Warga Singapura, Dr Husaini Abdul Hafiz, Meninggal Dunia Sedang Dalam Perjalanan Ke Kerja Di New Zealand

Seorang lelaki warga Singapura rebah dan meninggal dunia ketika berjalan kaki ke tempat kerja di Hagley Park di Christchurch, New Zealand pagi tadi (13 Feb).

BERITAMediacorp diberitahu, Dr Husaini Abdul Hafiz, 50 tahun, merupakan seorang doktor di Lembaga Kesihatan Daerah Canterbury dan sudah bekerja dan menetap di New Zealand bersama keluarganya sejak lapan hingga sembilan tahun lepas.

ANTARA KARYAWAN PERUBATAN YANG BENTUK MHPA

Allahyarham di kalangan sekumpulan karyawan perubatan yang membentuk Persatuan Karyawan Jagaan Kesihatan Islam (MHPA) dan juga aktif bergiat di badan bukan pemerintah Mercy Relief sebelum menetap di New Zealand.

Allahyarham Dr Husaini sebelum ini pernah mempunyai klinik GP di Blok 516 Choa Chu Kang, iaitu Hafiz Clinic & Surgery.

Menurut laman stuff.co.nz, polis dimaklumkan tentang kejadian yang berlaku berhampiran Hospital Christchurch itu pada sekitar 8.15 pagi tadi (waktu tempatan).

Sebahagian laluan pejalan kaki di kawasan tersebut sudah dikepung, menurut laporan itu.

Abang Allahyarham Encik Husaini, Encik Alwi Abdul Hafiz, berkata beliau dan keluarganya belum pasti tentang punca kematiannya.

AKTIF DI MEDIA SOSIAL BEBERAPA JAM SEBELUM KEJADIAN

Namun Encik Alwi, penasihat di Golden Veroleum Liberia, 54 tahun, berkata Allahyarham masih aktif di media sosial hanya beberapa jam sebelum kejadian itu berlaku.

“Setakat ini kami hanya tahu beliau ketika itu dalam perjalanan ke tempat kerja. Beliau memang selalu berjalan kaki ke tempat kerja,” kata Encik Alwi, yang juga anggota Suara Musyawarah.

“Kami kerap berhubungan di media sosial, dan beliau masih aktif di media sosial hanya beberapa jam sebelum kejadian itu berlaku, jadi ini satu kejutan untuk kami semua,” tambahnya lagi ketika dihubungi BERITAMediacorp.

Encik Alwi berkata adiknya tidak diketahui menghidapi sebarang penyakit sebelum ini.

Kali terakhir mereka bertemu adalah apabila Allahyarham berkunjung ke Singapura lewat tahun lalu.

Menurut Encik Alwi, Allahyarham meninggalkan seorang isteri dan lima anak – dua anak lelaki dan tiga anak perempuan – berusia 7 tahun hingga 20an tahun.

Encik Alwi memberitahu BERITAMediacorp, Allahyarham akan dikebumikan di New Zealand. Beliau dan keluarganya akan ke New Zealand nanti untuk upacara pengebumian Allahyarham.

Encik Alwi berkata anak lelaki kedua Allahyarham, yang sedang menjalani Perkhidmatan Negara (NS) di Singapura, akan turut ke sana untuk menatap wajah ayahnya buat kali terakhir.

Sementara itu, Detektif Sarjan Kanan Mark Worner ditukil laman stuff.co.nz sebagai berkata, lelaki yang ditemui meninggal dunia di Hagley Park dipercayai rebah ketika dalam perjalanan ke tempat kerja.

Seorang jurucakap polis menambah kematian itu tidak mencurigakan dan kes itu sudah dirujuk kepada pihak koroner.

Abdul Salim Harun: If Halimah Yacob Becomes President, By-Election Should Be Called For Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC

As a resident and voter of Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC and residing under the Marsiling Constituency helm by Mdm Halimah Yacob, I hope that she can be forthcoming and inform her residents of her intention on the upcoming Presidential Election.

If she intents to run for the Presidency, a By-Election should be called considering that a GRC should consist of a minority MP. Currently, all her other colleagues in the GRC are all Chinese.

Aside from that, it is only right that residents and voters of Marsiling Constituency should have their own MP and representative in Parliament, an MP they can called their own, and not MPs loan from other wards.

The next General Election will only be held 3 years down the road and it is not right for Marsiling Constituency to be left without their own MP.

Furthermore, the Government had already stated that the GRC scheme was implemented to enshrined minority representation in Parliament and at least one of the MPs in the GRC must be from the minority race.

As can be seen from the current Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC, Mdm Halimah is the only minority MP in the GRC while the other 3 are of the Chinese race. If she intents to run for the Presidency, the GRC will be left without a minority MP.

So, Chan Chun Sing is totally wrong when he says that there’s not a need for any By-Election in regards of his “Mdm President” if she were to leave the GRC.

I hope Mdm Speaker will not leave her residents hanging and a By-Election should be called if she really leaves the GRC to contest the Presidential Election.

New Award For Students Pays Tribute To Malay War Hero, Lt Adnan Saidi

A war hero’s name now graces a new award for tertiary students who embody his fighting spirit, 75 years after he died valiantly in battle defending Singapore.

The SMEF-Lieutenant Adnan Award from the Singapore Muslim Education Fund (SMEF) will go to students who have excelled in their studies in the face of adversity, or proven their leadership mettle in a uniformed group.

It pays tribute to Lt Adnan Saidi who died fighting the Japanese in the Battle of Pasir Panjang during World War II. His platoon in the Malay Regiment was vastly outnumbered, but Lt Adnan rallied his men in a battle to the bitter end.

SMEF chairman Ameen Talib told The Sunday Times yesterday: “Lt Adnan is a symbol of bravery, leadership, resilience and determination, which we thought were perfect virtues for our younger generation to aspire towards.”

He noted that the introduction of the award was timely, coming on the 75th anniversary of the fall of Singapore.

The $700 award was given out for the first time yesterday, in a ceremony at Mamanda Restaurant in Kampong Glam.

Among the three recipients was 19-year-old Nurhaliza Ramli who, despite her troubled family background, has excelled in her media management course at Nanyang Polytechnic.

She has never met her mother, and her father, who was released from jail two years back and is partially blind, lives in a halfway house.

After her grandmother died in 2007, Ms Nurhaliza spent years shuttling between her relatives’ homes. She now lives with her taxi-driver uncle and his family.

After she graduates, she plans to find a job to help her save up for part-time university courses.

“I want to support myself and lighten the burden on my uncle, who has to think of his three children too,” she said. “Sometimes I do feel down, but I always tell myself to focus on the future. That’s something I can control.”

At the ceremony, Minister of State for Communications and Information and Education Janil Puthucheary gave out $41,000 worth of awards to a bumper crop of 12 students.

This is the SMEF’s largest disbursement since it was set up in 2013. Its initial focus was on supporting Malay/Muslim students pursue law and medicine overseas.

Yesterday, six medical students received the $5,000 SMEF Medicine Award, while three law students were given the $3,000 SMEF-Professor Ahmad Ibrahim Award, which is named after Singapore’s first attorney-general.

Said Dr Ameen: “There were very few Malay/Muslim professionals in these fields, and so we wanted to encourage and support students doing law and medicine.”

“Now, we want to look at other segments. We want to encourage those who have done their best against all odds, in any field.”

Jufrie Mahmood: Yaacob Ibrahim Must Stop Thinking The Malay Community Are Fools

Dr Yaacob appeals to Malays to allow themselves to be made pawns in the PAP’s on going grand design to ward off any serious challenge to its absolute hold on all levers of power – at the expense of the community’s self worth and dignity.

He then wayang by saying, “the Malay community is concerned not just about the president, but also Malay permanent secretary, Malay general ,,,, because we want to see representation across the entire Singaporean life”.

Then he contradicts himself saying “but we believe it must come about because of meritocracy ……”.

Good try Dr Yaacob. You think we are fools?

Ummi Abdullah: Suspension Of My Ambeng Cafe May Be Sabotage Job

Salam Semua,

This will be a long post, I been thinking about it and after much contemplating, I feel the need to talk about this because there is something we can learn here.

I guess its no longer a secret after the media decide to publish the news of Ambeng Cafe being suspended because of cockroaches.

Few months back I receive a PM from a man name Raimi Hairil. He told me that his family is down with food poisoning and asked me for a refund and pay the medical bill, since he went to company doc there is no payment from him thus no reciept so I dont know how much must pay him.

As usual Im worried so I still decide to refund and pay his medical bill. So as a procedure I ask for his medical bill even though I dont know how much is it. He sent a few to me. After looking at the bill, I realise the medicine that was given to his daughter is for cough, phelgm and not one medicine for diarhea. As an adult u can cheat doc, but a child cannot.

As I have children, I use to see this medicine.

So I ask for his explanation, and he is unhappy. He say he is going to the authority with this. Me on the other hand think that, I have nothing to be afraid. I am very very clean with my work. And since you are reporting, i cannot do anything about it.

I decide to not pay him, its not much, but its not right. Its against my integrity as a person. Im not going to pay him so that he keep quiet. I won’t do that. Thats not me. I did nothing wrong why must I be afraid.

And so I left him there, without paying him.

After a week, NEA officer come and they say they recieve a feedback. The Officer name Farhanah, go to my kitchen and do her rounds, and she did not find anything in the kitchen.

She proceed to the bar, and pull my ice machine. There she found cockroached. Beside this ice machine, we put carton of can drinks. For this I was given 6 points.

Then she proceed to check my staff, one of them is only 2 weeks old and as he is a malaysian we have to wait for the malay class. Nevertheless, he was caught doing packing. For that I was given 6 points.

With 12 points I was suspended.

So today, the internet is splash with the news of Ambeng Cafe being suspended. And guess what, Mr Raimi Hairil, sent me a pm with a thumbs up. I actually already forgot about him.

How bad can someone be? Do you need to do send me a thumbs up? What benefit you get. This is the business life in Singapore, if people complain about anything officer come and check, and as a big operation they can definately find something. To accept someone complain for food poisoning, you must take stool test and all. So leceh, check first. Wallah they found something.

For 7 years I cook, no food poisoning case. And the coacroach issue it took me 2 hours to clear. And for my staff he already went for the course. Don’t I deserve a warning?

Anyway I ask for the pic of the so call infestation, they do not want to give me. Like I say, if they want to find something they can.

Anyway, this is something i will always face, customers who want to take advantage, officer coming to check, its part of this business that I have chosen, right now I just focus on getting better. With this incident, it just taught me more and my staff and I just get more closer as everyone finally realise how bad things can be id we lapse or not focus.

To Raimi Hairi, I am very proud of my self for not giving in to you. I stand still. I know I can silent you with money. I know I will get into trouble but I have integrity. This case today its not about you, its about coackroach, but you sending me a thumbs up and being sarcastic just show what kind of person you are. You take pleasure in someone misery.

You may not involve in this or are you?, but that thumbs up is not necessary.

Last but not least, people should know that, I am a woman of prinsip. You can kill me if you want but for me to stoop low just to survive .. I won’t…. I rather die.

Thank you to all my supporter family and friends, your kind words make Ummi strong again. May Allah swt bless the good people around me. You all are just too kind to me.

Ummi Abdullah
