    Lelaki Cedera Selepas Dilanggar Bas Di Hougang

    Seorang lelaki terperangkap di bawah sebuah bas selama 45 minit setelah dilanggar bas itu di Hougang Avenue 9 hari ini (30 Sep).

    Lelaki itu, yang berusia 50-an tahun, diselamatkan oleh para pegawai Pasukan Pertahanan Awam Singapura (SCDF). Beliau mengalami kecederaan pada kaki namun dalam keadaan sedar ketika dibawa ke Hospital Tan Tock Seng, menurut SCDF.

    SCDF menyatakan ia menerima panggilan tentang nahas itu sekitar 10.35 pagi, dan mengerahkan sebuah kereta bomba, Red Rhino, dua motosikal bomba, sebuah ambulans dan sebuah kenderaan sokongan ke tempat kejadian. Hospital itu juga diletakkan dalam keadaan bersiap sedia untuk menerima pesakit itu.

    Encik Bernard Chua, seorang pengawal keselamatan berusia 44 tahun, berada di dalam bas itu apabila nahas itu berlaku.

    “Saya di dalam bas apabila tiba-tiba terdengar bunyi ‘boom’ yang amat kuat. Kemudian saya dengar orang ramai dalam bas terpekik-pekik. Kami kemudian menyedari ada seseorang yang dilanggar. Tiada sesiapa yang menghubungi polis, saya orang pertama yang menghubungi polis,” katanya.

    Gambar-gambar yang dilihat oleh Mediacorp menunjukkan lelaki itu dalam kesakitan, dan kepala serta lengannya juga berdarah.

    Apabila Mediacorp ke tempat kejadian sekitar 11.45 pagi, sekurang-kurangnya lima pejalan kaki dilihat menyeberangi jalan raya tanpa menghiraukan lampu trafik dalam tempoh setengah jam.

    Seorang penduduk di kawasan itu, Cik Lim, berkata memang satu kebiasaan untuk melihat orang ramai menyeberangi jalan raya tanpa menghiraukan lampu trafik di situ.

    “Ini jalan raya kecil. Memang biasa orang ramai menyeberang tanpa menggunakan lampu trafik. Saya tidak menjangkakan nahas sebegini berlaku,” katanya.

  • LTA Considers Activating ERP Gantry For KPE

    LTA Considers Activating ERP Gantry For KPE

    The Land Transport Authority (LTA) said on Friday (Sept 30) that it is considering whether it is feasible to activate the Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) gantry located just before the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) tunnel entrance, after the Tampines Road entry slip road.

    According to the LTA, the traffic speeds along that stretch of the KPE between the Tampines Expressway and Airport Road have “persistently fallen below the optimal speed range of 45kmh to 65kmh for expressways during the morning peak hours on weekdays”.

    This, the LTA said, has led to significant and persistent traffic congestion.

    “We need to monitor the traffic situation in the next quarter, before making the decision on whether we will turn the gantry on,” said a spokesperson for the LTA, adding that this particular gantry has not been activated since the KPE was open.

    “We will have to see if people start using alternative routes and the situation changes,” the spokesman added.

    Meanwhile, the LTA said it has been stepping up improvements for public transport options to help cater to the growing population in the north-east area of Singapore, such as the introduction of two new City Direct bus services from the fourth quarter of 2016, and recently adding 15 new trains to the North East Line.

  • Mufti Ajak Umat Islam Sebar Rahmah Sesama Insan Dalam Tazkirah Awal Muharram

    Mufti Ajak Umat Islam Sebar Rahmah Sesama Insan Dalam Tazkirah Awal Muharram

    Mufti Negara, Dr Mohamed Fatris Bakaram mengajak umat Islam tempatan supaya meneruskan gagasan hijrah Nabi Muhammad dengan menjadi sebuah masyarakat yang menyebarkan rahmah sesama insan.

    Beliau berkata demikian di majlis Sambutan Awal Muharram 1438 Hijrah, di Masjid Al-Istighfar, malam tadi (1 Okt).

    Sejajar dengan tema sambutannya, Masyarakat Berjiwa Rahmah, Dr Fatris berkata peristiwa hijrah itu mengingatkan kita tentang keperluan anjakan paradigma dalam kehidupan insan, penyesuaian kepada perubahan serta mengorak langkah ke arah pembangunan dan kemajuan.

    Turut hadir di acara tersebut ialah Menteri Bertanggungjawab bagi Ehwal Masyarakat Islam, Dr Yaacob Ibrahim, Menteri Sekitaran dan Sumber Air Masagos Zulkifli serta beberapa pemimpin Melayu/Islam yang lain.

    PERLU KUKUHKAN KEHIDUPAN DALAM MASYARAKAT MAJMUK

    Dalam tazkirahnya yang disampaikan selepas solat Maghrib, Mufti menekankan bahawa orang-orang Islam yang baik adalah mereka yang memberi manfaat kepada orang lain.

    Beliau berkata sifat rahmah dapat disebarkan dengan mengukuhkan kehidupan dalam masyarakat majmuk di negara ini dengan sikap saling membantu sesama insan.

    Ini termasuk prihatin terhadap anggota masyarakat lain dan peka akan keperluan kehidupan beragama di sini.

    ETOS HIJRAH AJAK AMALKAN ISLAM DALAM KONTEKS SOSIO-BUDAYA

    Dr Fatris menambah bahawa etos penghijrahan mengajak kita supaya terus mengamalkan ajaran Islam dengan mengambil kira konteks sosio-budaya sesuatu tempat.

    Ini bermakna kita perlu mengambil kira keperluan serta realiti kehidupan – sesuatu yang sudah lama diamalkan para ulama bagi mencari huraian kepada kehidupan masyarakat.

    Ia juga sekaligus menyumbang kepada kefahaman Islam dengan lensa yang terbuka dan inklusif, sejajar dengan hakikat bahawa agama Islam itu tidak terhad kepada sesuatu zaman ataupun sepadan geografi.

    Malah, sejarah Islam sendiri menunjukkan sememangnya agama itu boleh bertapak dengan jayanya dalam masyarakat majmuk di mana umatnya merupakan golongan minoriti.

    Dr Fatris juga menekankan peri penting melihat pada konsep Siyasah Al-Syariah daripada teks-teks klasikal menerusi kaca mata hari ini.

    Menurutnya, memahami maksud dan konteks itu penting, bukan sahaja bagi memahami teks agama tetapi juga untuk mengenalpasti maksud dan tujuan sebenar di sebalik pendapat ulama tentang sesuatu perkara.

  • Balestier Khalsa Suspends Winger Zulkiffli Hassim For Allegedly Racially Abusing Referee

    Balestier Khalsa Suspends Winger Zulkiffli Hassim For Allegedly Racially Abusing Referee

    Balestier Khalsa winger Zulkiffli Hassim will not turn out for his club any more in the 2016 season.

    The Football Association of Singapore (FAS) Disciplinary Committee (DC) has found him guilty of making derogatory racial remarks.

    The incident occurred in Balestier’s 2-1 loss to Geylang International in a Great Eastern-Yeo’s S.League match on Aug 25, with the 30-year-old allegedly making remarks of a racial nature against assistant referee Y Sathyakumar in the 90th minute.

    This is not the first incident Zulkiffli has been mired in that saw racial undertones. He was hauled up for a similar incident four years ago.

    In April 2012, the DC threw the book at Zulkiffli, after he pleaded guilty to charges of making racial remarks against Woodlands Wellington’s Trinidadian defender Fabian Lewis.

    He was banned for five games and received a suspended fine of $1,000.

    This time around, he could see graver punishment.

    Balestier, of their own accord, have suspended him without pay from Sept 8, and will hold a hearing of their own tomorrow.

    Zulkiffli has not turned out for Balestier since Aug 25, missing one game – last week’s 1-1 draw with Warriors FC – and will play no part in the Tigers’ last four league games of the season.

    He will also sit out Balestier’s play-off for third place in the RHB Singapore Cup on Oct 29.

    “Racial abuse has no place in the S.League and in Singapore, and for a club this is an extremely serious issue that is not to be treated lightly,” said Balestier chairman S Thavaneson.

    “We don’t want to pre-judge him, but we decided to suspend him pending his DC hearing, and in that letter to him told him that the club reserve the right to take (further) disciplinary action against him.

    “The first time (Zulkiffli was found guilty for a similar offence) we were sympathetic but firm, and told him that the club would not tolerate any form of racial abuse, against a player, official or fan. He agreed and realised the seriousness of his undertaking.”

    Balestier stood by their man in 2012, pointing to the fact that this was the first instance of such an offence, and while it would not be tolerated, was an isolated incident that happened in the heat of the moment in a match.

    But, with the club hauling him up for a hearing of their own this time, the signs are not good for Zulkiffli.

    “We want to follow due process, but the message must be clear and it must go down not just to players of Balestier, but to everyone,” said Thavaneson.

    “Racial abuse can lead to uglier things, and there is no place for it here.”

    A contrite Zulkiffli told The New Paper that he has missed being involved with his team.

    “I regret what I did, it was in the heat of the moment, and I couldn’t control my anger then,” he said, revealing that he has been going for runs, and playing social football on weekends to stay in shape.

    “I have to apologise to the club and my team. We don’t have a very big squad, and with some of the players out injured, I really feel guilty that I cannot help them out on the pitch.”

  • Singaporeans The Unhappiest Employees Out Of 7 Asian Markets

    Singaporeans The Unhappiest Employees Out Of 7 Asian Markets

    Singaporeans are the unhappiest employees out of of seven Asian markets, according to JobStreet.com’s Job Happiness Index released on Thursday (29 September).

    Out of the 67,764 participants from Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Hong Kong and Vietnam surveyed in June, the 3,398 Singaporean respondents averaged a 5.09 score out of the highest – and happiest – score of 10.

    Workers in the Philippines were found to be the happiest, with an average score of 6.25. The average scores of the remaining markets were (in ascending order of happiness): Malaysia (5.22); Vietnam (5.48); Hong Kong (5.56); Thailand (5.74) and Indonesia (6.16).

    Singaporeans were also the most pessimistic about their prospects in their existing jobs. Sentiment ratings and future outlooks about their jobs saw them scoring an average of 4.93, the unhappiest score among the surveyed markets.

    Among the Singaporean respondents, those in the C-suites (i.e. top corporate executives) were found to be the unhappiest with an average score of 4.4, while fresh graduates were the happiest employees with an average score of 5.3. Those working in the sciences, hotels and restaurants, as well as human resources were found to be the happiest employees.

    Lack of management competency was the top reason cited by Singaporean respondents for being unhappy at work. The second biggest factor was the lack of promotions and career development, followed by poor training and development programmes.

    Rising unemployment and a slower economy were not factored in the survey, although these factors have a dampening effect, said Chook Yuh Yng, country manager of JobsStreet.com Singapore.

    “The number of job seekers is outnumbering vacancies by 100 to 93 for the first time in four years. On the other end of the spectrum, the happiest employees in the Philippines are enjoying stronger economic and job growth,” she said.

    Singaporean respondents cited convenient work location, having good colleagues and company reputation as key factors underpinning job happiness. They also recommended getting a new job (30 per cent), a higher salary (19 per cent) and receiving recognition from one’s company (9 per cent) as ways to increase job happiness.
