  • Malaysia’s VEP Discriminates Against Singapore Vehicles

    Malaysia’s VEP Discriminates Against Singapore Vehicles

    Malaysia’s upcoming RM20 (S$7.16) entry fee for foreign-registered vehicles travelling through Johor, “discriminates against Singapore vehicles”, the Ministry of Transport (MOT) said on Tuesday (Aug 4).

    The fee kicks in on Oct 1 and the ministry said Singapore will consider matching the levy in some form after studying its implementation.

    MOT also said it is requesting more information from Malaysian authorities on their new requirement for Singapore vehicles to pre-register before entering Malaysia. Over the weekend, Malaysian Deputy Transport Minister Abdul Aziz Kaprawi was quoted by The Star as saying “from Sep 1, Singapore vehicles which are not registered with the Road Transport Department (JPJ) would be refused entry into Malaysia”.

    Online registration starts on Aug 15 and the road charge costs RM10 (S$3.60) for five years. The rules apply to all private vehicles, public buses, taxis, goods vehicles as well as diplomatic cars.

    An MOT spokesperson said “such costs and inconveniences could discourage Singaporeans from going to Malaysia, in particular Johor, for leisure purposes such as shopping, entertainment, sight-seeing, holiday”.

    Last August, Singapore had raised its vehicle entry permit charges for foreign-registered cars from S$20 to S$35 per day, while the Goods Vehicle Permit fee for foreign-registered goods vehicles was raised from S$10 to S$40 per calendar month. In that month, Malaysia announced a 400 per cent increase in toll charges to RM6.80 (S$2.65), RM10.20, RM13.60, RM3.40 and RM5.50 for Class 1 to Class 5 vehicles, respectively.

    In response, Singapore’s Land Transport Authority increased toll charges for all vehicles, except motorcycles, leaving Singapore through the Causeway from Oct 2014.

  • UK Enacts Tough Anti-Foreign Students Law, Why Not Singapore?

    UK Enacts Tough Anti-Foreign Students Law, Why Not Singapore?

    Hi A.S.S.,

    I read today from The Independent about a new law in the UK which bans foreign students from taking up jobs in the country – in other words these foreigners must go home immediately after they complete their studies in the UK and not use their studies as a backdoor to find employment and UK citizenship.

    Why can’t Singapore do the same? Look at the rate that the Singapore government is giving subsidies to foreign students, all at the expense of more deserving locals! Do you really think some Ah Tiong from China who can barely speak English deserves our tax payers’ money more than our own local born and bred Singaporean children?

    Just go to any famous private university in Singapore and look at the calibre of foreign students at these schools! Well known that many rich local sugar daddies drive their expensive cars just to pick up their PRC “god daughters” for some action after work! Pui!

    Read the full UK article here: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/foreign-students-will-be-banned-from-working-in-the-uk-and-forced-to-leave-as-soon-as-they-finish-course-under-theresa-mays-tough-new-visa-rules-10385232.html

    Foreign students will be banned from working in the UK while they study and will be forced to leave the country as soon as they finish their course under tough new rules unveiled by Theresa May, the Home Secretary.

    The move, which was confirmed by the Home Office this morning, is designed to crack down on visa fraud in the UK.

    The new rules will only apply to non-EU students, who accounted for 121,000 immigrants last year. Only 51,000 of those foreign students left the UK, leaving a net influx of 70,000 and Mrs May pointed to these figures to defend her efforts for the stricter rules.

    She hopes to stop immigrants using colleges as a “back door to a British visa” and has banned 870 “bogus colleges” from accepting foreign students.

  • Bangunkan Rasa Kesyukuran, Kecukupan Dalam Hati Dan Fikiran, Berhenti Mengelu

    Bangunkan Rasa Kesyukuran, Kecukupan Dalam Hati Dan Fikiran, Berhenti Mengelu

    Beri jawapan di tempat kosong di bawah ini dan mohon dijawab dengan jujur di dalam hati masing-masing..

    1. Allah menciptakan tertawa dan ______
    2. Allah itu mematikan dan ______
    3. Allah menciptakan lelaki dan ______
    4. Allah memberikan kekayaan dan ______

    Kebanyakkan kita tentu akan dengan mudah menjawab:
    1. Menangis
    2. Menghidupkan
    3. Perempuan
    Tapi bagaimana no. 4? Adakah Kemiskinan menjadi jawapannya???

    Untuk mengetahui jawapannya, mari kita lihat rangkaian firman Allah dalam Surah An-Najm ayat 43-45, dan 48, sebagai rujukan:
    ﻭَﺃَﻧَّﻪُ ﻫُﻮَ ﺃَﺿْﺤَﻚَ ﻭَﺃَﺑْﻜَﻰ
    “dan Dia-lah yang menjadikan orang tertawa dan menangis.” (QS. An-Najm : 43).
    ﻭَﺃَﻧَّﻪُ ﻫُﻮَ ﺃَﻣَﺎﺕَ ﻭَﺃَﺣْﻴَﺎ
    “dan Dia-lah yang mematikan dan menghidupkan.” (QS. An-Najm : 44).
    ﻭَﺃَﻧَّﻪُ ﺧَﻠَﻖَ ﺍﻟﺰَّﻭْﺟَﻴْﻦِ ﺍﻟﺬَّﻛَﺮَ ﻭَﺍﻟْﺄُﻧﺜَﻰ
    “dan Dia-lah yang menciptakan berpasang-pasangan lelaki-lelaki dan perempuan. ” (QS. An-Najm : 45).
    ﻭَﺃَﻧَّﻪُ ﻫُﻮَ ﺃَﻏْﻨَﻰ ﻭَﺃَﻗْﻨَﻰ
    “dan Dia-lah yang memberikan kekayaan dan kecukupan.” (QS. An-Najm : 48).

    Ternyata jawapan kita semua betul untuk no. 1-3, tetapi jawapan untuk no. 4 ramai keliru.
    Jawapan Allah Ta’ala dalam Al-Qur’an bukan Kemiskinan, tapi KECUKUPAN.

    Subhanallah..
    Sesungguhnya Allah Ta’ala hanya memberi Kekayaan dan Kecukupan kepada hamba-Nya. Dan ternyata yang “menciptakan” kemiskinan adalah diri kita sendiri.

    Itulah hakikatnya, mengapa orang-orang yang sentiasa bersyukur; walaupun hidup serba kekurangan ia akan tetap tersenyum dan merasa cukup, bukan merasa miskin!

    Jadi, marilah kita bangun rasa kesyukuran dan kecukupan di dalam hati dan fikiran kita, berhenti mengeluh, berhenti mengatakan rezeki kecil, agar kita menjadi hamba-Nya yang selalu bersyukur.

    Semangat menjemput rezeki yang halal, biar semakin berkat.. Insha’Allah

  • MH370 Search: Reunion Islander Picks Up Water Bottle From Malaysia

    MH370 Search: Reunion Islander Picks Up Water Bottle From Malaysia

    KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 4 — A local lawyer on the French island of Reunion found two mineral water bottles from Malaysia among debris from the Indian Ocean washed ashore amid an ongoing search for the clues to the Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 that went missing over a year ago.

    In an interview with Australian daily Herald Sun, Philippe Creissen said he found three mineral water bottles while walking along the Bois Rouge beach; two of them bore made in Malaysia labels while the third was from Taiwan.

    “I walk along this beach all the time and 99 per cent of the debris that is here comes from Reunion,” Creissen was quoted as saying in the Melbourne-based publication.

    The foreign-made mineral water bottles caught his eye, more so following the discovery of an airline wing part that has been confirmed to be from a Boeing 777, the same model plane as MH370.

    The plane carrying 239 people on board from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing disappeared off the radar on March 8, 2013, believed somewhere over the Indian Ocean; over 130 of the passengers were China nationals.

    Creissen said he handed the bottles to the police, and was later told they had been passed to a Malaysian investigation team on the island.

    The islander had snapped pictures of the bottles which he posted on Twitter account on Sunday which showed two common Malaysian bottled water brands — “Cactus Mineral Water” and “Life Pure Distilled Drinking Water”.

    Questions have been raised over whether those debris found came from MH370 that went missing March 8, last year following the discovery of a wing piece of a plane on the French island of Réunion in the Indian Ocean last week.

    Despite MH370 being the only Boeing 777 to be lost in the Indian Ocean, authorities have not confirmed the debris’ link to the missing aircraft.

    They then spotted men loitering around the area, sending messages and checking their mobile phones.

    After a while, they would walk into one of the bungalows.

    A resident said that at noon on Sunday, he saw a woman in heels climb over the perimeter wall into one of the bungalows.

    Another resident said that a man once rang their doorbell at 2am, and asked if they provided sexual services.

    They said that the men who frequented the suspected brothels in the past seemed affluent, and some even had chauffeurs.

    The men spotted loitering nearby recently, appeared less well-off.

    Residents said they have reported the matter to the police and to their Member of Parliament.
