  • Anggota Media Farid Khan ‘Diberikan Nasihat’ Kerana ‘Kesalahan Facebook’

    Anggota Media Farid Khan ‘Diberikan Nasihat’ Kerana ‘Kesalahan Facebook’

    Anggota pasukan media Encik Farid Khan, yang dikatakan secara tidak sengaja memuatnaikkan petisyen di laman Facebook milik peribadi Encik Farid Khan, sudah diberikan kaunseling.

    Petisyen itu meminta pemimpin de facto Myanmar Aung San Suu Kyi untuk dibicarakan tentang pelanggaran hak asasi manusia terhadap Rohingya.

    Cik Suu Kyi berada di bawah tekanan negara-negara yang mempunyai penduduk Islam yang besar untuk menghentikan kekerasan terhadap minoriti Muslim Myanmar.

    Laman All Singapore Stuff pada Selasa (5 September) memuatnaik sebuah artikel yang menyebut bahawa Encik Farid “memberi sokongannya kepada” petisyen tersebut. Artikel tersebut mengandungi sekeping gambar yang kelihatan seperti pautan bagi petisyen tersebut di laman Facebook milik peribadi Encik Farid.

    “Kami sudah mengeluarkan kenyataan berkaitan dengan isu tersebut dan sudah menasihati kakitangan terbabit, ” kata Encik Borhan Saini, pengurus kempen Encik Farid.

    “Kami juga meminta pasukan media kami untuk lebih berhati-hati. Kami menganggap isu sudah ditangani dengan secukupnya dan kini isu ini sudah ditutup.”

    Dalam satu kenyataan di halaman Facebook rasminya, Encik Farid menolak laporan All Singapore Stuff sebagai “langsung tidak benar”. Beliau berkata pautan itu secara tidak sengaja disiarkan oleh seorang anggota pasukan medianya yang menguruskan laman Facebook peribadinya. “Ini berlaku akibat menggunakan alat layar sentuh,” katanya.

    Encik Farid menambah bahawa beliau sudah menutup laman Facebooknya sendiri untuk mengelakkan peristiwa itu daripada berlaku.

    Menganggap keputusan untuk menutup halaman itu sebagai “langkah berjaga-jaga”, Encik Borhan berkata beliau merancang untuk meminta All Singapore Stuff untuk menurunkan laporannya.

  • Presidential Hopeful Farid Khan Supports Taking ASSK To Court Over Ethnic Cleansing In Rohingya

    Presidential Hopeful Farid Khan Supports Taking ASSK To Court Over Ethnic Cleansing In Rohingya

    Presidential candidate Faird Khan has thrown his weight behind a petition calling on the European Court of Human Rights to try Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi for human rights violations over the “ethnic cleansing” taking place against the Rohingya community in her country.

    Farid Khan’s personal Facebook page shared a link to a Change.org petition 3 hours ago which reads: “Take Aung San Suu Kyi to European court of human rights over ethnic cleansing in Rohingya.”

    The petition reads:

    We have had a storm of footages and reports being validateded through the media, governments, and the united nation’s inspectors such as the ex UN president Kofi Annan, current UN investigators, Theresa May, Jeremy Corbyn, BBC, Times, etc and the alike have all confirmed that the Mayanmarian government have and are persecuting and ethic cleansing the minority rohingya (Rakhine State) community and its people.

    This has to Stop!This torture is done only due to the minoritie’s faith and the particularly religion practised (Islam) which the army and the government deems it foreign to the state’s religion which is Buddhism. The Buddhist themselves such as monks are taking arms and destroying innocent beings and villages.

    Young children, women and men, the old and the disabled are all being tortured, set on fire, raped, murdered and their houses burned.

    We as the humankind have to take action and take the head of the mayanmar state Aung San Suu Kyi and the armed forces’ commander-in-chief, Ming Aung Hlaing to the International court (The Hague) I.C.J or to The European Court of Human Rights so both of them can answer to their hate crimes.The current leaders are silent but little remarks made. Last year Theresa May invited the head of Mayanmar to Downing Street for a discussion and to join her for an afternoon tea.

    This is absurd.Please bring justice back in this world and with your help we can achieve sending this message of support and expression of unity to those leaders that have no mercy. So it may change their conception. Please help us raise the fees for Human Rights Lawyers, court fees etc

  • Singaporeans Petition For 2017 Elections To Be Open For All Races

    Singaporeans Petition For 2017 Elections To Be Open For All Races

    I’m a true blue Singaporean & am thankful to be born here. Singapore is where it is today due to Good Leadership, Hardworking Singaporeans & most importantly Unity amongst the various races.

    So, I was a bit surprised when the Government designated the 2017 Presidential Election to be a Reserve Election for the Malays only. Although the Government’s intention is noble to ensure multi-racialism enshrined in the Elected Presidency, many Singaporeans I’ve known are not in favour of it. The Head of State should be a unifying figure commanding the respect of all Singaporeans. This could only be done through free and unregulated elections. Too many requirements should not be imposed thereby limiting the aspirations of Ordinary Singaporeans that one day they could be Presidents as well.

    My humble request to the Government is to make the 2017 Presidential Election an open one for all races. Give the choice to Singaporeans to decide who they want their President to be & who will make Singapore Proud.

    Majulah Singapura.

  • Law Minister Acknowledges ‘Public Disquiet’ Over Joshua Robinson Sentence

    Law Minister Acknowledges ‘Public Disquiet’ Over Joshua Robinson Sentence

    Minister for Law and Home Affairs K Shanmugam said on Monday (Mar 6) that he understands there is “public disquiet” over the four-year sentence for an MMA instructor who sexually assaulted two teenage girls. “People are naturally upset. Parents in particular,” he said on the sidelines of a fundraising event.

    However, Mr Shanmugam said it is not an appropriate time for him to comment on the case against Joshua Robinson because the matter is not concluded and the time for appeal has not ended.

    “The decisions on which charges to proceed is a matter within AGC’s (Attorney-General’s Chambers) discretion. AGC makes the decisions based on precedents, and what kind of sentence is meted out depends on previous cases.”

    “Having said that, my understanding is that AGC is looking into this,” he added.

    Robinson was sentenced to four years’ jail on Mar 2 for sexually assaulting two teenage girls and filming the assaults for his own “perverse pleasure”. Police officers had seized 5,902 obscene films, including 321 films of child pornography when they raided his apartment. The haul is believed to be the largest collection of pornography seized from an individual in Singapore.

    In July 2015, a month after he was arrested and released on bail, Robinson showed a six-year-old girl an explicit video of his girlfriend performing a sexual act on him, while the girl’s father was busy training a short distance away.

    On Sunday, an online petition calling for a harsher sentence for Robinson was posted on change.org.

    Parent and early childhood educator Sarah Woon, who started the petition, said she found the four-year sentence “unacceptable and absolutely intolerable”. As of Monday evening, the petition has collected more than 9,300 signatures.
