  • Malaysians Rejoice Sepang’s Exit From F1, Singapore Continues To Be Ripped Off

    Malaysians Rejoice Sepang’s Exit From F1, Singapore Continues To Be Ripped Off

    *Go away. We do not need old white men like Ecclestone to rip us off anymore*

    At first, I was perhaps 70% supportive of Malaysia dropping Formula One but after hearing what the moronic 86 years old former owner of F1 Bernie Ecclestone said, I am now 150% supportive.

    After Najib saw we were losing huge amount of money hosting F1 every year for 17 years, Malaysia decided to drop it from next year on.

    Ecclestone then shockingly admitted that F1 had been deliberately over-charging the venues including Malaysia for the rights to host F1 – hence causing them to make losses.

    In reply, our Sepang circuit boss Razlan Razali said that Ecclestone lacked respect and made promoters “look like idiots” when Ecclestone said they were deliberately overcharging.

    Ecclestone then replied that no one will miss Malaysia’s F1 as they still have Singapore. He then said:

    “Nobody made him look stupid, and it’s difficult to make people look stupid. If they are, they are,” and that it is not their fault that the Sepang race cannot make money.

    Well… Fook you, Eccelstone.

    We do not need to be deliberately ripped-off by old white men like you and treated with disrespect.

    We already have our old ex-PM to rip us off and insult us. We don’t need you, Ecclestone.

    No wonder so many famous tracks of the past such as Zolder and Zandvoort, Nürburgring and Brands Hatch had stopped hosting F1.

    South Korea even stopped their F1 in 2013 just three years after starting citing high costs.

    Even the famous Marseilles Grand Prix was axed for 10 years and will only resume next year.

    Therefore, I am now 150% supportive of not getting screwed by white-men, lose a lot of money each year (Forbes estimated the cost to be USD1 billion or RM4.34 billion over 10 years) and to add insult to injury, get insulted further.

    Our Prime Minister had made the right decision to drop F1.

    Don’t worry. You still have Singapore, right?

    LSS.

  • Mengapa Seorang Mahasiswa Berusia 24 Tahun Jadi Security Guard?

    Mengapa Seorang Mahasiswa Berusia 24 Tahun Jadi Security Guard?

    Habil Shah, 24 tahun, sedang memburu ijazah di sebuah universiti swasta, dalam pengurusan sekitaran dan kesihatan pekerjaan serta keselamatan.

    Sejak April tahun lalu, beliau menyertai agensi keselamatan Certis CISCO sebagai pengawal keselamatan sambilan.

    Dari semasa ke semasa, Habil dikerahkan bertugas di acara-acara khas seperti konsert, pertunjukan dan beberapa tugasan keselamatan.

    “Saya suka kerja ini sebab kerja ini fleksibel dan saya dapat lihat ramai artis dalam konsert-konsert. Dan saya boleh dapat berjumpa kawan-kawan yang bekerja bersama saya dan saya menjadi seorang yang penyabar,” ujar beliau.

    Masa kerja fleksibel sebagai pegawai keselamatan sambilan memudahkan Habil mengurus masa, mengimbangi antara sekolah dengan pekerjaan.

    MANFAAT DAPATKAN PELAJAR SEBAGAI PENGAWAL KESELAMATAN

    Certis CISCO menggajikan sekitar 500 pelajar pos-menengah seperti Habil, sebagai pengawal keselamatan sambilan.

    Mereka perlu menjalani latihan “mengawal orang ramai dan lalulintas” selama satu hingga dua minggu, sebelum boleh dikerah untuk menjalankan “tugasan mudah” yang tidak memerlukan penggunaan senjata api.

    Menurut Naib Presiden Certis CISCO Jason Tan, syarikat itu kekurangan tenaga kerja dan satu pilihan ialah untuk memanfaatkan golongan pelajar.

    Dari aspek keselamatan negara, setiap pelajar yang dilatih kata beliau bermakna seorang lagi yang dapat mengenal pasti ancaman pengganas.

    Firma kawalan keselamatan Aetos pula menggajikan sekitar 100 pelajar pos-menengah sebagai pengawal keselamatan dan pegawai polis bantuan sambilan.

    Para pegawai polis bantuan sambilan yang membawa senjata api perlu menjalani latihan sehingga 11 minggu.

    Syarikat Aetos berharap para pekerja sambilannya ini akan menjadi pekerja tetap, setelah tamat pengajian.

  • Pasar Online 7.Mall Hantar Barangan Basah Dari Pasar Geylang Serai

    Pasar Online 7.Mall Hantar Barangan Basah Dari Pasar Geylang Serai

    Ingin membeli daging atau ayam dari Pasar Geylang Serai tetapi tiada masa untuk berbuat demikian? Kini anda boleh berbuat demikian menerusi sebuah pasar online baru.

    Sebuah wadah online baru bernama 7Mall.Shop itu akan dilancarkan Sabtu ini (15 April).

    Ia sebenarnya adalah wadah pesanan dalam talian, yang diasaskan tiga anak Melayu tempatan, iaitu Encik Kamal Kassim 46 tahun, Encik Damar Osman 42 tahun dan Encik Irmanizam Mohd, 35 tahun.

    Secara keseluruhan, 7Mall menyediakan khidmat penghantaran ke rumah bagi barangan pasar dan asas keperluan rumah yang tersenarai di lelamannya.

    Buat masa ini ia menyenaraikan sekitar 350 barangan keperluan rumah. Ini termasuklah daging, ayam dan makanan beku yang datang dari dua kedai di pasar Geylang Serai serta dari kedai runcit ataupun diimport langsung oleh 7Mall.

    KEMUDAHAN BAGI PEMBELI MELAYU/ISLAM

    “Kami mengambil kira keperluan halal masyarakat Melayu Islam setempat. Dan jika anda mencari keperluan lain seperti ubat suplemen yang lazimnya terdapat di Pasar Geylang ataupun Johor, kami turut memenuhi keperluan itu juga,” kongsi Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif 7Mall, Encik Damar Osman, melalui suatu kenyataan media.

    Ini terutamanya bagi menyenangkan golongan tua ataupun yang tidak berkenderaan tetapi masih ingin membeli barangan tertentu yang terdapat di Pasar Geylang Serai.

    Golongan warga emas juga diberi bantuan tambahan dalam bentuk penghantaran rumah secara percuma, dan dibolehkan membuat pesanan melalui telefon.

    MENOLONG PENIAGA KECIL DAN SURI RUMAH

    Pihak 7Mall akur sudah ada khidmat penghantaran ke rumah oleh pasar raya tempatan dan beberapa syarikat pemula.

    Namun, ini tidak dijadikan hambatan. Sebaliknya ia dijadikan pendorong buat pengasas 7Mall untuk menyediakan wadah teknologi bagi peniaga kecil-kecilan meningkatkan daya saing mereka.

    “Kami dapat lihat sekarang dari segi ekonomi yang makin pesat dalam alam siber, kebanyakan peruncit-peruncit di sini terkesan dengan adanya e-niaga di alam siber. Jadi tujuan kami juga adalah untuk membawa mereka ke alam siber supaya mereka dapat meningkatkan lagi penjualan mereka,” kongsi Encik Kamal Kassim, yang memegang peranan sebagai Ketua Pegawai Teknologi 7Mall.

    Selain membantu para pegerai, 7Mall juga menggunakan strategi menggajikan pekerja sambilan daripada golongan suri rumah.

    Menurut ketua pegawai operasi, Encik Irman Mohd, tanggungjawab berat di rumah kadang kala menghambat sesetengah suri rumah daripada bekerja untuk mencari pendapatan tambahan.

    Atas dasar ini, suri rumah yang bekerja di 7Mall hanya perlu bertugas sekitar tiga jam setiap masa, membolehkan mereka imbangi kerja dan tanggungjawab di rumah.

    Memandang ke hadapan, selain menambah bilangan produk dalam senarainya, 7Mall mengalu-alukan penyertaan pekedai lain yang ingin memanfaatkan wadah yang mereka sediakan.

    7Mall juga berharap mengembangkan lelaman mereka (www.7mall.shop) untuk menempatkan khidmat lain yang relevan bagi masyarakat Melayu Islam setempat.

  • Netizen Who Asked Where To Stay In Singapore With Little Or No Muslims Told to Stay In Christian Cemetary

    Netizen Who Asked Where To Stay In Singapore With Little Or No Muslims Told to Stay In Christian Cemetary

    Unless you are a foreigner, or have been living under rock, almost everyone will notice that Singapore is a multiracial and multireligious society.

    This did not stop an anonymous netizen from asking a potentially seditious question on Quora.

    He wrote: “What are the best areas to live in Singapore with as little Muslims as possible?”

    The result was a flurry of witty responses that only Singaporeans can give.

    One netizen wrote: “Try Orchard road. A little expensive than your normal neighbourhoods but really, there are Muslims in every area possible and they avoid Orchard road for more than the economic reasons. If Orchard road area is too steep for you, you can consider migrating. Or try to live in harmony like a Singaporean will.”

    Another helpful netizen suggested an unlikely but fitting venue.

    “You want to live in an area of Singapore with as few Muslims as possible?

    I got one for you.

    It’s a place with open fields and fresh air. You’re surrounded by nature and it’s really peaceful staying there.

    It’s the area around 920 Old Choa Chu Kang Road. Only Christians reside here. There’s not a single Muslim there.”

    And then there are netizens who seem to pluck statistics out of a hole no one can see.

    “Public housing in Singapore has racial quota. The effect is that, all public housing estates have similar ratio of Chinese, Indian, and Malay. Very few Chinese are Muslims, not many Indians are Muslims (there are not that many Indians, anyway), and most Malays are Muslims (but Malays are not that numerous, either). Thus, all public housing estates don’t have many Muslims.

    Private housing, on the other hand, has no racial quota. However, Muslims in Singapore tend to be less well-off (to use the polite term), and thus you will less likely see them in private housing.”
