  • Father Of First Female ISA Radicalism Detainee Regrets Not Reporting Her

    Father Of First Female ISA Radicalism Detainee Regrets Not Reporting Her

    The father of the first woman detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA) regrets not reporting his daughter to the authorities.

    Mr Syaikh Abdu Manaf Al Ansari told Berita Harian last night that he and his wife had questioned Syaikhah Izzah Zahrah Al Ansari in late 2014, after noticing she had started dressing in black and wearing the niqab, a facial veil which reveals only the eyes. She was also using the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) flag as her WhatsApp display picture, he said.

    “I asked if she was an ISIS member. She denied it but said she thought ISIS was fighting for Islam,” said Mr Manaf, 49.

    “I told her all well-known Islamic scholars reject ISIS. I asked, is it halal in Islam to kill innocent people, children and women? I told her to show me evidence from the Quran and sunnah (prophetic teachings) that it is halal. She just kept silent.”

    Mr Manaf and his wife, both Quranic teachers, gave Izzah – the second of five children – religious advice, and decided not to inform the authorities after she stopped wearing the niqab and started listening to music and watching films again.

    “We thought she was okay. But we did not realise she had become more radical. She was smart at hiding herself,” he said.

    After Izzah was arrested, he found documents in her room with information about moving to Syria, including how to get tickets.

    He felt “disgust and anger” and, in a bid to “protect her”, threw the materials away. He told the authorities about them only during the investigation, and was given a warning.

    “This should not have happened. I really regret it,” he said.

    He advised the public to contact the authorities or the Religious Rehabilitation Group (RRG), which helps to counter radical ideology, if they notice suspicious changes in their loved ones. “To other parents, this comes from the bottom of my heart. If you see any sudden changes, et cetera, contact the authorities. If not (the authorities), contact RRG,” he said.

    Rudy Marican: Apa Dah Jadi Dengan Masyarakat Islam Kita, Mak Sendiri Pun Tak Ambil Kisah?

    Malam ne hati saya rasa amat sedeh hingga saya jadi sanggat emotional dan tak tahu macam mana nak tolong satu lagi mak chik yang di tinggalkan oleh anak anak nya!

    Lima anak dewasa dan satu pun tak takut Allah bila dengan hati yang keras mereka tak nak ambil tahu pasal mak langsung walaupun mak dah tua dan sakit! Macam mana saya tak menagis dalam kesedehan bila dengar macik ne mengadu pada saya. Anak anak bergadoh dengan satu sama lain tak nak jaga mak!!!

    Apa dah jadi pada masyarakat Islam saya? Kenapa mereka buat begini pada mak sendiri ?

    Ada kah mereka tak sedar yang mereka juga akan tua dan anak anak akan buat yang sama pada mereka?

    Ada kah mereka tak faham agama kita…ia itu cara yang paling senang nak masok shurga ia lah jaga orang tua kita dengan penuh kaseh sayang ..walaupun kita tak ada cukup duit…dan hidup kita penuh dengan cabaran???

    Tapi kalau dengan hati penuh ikhlas dan kaseh sayang kita tetap jaga orang tua kita…Allah akan memberi kita ganjaran yang amat besar..kenapa kita maseh nak dengar bisikan Shaitan???? Saya sedeh sanggat kerana saya sendiri dah tanamkan mak kesayangan saya!!

    Saya bermohon kapada anda tolong lah buat perubahan sebelum terlambat kalau anda rasa anda dalam golongan ne…saya tak ada niat nak kecikkan hati sesiapa ya…cuma saya amat sedeh bila macik menangis kat saya..

    Memang mak kita tak sempurna sepenuhnya…tapi kita pun tak sempurna kan? Jadi ingat satu aje…kita boleh pileh kawan…tapi kita tak boleh pileh mak…itu juga ujian kita dari Allah semasa dalam dunia sementara ne!

    Tiap tiap hari kita berdoa supaya Allah maafkan dosa dosa kita , tapi tanpa kita sedari dosa besar kita terhadap mak kita…bila kita tak bantu sikit pun kepada mak yang mengandongkan kita 9 bulan dan kemudian mengalami kesakitan yang amat dahshat untok melahirkan kita!

    Saya berdoa anda cuba lah …memang jaga mak kadang kadang ujian nya berat tapi Allah dah janji Janna kan…? Mesti lah cabaran nya berat sikit…sabar lah…banyak doa supaya kita lulus ujian ne dengan cemerlang…

    Saya berdoa malam ne …kalau saya dapat menpengarohi satu anak untok menjaga mak atau ayah dengan penuh ikhlas dan kaseh sayang…saya akan amat bershukur pada Allah!

    Salam dari saya dan maafkan saya kalau bahasa saya kurang sempurna ya!

  • Awas, Elakkan Letak Gambar Anak Sebagai Gambar Profil WhatsApp

    Awas, Elakkan Letak Gambar Anak Sebagai Gambar Profil WhatsApp

    Orang ramai disaran supaya tidak menjadikan gambar keluarga terutama anak-anak mereka sebagai gambar profil pada aplikasi WhatsApp kerana ia boleh mengundang risiko keselamatan.

    Penolong Pesuruhjaya Perlindungan Data Peribadi, Jabatan Perlindungan Data Peribadi Mohd Shazrol Mohd Shah berkata adalah dibimbangi pihak yang berniat jahat mengakses gambar itu seterusnya mengecam wajah anak-anak pemilik nombor telefon.

    “Gambar profil WhatsApp bertujuan mungkin untuk mengenal pasti kawan-kawan cuma kita sarankan agar mereka meletakkan satu gambar yang elok untuk diri sendiri.

    “Kita jangan meletakkan gambar anak atau gambar orang lain kerana perkara ini boleh menyebabkan penjenayah dapat mengakses gambar tersebut sekali gus mencetuskan kejadian yang tidak diingini,” katanya.

    Encik Mohd Shazrol berkata demikian kepada Bernama selepas Sesi Perkongsian Maklumat Industri 2017 anjuran Forum Pengguna Komunikasi dan Multimedia Malaysia sempena Hari Hak-Hak Pengguna Sedunia di Ipoh semalam (22 Mac).

    Encik Mohd Shazrol berkata tidak menjadi masalah sekiranya orang ramai tidak meletakkan gambar profil pada WhatsApp kerana aplikasi tersebut tetap boleh digunakan.

    Terdahulu, dalam taklimatnya Encik Mohd Shazrol menasihati ibu bapa supaya tidak meletakkan gambar anak-anak mereka dalam laman sosial termasuk Facebook kerana ia juga boleh mengundang risiko jenayah.

    “Penggunaan Facebook amat berisiko kerana walaupun gambar dalam akaun sudah dipadam, namun ia masih tersimpan di luar negara kerana data laman sosial itu diproses di luar negara,” katanya.

  • Protect Yourselves – Here Are The Dos and Don’ts Of Riding Escalators

    Protect Yourselves – Here Are The Dos and Don’ts Of Riding Escalators

    A step in an escalator at White Sands Shopping Mall in Pasir Ris buckled on Saturday (Jan 21), just after a couple with a baby in a stroller stepped off.

    Fortunately, no one was injured.

    Escalator incidents have been in the spotlight recently, with the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) telling The Straits Times in a report on Jan 2 that it had received reports of 63 cases since Nov 1, 2016.

    Of these, 95 per cent of them were attributed to “user behaviour”.

    Escalator users commonly lose their balance while carrying heavy or bulky objects.

    Here are some dos and don’ts while taking an escalator, according to a BCA advisory.

    DO:

    1. Hold on to the handrail.

    2. Accompany young children on the escalator.

    3. Push the emergency button to stop the escalator for emergencies.

    4. Stand within the yellow lines marked out on the escalator steps.

    5. Use the lift instead if you are pushing a trolley, pram or luggage, or have limited mobility.

    DON’T:

    1. Stop or loiter at the landing area, as this obstructs other passengers.

    2. Be distracted by your mobile device, and do not drag or slide your feet off at the end of the escalator.

    3. Play or run on the escalator, or lean over the handrail.

    4. Stand near the sides of the escalator, as soft footwear may get stuck in the gaps.

    5. Stand at the edge of escalator steps, as this can cause a loss of balance.

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

    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.
