    Coffee Can Cause Cancer?

    Kopi secara peribadinya tidak menyebabkan kanser. Ia hanya boleh menyebabkan kanser jika diminum terlalu panas. Begitu juga dengan minuman lain. Boleh menyebabkan kanser jika diminum terlalu panas. Jadi kanser hanya disebabkan cara penyediaannya. Bukan biji kopi itu sendiri. Malah kopi dikatakan dapat mencegah kanser.

    Pada 2015, World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) – pertubuhan bukan kerajaan yang menggalakkan penyelidikan tentang kanser memberitahu, kesimpulan dari 6 kajian besar (a meta-analysis), didapati bahawa risiko mendapat kanser hati ( liver cancer) lebih rendah di kalangan peminum kopi. Pada 2013, satu lagi kaji meta-analisis menunjukkan wanita yang minum kopi sehari secawan dapat mengurangkan risiko mendapat kanser rahem.

    Bagaimana kopi menjadi minuman bermanfaat? Terdapat bukti saintifik bahawa bahan dalam biji kopi yang meningkatkan keupayaan insulin bertindak lebih baik, dan bertindak sebagai anti-keradangan. Ia membantu mengelakkan keradangan yang kronik dalam tubuh yang mungkin menjadi punca yang menyebabkan kanser. Dalam kajian lain, saintis percaya kopi dapat menghalang kerosakan DNA, melambatkan pertumbuhan kanser dan mempercepatkan sel-sel abnormal agar segera mati sebelum bertukar menjadi kanser.

    Crowdfunding For Fadli And Fifi To Raise Money For Their Legal Fees (Via POSB)

    Dear Friends,

    This is Fadli’s sister. We have found a lawyer for Fadli and Fifi. After searching for a week, we have found two–and both their fees are 60,000dirhams++. We have decided to engage the lawyer who has been helping us for a longer period of time, and whom we trust to handle this with all their might.

    60,000dirhams is roughly equivalent to $22,300. We aim to raise $25,000 to cover the translation costs and court fees which are on top of the initial sum. See attached screenshot for email correspondence with the lawyer.

    As such, we have set up a brand new account to raise these legal fees for Fadli & Fifi. This account had been started at $0 to ensure transparency and accountability.

    Vanessa and Jocelyn will manage this account & provide all donors regular updates on how much we have raised, as well as receipts of payment to the law firm in Abu Dhabi when we get the transfer across.

    Please email [email protected] to indicate donation amount, and so we can keep you updated on the progress. All email addresses are collected for the sole purpose of updating donors on the progress and to provide evidence that funds have been transferred to the lawyers. All information will be private and confidential.

    We are thankful for everyone who has expressed their support. And we hope we can pull through this together.

    Thank you. Darius Wong, Vanessa Ho, Saiful Rahman, Ogy Ibrahim II

    Yaacob Ibrahim: Halimah Is Consistent And Never Shy To Speak Her Mind, I’ve Known Her For A Long Time

    I’ve known Halimah for a long time. We first met in 1976 when I was an undergrad at the University of Singapore and she was in her third year of law school. We were at the University of Singapore Muslim Society orientation camp, where she was a senior shepherding the starry-eyed freshmen into the intricacies of Islam and its meaning in our lives. I was one of the freshmen.

    Though we went our separate ways after graduation (occasionally meeting at weddings of mutual friends and at community events), I would often hear stories about her commitment to the struggles of low-income families and vulnerable workers.

    If there’s one word to describe the Halimah I’ve known all these years, it is Consistency. Over the years, she has consistently shown her devotion to helping those in need, especially vulnerable women. She is never shy to speak her mind if it means getting more attention for them. Even when she became a parliamentarian in 2001 and later as Speaker of Parliament, Halimah never departed from her causes. I believe this consistency, as well as her dedication to helping our Muslim community navigate and integrate fully into the Singaporean family, will remain a lasting legacy.

    I would like to thank Halimah for all her contributions and wish her the very best in her future endeavours. As she embarks on her new journey, I hope that in the years to come, in whatever capacity she finds herself in, she is able to convince the wider community to look beyond her race, to assess her beyond her gender, and to judge her beyond her religion, into becoming fully one with Singapore and Singaporeans. #yaacobibrahim
