  • Singaporean Attacked In Johor: ‘It Was The Longest 10 Minutes Of My Life’

    Singaporean Attacked In Johor: ‘It Was The Longest 10 Minutes Of My Life’

    What started as a routine trip to Kuala Lumpur turned into a nightmare for a Singaporean businessman.

    Mr Herman Zaidin, 31, was driving home to Singapore alone along the North-South Highway near Simpang Renggam in Johor on Sunday evening when a group of more than 10 men assaulted and robbed him.

    The attack came after one of them claimed to have been injured after hitting his motorcycle against Mr Herman’s car on the heavily congested road.

    During the attack, one of the men even used a spanner to smash his Mercedes Benz’s windscreen and hit his left eye.

    “There is now internal bleeding in my eye and my vision is blurry.

    “I’m very worried, as a doctor told me these’s a possibility that my vision may be permanently affected after this,” Mr Herman told The New Paper after visiting the hospital yesterday.

    He has since made police reports about his ordeal in both Singapore and Johor Baru.

    Singapore police and an officer at Simpang Renggam Police Station confirmed the reports.

    Mr Herman told TNP he drives to the Malaysian capital almost weekly for business trips.

    The highway was congested with bumper-to-bumper traffic as he was driving home his Singapore-registered car at around 11.30pm.

    He was in the left-most lane and was about 90km away from Tuas Checkpoint when he felt something hitting the rear of his vehicle.

    When he looked at his side mirror, he saw a motorcyclist falling off his bike.

    Worried that the rider could have been injured, Mr Herman said he stopped his car.

    All of a sudden, more than 10 men, who looked to be in their late teens and early 20s, came towards him on motorcycles and surrounded his car.

    Mr Herman said: “They accused me of causing the accident and started banging on my car. They also hurled vulgarities and asked me to step out.

    “The rider who hit me also came forward and demanded a compensation. I panicked.”

    One of the men then took out a spanner and used it to smash his windscreen.

    Seeing this, Mr Herman decided to wind down his window to talk to the men.

    He said: “I had no choice as my window could have been broken next. I had to talk to them to find out exactly what they wanted.”

    What happened next took place so quickly that it seemed like a blur now, he said.

    “One of the guys unlocked the door and opened it. Then they started to rain blows on me. One guy used the spanner and hit my left eye.

    “With one hand, I held on to my seat belt while I covered my face with the other.”

    The men ordered him to get out of his car, but he refused as he feared they might drive away in it.

    Realising that he would not budge, the men ordered him to hand over his wallet containing about S$300 and RM400 (about S$130)

    After he gave in to their demands, they also helped themselves to his in-vehicle camera, his mobile phone and its power bank.

    ESCAPE

    They also ordered him to open the boot from the driver’s seat. When he gave in, they took his laptop computer which had been placed there and fled on their bikes.

    Mr Herman said he lost about $2,400 worth of valuables.

    He said: “I (later) stepped out of my car and when I went to the rear, I saw no dent there.

    “I’m sure the accident was staged, for after the biker fell off, he immediately asked me for compensation.

    “The ordeal lasted about 10 minutes, but it was the longest 10 minutes of my life.”

    Mr Herman said he was disappointed that no-one came to his aid.

    “The road was congested so I’m sure many motorists saw what had happened. Maybe they thought it was a genuine accident or were just too afraid to step in.”

    In pain and nursing a badly bruised eye, he managed to drive to the Johor checkpoint. Due to the congestion, he only reached the checkpoint about 1½ hours later, when it usually takes 45 minutes.

    He told the immigration officers about what had happened and they referred him to the Malaysian police.

    Mr Herman continued his journey home after filing a report. By the time he got to the Tuas Checkpoint, it was already about 3am on Monday.

    There, police and immigration officers saw his bruises and asked him what happened.

    They called for an ambulance, but he declined the service as he wanted to go home first to park his car.

    Mr Herman only called for an ambulance when he arrived home in the central part of Singapore.

    He was taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital, where a doctor told him that even though he had bruises all over his body, the main worry was his eye.

    He now needs to go for further check-ups.

    Mr Herman said: “Looking back, I’m lucky that my injuries were not life-threatening. The men could have stabbed me.

    “However, the incident has left me shaken and I don’t think I will be driving to Kuala Lumpur anytime soon. I will fly there instead until I feel brave enough to drive again.”

  • Sultan Of Johor ‘Declines Offer To Be Next King’

    Sultan Of Johor ‘Declines Offer To Be Next King’

    Johor’s Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar has said he declined an offer to be the next Malaysian king because “he wants to strictly adhere to the rotation system”.

    He disclosed this in a Facebook post late on Friday night, hours after the Conference of Rulers ended a three-day meeting by choosing the Sultan of Kelantan, Muhammad V, as the next Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

    Under Malaysia’s unique monarchy system, the hereditary rulers from the nine states on the peninsula take turns to be the country’s head of state for a five-year term.

    The Johor ruler said in his Facebook posting that, contrary to social media reports, he declined the offer to become the next Yang di-Pertuan Agong because he wanted to strictly adhere to the rotation system set by the Conference of Rulers.

    He added: “Under this time-tested succession pattern, the Sultan of Kelantan is next in line, followed by the Sultan of Pahang. Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar respects and understands the rule of succession by rotation and wishes to abide by this.”

    The Johor Sultan’s Facebook post raised some eyebrows.

    “It is very rare for details of discussions in a Rulers’ Council meeting to be disclosed to the public,” said Mr Wan Saiful Wan Jan, chief executive of think-tank the Institute for Democracy and Economic Affairs.

    The British-educated Muhammad V, 47, who is the current deputy king, will be the 15th Yang di-Pertuan Agong since Malaysia’s independence. He succeeds 88-year-old Kedah ruler Sultan Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah, whose reign as king officially ends on Dec 12.

    There was a surprising turn of events in the selection of the next deputy king, according to The Star newspaper.

    Perak ruler Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah, 59, was chosen as deputy Yang di-Pertuan Agong although Pahang ruler Sultan Ahmad Shah was next in line for the post, the newspaper said. Sultan Ahmad, who will soon turn 86, was seen being driven in a yellow buggy inside the palace to attend the meeting on the first day of the rulers’ conference.

    For the first time, both the newly selected king and his deputy are a generation younger than most of the other rulers, The Star noted.

    Under the federal Constitution, the role of Yang di-Pertuan Agong is mostly ceremonial. He acts as the head of Islam and appoints Cabinet ministers and senior judges on the advice of the prime minister.

    The chairman of this year’s Conference of Rulers was the Johor Sultan, but the Raja of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Tuanku Syed Putra Jamalullail, chaired the final day’s special meeting to select the king and his deputy, according to The Star.

    Voting for the new king is usually done via a secret ballot handed out by the Keeper of the Rulers’ Seal during the special election meeting. A majority of five votes is required before the chairman presiding over the meeting offers the office of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to the nominee.

  • Sultan Kelantan Dipilih Yang Di-Pertuan Agong Yang Ke 15

    Sultan Kelantan Dipilih Yang Di-Pertuan Agong Yang Ke 15

    Dalam pertemuan Mesyuarat Majlis Raja-Raja Ke-242 yang diadakan hari ini, agenda utama yang digariskan adalah pemilihan Yang di-Pertuan Agong ke-15.

    Mesyuarat Majlis Raja-Raja Khas tersebut dipengerusikan oleh Sultan Johor, Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar bertembat di Istana Negara, Kuala Lumpur.

    Keputusan daripada perbincangan dalam Mesyuarat Majlis Raja-Raja Ke-242 masih lagi belum dikeluarkan secara rasmi, tetapi terdapat perkhabaran yang menyatakan Sultan Kelantan, Sultan Muhammad V akan mengambil alih sebagai YDP Agong Malaysia yang baharu menggantikan Tuanku Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah yang akan berakhir 12 Disember ini.

     Keputusan tersebut berdasarkan sistem penggiliran yang diamalkan oleh Majlis Raja-Raja dalam memilih Yang di-Pertuan Agong Negara sejak dahulu lagi.

    Terdapat beberapa faktor yang akan dipertimbangkan oleh Majlis Raja-Raja menerusi undi rahsia bagi menentukan pengganti seterusnya seperti baginda yang dilantik berkenan untuk menjadi Yang di-Pertuan Agong dan tidak mengalami kelemahan atau ketidakupayaan mental.

    Selain itu, baginda yang dilantik adalah merupakan raja yang berada di kedudukan teratas, mendapat sokongan sekurang-kurangnya lima raja lain serta bukan seseorang yang telah memegang jawatan Yang di-Pertuan Agong selama dua penggal berturut-turut.

    Mengikut kebiasaan sebelum proses pemilihan berlangsung, Penyimpan Mohor Besar Raja-Raja terlebih dahulu akan menanyakan raja yang seterusnya dalam senarai giliran mengenai kesediaannya untuk dipilih sebagai Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

    Dalam masa yang sama, Sultan Perak Sultan Nazrin Shah dipilih sebagai Timbalan Yang di-Pertuan Agong mulai 13 Dis 2016 untuk tempoh lima tahun.

  • TMJ Dakwa Ada Bukti FAM Amalkan Rasuah Selama 30 Tahun

    TMJ Dakwa Ada Bukti FAM Amalkan Rasuah Selama 30 Tahun

    Tunku Mahkota Johor, Tunku Ismail Ibni Sultan Ibrahim mendakwa beliau mempunyai bukti bahawa Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) dicemari amalan rasuah selama 30 tahun.

    Dalam catatan di laman Facebook rasmi kelab Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) hari ini (18 Julai), Tunku Ismail memuat naik gambar beliau sedang memegang ‘pendrive’ sambil tersenyum.

    Beliau juga mendakwa mempunyai butiran lanjut amalan rasuah itu, termasuk ketirisan penjualan tiket perlawanan akhir Piala FA dan Piala Malaysia, pengambilan duit kelab dan laporan audit yang “merepek”, menurut Malaysiakini.

    “Apa yang pelik adalah anda semua boleh terima selama ini dan sanggup mempertegakkan 30 tahun korupsi dalam Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM).

    “Ini adalah ‘pendrive’ diberikan kepada saya oleh sahabat-sahabat saya yang berkedudukan tertinggi di Kuala Lumpur.

    “Ia berkenaan maklumat dan aktiviti dalam FAM, ketirisan penjualan tiket perlawanan akhir Piala FA dan Piala Malaysia, orang-orang media yang FAM selalu gunakan termasuk bekas-bekas pemain di Malaysia, duit-duit kelab yang diambil oleh FMLLP (Usahawan Liabiliti Terhad Bola Sepak Malaysia) dan diberikan kepada FAM serta laporan audit yang merepek,” tulis Tunku Ismail dalam catatan di Facebook Johor Southern Tigers.

    JANGAN DIAJAK PENEMBAK TEPAT PERGI MENEMBAK Anda memberi komen tentang pemain yang bersara dan membuat kenyataan…

    Posted by JOHOR Southern Tigers on Sunday, 17 July 2016

    Tunku Ismail menambah, beliau memutuskan untuk mendedahkan demikian hari ini kerana “mungkin sudah sampai masanya untuk penyokong bola sepak tanahair melihat dan menilainya sendiri.”

    “Akhir sekali, saya ingin mengingatkan, duit rakyat sepatutnya digunakan untuk rakyat sahaja. Bukan untuk bola sepak dan kepentingan politik. Sila selesai isu gaji pemain yang sudah lama tidak diselesaikan,” kata beliau.

    Selain itu, Tunku Ismail juga mengkritik komen-komen yang dikeluarkan tentang persaraan empat pemain JDT dari skuad kebangsaan, dan berkata, ia “seolah-olah mereka tidak pernah berkhidmat dan mencapai kejayaan bersama pasukan kebangsaan.”

    Empat pemain JDT – Safiq Rahim, Aidil Zafuan Abdul Radzak, Amirul Hadi Zainal dan S Kunanlan – mengumumkan persaraan mereka sebelum ini. Tunku Ismail ketika itu mendakwa mereka bersara kerana tidak diberi layanan baik.

    “Apa yang susah sangat untuk menghormati keputusan mereka? Satu perkataan sahaja yang anda (pengkritik) harus katakan tentang mereka atau kepada mereka iaitu ‘terima kasih’.

    “Terima kasih atas pengorbanan mereka selama ini. Itu sahaja,” tulis Tunku Ismail dalam catatannya di Facebook.

    TMJ DEDAH DOKUMEN BUTIRAN KELEMAHAN PASUKAN, FAM

    Dalam satu lagi catatan di Facebook itu beberapa jam setelah itu, Tunku Ismail juga mendedahkan sesetengah maklumat yang menurutnya, dicetak dari sumber dalaman FAM dan “salah satu organisasi tertinggi yang masih sayangkan bola sepak Malaysia.”

    Antara masalah yang didapati pada pasukan kebangsaan, kata beliau memetik dokumen itu, ialah “kualiti pada jurulatih tidak memuaskan” dan “pemilihan pemain di tahap liga diganggu oleh pegawai-pegawai atasan”.

    SESETENGAH MAKLUMAT DI HALAMAN 3.1.2.1 dan 3.1.2.2 YANG TELAH DICETAK DARI SUMBER DALAMAN FAM DAN SALAH SATU ORGANISASI…

    Posted by JOHOR Southern Tigers on Monday, 18 July 2016

    Antara masalah pengurusan yang didapati dalam FAM pula, menurutnya, ialah “FAM menggunakan kaedah lama dalam pengurusan bola sepak”, “gaji jurulatih tempatan dan jurulatih pasukan kebangsaan terlalu tinggi” dan “tidak pernah mengambil serius skandal mengatur perlawanan.”

    FAM NAFI BENARKAN BUDAYA RASUAH

    Sementara itu, FAM menegaskan pihaknya tidak membenarkan budaya rasuah dalam persatuan itu kerana Persekutuan Bola Sepak Antarabangsa (FIFA) dan Konfederasi Bola Sepak Asia (AFC) turut bertegas dalam menangani rasuah, lapor Malaysiakini.

    “Jawatankuasa Integriti juga ditubuhkan FAM untuk memantau bukan sahaja pasukan bola sepak, malah keseluruhan pentadbiran dan juga barisan kepimpinan,” kata Setiausaha Agung FAM Datuk Hamidin Mohd Amin dalam sidang media hari ini.

    Datuk Hamidin juga menambah, “sesiapa sahaja ada hak (laporkan) kepada SPRM (Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia” ketika ditanya sama ada beliau berpendapat Tunku Ismail perlu melaporkan perkara itu kepada SPRM.

    Datuk Hamidin berkata beliau akan menghubungi sendiri Tunku Ismail berhubung hal itu.

  • Pendakwah Singapura Rasul Dahri Dipenjara Di JB, Mengajar Tanpa Tauliah

    Pendakwah Singapura Rasul Dahri Dipenjara Di JB, Mengajar Tanpa Tauliah

    PENDAKWAH bebas dari Singapura, Rasul Dahri, kini dipenjara di Johor Bahru setelah didapati bersalah mengajar tanpa tauliah di Johor Bahru baru-baru ini.

    Atas kesalahan itu juga, dia turut didenda RM5,000 ($1,690.)

    Jurucakap Jabatan Agama Islam Negeri Johor (Jainj) memberitahu Berita Harian bahawa Mahkamah Syariah Johor telah menjatuhkan hukuman penjara dan denda itu atas kegagalan Rasul Dahri mendapatkan tauliah dan menyebarkan fahaman yang bercanggah dengan Ahli Sunah Waljamaah.

    Menurut Jainj, setiap pendakwah yang ingin mengajar agama sama ada dari Singapura atau Malaysia sendiri mesti mendapatkan sijil pentauliahan dan patuh dengan garis panduan yang dikeluarkan oleh Jainj.

    “Prosedur yang ditetapkan itu perlu diikuti dan pentauliahan penting bagi memastikan pendakwah menyampaikan ceramah atau kuliah selari dengan fahaman Ahli Sunah Waljamaah.

    “Jadi pentauliahan itu penting bagi Jainj mengawal umat Islam daripada menerima ilmu yang salah daripada orang yang tidak jelas ajarannya,” kata jurucakap Jainj.

    Menurutnya, kegiatan Rasul Dahri mengajar agama di Johor telah dikesan sejak 2007 dan beberapa kali Rasul Dahri didapati tidak mendapatkan kebenaran daripada Jainj bagi menyampaikan ajaran agama.

    Jainj telah memperketat ajaran agama di Johor dengan memperkenal pentauliahan bagi semua guru agama.

    Setiap guru agama perlu membuat permohonan pentauliahan bagi memudahkan perjalanan kerja dan kegiatan dakwah mereka dipantau.

    Malah, menurutnya, pendakwah terkenal dari Malaysia sendiri yang sering muncul di kaca televisyen juga perlu mendapatkan pentauliahan sebelum menyampaikan ceramah agama di Johor.

    Jainj juga berkata pihaknya sebelum ini telah membenarkan ramai pendakwah dan guru agama dari Singapura memberi ceramah agama di Johor.

    “Ramai penceramah dari Singapura kami izinkan mengajar, memberi ceramah, malah menjadi imam di masjid di Johor setelah mereka mendapatkan pentauliahan kami.

    “Kami tidak menghalang mana-mana pihak dari Singapura yang selari dengan ajaran Ahli Sunah Waljamaah mengajar di sini selagi mereka mengikut peraturan Jainj.

    “Sebelum memberi pentauliahan, kami akan menemu ramah setiap individu bagi memastikan ajaran mereka tidak memecahbelahkan akidah, pegangan serta kepercayaan umat Islam di negeri Johor,” tambah jurucakap Jainj.

    Ajar agama tanpa tauliah, sebar fahaman bercanggah Ahli Sunah Waljamaah.
