    AMK GRC Resident: Is This PAP Flyer Of Intan Azura Mokhtar On My Car Even Legal?

    An Ang Mo Kio GRC resident found a political flyer promoting PAP candidate Intan on his car’s windshield this morning at the carpark next to 542b serangoon north Ave 3.

    The resident called his area’s Residents’ Committee (RC) up to question if this is legal but the RC members denied responsibility and claimed they are under the People’s Association (PA) and not under the PAP. The RC members then referred him to contact the PAP but added that the PAP candidate Intan will not have time to talk to him.

    PAP candidate for AMK GRC Intan has also ignored his messages over Facebook.

  • Intan Azura Mokhtar Saran Agar Yuran Peperiksaan Di Madrasah Juga Dimansuhkan

    Intan Azura Mokhtar Saran Agar Yuran Peperiksaan Di Madrasah Juga Dimansuhkan

    Langkah untuk menghapuskan yuran peperiksaan-peperiksaan nasional untuk para pelajar rakyat tempatan disentuh dalam perbahasan Belanjawan di Parlimen, hari ini.

    Anggota Parlimen GRC Ang Mo Kio, Dr Intan Azura Mokhtar menyarankan agar langkah itu diluaskan meliputi juga para pelajar madrasah.

    Dengan cara itu katanya, ini dapat memastikan tiada warga tempatan yang akan ketinggalan dalam mendapatkan pendidikan.

    Dr Intan menyarankan agar pemerintah memberikan pelepasan yuran peperiksaan sepenuhnya, bukan sahaja untuk semua pelajar warga Singapura yang menuntut sepenuh masa di sekolah-sekolah aliran utama, tetapi juga sekolah swasta.

    “Contoh tertentu adalah bagi para pelajar kita di madrasah sepenuh masa. Ini adalah antara keprihatinan para Anggota Parlimen Melayu Parti Tindakan Rakyat dan juga masyarakat Melayu/Islam kita.

    “Usulan ini sama seperti peruntukan dana Edusave untuk semua pelajar warga Singapura. Saya percaya tiada di antara para pelajar warga Singapura kita harus ketinggalan dalam mengejar impian mereka melalui peluang pendidikan,” ujar beliau.

    AP GRC Bishan-Toa Payoh Zainudin Nordin turut menyokong usulan Dr Intan itu. “Ini adalah dasar masyarakat yang inklusif yang digalakkan oleh pemerintah. Saya amat berharap agar idea ini akan diterima pemerintah,” ujarnya.

    AP pembangkang Muhd Faisal Abdul Manap pula menyarankan agar ia dilanjutkan juga kepada semua pelajar sambilan di politeknik dan Institut Pendidikan Teknikal (ITE).

  • Malay Race Being Discriminated When Apply for SG Citizenship

    Malay Race Being Discriminated When Apply for SG Citizenship

    newcitizennric

    han hui hui new citizen

    As promised this is the real-life story which I feel all true blue Singaporeans should know. Compare it with the ease with which PR and citizenship are dished out to foreigners, especially from the PRC, the PAP’s favourite hunting ground for immigrants to make Singapore more Chinese than it already is. And naturally Yang Yin’s case comes to mind.

    This insulting tale which I’m about to tell I believe is not an isolated one. Many others may have been suffering – and still suffering – in silence.

    Yaacob (not his real name) is the youngest in a family of 6 children – 5 boys and a girl. He is in his thirties and was born, bred and schooled in Singapore. He works and contributes to the economy as a forklift operator.His elderly parents and all his elder siblings are full citizens with pink ICs. Through some unexplained circumstances Yaacob is the only one holding a blue IC.

    The fault could have been caused by an inadvertent mistake of his father, a simple folk, or that of the officer at the NRO.

    Having faced all the inconveniences of a blue IC holder and missing out on all the rights and privileges of a citizen through no fault of his, Yaacob finally decided seek help. He did not say whether he had gone to see any MP because he might have thought that as a blue IC holder he would not be entertained. Incidentally he lives in Ang Mo Kio and the principal MP there is none other than the PM himself.

    He went straight to the Immigration/National Registration Office at Kallang, armed with copies of his parents’ and siblings’ birth certificates and ICs.
    After a lengthy wait he was interviewed by an officer. But instead of assisting him the officer, a Chinese, threw insults at him by telling him:

    1. Though he might be born in Singapore it does not necessarily mean that he can become a citizen.
    2. The issuing of pink ICs to his parents and siblings was a mistake, and this killer statement …..
    3. His parents could have got married after he was born!

    He was then asked to bring his school records and told to leave and wait for a letter from the authorities. He is still waiting.

    Yang Yin forged a degree, joined the RC, allegedly cheated and stole from an elderly Singaporean, lied about his association with local organisations, took photographs with the MP and the PM and rumoured to have donated large sums of money to the PAP grassroots, etc and he got his PR. No question need to be asked nor a background check necessary.

    Yaacob on the other hand is only making his contributions as a forklift operator but born, bred and schooled in Singapore. What is he getting? INSULTS! CAN YOU TAKE THIS?

    To the PAP skin colour and money talk! Others don’t matter.

  • Aftermath of Closed-Door Dialogue: Muslim Leaders on Hijab Issue

    “I sincerely apologise on behalf of some of the Malay community who might get carried away by their emotions in expressing their thoughts. They might not understand how difficult it is to solve the issue. I regret that their usage of language is inappropriate,” said Singapore’s Mufti Dr Mohamed Fatris Bakaram.

    “PM Lee shared examples when some participants picture us as ‘sparring partners’, but PM Lee in all honesty said we are not a sparring partner but a dancing partner,” said Haji Mohamad Hasbi Hassan, President of Pergas.

    “This is a larger issue that concerns the type of society that you want to become. While we can pretend that we can remove any vestiges of race, language and religion, it is still below the surface,” said Dr Yaacob Ibrahim.

    “I think that is something that we cannot ignore. And I think people recognise that because when you look at it from a single perspective, you think it’s about your rights, but when you look at it in a wider context, where other people have other rights also, it becomes a battle of who is right and who is wrong.” said Dr Yaacob Ibrahim.

    Madam Moliah Hashim, former CEO of Mendaki, said: “My hope is we exemplify what it is to be a good Muslim woman. Not only in the way we… dress but in the way we… work, the way we uphold our integrity, in the way we are competent in whatever assignment we are given. That is to me is much more important than wearing the hijab or not.

    Dr Intan Azura Mokhtar, MP for Ang Mo Kio GRC, said: “I think we need to continue this dialogue so that we understand one another better, not just from the community, to the government, through the MP, but also from the perspective of the government, the challenges that it faces and how the community and the society can understand those challenges better.”
