  • Insurance Company Not Helpful, Daughter Turned To Crowfunding, Raise $250,000 To Bring Comatose Father Back To Singapore

    Insurance Company Not Helpful, Daughter Turned To Crowfunding, Raise $250,000 To Bring Comatose Father Back To Singapore

    The Singaporean who suffered a cardiac arrest and lapsed into a coma in Tokyo just over a week ago is due to arrive in Singapore on Tuesday.

    The team from EMA Global, the medical assistance company appointed for the evacuation, left Singapore for Tokyo, a spokesman told The Straits Times on Monday (May 1).

    His 25-year-old daughter, Ms Eileen Cheong, had successfully raised $250,000 on fundraising platform Give.Asia to get her father home to Singapore.

    She wrote in her campaign that her family had flown to Tokyo on April 19 to celebrate her mother’s cancer remission when her father had a heart attack.

    He was resuscitated and admitted to the Intensive Care Unit at Toho University Omori Medical Center on the same day and placed on mechanical support.

    Japanese doctors told her family that they could not determine how long her father would stay in a coma.

    The family owed the hospital about $120,000, and it would cost at least another $120,000 to bring Mr Cheong home by medical evacuation, according to Miss Cheong.

    Ms Cheong wrote that her dad’s travel insurers MSIG informed her family that they were “unlikely to have a successful claim as his collapse was attributable to a pre-existing heart condition”.

    The 25-year-old, who is a fresh graduate earning less than $3,000 a month, turned to crowdfunding on Give.Asia to get her father home.

    In an update on Saturday evening, Ms Cheong said that all $250,000 had been raised.

    Ms Cheong had said in a campaign update on April 30 that her father was in a stable condition. She thanked all contributors and donors and promised to post an update on the situation soon.

    A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had told previously said that it was aware of the incident and that the Singapore Embassy in Tokyo was rendering the necessary consular assistance to the family.

  • Mengapa Seorang Mahasiswa Berusia 24 Tahun Jadi Security Guard?

    Mengapa Seorang Mahasiswa Berusia 24 Tahun Jadi Security Guard?

    Habil Shah, 24 tahun, sedang memburu ijazah di sebuah universiti swasta, dalam pengurusan sekitaran dan kesihatan pekerjaan serta keselamatan.

    Sejak April tahun lalu, beliau menyertai agensi keselamatan Certis CISCO sebagai pengawal keselamatan sambilan.

    Dari semasa ke semasa, Habil dikerahkan bertugas di acara-acara khas seperti konsert, pertunjukan dan beberapa tugasan keselamatan.

    “Saya suka kerja ini sebab kerja ini fleksibel dan saya dapat lihat ramai artis dalam konsert-konsert. Dan saya boleh dapat berjumpa kawan-kawan yang bekerja bersama saya dan saya menjadi seorang yang penyabar,” ujar beliau.

    Masa kerja fleksibel sebagai pegawai keselamatan sambilan memudahkan Habil mengurus masa, mengimbangi antara sekolah dengan pekerjaan.

    Certis CISCO menggajikan sekitar 500 pelajar pos-menengah seperti Habil, sebagai pengawal keselamatan sambilan.

    Mereka perlu menjalani latihan “mengawal orang ramai dan lalulintas” selama satu hingga dua minggu, sebelum boleh dikerah untuk menjalankan “tugasan mudah” yang tidak memerlukan penggunaan senjata api.

    Menurut Naib Presiden Certis CISCO Jason Tan, syarikat itu kekurangan tenaga kerja dan satu pilihan ialah untuk memanfaatkan golongan pelajar.

    Dari aspek keselamatan negara, setiap pelajar yang dilatih kata beliau bermakna seorang lagi yang dapat mengenal pasti ancaman pengganas.

    Firma kawalan keselamatan Aetos pula menggajikan sekitar 100 pelajar pos-menengah sebagai pengawal keselamatan dan pegawai polis bantuan sambilan.

    Para pegawai polis bantuan sambilan yang membawa senjata api perlu menjalani latihan sehingga 11 minggu.

    Syarikat Aetos berharap para pekerja sambilannya ini akan menjadi pekerja tetap, setelah tamat pengajian.

  • Cosplay In Hijab? No Problem

    Cosplay In Hijab? No Problem

    KUALA LUMPUR • Muslim women dressed as superheroes, princesses and mighty sword-wielding warriors took part in a hijab cosplay event over the weekend in Malaysia, where the role-playing craze continues to grow.

    About 20 women showcased their love for anime with elaborate make-up and costumes while still wearing the traditional hijab – the headscarf worn by many Muslim women in Malaysia – at the event in a mall on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur.

    Ms Nur Azlina, a 21-year-old university student, was decked out in a Power Rangers outfit.

    She said a hijab does not hinder her cosplay skills and that there were a lot of positive reactions.

    “Some people are sometimes surprised when they see my hijab… but it doesn’t bother me. My friends and family support me and I also get invited to attend birthday parties with my costume,” she added.

    Mr Raja Muhammad Rusydi, a 20-year-old cosplay enthusiast, hopes such events will generate more interest among hijab-wearing women to take part in cosplay activities.

    “I love cosplay and I get to make new friends here and in the international cosplay community. I support the women. If they love the character and have the passion, they should do it.”

    In cosplay, short for costume role-play, enthusiasts gather to imitate characters from anime series, comics and video games, many drawn from Japanese pop culture.

    The cosplay fad has swept much of the world and has been popular for more than two decades in Malaysia.

    But hijab cosplay has become popular only in the last few years in the South-east Asian nation and has generated much buzz among those in the cosplay scene.
