double Check Their Receipt At Sengkang MRT UOB Deposit Machine

    OK.

    So i was at the UOB deposit machine located at Sengkang MRT Station. If you guys know exactly where it is, you do know that it is in an air-conditioned room and there’s only machines and no tellers.

    When i walked in, i am pretty sure i am the only one in there and it is quiet. And also if somebody were to walk in, im pretty sure it would also be noticeable as the silence will break due to outside sounds coming in when the door opens. Well, you know what i mean. If not, just nod along and try to keep up.. LOL..

    What do you guys normally do after you key in the information like account numbers etc? You double check against the paper that you are holding right? That is exactly what i did…….

    And suddenly i heard a voice just behind my left ear….

    “Ya, correct…”

    I turn around and saw this guy standing behind me, peering over my shoulder to “help” me double check my entry….

    I was stunned like a vegetable. I stared at him and ask sarcastically..

    “Really?”

    “Ya.. really correct..” he answered..

    Menjawab pulak….

    Ask him to back off and i quickly finished up the transaction. He goes back to the corner and just wait for his next victim…

    Just a heads up for those staying in Sengkang..

    😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒

  • Qariah S’pura, A’tii Qah Suhaimi, Duduki Tempat Ke-3 Di Majlis Tilawah Al-Quran Antarabangsa

    Qariah S’pura, A’tii Qah Suhaimi, Duduki Tempat Ke-3 Di Majlis Tilawah Al-Quran Antarabangsa

    Seorang Qariah Singapura berjaya meraih tempat ketiga dalam Majlis Tilawah Al-Quran Peringkat Antarabangsa Ke-59 di Kuala Lumpur, malam Sabtu (20 Mei).

    Ahli seni khat, A’tii Qah Suhaimi mengumpul markah amat dekat dengan pemenang tempat kedua, dari Brunei.

    Johan Qariah ialah peserta Malaysia.

    Ini kali kedua A’tii Qah menyertai Tilawah Al-Quran Peringkat Antarabangsa anjuran Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia, JAKIM.

    Kali terakhir pada tahun 2009, apabila beliau yang waktu itu pelajar tahun akhir pra-universiti di Madrasah Aljunied al-Islamiah, dan mendapat tempat kelima.

    A’tii Qah yang kini penolong mudirah di sebuah sekolah pendidikan khat, perlu mengatasi masalah Sinusitis yang sering menimbulkan masalah di ruang berhawa dingin.

    Hasilnya, beliau bejaya mendapat 86.01% mata, berbanding pemenang tempat kedua yang mendapat 86.63% mata.

    “Waktu pertandingan itu sendiri, saya memang dan sediakan, bawa air di tepi, takut kalau tersedak kah, sebab Sinusitis turut menjejas tekak juga. Lepas itu saya sediakan tisu juga, tapi bila sudah di atas pentas, semua tak ada masalah, jadi lebih fokus pada bacaan sahaja,” ujar beliau.

    Dengan kemenangan ini, A’tii Qah membawa pulang wang tunai RM20,000 (S$6,400) beserta beberapa buah tangan.

    Beliau menambah: “Rancangan saya pada masa depan, insya-Allah akan fokus pada dua perkara. Yang pertama saya akan dengar semula rakaman bacaan saya dan mengenal pasti apa kelemahan-kelemahan saya, insya-Allah akan cuba memperbaiki kekurangan tersebut. Dan akan mendalami lagi ilmu tarannum Al-Quran dan ilmu Al-Quran itu sendiri.

    “Dan fokus kedua pula adalah untuk masyarakat Islam kita, insya-Allah saya ada rancang untuk sebarkan ilmu ini dari segi mengajar dan membimbing orang perlahan-lahan, sebab saya tahu ramai yang masyarakat Islam kita ini sebenarnya berbakat dan mempunyai bakat yang luar biasa, jadi kita kena mendekati orang-orang seperti ini untuk menjadi pelapis masa akan datang insyaAllah.”

    Majlis Tilawah ke-59 itu dimenangi Qari dari Iran, dan qariah dari Malaysia, yang masing-masing membawa pulang hadiah kepingan emas bernilai RM70,000 (S$22,450), wang tunai RM40,000 (S$12,830) dan piala iringan.

  • Explosion At Bangkok’s King Mongkut Hospital Caused By Bomb: Police

    Explosion At Bangkok’s King Mongkut Hospital Caused By Bomb: Police

    Police in Thailand have said that an explosion at the King Mongkut Hospital in Central Bangkok on Monday (May 22) was caused by a bomb.

    Twenty-four people were “slightly injured” following the explosion.

    Of the 24 injured, three are still receiving treatment – mostly for injuries from broken glass, reports said.

    Deputy Police Chief Sriwara Rangsiramanakul told reporters that the hospital is being searched.

    “We found wiring and what seems to be the remains of battery parts that could have been part of the bomb. The intention of the attack is still unclear but this attack is unacceptable and I condemn this,” the deputy police chief said.

    “We found the pieces that were used to make the bomb,” said Kamthorn Aucharoen, commander of the police’s explosive ordnance team.

    “Right now, authorities are checking out closed circuit cameras,” he told Reuters.

    Local broadcaster Thai PBS said the incident took place in a guest room for retired military officials. All of them were taken to the emergency room for treatment, it added.

  • Free Carpooling App For Mosque-Goers To Be Launched In Time For Ramadan

    Free Carpooling App For Mosque-Goers To Be Launched In Time For Ramadan

    Three weeks ago, 15 youths from the Malay/Muslim community decided to come together and create a free carpooling app for mosque-goers.

    Terawhere, now in the final stages of development, will be launched on Friday, tying in with the start of Islam’s holy month of Ramadan.

    Before going to the mosque, drivers can key in a meeting time and location, and share their vehicle number plate and car colour using the app.

    Those looking for a ride to the same mosque can use an in-app map to search for a nearby driver.

    Ahead of the launch, 400 passengers and drivers have already signed up through a link provided by the app creators, after discovering the app online, said co-developer Tengku Hafidz, 24.

    The app, which will be rolled out for Android phones for a start, was unveiled at the Touch of Ramadan Celebrations launch yesterday.

    Its name draws reference from terawih prayers: The main form of night worship during Ramadan.

    Speaking to reporters at the launch at Masjid Al-Ansar in Bedok North, Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Yaacob Ibrahim applauded the idea of carpooling.

    “There are a (few) more improvements they have to make, but I think the idea of carpooling and sharing, especially during the month of Ramadan, is certainly a wonderful idea, not only to save the environment but also to build communities,” he said.

    Healthy eating will feature heavily during Ramadan this year, with the Health Promotion Board partnering the South-East Mosque Cluster to print a booklet of 20 healthy recipes, including for dishes such as chicken nasi biryani and curry fish.

    “I’m glad there’s a lot more information now that’s being spread so that people can understand what are the healthy dishes that they can continue to cook,” said Dr Yaacob.

    Mosque madrasah and mosque kindergarten students between the ages of five and 16 will be issued 10,000 donation cans, and they will be encouraged to save their daily pocket money during Ramadan in these cans.

    Funds will go to the Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund after Hari Raya. The aim is to raise $850,000.

    Junyuan Secondary School student Mohd Irfaan Mohd Ariffin, 15, received his can yesterday and said he will be depositing S$5 daily — all of his pocket money — over the next few weeks.

    “Even though Muslims are (taking part) in this programme, it also serves the needy who are non-Muslim … it’s an impressive way to promote racial harmony,” said Irfaan.

    The line-up of activities includes Quran Hour: A time for all Muslims to recite the Quran together across the various mosques on June 11.

    Cat Gruesomely Murdered At Bukit Batok, Police Report Made

    Twitter user harleen shared disturbing photos of her murdered cat along the HDB stair well at Bukit Batok West Ave 7. She claimed that a neighbour could be responsible for this heinous act. The cat allegedly had its head smashed against the wall and threw down the stairs from the trauma at the right side of its head.

    “My cat was murdered at Bukit Batok West Avenue 7. We suspect that my cat somehow sneaked out of my house and a neighbor smashed his head and threw him down the stairs. There’s a trauma at the right side of his head where most of the blood is coming from. He’s only 10 months fucking old i swear to god whoever who did this to Dan i hope you fucking rot in hell.

    honestly we’re in shock but they never dare to venture out of the house. the furthest they went is always at our shoe rack. my cats aren’t ever a nuisance. they stay in my bloody house and never go around meeting other strays or even disrupting other homes

    update: so I’ve met up with the police and ava officer and while the police checks the cctv, we’ve hand over Dan’s body to the awa for post mortem to figure out his cause of death. we’ve ruled out poisoning and falling from my house window as i live on the 10th storey. currently undergoing investigation and I’ve handed over my cat for post mortem to find out cause of death
