  • Inovasi Sofwe ‘Automating’ Syarikat Anak Melayu Raih Anugerah Cemerlang

    Inovasi Sofwe ‘Automating’ Syarikat Anak Melayu Raih Anugerah Cemerlang

    Inovasi sofwe ‘automating’ oleh sebuah syarikat baru tempatan, Versafleet meraih Anugerah Cemerlang Asia Pasifik Frost & Sullivan.

    Anugerah itu mengiktiraf syarikat yang menghasilkan teknologi bermutu yang membawa nilai tambah kepada para pelanggan.

    Sekitar 80 peratus syarikat tempatan masih lagi menggunakan cara manual untuk perancangan logistik. Proses itu sangat rumit, memakan masa dan mahal.

    Menyedari potensi dalam bidang tersebut, Muhd Shamir Abdul Rahim, 34 tahun mencipta sendiri Versafleet – sofwe ‘automating’ yang memudahkan syarikat-syarikat melakukan perancangan logistik dengan cepat.

    Encik Shamir, CEO Versafleet, berkata: “Ia sangat penting sekarang kerana dengan popularnya e-dagang, logistik, jumlah bungkusan yang dihantar tidak lagi dalam lima hingga empat bungkusan sehari, ia sekurang-kurangnya puluhan. Dari 60, kadang-kadang boleh meningkat kepada lebih 100 bungkusan sehari.”

    Dengan itu, Versafleet menjadi portal sehenti untuk syarikat-syarikat – dari menguruskan pesanan, memantau pelanggan, mengesan kenderaan sehinggalah pesanan itu sampai di pangkuan pelanggan.

    Sejak dilancarkan empat tahun lalu, lebih 60 syarikat kecil dan sederhana (SME) kini menggunakan sofwenya dan berjaya menguruskan sehingga 2,000 penghantaran bungkusan.

    Bagi Encik Shamir, beliau percaya inisiatif yang dihasilkannya adalah selaras dengan misi negara bijak. Beliau mendorong para usahawan muda supaya memanfaatkan peluang yang tersedia ada.

    “Geran-geran seperti iSPRINT daripada IDA, ia menawarkan diskaun, kadangkalanya sehingga 70 peratus untuk SME. Yang paling penting, perubahan minda. Contohnya, daya tahan, kegigihan, tidak senang putus asa,dapat mempelajari sesuatu yang baru dengan cepat kerana perkembangan teknologi terlalu pesat- tiga hingga enam bulan akan berubah,” kata beliau.

    Memandang ke hadapan, Encik Shamir mahu meluaskan lagi sofwenya kepada lebih banyak SME tempatan.

  • Religious Malays Breed Carelessly, Don’t Take Charge Of Their Lives, Perpetuate Handout Mentality

    Religious Malays Breed Carelessly, Don’t Take Charge Of Their Lives, Perpetuate Handout Mentality

    Melayu yang susah tapi anak ramai are usually from the alim tak alim type. It is also the same group that perpetuate that handout mentality.

    Beranak more than they can afford (besarkan anak bukan setakat bela bagi makan minum, there are college and uni fees to consider which most Malays dont) then expect the government to tanggung all their offsprings studies.

    Menyusahkan orang.

    Have what you can afford and not beyond that.

    Plan and think long term.

    Kalau asyik pikir berapa ramai nak baca doa depan kubur kitalah mentaliti bangang yang memperabihkan khazanah negara untuk nak dibela.

  • Mahaguru Tembikar, Iskandar Jalil, Terima Ijazah Kehormat Doktor Persuratan NTU

    Mahaguru Tembikar, Iskandar Jalil, Terima Ijazah Kehormat Doktor Persuratan NTU

    Pakar tembikar tersohor Singapura, Iskandar Jalil, yang biasa dan mesra dipanggil ‘Cikgu Iskandar’, kini boleh memakai gelaran ‘Dr Iskandar’ pula!

    Ini apabila beliau menerima Ijazah Kehormat Doktor Persuratan (D.Litt) dari Universiti Teknologi Nanyang (NTU), sebagai mengiktiraf pencapaiannya dalam seni tembikar dan khidmat cemerlang beliau dalam bidang pendidikan.

    Pengiktirafan itu disampaikan pada hari pertama majlis konvokesyen NTU hari ini (25 Jul).

    Ini merupakan pengiktirafan tertinggi dan terkini buat pakar seramik itu yang sebelum ini dijulang dengan Pingat Budaya, Bintang Bakti Masyarakat, dan Darjah Matahari Terbit dari Maharaja Jepun.

    TEMBIKAR BELIAU DISIMPAN ORANG KENAMAAN

    “Ijazah Kehormat ini satu kejutan manis. Saya tidak mengejar anugerah mahupun gelaran. Namun saya tahu dan hargai betapa tingginya pengiktirafan ini. Saya berasa begitu terharu dan rendah diri diberi penganugerahan ini oleh NTU,” kata Dr Iskandar.

    Sejak tahun 1970-an, hasil seni Encik Iskandar menyerikan banyak ruang muzium dan awam.

    Malah ia turut menjadi pilihan bagi menghiasi ruang orang-orang kenamaan termasuk mantan Presiden Singapura Wee Kim Wee, mantan Perdana Menteri Singapura Lee Kuan Yew, Sultan Brunei, mantan Presiden Amerika George Bush, mantan Gabenor Hong Kong dan Koleksi Seni Presiden di Istana Singapura.

    Encik Iskandar pernah memupuk ramai bakat seni muda dan sudah berjaya menerusi kegiatan mengajar di pelbagai institusi.

    Encik Iskandar juga memainkan peranan penting menubuhkan kemudahan membuat tembikar dan bengkel-bengkel bagi kumpulan-kumpulan seperti Persatuan Paraplegik Singapura, Jalan Bahar Clay Studio dan Pusat Warisan Melayu di Kampong Glam.

    SOKONG PARA PELAJAR DALAMI PEMBELAJARAN

    Beliau turut menyokong para pelajar dalam pameran-pameran tembikar dan program-program pertukaran budaya di luar negara supaya mereka dapat mendalaminya.

    “(Dengan) pengiktirafan ini, boleh saya katakan pemerintah dan institusi pengajian tinggi mengakui bahawa ada peluang, ada masa depan untuk mereka kalau mereka berdedikasi untuk pelajaran,” kata Encik Iskandar.

    “Saya juga berasa sangat terdorong kerana ia bermakna institusi-institusi kini menjadi lebih sedar tentang seni tembikar dan perkembangannya. Sungguh meyakinkan untuk mengetahui bahawa akan ada sokongan bagi generasi tembikar seterusnya dan untuk murid-murid saya,” ujar beliau lagi.

    Cikgu Iskandar menyertai Maktab Latihan Perguruan (kini NIE) untuk menjadi guru matematik dan sains pada tahun 1960.

    Beliau kemudian menjadi antara segelintir sahaja orang yang mendapat bukan satu, tetapi dua Biasiswa Rancangan Colombo.

    Bagi biasiswa pertama, beliau mendalami bidang tekstil, dan bagi biasiswa kedua pula Pak Iskandar mendalami kejuruteraan seramik di Jepun. Dari situlah bermulanya perjalanan sepanjang hayat beliau dalam bidang tembikar, pendidikan dan hubungan kebudayaan beliau dengan Jepun.

    IJAZAH KONVOKESYEN NTU 2016

    Dr Iskandar menjadi antara penerima ulung dalam majlis konvokesyen NTU tahun ini, di mana lebih 9,100 lulusan akan menerima ijazah masing-masing.

    Satu tinjauan universiti itu menunjukkan 70 peratus siswazah tahun ini berjaya mendapatkan pekerjaan sebelum tamat pengajian mereka.

    Kadar itu sama seperti kohort tamat pengajian tahun lalu tetapi lebih tinggi berbanding kohort dalam tahun sebelumnya.

  • Racial Harmony Alive In Singapore: Multiracial Effort Helped Old Man Who Fell Off From Bike

    Racial Harmony Alive In Singapore: Multiracial Effort Helped Old Man Who Fell Off From Bike

    What happened last night reaffirmed my beliefs that RACIAL HARMONY is still strong in Singapore !

    About 7:30pm last night, I was about to chase a bus back home at Elias CC. Then a woman yelled “that old man fell down”
    My wife and I turned and we saw that an old man fell off his bike. We got nearer by walking and realized he was bleeding. It then turned into a sprint.

    I yelled to my wife to call the ambulance while I dug my bag for a shirt. I immediately applied pressure on his head where he was bleeding from. He was shivering and muttering. I continued applying pressure and carried him up to sit at the ledge. At that point of time all I could think of is to stop his bleeding as it has already went down to his shirt.

    Out of nowhere, a few passer by came by to help.
    1) a Chinese woman shielded the old man with an umbrella while asking the old man for his family member’s contact.
    2) a Malay man came to us and took the old man’s bicycle aside (it was still in front of me)
    3) An Indian man rushed to the nearest clinic and called the doctor to help
    4) a Bangladeshi man stood behind me to shield me and the old man from the rain while I was still applying pressure.

    The scary part to me was holding the shirt and feeling it getting heavier and warmer. I didn’t want to apply too much till I hurt the uncle nor do I want to be too soft till blood keeps flowing.

    Shortly after, the doctor that the Indian man went to get, came down. He came with an assistant. I relieved my position and the doctor covered the old man’s wound with a gauze. While this was happening :

    1) Malay man was constantly looking out for the ambulance
    2) the Chinese woman got a hold of the old man’s family and comforted the old man that they are on their way
    3) the Indian man gave his wet tissues to my wife so she could wipe blood of the old man’s hand and face
    4) the Bangladeshi man was still using his umbrella to cover the old man and also the doctor

    Like what it seems to be forever, the ambulance finally came. Bringing the old man and his grandson to the hospital.

    I don’t even know the names of the people who helped me last night but I was truly touched and moved by the unconditional help by our fellow Singaporeans (and Foreign help!!)

    What gave me hope that the uncle can make it was that he was even asking for his bicycle when he was being put on the ambulance ?

    Thank you my wife Jenny Insyirah Farhanah Lim for calling the ambulance and aided them to come to the exact location. Then also helping the uncle wipe off the blood on his face and hands.

    But most of all, to those people who rushed down and help, thank you very much. I am extremely touched (‘:
