    Kes Bunuh Tanah Merah: Ahmad Muin Yaacob Didakwa Dengan Tuduhan Membunuh Maimunah Awang

    Seorang lelaki warga Malaysia berusia 23 tahun didakwa hari ini (21 Dis) atas pembunuhan Cik Maimunah Awang yang jenazahnya dijumpai di dalam sebuah longkang berdekatan Terminal Feri Tanah Merah.

    Mangsa yang berusia 54 tahun itu bekerja sebagai penyelia pekerja pembersihan di terminal feri berkenaan.

    Ahmad Muin Yaacob dituduh membunuh mangsa pada 24 November lalu.

    Pasukan polis Singapura menyatakan semalam bahawa Ahmad ditangkap di Malaysia pada Ahad lalu dengan bantuan polis Malaysia dan diserahkan kepada pihak berkuasa Singapura keesokan harinya.

    Dia tidak menunjukkan sebarang emosi semasa tuduhan terhadapnya dibacakan, tetapi sebaliknya menanyakan satu soalan kepada hakim: “Bolehkah saya diselamatkan daripada hukuman mati jika saya bekerjasama dengan pihak berkuasa?”

    Ahmad akan ditahan reman selama seminggu untuk disiasat dan akan dihadapkan ke mahkamah pada Rabu depan.

    Jika didapati bersalah, dia boleh dikenakan hukuman mati.

  • AYE Crash: Injured Widow May Have To Miss Husband’s Funeral

    AYE Crash: Injured Widow May Have To Miss Husband’s Funeral

    They were supposed to celebrate their ninth wedding anniversary next month in Bali.

    But her husband was killed in a horrific crash on the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) on Monday when a silver Mercedes slammed into their vehicle.

    Her parents said their daughter now might not be able to bid her final farewell at her husband’s funeral because she was badly injured in the tragedy.

    Madam Venny Oliver and her husband, Mr Liong Kuo Hwa, both 37, were in their Toyota Vios when the Mercedes which was travelling against the flow of traffic, hit their car.

    Mr Liong was killed while Madam Oliver suffered various injuries to her jaw, right shoulder and lower body.

    Yesterday, the police said a 53-year-old man had been charged with causing death by reckless or dangerous driving.

    The incident happened on the AYE before the underpass leading to the Tuas Checkpoint, and also involved a bus, another car and a motorcycle.

    Besides the couple, the Mercedes driver and a couple on the motorcycle were also hurt.

    Madam Oliver was rushed to National University Hospital (NUH) and underwent surgery.

    Yesterday, her mother told The New Paper at NUH that their daughter may not be able to give Mr Liong a proper farewell.

    Her mother, who is Indonesian, said in Bahasa Malay: “She may not see her husband for the last time.

    “The insides of her body hurt but we do not know if it is because of internal injuries.

    “There is also pain in her abdomen area and back. She will be undergoing surgery later on.”

    Madam Oliver injured her jaw, right shoulder and fractured her ribs.

    Mr Liong had to be extricated by the Singapore Civil Defence Force and was pronounced dead by paramedics at the scene.

    Madam Oliver’s father told TNP: “She (Madam Oliver) cries very badly when she thinks about what happened.”

    Shin Min Daily News reported yesterday that the couple were planning to celebrate their ninth wedding anniversary and Chinese New Year in Bali.

    Their anniversary date falls on Jan 27.

    Shin Min quoted Madam Oliver’s cousin, Darsa, 57, as saying: “They have been married for eight years and were extremely loving. He would always take her to work every day, rain or shine. And even if she ended work late, he would still bring her home.”

    Mr Liong, also known as Jackie, had acted in commercials and television programmes such as Sayang Sayang (2009), Code of Law (2012) and Point of Entry (2011).

    On his personal website, he identified himself as an actor, producer, singer and host.

  • Perbaiki Liga S Jika Ingin Lihat Pasukan Negara Lebih Hebat, Kata Shahril Ishak

    Perbaiki Liga S Jika Ingin Lihat Pasukan Negara Lebih Hebat, Kata Shahril Ishak

    Kegagalan pasukan bola sepak negara untuk melayakkan diri ke pusingan kalah mati Piala AFF Suzuki buat dua edisi berturut-turut menunjukkan bahawa era kegemilangan bola sepak negara sudah berlalu.

    Pasukan seperti Indonesia, Myanmar, dan juga Kemboja sudah dapat menyaingi pasukan Singa yang hanya setakat memperolehi satu mata dan satu jaringan gol.

    Kapten pasukan negara Shahril Ishak tidak terkejut dengan hakikat itu.

    Beliau yang berusia 32 tahun adalah salah seorang pemain paling berjaya dalam pasukan negara.

    Ini kerana beliau sudah menjulang Piala AFF sebanyak tiga kali dengan pasukan negara.

    Beliau berkata negara-negara yang dahulunya ketinggalan kini dapat memperbaiki prestasi mereka dengan memanfaatkan liga tempatan yang hebat.

    Shahril yang pernah bermain di liga Indonesia dan Malaysia berpendapat Singapura seharusnya mengikut jejak yang sama.

    Dengan memberi lebih banyak tumpuan kepada usaha memperbaiki mutu Liga.S, pasukan Singa mungkin dapat kembali ke zaman kegemilangannya.

    “Ia penting bagi kami untuk cuba menjadikan Liga.S lebih hebat dan menarik, kerana ia adalah cara terbaik untuk memperbaiki mutu para pemain di sini,” ujar beliau kepada TODAY.

    “Jika tidak, dengan bekalan pemain berbakat yang kecil, jurulatih negara akan menghadapi kesulitan untuk membariskan pasukan yang kuat bagi menyertai pertandingan, dan ini akan menjejas prestasi pasukan negara.”

  • Revive Our HDB Void Decks

    Revive Our HDB Void Decks

    I read “Make more use of our void decks” (The New Paper, Dec 19) from Yong Chang Jun with much interest.

    We used to see boys playing football barefoot at void decks after school. Elderly people used to play Chinese chess there too.

    Now these scenes are not so common. The problem is that the void decks are getting smaller and lack facilities for pastimes.

    I can also remember when void decks used to have more mama shops, selling daily necessities and sundries.

    Children would go to them to buy inexpensive sweets and cheap stationery.

    The older void decks had table tennis tables and vending machines. They served as gathering places and brought out the kampung spirit.

    Instead, today’s void decks have too many barriers and random railings.

    If we are to make the void decks more appealing, we will have to bring back the amenities such as concrete furniture, table tennis tables and vending machines.

    Without them, void decks are nothing more than empty spaces.

  • Hafiz Goes For Thai Audition

    Hafiz Goes For Thai Audition

    Hassan Sunny may be leaving the Thai Premier League (TPL) after his contract with Army United was cancelled, but Singapore may yet have a representative in Thai football when the 2017 season kicks off.

    Hafiz Abu Sujad left for Thailand yesterday for a week-long trial with two clubs – TPL side Sisaket FC and Big Bang Chula United (BBCU) who ply their trade in the Thai second tier.

    The 26-year-old has already committed his future to Tampines Rovers, but he left for Thailand with the blessings of the Stags.

    Tampines had also allowed Hassan to go for trials with Army United in January 2015, leaving the door open for him to return should he fail the audition.

    And they are giving Hafiz the same treatment.

    “As a club, we have historically always supported the 
professional advancement of our players,” said Tampines chairman Krishna Ramachandra.

    “So although we have just signed Hafiz for another year, this is an important break for him and we all hope he gets an offer.

    “I do not want to lose him for the 2017 season but, in the longer term, this would be great for his career. It will raise his game to the next level and, ultimately, this will be great for Singapore football.”

    A rule change in Thai football could work in Hafiz’s favour.

    Starting in 2017, Thai football authorities will introduce an Asean player slot for teams in its second-tier clubs, with the TPL adopting the change the following year.

    This means clubs will be able to sign three foreign players, an Asian player and now, an Asean player.

    Abdul Halim, the managing director of Offside Sports Management, helped arrange Hafiz’s trials with the two Thai clubs, and he is confident that the left-footed player can make an impression.

    “He was one of the most consistent performers in the S.League last season, and that has not gone unnoticed,” Halim told The New Paper.

    Hafiz was the only Singaporean in the list of nominees for the S.League’s Player of the Year award, alongside Atsushi Kawata from champions Albirex Niigata, Hougang United’s Fumiya Kogure and Home United’s Danish striker Ken Ilso.

    The award went to Kawata.

    Hafiz was hoping to put himself in the shop window at the recently concluded Asean Football Federation Suzuki Cup, but it did not go according to plan.

    Hafiz’s involvement lasted all of 34 minutes.

    As he turned to try to control a bouncing ball in Singapore’s opening fixture against the Philippines, Hafiz raised his left leg high and caught Phil Younghusband coming in from his blind side.

    He was given a straight red card and, with Singapore failing to survive the group stages, the midfielder did not see further action in the biennial tournament.

    Despite what will go down as a poor tournament for Hafiz, Halim remained hopeful that Sisaket and BBCU will be impressed once they take a closer look at him.

    “I’m confident that with Hafiz’s ability and experience, he can be an asset,” said Halim.”There are a few clubs who are looking for a player with his qualities.”
