    Abdul Rahman Mohamed: Kecewa Pemerintah Singapura Beri Pelonggaran Visa Bagi Rakyat Myanmar Sedangkan Masalah Rohingya Semakin Ketara

    Sudah tentu pengumuman dan langkah sebegini pada masa ini oleh pemerintah akan mengguris perasaan ummat Islam Singapura.

    Tatkala ribuan saudara2 Muslim dibunuh kejam oleh para pengganas Budhist Myanmar, pemerintah kita pula membuat keputusan utk memberi laluan mudah utk rakyat Myanmar memasuki Singapura dengan cara mudah tanpa memerlukan visa!

    Sementara kami disuruh memahami langkah2 yg diambil utk membendung kemasukkan individu2 Muslim yg mempunyai ciri2 Radikal, Extreme dan Pengganas, berkemungkinan yg akan diberi laluan mudah utk masuk ke Singapura ini merupakan individu2 pengganas Budhist Myanmar yg telah mengotori tangan2 mereka dengan darah saudara Islam kita Rohingya.

    Sudahlah segala kekejaman itu dibiarkan tanpa ada suara2 mengutuk tiba2 laporan begini pula yg diumumkan.

    Sangat mengecewakan…….

  • 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!

  • Losing Dad And Best Friend No Obstacle For Girl To Make It To Secondary School

    Losing Dad And Best Friend No Obstacle For Girl To Make It To Secondary School

    Nine days before her first Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) paper, Putri Lydia Hemamalini lost her “best friend” to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

    That friend was her 64-year-old father, who had suffered from the condition for about three years.

    “I would share my problems with him and he would give me advice,” the Lianhua Primary School pupil said.

    “I wanted to do my best at the PSLE and make him proud.”

    Yesterday, the 12-year-old was recognised by her principal for her perseverance. She was asked to stand while schoolmates applauded her.

    She received an A grade for Malay, C for English, and Ds for science and mathematics at the national exam, and can move on to a secondary school.

    During the difficult period, Putri had to juggle preparing for her PSLE and offering emotional support to her 47-year-old mother, who works as a crew member at McDonald’s, and her three siblings aged between eight and 17.

    Besides revising daily when she got home after school, she also had to help out with household chores.

    “I had to stay positive for my family,” she said.

    Teachers and schoolmates rallied around Putri in her grief, helping with questions about schoolwork and offering words of encouragement.

    “The school is like a second home to me,” Putri said.

    “My teachers and friends have been very supportive. I am thankful for them and will miss them when I leave this school.”

    Madam Po Mun Ying, her form teacher, said Putri is a cheerful and upbeat child who demonstrated resilience to work hard in her studies.

    “She also knew she had to do her best to make her dad and family proud,” Madam Po added.

    Dzar Ismail: Parents Are Congratulated For Children’s PSLE Results, Don’t Forget To Thank Teachers Too

    My friend, a teacher had mixed feelings about the PSLE results today. A Foundation student he taught, managed to get into the Express stream. His parents beemed with pride, came up to my friend and cried. They apologized profusely. Why?

    Sometime early this year, they lodged a complaint to the school principal because they felt that my friend’s teaching skills were not conventional. My friend got a warning letter. An unneccesary warning letter.

    Visibly upset with what he felt was an unfair verdict, he could have toned down. But, he soldiered on because the student’s parents did not proactively help their child at home with his studies. The results were eminent early this morning.

    So when they came to apologize, and thank my friend, it was too late. Damage was done. The warning letter will affect his grade and his bonus.

    Ladies and gentlemen. This is why we lose quality individuals in the teaching fratenity. The system is quick to penalise our teachers just to appease their stakeholders.

    Not all teachers work for the money. Many I know do it because they want to unleash every child’s potential, regardless of the family social climate they come from.

    Ive seen many posts thanking parents. Here’s one to all the teachers for a job well done.

  • Bernard Chen: Lee Kuan Yew Would Not Have Approved Of Malay President Through Affirmative Action

    Bernard Chen: Lee Kuan Yew Would Not Have Approved Of Malay President Through Affirmative Action

    The PAP turns 62 today. A week ago, they spoke up for and stood by affirmative action, the very principle that its founding members fought against, every tooth and every nail. The irony passes them by as they legitimises it with an overwhelming vote in Parliament.

    Unlike affirmative action apologists, the late Lee Kuan Yew would never rush into positions for appearance sake. He would have turned in his grave, literally and metaphorically. He took what he saw as a Malaysian Malaysian, put everything on the line and took us out of a merger that he had so vehemently believed in. The conviction in their spirits then, soulless today. The PAP of 2016 turned their back on what the pioneer generation believed, the same generation whom they had so profusely thanked in 2015. We the younger ones were asked to learn from our pioneers. They have clearly forgotten all of that today.

    I grew up being told by my PAP leaders that affirmative action is not what Singapore believes in. Look at Malaysia, affirmative action. Singapore wants none of that. Now we have affirmative action delivered on a plate by that parliamentary majority. Sad, none of the sitting MPs thought that this was so so wrong. None. And they say they have the interests of Singapore at heart. The temerity, the audacity, the tragedy of it all.

    Today, we have nothing but this obscurantist doctrine, reinforced by the sitting Minister for Malay-Muslim affairs. Simply to get a ceremonial position for a Malay and their problem as a community will be resolved. This is no different as how easily a bill gets passed in a parliament heavily skewed in the favour of these new apologists. The whole clan [and parliament] celebrates. It was not too long ago they call members on the other side of the spectrum chauvinists and discredit them with the might of the machinery.

    They clutched at straws but wielded the stick with the blank cheque they were given. The recent amendments to the Constitution is an indictment of how far the PAP had deviated from their beliefs and founding principles. Just cut the rhetoric. This is a totally different party today, from what it was in 1954.

    With you, for you, for Singapore. The hypocrisy. The PAP of 2016. Happy 62nd Birthday, the leviathan that is the PAP. Barely recognisable from the one that ushered in independent Singapore in 1965.

    The next time, when you say you believe in the PAP, remember to opt yourself out from that affirmative action that is now a part of the PAP’s DNA. Guilt by association, as they say.
