    Muhammad Shamil To PM Lee: Help Singaporeans And Singapore Find Peaceful, Lasting Solution To Rohingya Genocide In Myanmar

    Dear PM Lee,

    Peace be upon you.

    I hope you and loved ones are well.

    Sir, with all due respect, forgive me for trying to reach out to you on a seemingly informal channel like FB. I just believe it is one of the most powerful channels today to directly communicate with leaders and other people. And instead of sending a private message, I have made it public to help spread news of the apparent issues in Myanmar and encourage others to speak to their leaders to do something about it. So pardon the medium and heed the message please.

    Prime minister, I am deeply troubled and saddened by what is happening in Myanmar and as a citizen of this country, I humbly ask for our government to help and/or tell me what I can do to assist in this humanitarian crisis at our very doorstep. As published in Channelnewsasia, a UN official claims that the government of Myanmar is “pursuing ethic cleansing of Rohingya” (http://www.channelnewsasia.com/…/myanmar-pursu…/3317908.html). The article speaks of genocide, civilians being killed, raped and tortured in a neighboring country. I shudder to think of the horrors Rohingya men, women and children are going through this very moment, should these reports be true and pray for their safety and comfort.

    Sir, I am no expert in the matter but I would like to help, and am sure many others would like to help too but simply don’t know how. It’s not like they are suffering from just severe poverty or famine, in those types of situations, at the very least, people could donate money but here the situation is worst, they are systematically being wiped out. I am humbly turning to you, the leader of our very powerful government, as an ordinary Singaporean, to help find a peaceful solution to the problem. Pressure and work with Myanmar leaders to ensure that the crisis is handled in a more humane manner.

    This is not the first time in recent history that the powers that be in Myanmar have resorted to violence against civilians. But I hope these acts of seemingly state sanction terrorism stop. And I hope Singapore plays a big part in bringing about and maintaining peace in the region.

    We live in a most peaceful multiethnic, multi-religious country, yes there are flaws, but it is something in Singapore I am so very proud of and grateful for. It’s a thing of beauty. So how can we sit idly by while others in Asean are literally being killed simply because of their religion, claimed ancestry or colour of their skin? We have to be a force for good in the region, we are Singapore. Siapa tidak kenal Singapura, negara terindah berbilang bangsa?

    Our silence will not save them. Let’s do something to help now.

    Majulah Singapura.

    Thank you kindly.

    Sincerely,
    Muhammad Shamil Bin Zainuddin

  • Palestine Sends Four Firefighting Teams To Help Israel Fight Wildfires

    Palestine Sends Four Firefighting Teams To Help Israel Fight Wildfires

    Israel has accepted an offer of help from the Palestinian authorities to tackle the wildfires that have engulfed large areas of central and northern parts of the country.

    The crisis has forced tens of thousands of people to flee their homes as flames have swept into the country’s third largest city of Haifa.

    Four Palestinian firefighting teams will join the effort to combat the fires.

    A senior Israeli official told daily newspaper Haaretz that Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories will oversee the cooperation between the Palestinian and the Israeli fire crews.

    Russia, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Croatia and Cyprus are all also helping fight the blaze, while America has agreed to send a Boeing 747 “Supertanker” firefighting plane.

    Israel’s chief of police has blamed the fires on arson attacks, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said such an attack would be treated as terrorism.

    Israeli police said on Friday they had arrested 12 people on suspicion of arson.

    Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said a dozen people had been detained either while attempting to set fires or fleeing the area, but he provided no further details.

    Internal Security Minister Gilad Erdan said they were “minorities”, an allusion to either Arab Israeli citizens or Palestinians.

    “The highest likelihood is that the motive is nationalistic,” Mr Erdan told Army Radio.

    The flames, which have raged since Tuesday, have been fanned by strong winds during an exceptionally dry period.

  • Terengganu – Denda RM3,000 , Penjara Jika Tidak Tunaikan Solat Jumaat

    Terengganu – Denda RM3,000 , Penjara Jika Tidak Tunaikan Solat Jumaat

    Lelaki Muslim yang tidak menunaikan solat Jumaat di Terengganu bakal berdepan hukuman denda maksimum RM3,000 atau penjara dua tahun tidak lama lagi.

    Ia susulan pindaan Enakmen Kesalahan Jenayah (Takzir) Terengganu 2001 yang disokong sebulat suara oleh para Anggota Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) yang menghadiri persidangan dewan hari ini.

    Pindaan Seksyen 16 berkaitan perkara tidak menunaikan solat Jumaat dibentangkan oleh Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Komunikasi, Multimedia dan Tugas-Tugas Khas Negeri Ghazali Taib.

    Selain pindaan Seksyen 16, beberapa pindaan lain turut dibuat iaitu Seksyen 19 (tidak menghormati Ramadan) dan Seksyen 53 (mengganggu perempuan di tempat awam).

    Ghazali mengemukakan cadangan pindaan itu kerana berpendapat enakmen itu mengangungi peruntukan yang sukar dilaksanakan dan dikuatkuasakan selain hukuman denda agak rendah dan tidak dapat memberi pengajaran serta kesedaran kepada masyarakat.

    Bagi solat Jumaat, sebelum ini enakmen itu menetapkan mana-mana lelaki yang mukallaf yang tidak menunaikan solat Jumaat di masjid tiga kali berturut-turut tanpa uzur syarie atas sebab yang munasabah boleh didenda maksimum RM1,000 atau penjara maksimum enam bulan atau kedua-duanya.

    Bagi kesalahan tidak menghormati Ramadan termasuk menjual makanan dan minuman kepada orang Islam serta makan secara terbuka, hukuman pindaan itu membabitkan denda tidak melebihi RM2,000 atau penjara dua tahun atau kedua-duanya.

    Sebelum ini, enakmen itu menetapkan jumlah denda sama dan penjara enam bulan sahaja.

    Bagi perbuatan tidak sopan di tempat awam, pindaan itu melibatkan hukuman denda RM1,000 atau penjara dua tahun, berbanding hukuman sebelum ini membabitkan denda RM1,000 atau penjara enam bulan atau kedua-duanya.

    Seksyen bagi pesalah yang mengganggu perempuan di tempat awam juga melibatkan penambahan hukuman penjara iaitu daripada enam bulan kepada maksimum dua tahun.

    Ketika membentangkan pindaan itu, Ghazali berkata ia dibuat bagi memudahkan kerja pegawai penguat kuasa, pendakwa syarie dan Mahkamah Syariah.

    Katanya pindaan hukuman penjara daripada minimum enam bulan hingga maksimum satu tahun kepada minimum dua tahun hingga maksimum tiga tahun adalah untuk memberi kesedaran dan keinsafan kepada masyarakat.

    “Pindaan ini menunjukkan keprihatinan dan sokongan kerajaan negeri terhadap cadangan pindaan Akta 355 bagi memartabatkan Mahkamah Syariah khususnya di negeri Terengganu,” katanya.

    Presiden PAS Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang yang juga Anggota Parlimen Marang hari ini membawa usul Rang Undang-Undang Persendirian iaitu Rang Undang-Undang Mahkamah Syariah (Bidang Kuasa Jenayah)(Pindaan) 2016 di Dewan Rakyat.

    Ia bagi meminda Akta Mahkamah Syariah (Bidang Kuasa Jenayah) 1965 atau dikenali Akta 355.

    Ustaz Kazim Elias: Bayar Ganti Rugi Atau Minta Maaf

    PETALING JAYA: Pendakwah popular Mohammad Kazim Elias atau lebih dikenali sebagai Ustaz Kazim menuntut permohanan maaf daripada seorang ibu yang mendakwa sekolah tahfiznya di Ipoh terlibat dalam penderaan seksual pelajar, atau membayar RM8 juta (S$2.6 juta) sebagai ganti rugi.

    Menurut laporan mStar Online surat tuntutan yang bertarikh 18 November menyatakan Ustaz Kazim berkata catatan di Facebook yang ditulis wanita berkenaan bahawa berlakunya ‘kes penderaan kanak-kanak di sekolah Maahad Tahfiz di bahagian utara’ yang diketuai seorang ‘ustaz terkenal’, memberi bayangan bahawa ia adalah dirinya dan sekolah agamanya.

    Peguam Ustaz Kazim menegaskan dakwaan-dakwaan itu menunjukkan bahawa anak guamnya menubuhkan ‘sebuah pusat penderaan seksual’.

    Tambahnya, catatan itu juga membayangkan bahawa Ustaz Kazim adalah seorang pedofil dan menggunakan madrasah sebagai alat untuk menarik kanak-kanak dan melakukan salah laku seksual terhadap mereka, tambah laporan mStar Online.

    Perkara itu disahkan peguam Firdaus Mohamood kepada The Star Online hari ini (22 Nov), yang berkata surat tuntutan diserahkan sendiri kepada wanita itu semalam dan wanita berkenaan mempunyai tujuh hari untuk membuat keputusan.

    Ustaz Kazim sebelum ini menafikan dakwaan penderaan seksual melibatkan sekolah tahfiz miliknya, Pusat Pendidikan Al-Barakah dan beberapa aduan polis sudah dibuat.

  • Elected Presidency – PAP ‘Elite’ Treating Us Like Children, Don’t Trust Our Choice

    Elected Presidency – PAP ‘Elite’ Treating Us Like Children, Don’t Trust Our Choice

    Some so called “smart” leaders think we should get Malays as PE since abt 50yrs, Malays is not being elected Singapore’s President. Some others think ‘Nah! We should not choose based on races, we should choose more on their credibilities etc…

    Who are you to decide for us?

    None of you has the right to decide for us.

    For myself, I feel more disappointed for PE not because of Malays or not but more because we don’t get our rights and our own freedom to choose our own future elected President. I will miss that moment to watch the rallies and watching many Singaporeans gather in crowd and concern of their future. As though the government doesn’t trust our choice. So please stop taking us as a child, as though we are so ignorant not to know who and who to choose as a President… Self elected President to me will only show your side of weakness, lack of confidence and competitive! When US past candidates had fought vigorously for about more than a year… Here we in Singapore being one of the most expensive and competitive country in most countries, we are stuck with back dated minded and lack of confidence leaders. It’s a shame and a big turn off! “Democracy” practice indeed!! Go and sell Koyok elsewhere!
