  • Singaporeans Silently Resent Malaysians Living In Singapore

    Singaporeans Silently Resent Malaysians Living In Singapore

    When Singaporeans complain about foreigners, they are particularly referring to people from their neighbour country “Malaysia”. They need to use subtle way to complain to the  Government.

    Most Singaporeans are afraid to discriminate and complain against Malaysians because Singapore is small and solely depending on Malaysia for many things and their survival.

    Singapore and Malaysia are just across the border and people from Malaysia can come into to Singapore at anytime to get jobs easily because they can speak Chinese, English and Malay which are the 3 main national languages in Singapore. Especially, when the people from nearby Malaysia border area can just spend 5 to 10 minutes on the bus to get into Singapore.

    Addition to that people from Malaysia can acquire permanent resident and citizenship easily. After they receive the residency or citizenship status, they can get access to education, housing, healthcare and etc from another side of the fence.

    One of the good examples will be – after being granted resident or citizenship status, they will buy the HDB  house to rent it out.

    Then, they travel back and forth to go to work in Singapore daily because housing and living cost at Malaysia border is a lot cheaper than Singapore due to the strong Singapore currency.

    Singaporeans are so angry about their neighbour country exploiting them but on the other hands they can’t reject them directly.

    If you go and ask them, they will say it is not true for sure because they don’t want to sour the relationship with their neighbour  for survival sake.

    They will always say, “we are brothers and good neighbours”.

    Editor’s note: This article is retrieved from a comment posted and it reflected the true sentiment of many Singaporeans here due to the historical and cultural similarities between the two neigbhouring countries. It is estimated that more than 300,000 Malaysians are working and residing here with as many as 150,000 living as permanent residents. Many remain as permanent residents after more than 20 years refusing to convert to Singapore citizens.

    Many thousands  commute daily between the two countries via the Johore Bahru checkpoint due mainly to our strong currency difference and professional work culture.

    Many companies also prefer to hire Malaysians due to their strong work ethics and survival instinct. Many took on significant positions within the companies and become a important pillar in the work hierarchy.

  • Riders Aid Singapore – Raising Funds For Tabung Amal Aidilfitri Regardless Of Religion

    Riders Aid Singapore – Raising Funds For Tabung Amal Aidilfitri Regardless Of Religion

    I like this event very much. Ambassador Swajaya, friends from Indonesian Embassy and I joined motorcyle riders and lorry/van drivers for a Hari Raya Charity Ride in aid of Tabung Amal Aidilftri Trust Fund (TAA).

    First, it shows that all of us, no matter our background, can do our part for charity. As Mother Theresa said it’s not about how much we give, but how much love we put to giving.

    Second, when we gathered at the Indonesian Embassy after our ride, Indonesia’s state emblem, the Garuda, caught my eye.

    Riders Aid 1

    It has an inscription – Indonesia’s national motto ‘Bhineka Tunggal Ika’ which means ‘Unity in Diversity.’ The motto reflects what I saw at the charity ride which saw riders from different races and religions, united and inspired by a good cause.

    The Goldwing ride was awesome. But the satisfaction of knowing that disadvantaged families can celebrate Hari Raya with dignity through funds raised for TAA – that’s priceless!

    Riders Aid 2

    Thanks for the ride, Riders Aid Singapore! Let’s continue the giving journey, riders!

  • Boyfriend Of Women Killed In Accident Near Jurong West Ramadan Bazaar Wanted To Punch Driver

    Boyfriend Of Women Killed In Accident Near Jurong West Ramadan Bazaar Wanted To Punch Driver

    The loud crash startled him, as it did the other stallholders and customers at the Ramadan bazaar.

    Mr Mohamad Sophian, 24, who operates a Ramly burger stall, rushed out to see what had happened.

    A crowd had gathered, and although he saw his girlfriend’s wallet on the road, it did not register that something might have happened to her.

    It was only when Mr Sophian got closer to the crowd that the horrible truth hit him: A woman was lying in a pool of blood after being hit by a car, and that woman was his girlfriend.

    The accident happened at about 8.30pm last Tuesday. Ms Siti Nurfadariiyah Rosdi, 21, was crossing the road at the junction between Jurong West Avenue 1 and Jurong West Street 41 when a car hit her.

    Witnesses said she was flung to the other side of the road and landed head first.

    A stall owner’s niece, Nur Fatin Farisha, 15, told The New Paper that the crash was so loud it shocked almost everyone at the bazaar.

    She said: “Some of the stalls were already closed by then. Almost all the stallholders ran out of the bazaar and started to form a crowd around her.

    “She was near the central road divider when the car hit her.”

    Miss Siti suffered multiple injuries and died on the way to the hospital.

    The driver, a 41-year-old man, was arrested by the police.

    Miss Siti had been on her way to her boyfriend’s stall when she was hit. The student at a private college had been helping her boyfriend’s family at the bazaar every year for the past five years.

    Mr Sophian told TNP: “The last thing she said to me was ‘I’ll come back soon’.

    “I didn’t expect that was the last time I was going to see her. When I saw her lying in the pool of blood, I almost collapsed.”

    He felt her faint pulse for the mere seconds he got to cradle her.

    “I was sad and then I got angry. I wanted so much to punch the driver in the face,” said Mr Sophian.

    He was restrained by the other stall owners. When TNP visited the stall last Friday, it was closed.

    Mr Sophian left small bouquets of flowers on the food case of the burger stall, the road divider where Miss Siti was hit and the tree near the spot where she landed.

    “Throughout the five years I was with her, she frequently told me that I never buy her flowers,” Mr Sophian said.

    “Now that she’s gone, this is all I can do for her.”

    The police said they were alerted to the accident at 9.07pm. Investigations are ongoing.

    Miss Siti was taken unconscious to Ng Teng Fong General Hospital, said the Singapore Civil Defence Force.

    Miss Siti’s brother, Mr Muhammad Fadiq Rosdi, 27, was also shocked by the news of her death.

    The container handling specialist was on his way to meet his friends when he received a call from his younger brother.

    “He was sobbing on the phone and kept repeating ‘she is gone’. I didn’t want to believe it until I saw her body (at the scene) with my own eyes,” he told TNP last Friday.

    When he arrived, Mr Fadiq saw the driver crouching at the side of the road.

    “When the Traffic Police introduced me as the deceased’s brother, he just stood up and walked away,” he said.

    “I couldn’t bring myself to look him in the eye. I just felt angry every time I looked in his direction,” he said.

    The fourth of six children said his family is still trying to cope with the loss of Miss Siti.

    “My mother, especially, is still grieving. Both of them were very close, they did a lot of things together,” said Mr Fadiq.

    DONATION

    A fellow stall owner, Mr Afyque Salleh, 25, was about to close his hair products stall when he saw the accident.

    He started collecting donations yesterday to help Miss Siti’s family.

    The airport emergency officer took to Facebook to urge members of the public to contribute.

    “I lost my brother to a car accident four years ago so I know how it feels to lose a loved one,” he said.

    “Since her boyfriend’s family owns the stall just behind mine, she’s a familiar sight at the bazaar. I just wanted to do my part to help.”

    For every hair product he sells, he will donate $2 to Miss Siti’s family. As of last night, he had already raised about $600.

    Mr Afyque said he will collect donations until the bazaar ends on July 3. Mr Fadiq thanked him for his generosity and urged members of the public who witnessed the accident to come forward.

    “I hope we can get justice for her,” said Mr Fadiq.

    My mother, especially, is still grieving. Both of them were very close, they did a lot of things together.

  • MDA To Take Action Over Same-Sex Kiss In Les Miserables

    MDA To Take Action Over Same-Sex Kiss In Les Miserables

    A kissing scene between two male actors has been removed from the musical Les Miserables after complaints from members of the public.

    In a statement to The New Paper today (June 11), a spokesman for the Media Development Authority (MDA) confirmed that action will be taken against the production for the breach of licensing conditions.

    The spokesman said: “The inclusion of the same-sex kiss was not highlighted in the script when it was submitted to MDA for classification.

    The performance was thus given a ‘General’ rating.

    Upon receiving feedback from members of the public, MDA reviewed the performance and confirmed that the scene was present.

    MDA advised the applicant that the inclusion of this particular scene meant that the performance had exceeded the ‘General’ rating issued.

    Under our classification code, such a scene would fall under an ‘Advisory’ rating.

    The applicant decided to remove the scene so as to keep the ‘General’ rating for the rest of its run.

    MDA will take action against this breach of licensing conditions
