  • Wanita Biasa Beri Sumbangan Luar Biasa

    Wanita Biasa Beri Sumbangan Luar Biasa

    Dalam mengimbangi peranan mereka yang pelbagai, kaum wanita hari ini masih mampu membuat sumbangan bukan sahaja kepada keluarga, bahkan kepada masyarakat.

    Sebagai menghargai usaha wanita yang tidak pernah lelah berbakti meskipun ada kalanya dihimpit masalah peribadi sendiri, Speaker Parlimen Halimah Yaacob telah menyampaikan empat Anugerah Wanita Paling Cemerlang, di Kelab Masyarakat Marsiling semalam.

    Anugerah yang diperkenalkan buat kali pertama atas saranan Cik Halimah sendiri itu bertujuan mengiktiraf wanita biasa yang memberi sumbangan luar biasa kepada masyarakat di kawasan Marsiling.

    Cik Halimah, yang juga Anggota Parlimen (AP) Marsiling-Yew Tee, menyampaikan anugerah itu dalam satu majlis bagi meraikan Hari Wanita Antarabangsa anjuran Kumpulan Wanita Marsiling.

    Menurutnya, anugerah tersebut amat bertepatan kerana penerima boleh dijadikan contoh baik kepada masyarakat agar sama-sama terdorong untuk berbakti.

    “Melihat keikhlasan, kesungguhan dan komitmen penerima, saya harap ia akan menjadi pembakar semangat kepada yang lain untuk menyumbang kepada masyarakat,” ujarnya.

    Menyentuh tentang usia penerimanya yang rata-ratanya melebihi usia 60 tahun, Cik Halimah berharap ia dapat memberi motivasi kepada golongan muda untuk berbakti.

    Antara penerima termasuk ibu tunggal Cik Jainah Awang, 67 tahun, yang sering memasak untuk penduduk yang tinggal di Blok 3 dan 4 Marsiling Road.

    Setiap Jumaat, beliau dan beberapa sukarelawan lain akan menyediakan makanan seperti lontong dan nasi lemak di kolong Blok 4 Marsiling sebelum mengagihkannya kepada penduduk memerlukan, termasuk warga senja yang tinggal bersendirian.

    “Saya terharu dipilih bagi anugerah ini. Saya bersyukur kerana selepas melibatkan diri dalam kerja sukarela ini, hidup saya lebih tenang.

    “Saya tidak lagi merenung mengenang nasib, sebaliknya berasa gembira dapat membantu warga senja pelbagai bangsa dan latar belakang,” ujarnya yang turut menjaga anak bongsunya, 37 tahun seorang anak istimewa.

    Selain Cik Jainah, pemenang lain termasuk Cik Hajira Bee Idroos; 62 tahun, Cik Tng Noi Kee; 76 tahun dan Cik Chong Kiaw; 79 tahun.

    Sementara itu, Cik Halimah juga mengongsi bahawa pihaknya sedang meninjau cara untuk membantu golongan ibu tunggal di kawasan Marsiling.

    Ini termasuk memadankan mereka dengan kursus yang sesuai selain meletakkan anak mereka dalam program tuisyen percuma.

    “Cabaran sebagai ibu tunggal memang pelbagai. Selain masalah kewangan dan membesarkan anak seorang diri, golongan ini juga memerlukan rangkaian sokongan yang kukuh,” ujarnya lagi.

  • Open Letter To SingTel Group CEO: Stop Colluding With VIPGames To Cheat Unwitting Customers

    Open Letter To SingTel Group CEO: Stop Colluding With VIPGames To Cheat Unwitting Customers

    Open letter to SingTel Group CEO

    06 Mar 2016

    Madam Chua Sock Koong
    Group CEO of SingTel

    It pains me to bring to your attention that SingTel has become an accomplice with one of its third party partners in a scheme to dupe subscribers into signing up for video games.

    I happen to be one of its unwitting victims. I shudder to think of the thousands of other unwary subscribers who have been lured, trapped and then hooked to such mindless games (See attachments)

    The culprit in question is VIPGames. As I see it, its modus operandi is to send innocuous-looking SMS to SingTel subscribers. If anyone opens it unwittingly, as I must have done, it automatically assumes that the respondent wants to subscribe to its games. This is both an unethical and illegal sales tactic.

    It then informs SingTel to collect the fees on its behalf. Of course, SingTel will only be too happy to do so, as it will keep a substantial portion as its commission, before handing over the balance to the said third party.

    By agreeing to act in concert, SingTel cannot absolve itself of any blame. It is like a gangster collecting protection money on behalf of the mafia.

    It does not matter that a subscriber can cancel the subscription that he did not in the first place want by simply calling up the SingTel complaint line. The point is that subscribers should not be subjected to such gangster-like harassments.

    Madam, do you realise that more and more Singaporeans, especially the young are becoming addicted to such games? If not checked now, it can become a serious national problem later on.

    What is the point of earning a few more dollars through such dubious means? Why help a business partner to undermine the moral fabric of our society for such petty gains?

    As one of Singapore prominent corporations, surely you will agree that SingTel should give top priority to protecting its image. Surely SingTel would also want to contribute towards strengthening the work ethics of the young?

    Surely SingTel should choose its business partners with care and avoid those with a propensity to cheat and deceive.

    I hope you will use your good office to put a stop to such immoral business tactics.

    Regards

    Ismail Kassim

  • Singaporeans Honked, Foreign Workers Helped Push Aside Broken Down Car

    Singaporeans Honked, Foreign Workers Helped Push Aside Broken Down Car

    From out of nowhere and without hesitation, a bunch of workers sprinted over to help Jon push aside a car that had broken down in front of us.

    A good 10 cars piled up behind us and not a single person came to help, but instead honked at us.

    So quit this xenophobia rubbish about transient workers because they deserve so much more credit.

    Thanks, you guys.

  • A Message For My Son, Benjamin Lim: I Love You And Believe You Are Not A Molester

    A Message For My Son, Benjamin Lim: I Love You And Believe You Are Not A Molester

    Ah Hui, is everything alright at your end? What are you doing now? Did you receive those latest gadgets we sent to you? There are those games that you wanted so much but we didn’t buy for you because they were so expensive… and the computer that you have been asking for… are they useful to you at wherever you are now?

    Don’t worry about us, everyone in the family is alright. We miss you a lot… if you are able to read this message, do come into our dreams and let us know that you are alright too…

    And ya, before I forget, the Ministers are saying that you molested a girl? They are saying you followed the girl to her block and went into the lift with her, and molested her? Now it rings a bell… I recalled you said there was this girl staying at neighboring block, you like her and that she is cute… Is she the one? You couldn’t have molest her, we do not believe you will do such thing. The Ministers said there is CCTV recording in the lift… perhaps this CCTV recording can eventually help to clear your name. Daddy will seek justice for you. Let’s us wait patiently for the CI, let us not speculate further…

    People wrote to us, saying very nasty things about you… saying that you are a molester because the Minister mentioned in Parliament that you probably will receive nothing more than a warning. People jumped into conclusion that you are guilty… that you are now guilty of a crime that you may not even have committed! But Ah Hui, daddy has taught you to be a reasonable person. What is right, we fight for it. What is wrong, we admit it. Do not point fingers at anyone for now, let the investigation be completed and let the judge do his findings. All you need to know now is, we believe in you and we love you!
