  • Family Mourning Father’s Death Scramble To Find Venue For Wake After Rejected By Marine Parade Town Council

    Family Mourning Father’s Death Scramble To Find Venue For Wake After Rejected By Marine Parade Town Council

    For a long time, I have refrained from posting unless necessary. Pondered long and hard about this before deciding to post this. I hope friends will help to share this reflection as there is a pertinent issue which the future young leaders of Singapore need to understand this fundamental value system and review the workings of the people under them. Only then will we see a better Singapore that we can truly belong to. These are facts with no added imagination.

    A good friend’s father passed away suddenly on the late night of 26 Aug 2016, Fri. Those who have experienced the unfortunate demise of a loved one would know that it is a race against time to secure a location and inform the undertaker for the wake to proceed smoothly and immediately once the dawn breaks.

    Her family stays in Serangoon Avenue 4, under Aljunied GRC management. But due to current home improvement works, showflats occupied their block’s and vicinity blocks’ void decks. Her dad’s wake cannot take place at their house void deck or immediate adjacent blocks as a result. They have no choice but to apply for the multipurpose hall opposite their flat, across a main road which is managed by Marine Parade GRC.

    They called Marine Parade Town Council of that area and was told that the venue for the 4 days which her family needs (27th, 28th, 29th, 30th Aug) IS AVAILABLE, but the booking is still subject to the approval of the senior officer who can only revert the following day by 730am (27th Aug– first day of the wake), leaving the family with very little time to confirm with the undertaker where to setup.

    The next morning (27th Aug), lo and behold, she was told that her request is not approved because they are “not resident of that area”!!!! (Quite frankly, if it were me, I would have sworn with the most beautiful language in that the exasperated and ridiculous situation.) Their family has no time but to scramble to look for a farther venue within Aljunied GRC.

    And the most mind boggling call event took place on the third day of the wake when she received a call from the same officer who rejected her booking as he wanted to update her about the fact that the request is not approved. Upon clarification, it turns out that what he meant by “not a resident of the area” was that her HDB estate does not belong to the Marine Parade GRC because her estate is from the Aljunied GRC.

    What is the point of “updating” her on the third day into the wake when people are mourning? In the family’s moment of need and bereavement, no help or compassion was offered from MPGRC. In fact, the rejection of the booking led to a lot of stress and a mad rush.
    Dear friends….i try to be as objective as possible in this. But there is obviously politics in play here. Or are we reading too much in this?

    The reason for not approving it is simply unacceptable especially given that the venue is available. Just because their residence belongs to the Aljunied GRC (run by Worker’s Party), they are not allowed to use PAP run facilities? Am I assuming too much political play in this? I do not think so. Are we back to the whole game of “ïf you vote for me, then you will enjoy privileges?” tactics which the old regime is so fond of using?

    Why is there the biased assumption that just because their residence is in Aljunied GRC, they voted for the Workers’ Party? We are all Singaporeans. Sure, Politics is a dirty game. But there are OB markers as to where games cannot be played. A bereaving moment qualifies!

    Utterly disappointed, I hope the relevant party reflect on its discriminatory practices and have some compassion.

    Connect, not divide.

  • Tak Mahu Membayar Untuk Bagasi Berlebihan, Jemaah Indonesia “Hamil” Pakaian

    Tak Mahu Membayar Untuk Bagasi Berlebihan, Jemaah Indonesia “Hamil” Pakaian

    INDONESIA: Gara-gara mahu membawa banyak barangan pulang ke tanah air namun mahu mengelak daripada bagasi ditimbang dengan berat yang berlebihan, sepasang suami isteri jemaah haji Indonesia ini nekad menyembunyikan kain baju di bahagian perut.

    Cik Fitri dan suaminya, mengikat kain baju tersebut di bahagian perut dan kemudian mereka memakai pakaian yang longgar semata-mata untuk mengelak daripada bagasi mereka ditimbang dengan berat yang berlebihan.

    Hasilnya, pasangan itu kelihatan seperti orang yang hamil.

    MAHU BAWA SEMUA YANG DIBELI PULANG KE TANAH AIR

    Apabila ditanya, Cik Fitri hanya tersipu malu sambil berkata: “Ini bukan hamil, tetapi isinya baju.”

    Cik Fitri yang enggan gambarnya dipetik menambah, beliau sengaja mengubah-suai supaya barang-barang yang dibeli semuanya boleh dibawa pulang ke Indonesia.

    “Saya cuba sahaja dan diberitahu oleh teman-teman,” tambah beliau.

    Yang lucunya, perut suami Cik Fitri, yang agak pendiam, juga kelihatan seperti orang hamil namun beliau seperti acuh tidak acuh meskipun menjadi perhatian ramai.

    Agak kelam-kabut juga apabila Cik Fitri hendak ke tandas dalam keadaan “hamil”.

    PERUT KEMBALI KEMPIS

    Namun begitu, Cik Fitri sempat bergurau sambil memperlihatkan bahagian perut beliau yang sudah kembali kempis kerana kain baju yang disembunyikan itu sudah dilepaskan.

    “Ini, saya sudah tidak hamil lagi,” gurau Cik Fitri sambil bergegas ke tandas.

    Jemaah haji Indonesia sebenarnya diberikan dua bagasi tangan untuk mengisi barangan peribadi serta yang dibeli.

    Satu bagasi boleh diisikan dengan barangan seberat 32 kilogram, manakala beg yang lebih kecil pula boleh diisi maksimum tujuh kilogram.

    Sekiranya Cik Fitri serta suami mengisi bagasi-bagasi tersebut sehingga berat maksimun, bermakna mereka membawa pulang barangan seberat 78 kilogram, mencukupi untuk membawa oleh-oleh buat keluarga di rumah.

  • Premier Taxi Uncle Picks Up Muslim Passenger Twice In Succession, Later Treats Him To A Drink

    Premier Taxi Uncle Picks Up Muslim Passenger Twice In Succession, Later Treats Him To A Drink

    Strangers’ Lunch – Taxi Uncle & Me

    A Story of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gratitude, Diversity & Inclusivity
    [Disclaimer: Pardon my unpolished sentences]

    Uncle: Hi good afternoon Sir. Where to Sir?

    It was noon & with mooncake boxes on hand, I boarded the taxi, ready to gift mooncakes to our clients. This is a tradition of our organization & makes part of a relationship building process – in celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

    Uncle: You also like to eat Mooncakes?

    Me: Oh thanks for asking Uncle. These mooncakes are not for me, Uncle. They are for my customers.

    The taxi ride to the customer’s place was filled with rich conversation. Taxi uncle in his 60s sharing with me powerful (and sure-fire) tips on staying healthy.

    Me: Uncle, you are in your 60s but look like you’re in your 40s…

    Uncle: I have a secret to share. You must always think positive and keep yourself happy. And for me, I do breathing exercise twice a day. Do at least 10-minutes of slow and full breathing twice a day. That helps me keep fit. Take care of yourself. You are still young

    Upon reaching the customer’s site, I settled with the taxi uncle & thanked him for the pleasant ride.

    Passed on the mooncakes to the customer and had to get to my next destination for lunch. No nearby bus stops so I decided I had to take a taxi.

    Guess what? Same taxi uncle was there hoping to find a passenger. Again, I boarded his taxi.

    Uncle: Wow, today lucky day for me. Don’t have to wait too long and I get the same passenger!

    Me: Uncle, no It’s my lucky day. If not for you I have to wait long time for taxi here.

    Me: Uncle, you may stop me at any nearby coffeeshop. I would like to have lunch.

    Uncle: Sure. Hey, don’t mind me asking. Are you Muslim? I will bring you to the coffeeshop with more food for you. Better for you.

    Me: Yes uncle. Please do. Hope there is one near here.

    Uncle: Have, quite near. Can I have lunch with you too? I’m getting hungry as well.

    Me: Yes, why not Uncle.

    We reached the lunch place. It was awkward as there was no business/friendship/family relationship between Uncle and me after that taxi ride. There wasn’t anything in it for us to be having lunch together (not family, not friends yet, not colleagues). But there we were, having lunch at the same table. We had a good chat about life and filial piety in the short lunch time.

    Uncle: What drink you want?

    After countless attempts of profusely refusing Uncle’s unsolicited generosity, I gave up & allowed a display of unsolicited generosity by Uncle.

    This simple journey led to me going into a mode of self-realisation. I have penned down here some lessons learned with most of it being a reminder to me & possibly to all reading this.

    Lessons Learned:
    1. There should be no hierarchy in life.
    2. Obstacles to mutual respect are unnatural & can be easily overcome.
    3. Respect one and all.
    4. Celebrate diversity & inclusivity
    5. Give thanks.

    *Premier Taxi Uncle. Unfortunately I did not take down your name/mobile number but here’s thanks to you & wish you all the best !

    [This post has been forwarded to Premier Taxis as a compliment to Uncle]
