  • Man Arrested In Toa Payoh Hawker Centre Incident Has Bullying History

    Man Arrested In Toa Payoh Hawker Centre Incident Has Bullying History

    Chinese Daily Lianhe Wanbao today exposed the ugly past of the man who banged an elderly man at Lorong 8 Toa Payoh hawker centre. The man who has since been identified as Chow Chuin Yee, a director at Novel Learning Centre.

    The Chinese Daily quoted a 60-year-old neighbour saying how Chow banged on his shoulder and taunted him after doing so. He later made a police report on the elderly man.

    The neighbour who declined to be named said he was returning home with two large bags after grocery shopping, when Chow deliberately knocked into him to get into the lift.

    When the neighbour confronted Chow for banging on him, the bully caught hold of his hand, came close to his face and taunted: “Hit me, I’m standing here for you to hit”.

    The neighbour said he made a police report, but soon realised that Chow too had made a report, alleging that the neighbour had hit him.

    In another incident, Chow is seen performing a ‘flying kick’ at his condominium’s gate, when the security officer was late in opening it as he was in the toilet. His rage was captured in the CCTV.

    Chow rose to notoriety after he pushed the old man at the hawker centre in Lorong 8 Toa Payoh. The Police later arrested Chow man and his 39-year-old wife, Veron Tay, for causing public nuisance.

    Some reports claim that Chow is the chairman of a Resident’s Committee. Novel Learning Centre  is solely owned by Alida Trading Pte Ltd, and Chow is the only listed director of the company. He also owns a renovation company.

  • Selangor Side Up For SOS Cup Challenge

    Selangor Side Up For SOS Cup Challenge

    It’s been almost three months since they last won a match.

    Despite a winless run of eight matches, PKNS coach E Elavarasan is hopeful of leading a Selangor Selection side to a win over a Singapore Selection side in the main match of the Sultan of Selangor’s (SOS) Cup at the National Stadium tomorrow.

    Previous Selangor Selection sides in the exhibition friendly usually comprised the Selangor FA squad with a few invited players, but Elavarasan will lead out essentially his PKNS side for tomorrow’s battle.

    The 52-year-old coach told The New Paper over the phone yesterday: “Pride is on the line (for us).

    “Being nominated to represent Selangor in the SOS Cup is an honour for PKNS.

    “Anyway, a one-off match like this is totally different from a league match… and on Saturday, both teams will go all out for the win.

    Among them are Liberian international striker Patrick Ronaldinho Wleh, who has scored 48 league goals in 4½ seasons in Malaysian football.

    PKNS also have several players capped by Malaysia, such as defenders Amiridzwan Taj, Azmi Muslim and Sabre Mat Abu, midfielders Affizie Faisal and K Gurusamy, and forwards Safee Sali and Khyril Muhymeen.

     

    Singapore Selection coach Fandi Ahmad is not underestimating the quality of the PKNS players.

    “I still consider them a dangerous team because they have many experienced players,” said the local football icon yesterday.

    “As for us, making a new team gel with just two training sessions is not easy.

    “But whether we are underdogs or favourites is immaterial.

    “What matters is whether our players go out on game day, motivated and ready to perform to get the win.”

  • Go Ahead Bus Driver So Rude When I Asked Him When His Bus Will Move Off

    Go Ahead Bus Driver So Rude When I Asked Him When His Bus Will Move Off

    Dear Editors

    This is the bus driver on bus 36. I boarded at Changi Airport terminal 2, asking what time will the bus move out (as bus 36 is a loop service, it tends to wait at Changi Airport terminal 2 for awhile before moving).

    This driver starts to say: ‘who are u to care, can’t u see that the bus is already started? Who are u to care what time I move out!’ In a rude manner and mocked at me for being ‘kpo’.

    That explains why he’s laughing in the photo. Seriously, is being rude the new black?

  • Oxford Study In Malaysia: For Malays, Being Malaysian Equals Being Malay

    Oxford Study In Malaysia: For Malays, Being Malaysian Equals Being Malay

    KUALA LUMPUR, May 5 — National identity and what it means to be Malaysian hold different meanings to Malays and non-Malays, according to a research paper sponsored by the CIMB Foundation.

    The study by Oxford University found that while respondents from the three major ethnic groups (Malay, Chinese, Indian) identified more strongly with their ethnic identities rather than a national one, Malay respondents believed that there was little difference between “being Malaysian” and being Malay.

    It added that integration efforts by the government, such the 1Malaysia concept, may not be successful in its intention as different ethnic communities had varying ideas as to what being Malaysian was.

    “Speaking in terms of being Malaysian to a Malay audience may not promote integration, and could potentially hinder it. More research is necessary to replicate and further investigate the relationships between these variables,” it added.

    By associating the Malaysian identity with being “Malay”, the researchers said that this could in the long run create “negative consequences”, as non-Malays may then view their contributions to the national identity as being disregarded.

    The study added that by assuming the Malaysian identity as being Malay, there was also a risk of it being perceived as an exercise in assimilation rather than integration.

     

    In its recommendation, the study said that the government should rethink its 1Malaysia policy.
