  • If Your Son Was Born On ‘Eagle Express’, Would You Name Him ‘Mohd Eagle’?

    If Your Son Was Born On ‘Eagle Express’, Would You Name Him ‘Mohd Eagle’?

    KUALA LUMPUR: Gara-gara isteri beliau bersalin dalam bas bernama Eagle Express, rakan-rakannya berseloroh, apa kata berikan nama anak lelakinya itu ‘Mohd Eagle’!

    Mujur pemandu bas Eagle Express itu, Muhammad Ikhsan Ismail, 45 tahun, berkata beliau tidak akan menerima ‘saranan’ nakal rakan-rakannya itu dan belum memutuskan nama yang akan diberikan kepada anaknya.

    Menceritakan kejadian pada 18 Januari lalu itu kepada akhbar Harian Metro, beliau berkata apabila isterinya, Noridayu Ali, 29 tahun, rasa sakit hendak bersalin, beliau membawanya menggunakan bas dari rumahnya di Rawang, Selangor, ke Hospital Sungai Buloh.

    Bagaimanapun, isterinya itu bersalin di tempat duduk belakang bas yang dipandunya itu pada 1.45 petang, sebelum sempat tiba di hospital.

    “Saya terpaksa berhentikan bas di tepi jalan bila isteri panggil saya, dan terkejut tengok bayi dah keluar.

    “Kelam kabut saya waktu itu dan terpaksa terus memandu ke bahagian kecemasan walaupun jalan sempit nak masuk dengan bas,” kata Encik Muhammad Ikhsan kepada Harian Metro.

    Menurutnya, beliau lalu membunyikan hon dan memaklumkan isterinya sudah bersalin dalam bas.

    Malah, menurut Harian Metro, gambar isterinya setelah melahirkan bayi lelaki mereka di dalam bas itu menjadi viral di Facebook.

  • Netizens Lash Out At Woman Who Suggested The Lower Income Should Not Give Birth To Too Many Children

    Netizens Lash Out At Woman Who Suggested The Lower Income Should Not Give Birth To Too Many Children

    A lady by the name of Syazwani decided to post her rant on Facebook regarding family planning in Malaysia. In her rant, she even backed it up with a couple of research articles as she wanted to spread an intellectual advice to others.

    She said, “You know your husband’s income is RM800-RM1000, then don’t give birth to so many children until 5-6 kids la. Until you trouble yourself, until you don’t even have money for food and drinks. Then, you blame the government.” “In these times, if your pay is below RM1000, it is only enough to sustain one child. No need to make a whole team of children. Be smart in planning (on having) children.”

    To ensure that people truly understand her message, she even broke down the cost of living with only RM1000 as income. House: RM400 Transportation: RM200 (perhaps only a motorbike) Water and Electricity Bills: RM200 Total so far: RM800 Remaining: Only RM200 Syazwani, who is a Economics degree holder, goes on to explain this is why many people only eat rice and budu without other side dishes. “It is burdensome for a person with RM1000 salary to share food with 7 other people.”

    The Universiti Sains Malaysia graduate even included what the possible negative outcome of this life quality could bring. 1. More robbery or stealing cases because it is difficult to find proper income. 2. Children grow up in unhealthy conditions due to lack of nutrition as their diet is not according to the food pyramid. 3. Too many (negative) social cases because there isn’t enough time to too many children.

    To further validate her message, she added steps to solving this problem. 1. Government should implement a ONE child to ONE family law. 2. Control your lust or consume birth control pills 3. If you want many children then find a better paying job before doing so, so that later it is easier to bring them up. 4. Do two jobs. 5. Wife has to work too. The young graduate also mentioned some typical methods used in family planning such as Intrauterine Contraceptive Device (IUCD), condoms, birth control or contraceptive pills, etc.

    Although there were some who agreed to her post, shockingly, most netizens disagreed with her, even to the point of calling her ideas stupid and backwards. A lot more others started to spread hate towards her. “What a stupid woman. Did she put her brains in her butt or what?” “Talk without using your brains!” One very angry man even condemned her intelligence, while many others criticised her for saying such statements because she is not married. “You memang don’t have brains. Your parents sent you to study so that you’ll be intelligent in both religion and knowledge in this world. But you put your intelligence beneath your feet, bodoh.” Not sure about you but her statement makes a lot of sense to me.

  • Singapore’s Population Growth At Slowest In More Than A Decade

    Singapore’s Population Growth At Slowest In More Than A Decade

    SINGAPORE (Reuters) – Singapore’s population rose 1.2 percent over the past year, the slowest in more than a decade, as it tried to reduce numbers of foreign workers, while long-standing efforts to encourage citizens to have more children bore some fruit.

    The total population stood at 5.54 million as of June 2015, according to data released on Wednesday, including 3.38 million citizens.

    The citizen population continued to age, with 13.1 percent 65 or older, compared with 12.4 percent last year, due to slowing fertility rates and increasing life expectancy.

    Singapore has for years tried to get its well-educated and well-off citizens to have more children, with little success but births in 2014 rose 7 percent, to 33,193, close to the 2012 level, which was the highest in a decade.

    Increasing numbers of foreign workers led to grumbling about high property prices and crowded public transport and in response, the government has been curbing numbers, exacerbating a labour crunch, particularly in manufacturing, services and construction.

    Businesses faced a tight labour market but help was at hand, the government said in its 2015 population report.

    “The government will support businesses to shift towards skills- and capital-intensive ways to grow, so that businesses can continue to grow and succeed here, to create quality jobs for Singaporeans,” the government said.
