    Chinese Youth In Malaysia Beaten On Bus By Assailants High On Drugs

    A group of youths, believed to be high on drugs, assaulted a student in a bus on Sunday, China Press reported.

    Teh Kian Wei, 17, said the group of about 10 in their early 20s approached him and his female friend (not girlfriend) on the bus they were travelling in from Batu Pahat back to his house in Pontian, Johor, telling them to “go back to China”.

    He said they were on their way home at around 7.15pm after watching a movie at a mall in Batu Pahat.

    “We were seated in the last row when the youths boarded the bus.

    “They told us that this place was their ‘territory’ and asked us to go back to China,” he said.

    Despite ignoring them, Teh said the group punched and kicked him.

    “One of them even used an iron ring to hit me,” he said.

    He also added that he suffered bruises on his back, shoulder and ears.

    Teh said the bus conductor, who tried to intervene, was threatened.

    “They told the conductor they would beat him up too if he didn’t mind his own business,” he said.

    He added that his watch and a smartphone worth a total of about RM2,000 was snatched from him.

    The driver later sent Teh to a police station to lodge a report and to a government clinic for treatment.

    Brother Jailed For Beating Up Sister’s Ex-Boyfriend And Forcing Him To Masturbate

    An unemployed man was on Thursday (July 23) jailed 12 months for helping a friend beat up his sister’s former boyfriend and forcing him to perform a sex act in public.

    Nur Fazli Moha Ghazali, 28, was part of a group that attacked Mr Khairul Nizam Misran, 24.

    Mr Khairul was previously in a relationship with the younger sister of Zulkirman Hassim Abdullah, 21, a friend of Nur Fazli.

    Unhappy about the relationship, Zulkirman arranged for Nur Fazli and another friend, Shahrul Samsudin, 21, to confront Mr Khairul on Sept 27 last year.

    During the confrontation, they assaulted him and also made him strip and masturbate to humiliate him.

    Hasil prestasi cemerlang, seorang pegawai kadet Angkatan Bersenjata Singapura (SAF) Melayu menerima Pedang Kehormatan.

    Ia diberikan kepada pegawai-pegawai kadet yang menunjukkan prestasi terbaik.

    Ahmad Arif Ibrahim, 22 tahun, juga menerima anugerah Bayonet Emas yang berprestij, satu anugerah yang diberikan kepada 10 peratus kadet terbaik dalam satu-satu kohort.

    Beliau juga boleh berbangga kerana dinobatkan sebagai kadet terbaik dalam latihan fizikal.

    Semalam, Ahmad Arif menjadi antara 568 pegawai kadet yang ditauliahkan sebagai pegawai SAF selepas menjalani latihan selama 38 minggu dalam Kursus Pegawai Kadet.

    Selepas tamat latihan, mereka akan menyandang jawatan pegawai komand, pegawai pemberi arahan dan pegawai staf di unit-unit SAF.

    Berucap di majlis tamat kursus SAF, Timbalan Perdana Menteri Teo Chee Hean menggesa para pegawai supaya meneruskan usaha generasi anggota perkhidmatan yang terdahulu.

    Sementara itu, meskipun diiktiraf sebagai antara pegawai kadet terbaik dalam kohortnya, Arif mengakui beliau mulanya sukar menyesuaikan diri semasa beberapa hari pertama menjalani kursus tersebut.

    “Semasa saya sertai BMT, peralihan daripada gaya hidup orang awam kepada gaya hidup seorang askar agak perlahan, dan lebih mudah untuk saya menyesuaikan diri.

    “Tetapi di OCS, mereka mahu kami bukan menjadi orang awam, tetapi menjadi seorang askar, menjadi seorang pemimpin,” ujarnya.

    Untuk mengongsi pengalaman para pegawai kadet, edisi kedua buku ‘One of A Kind’ juga dilancarkan semalam. Edisi pertama diterbitkan pada 2007.

  • HPB Steps Up Effort To Promote Healthy Lifestyle Among Malay Community

    HPB Steps Up Effort To Promote Healthy Lifestyle Among Malay Community

    When the National Disease Registry (NDR) reported in December last year stating that Malays are the unhealthiest in Singapore, it drew a backlash from some people in the community.

    “If a certain issue is indeed worrying and needs immediate attention/solution, why would identifying a certain enthic/community make any difference?” said  Facebook user Zulkifli Yusof.

    According to the NDR report, Malays are more likely to suffer from a stroke, undergo kidney transplants or go through dialysis.

    On Thursday, the Health Promotion Board announced nation-wide efforts stepped up to promote healthy lifestyle, with tailored programmes for the Malay community.

    These programmes consist of establishing health-promoted madrasahs, running the Ramadan “I Quit” smoking cessation campaign, distributing health calendars – consisting of healthy recipes and tips – to Malay families and organising healthy living programmes at mosques.

    During a visit to Al-Ma’arif Al-Islamiyah, one of the participating madrasahs, on Thursday, Associate Professor Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim and parliamentary secretary for the Ministry of Health responded to the reactions.

    He said he has seen positive response on the programmes from madrasah teachers, students and people who go to mosques.

    “The fact that they feel for it means that they are quite committed to their healthy habits and lifestyle.”

    “I feel that those among the (Malay) community who have embraced it (healthy living) are doing their best to eat healthily.”

    There are currently three madrasahs actively promoting healthy living in Singapore: Al Ma’arif Al-Islamiyah, Irsyad Zuhri Al-Islamiyah and Wak Tanjung Al-Islamiyah. HPB plans to extend the initiative to three more.

    These madrasahs now have health programmes permanently fitted into their school curriculum; some of these include health workshops and a student health ambassador-training programme. There are a total of 107 student health ambassadors across the three madrasahs, and their roles include leading health workshops.

    These health workshops are designed to educate students on being mentally and physically healthy. Student ambassadors will hold talks sharing tips on maintaining a balanced diet, healthy stress levels and good self-esteem.

    Faishal said that he is happy with the progress of the programmes, noting that at least 1,800 madrasah students have benefited from them.

    The principal of Al-Ma’arif Al-Islamiyah, Sukarti Asmoin, 61, welcomes the new initiatives as part of the school curriculum. Speaking in Malay, she says she feels that it is important to keep the students healthy so that they will not fall sick.

    It is also encouraged in the religion to maintain good health, which is linked to having a healthy mind, she added.

    The school has also changed the food served in the school. For example, the canteen vendors are only allowed to sell fried foods on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

    Other plans

    For the wider Malay community, HPB aims to recruit 2,000 smokers for the 2015 edition of Ramadan “I Quit” 28-day programme. There were 1,500 sign-ups in 2014.

    They also plan to increase health-screening sessions and venues — from six to 10 mosques.

  • Meet Singapore First F-16 Fighter Pilot Major Yusri Abu Bakar

    Meet Singapore First F-16 Fighter Pilot Major Yusri Abu Bakar

    Hello,

    I want to share about a member of our Malay community whom I believe is a good example and many youngsters in our community look up to him as their idol and role model. He paved the way for us to dream big and give us hope that nothing is impossible.

    He is MAJOR Yusri Abu Bakar the first Malay F-16 fighter pilot in the RSAF. Considering that only ONE in a thousand can make the cut to become a fighter pilot, he managed to overcome the odds stacked against him and show his ability to fly the war machine.

    To earn his wings, Major Yusri had to go through 26 months of pilot training which included 11 months in France on the fighter plane. How many of us can endure and go through such long and tough training just to earn the right to be a pilot? After that only he can start his career as pilot. Because of this I really respect his hard work and belief.

    Even though there are jealous people out there who will say this is about “batuk ditangga” but I hope they will change their mindset and not pull people who are successful down. For every one pilot who get his wings, 999 other pilot wannabeswho are Chinese, Malay, Indian and Eurasian fail to become pilots. This is the reality of wanting to be a pilot where only the best can succeed.

    On a side note, after Major Yusri, there are more up and coming fighter pilots like Captain Azlan Latiff and Captain Iskandar Muhammad who managed to earn their wings and protect our Singapore skies too. See how Major Yusri blazed the way for more of our Malay brothers to become pilots!

    I believe Major Yusri must be on your SG50 list without fail. He is an inspiration to us youngsters in the Malay community.

    Hakim
