    Male Flasher Spotted In Punggol

    Please help share if you care, for parents with young children, please take note, please be aware, please be vigilant, please take extra precaution.

    For the ladies as well.

    It was brought to my attention that my cousin’s domestic helper was heading of from the house to pick up my 4yrs old niece after school at the school transport drop of point. She has my 2yrs old nephew along waiting for my niece, it happened during bright daylight, a middle age Indian guy followed the helper to the bus-stop in Punggol, and came seated beside the helper exposing his private part and touching it beside the helper. Bright daylight! You heard it right. Hence the helper move away holding my nephew and the guy was seated there doing his gross actions. When my niece’s school bus came, the guy ran off. The poor Panicking and crying helper seek help from the transport lady which she came forward with the driver and saw the guy running away. During that moment, transport auntie called up my sis and told her about the incident, and that was when the transport auntie usher the helper together with my niece and nephew to the block assuring that the guy ran off.

    The helper held my nephew and grab my niece and took the lift home, the scariest thing happened, the Indian man appeared at the lift on level 2, when the lift door opened, he walked into the lift, the panicking helper grab the kids and hide them away from this fellow, he unzipped himself and exposing himself in the lift and asking the helper to touch his private area, poor her was crying and the kids were so scare and started crying as well, the worst has yet to come, he commented to the helper, if she don’t want to touch his private part, get the little girl which is my 4yrs old niece to touch (how sick!!!), being a good helper to the family shield the traumatizing kids away from guy and escaped moment when the lift door opened!

    Police report has been made, and investigation is on going, we would like to urge everyone to be extra careful, there’s camera in the lift but we have yet to receive information from the police then which resulted us to have to head down for update.

    We all know that it’s The big thing going on now GE2015, but I suppose that this type of crime is every more important, we are now talking about the safety of the general public, traumatizing children, traumatizing helper and worry parents & relatives.

    Please help share this post even if you are not staying in Punggol estate, I believe the more people who are aware of this incident, the more voices made, the more efficiency and faster action can be taken. Your every share can help and prevent the future crime and harm to the vulnerable ones especially young children.

    To uphold the law, to protect life & property. ‪#‎singaporepoliceforce‬ ‪#‎spf‬

  • Spoiled Girl Mistakes Malay Lady At Library For Indon Maid

    Spoiled Girl Mistakes Malay Lady At Library For Indon Maid

    Netizen Faizah Zakaria shared a bad experience she had at the library when a spoiled child treated her as if she was a maid just because of her skin colour. This is not the way for a child to behave towards our Malay Singaporean brothers and sisters.. The parents should educate the child not to treat others like slaves. Let’s share her story and condemn discrimination.

    “I was sitting in the children’s section of the library reading a book to my (Chinese-looking) nephew when a little Chinese girl interrupted us. “Excuse me,” she said imperiously. I looked up. “Here,” she said pushing a plastic wrapping into my hands. Then she walked off without another word to join her mother who was texting busily a few steps away.

    I was quite stunned to realize that she expected me to throw away her rubbish for her. Okay, maybe she had not meant to be offensive and thought I look like an Indonesian maid or something. Still, when is it ever acceptable to zero in on the only brown-skinned person in the library (excluding the officers) and expect her to take care of the trash? Even if I were a maid, that doesn’t give some random kid a right to do so, especially when the rubbish bin is a only a few steps away. It is not okay to expect strangers to pick up after you whether they are Chinese, Malay, Indonesian, Filipino, Indian or Martian.

    Have a happy racial harmony day tomorrow, Singapore. We have some way to go.”

  • Photos Of Children Of Malaysian Celebrities Turn Up On Porn Site

    Photos Of Children Of Malaysian Celebrities Turn Up On Porn Site

    Malaysian comedian Harith Iskander was shocked and upset to find photographs of his then-newborn son featured alongside lewd images of naked women on a pornographic website on Wednesday.

    Photos of the children of other popular Malaysian celebrities, including actress-singer Erra Fazira and singer Tomok, also appeared on the site, which is believed to be US-based.

    He told The New Paper on Thursday: “I was shocked, angry and confused as to why the hell anyone would put my son’s photos on such a site. As a father, my first priority is to protect my children and that is why I got into action immediately and tried to find out as much information as I could.”

    Harith’s wife, Dr Jezamine Lim, 31, said that she was rendered speechless and felt “so disgusted I vomited after that”.

    He posted on Facebook on Thursday evening that the photos have since been removed by the site.

  • P1 Registration: Child Must Live At Declared Address For At Least 30 Months From Jul 2015

    P1 Registration: Child Must Live At Declared Address For At Least 30 Months From Jul 2015

    A new rule requiring children to live for at least 21/2 years at the addresses they used to apply for primary school has been introduced, with parents largely supportive of the change.

    Beginning this year, those who gain priority admission to schools based on distance need to live at the address for at least 30 months from the start of the Primary 1 registration exercise.

    Those with a yet-to-be-completed property also have to live at the new address for as long, but this can start only from when they move in and not from the registration, subject to certain limits.

    The Ministry of Education (MOE) did not set any specific time period previously. If this condition is not met, MOE may transfer the child to another school.

    When asked, MOE said the distance priority has always been given with the expectation that the family will live at the address declared for Primary 1 registration.

    While the MOE’s intent is that this should be for as long as the child is in primary school, it “recognised the practical challenges of imposing an explicit ‘minimum stay’ that would meet the policy intent while not making it overly onerous and rigid”.

    The news, reported by Chinese daily Lianhe Zaobao yesterday, has sparked a lot of discussion. Parents felt the rule would deter people from renting homes and moving away shortly after their children get spots in schools, and said it will not affect them as they do not plan to move soon.

    But some who rented properties near schools may be stuck if their leases do not last 30 months.

    For Primary 1 registration, schools conduct a ballot when the number of applicants exceeds available places. Those who live nearer the school – usually within 1km – get priority in the ballot.

    A handful of parents have taken advantage of this to get their children into popular schools. A father who lied about where he lived to get his daughter into a top school in 2013 was given two weeks’ jail this year.

    Property agents said the rule is unlikely to affect rental or home prices. One agent, Mr Jack Tam, said those who rent places near popular schools are rare.

    Horizon Real Estates’ key executive officer Lena Low agreed, but said those who rent homes may need to get longer-term leases.

    Some who just want the address get cheaper studio apartments without living there, she said. If they have to move in now, they need a bigger place, she said.

    Housewife Shellin Tan, 38, who has a six-year-old son, said the rule is fair but “those who want brand-name schools will still find properties with longer leases or buy homes near them”.

    Mr Lim Biow Chuan, chair of the Government Parliamentary Committee for Education, said the rule ensures families live near their kids’ schools. But the period may be too long as some may genuinely need to move, he added.

  • Rafeah Abdul Kadir: No Choice But To Be Superwoman For My Children

    Rafeah Abdul Kadir: No Choice But To Be Superwoman For My Children

    In a small three-room f lat, she lives with nine of her children – three sons and six daughters aged between three and 17.

    The 35-year-old also has two other daughters, but gave one to each of her sisters when they were just toddlers because she was not able to take care of them.

    Madam Rafeah Abdul Kadir’s youngest daughter, three, suffers from a number of ailments including a lung condition, epilepsy and cerebral palsy.

    And just last year, her husband, the sole breadwinner of the family who brought home $800 monthly, left her for another woman. They were married for 17 years.

    Yet, Madam Rafeah said quietly but firmly: “Don’t pity me. I have made it this far and I will continue to survive.”

    But she wasn’t always this strong.

    In fact, when she caught her husband red-handed cheating on her with his colleague last November, she was devastated.

    “I even begged him to come back. I couldn’t imagine life without him,” she told The New Paper.

    “But he didn’t. He did not even visit us to see the kids,” she added, softly.

    “I was upset for the first few months, but I had my kids to think of and I couldn’t let them down,” said Madam Rafeah as she played with her youngest daughter, Nurqistina.

    It is clear that she has since got past the heartbreak and betrayal.

    She spoke about her husband, who worked as a cleaner, matter-of-factly.

    Today marks her first Hari Raya as a single mother.

    The family plans to visit her parents and her inlaws.

    She will cook rendang (a traditional Malay beef dish) after the visits and they will have dinner as a family at home.

    She is adamant that her husband’s absence will not hamper the festivities.

    Breaking out into a shy smile, she recalled how they have survived this year.

    Her typical day would begin at about 7am with Madam Rafeah cleaning the house.

    She then gets her children ready for school. Then, she does the marketing and cooks for the family.

    Madam Rafeah proceeds to do the laundry after that.

    Not being able to afford tuition, she helps the younger children with their homework.

    She laughed as she said: “I’m simply a teacher and these are my childcare students.”

    And she does all this with young Nurqistina at her hips.

    She said: “I have no choice but to act like a super woman. It’s what any mother would do for her children.”

    With a grin, she added: “Sometimes, even I don’t know how I can do all this.”

    Challenges

    Of course, there have been challenges, says Madam Rafeah, who cannot work as she has to care for her daughter full-time.

    “Sometimes it is a struggle for me because she goes in and out of the hospital and I have to rely on my older children to take care of household matters,” she said with a sigh.

    Nurqistina’s bills are subsidised fully by KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital.

    Madam Rafeah added: “January was a tough time for me because I was still coping with my husband’s leaving and I also had to get my kids ready for school.

    “I didn’t have enough money to buy school supplies like books and bags.”

    She had to cut back on some expenses to afford these supplies.

    Madam Rafeah receives $800 from the North East Community Development Centre, $980 from the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis) and another $300 from the Lee Foundation.

    Her eldest son, 17, who is studying at the Institute of Technical Education, sometimes helps out by taking on part-time jobs.

    Despite having nine mouths to feed, she insists that the money she receives is sufficient and is grateful for the support.

    “I’m so glad to be receiving all this help,” she said. Her plight is known to some in the Malay community.

    Last Sunday, Fatimah Mohsin Wedding Gallery treated Madam Rafeah and her family to a makeover and a photo shoot.

    “Everyone was so happy – and so I felt happy as well,” she said.

    This year, her family’s clothes were provided by First Lady & Second Chance.

    During the interview at her house in Hougang yesterday, a father and daughter pair came to Madam Rafeah’s flat to hand over some groceries and cash.

    Mr Zul Abdul Karim, 40, a taxi driver, said: “My wife read about her story on Facebook and we decided to come here to give alms.”

    So far, four families have donated basic necessities and cash in the past week to Madam Rafeah, who said she does not rely on these donations nor does she expect them.

    “While I’m grateful, I can also survive on my own,” she said.

    But one kind of support she hangs on to is moral support.

    Her parents and her in-laws, who live on the second storey, constantly check in on her to see if she is okay.

    But it is nine of her close childhood friends that she relies on most.

    “Every time I feel myself getting overwhelmed and start to break down, I just let my friends know through our group chat on Whatsapp,” she said, with a smile.

    They call themselves “My fair ladies” and they are ready to provide words of strength whenever she is struggling.

    “That is all I need to go on,” she said.

    She added: “Of course, this year, Hari Raya is different because I have to take care of everything from cleaning the house to going to the market.

    “But at least, I’m happy. And so are my children.

    “It will still be a good Hari Raya.”
