    Atan Flybaits: MP Melayu PAP Pak Turut, Takut Mengetengahkan Isu-Isu Melayu

    Kita sering menyangka bahawa calun calun PAP terdiri dari orang orang yg berkaliber tapi itu tak betul

    Di pertemuan yg di anjurkan oleh encik Faisal Manap tidak lama dulu iaitu pertemuan dgn aktivis Melayu, Encik Faisal memberitahu kami satu ketika beliau cuba membangkit kan isu isu Melayu di parlimen.

    MP Melayu PAP telah menerang beliau dgn kata kata ‘ are you trying to politicised malay issues ‘, jadi agak sulit untuk beliau bersuara

    Di sini kita lihat kebodohan MP MP Melayu PAP – parlimen adalah the hse of politik kalau ahli politik tak boleh mempolitik kan isu di dalam hse of politik maka di mana kah mereka nak berbicara tentang politik ?

    Secara logic kita lihat kebodohan MP MP melayu PAP sangat jelas atau PAP sengaja memilih mereka kerena kebodohan mereka yang boleh di jadi kan ‘Yes man’

  • Making Hijab Part Of Victoria Police Uniform

    Making Hijab Part Of Victoria Police Uniform

    Constable Maha Sukkar yesterday became the first Victoria Police officer to wear a traditional Muslim hijab as part of her uniform.

    The 30-year-old former graphic designer was supported by her parents, who flew in from her native Beirut for her graduation ceremony, and friends from the Muslim community.

    “At first we were worried by how people would respond but we really admired her courage and she has been an inspiration to us,” said her best friend, Aiesha Hussain, at the ceremony.

    The navy, lightweight hijab, specifically designed for Constable Sukkar, has Velcro to enable its release should she get caught in a physical scuffle.

    Constable Sukkar, of Dandenong, said it had been her dream to join Victoria Police since she arrived in Australia from Lebanon four years ago. She said she did not expect the traditional Muslim headpiece would attract any unwanted attention, but if it did she would handle it “just like any other police officer”.

    Chief Commissioner Christine Nixon said Victoria Police wanted to attract more women and more recruits from culturally diverse backgrounds that reflected the community.

    “I think this is Victoria Police showing that we are very welcoming of people from a whole range of backgrounds and nationalities who want to join us,” she said.

    At yesterday’s marching out ceremony at Victoria Police Academy in Glen Waverley, 46 graduates were sworn in.

    Police Minister Andre Haermeyer warned they were entering the force at a time when it faced intense criticism and scrutiny, and a mounting battle against organised crime.

  • Meet Minnesota’s First Hijab-Wearing Policewoman

    Meet Minnesota’s First Hijab-Wearing Policewoman

    Have you ever heard of Kadra Mohamed? Well you should have.

    She’s Minnesota’s first hijab wearing police woman and the first Somali female officer.

    Kadra Mohamed is only 21 years old and already making history.

    St. Paul is also one of the few American police departments that allows women to wear the hijab while working. This way, they hope to enable Muslim women to consider a career in law enforcement.

    This topic always raises the same questions. Why is it that Muslim women wearing hijab have to fight all kinds of stereotypes to have a career? There are millions of Muslim women like Kadra Mohamed, who want to achieve their goals. And it’s not their hijab that is holding them back. It’s those people with narrow-minded views, refusing to see what kind of talents these women might brighten up the world with.

    Let’s hope Kadra Mohamed will not stay an exception forever!

  • The Singapore Girl: From An Experiment To An Icon

    The Singapore Girl: From An Experiment To An Icon

    Singapore’s national carrier was established in 1972 following a division of its predecessor, Malaysia-Singapore Airlines (MSA) into two national carriers – Malaysian Airline System (now Malaysia Airlines) and Singapore Airlines (SIA).

    In the early years, Singapore was a small player in the international airline market as it had no domestic market to fall back on. To stand out, SIA created a marketing concept that focused on its inflight services to introduce the new airline to the rest of the world.

     

    THE POWER OF AN ICON

    Dressed in her distinct sarong kebaya created by renowned French designer Pierre Balmain in 1968, the Singapore Girl was created as the symbol of SIA’s inflight services. Using real stewardesses as the centerpiece of their campaigns, the Singapore Girl has appeared in SIA’s advertising efforts for over 40 years.

    The Singapore Girl has been used in advertisements for over 40 years.

    While other airlines focused on their hardware and technical features, SIA took the soft approach. “SIA girls have been known to be graceful, charming and caring on board. Our passengers can also identify with them because these are the very girls who serve them on board,” said Lily Chan, former advertising and promotions manager of SIA.

    The Singapore Girl represents SIA’s inflight services.  

    “We wanted to preserve the genuine warmth and charm of the girls,” added Ian Batey, founder of Batey Ads, the agency that conceptualised the Singapore Girl. “What you experience on the screen, hopefully you would experience on the plane.”

    The use of the Singapore Girl as the image of SIA was not without its skeptics. “When we went to Europe with the Singapore Girl campaign, they bombed our campaign saying that it wasn’t going to get us anywhere,” said Mr Batey. Mdm Chan added that some of the comments she received were that “the advertisements were too abstract to fathom.”

    The Singapore Girl is seen as a traveller of the world.

    However, SIA proved their critics wrong through the consistency of its Singapore Girl branding. The iconic image has become synonymous with what SIA has to offer. “What has been ever present has always been the Singapore Girl, and she again has embodied the softer aspects of our service, which ultimately to us is a major difference maker,” said Mervin Tan, Senior Vice President of SIA’s Cabin Crew Division.

    10 Anak Melayu/Islam Dapat Kepujian Kelas Pertama Dari NTU Tahun Ini

    Sekitar 10 anak Melayu/Islam dari Universiti Teknologi Nanyang (NTU) menerima ijazah Sarjana Muda dengan Kepujian Kelas Pertama tahun ini. Demikian didedahkan NTU hari ini.

    Empat daripada mereka yang ditemui BERITAMediaCorp, memperoleh ijazah Kepujian Kelas Pertama dalam jurusan kejuruteraan, sosiologi dan psikologi.

    Ini kali pertama sepasang adik beradik Melayu menerima ijazah Kepujian Kelas Pertama dalam tahun yang sama, dan sesuatu yang jarang sekali didengar.

    Kedua-dua beradik itu mendapat ijazah masing-masing dalam majlis konvokesyen NTU siang tadi.

    Semasa diwawancara BERITAMediaCorp, para pelajar cemerlang itu berkata, sokongan padu dari pihak keluarga merupakan tunggak di sebalik kejayaan mereka.

    Nurul Dina Amalina, 25 tahun, yang menerima ijazah Kepujian Kelas Pertama dalam bidang Sosiologi berkata: “Sumber inspirasi utama adalah ibu bapa saya. Ayah adalah seorang yang gigih berusaha dan tidak senang berputus asa. Ibu pula selalu bersikap positif apabila beliau berdepan dengan cabaran dalam kehidupan.”

    Bagi adiknya Nurul Mira Fatin yang berusia 22 tahun pula, beliau menerima ijazah Kepujian Kelas Pertama dalam jurusan Psikologi.

    Beliau berkata: “Bidang psikologi ini telah mendorong saya untuk mencari peluang yang membolehkan saya mendekati masyarakat. Baru-baru ini, saya baru pulang dari China, di mana saya (menjadi) sukarelawan. Di situ, saya tolong mengajar kanak-kanak bahasa Inggeris dan bantu mengecat sekolah mereka.”

    KEPUJIAN KELAS PERTAMA KEJURUTERAAN KOMPUTER

    Seorang lagi anak Melayu yang menerima ijazah Kepujian Kelas Pertama, ialah Muhd Nadzir Azmi, 26 tahun. Muhd Nadzir mendapat ijazah Kepujian Kelas Pertama dalam bidang Kejuruteraan Komputer.

    NTU menyifatkan pelajar bijak itu sebagai seorang individu yang dapat menghuraikan masalah secara kreatif. Muhd Nadzir mencipta sebuah projek yang diberi nama ‘Virtual Piano’ semasa menjalani tahun terakhirnya di NTU.

    Beliau menjelaskan: “Projek akhir tahun saya ialah menghasilkan sebuah ‘virtual piano’ (piano maya) dengan menggunakan sekeping kertas dan telefon bimbit. Ia memberikan satu alternatif untuk memain piano dengan lebih innovatif lagi. Saya rasa bidang ini, bukan sahaja diperlukan di syarikat-syarikat permainan, sofwe tetapi amat penting bagi sektor awam juga.”

    Sebenarnya, beliau pernah gagal untuk memasuki maktab rendah selepas peperiksaan GCE ‘O’.

    Namun dengan semangat yang berkobar-kobar, anak kepada seorang pemandu teksi dan suri rumah dari keluarga 3 beradik ini, tetap meneruskan pengajian GCE ‘A’ di pusat Pra-U hingga dapat ke menara gading.

    Beliau kini sudah pun mendapat pekerjaan sebagai konsultan aplikasi dengan CPF.

    KEPUJIAN KELAS PERTAMA KEJURUTERAAN ELEKTRIKAL & ELEKTRONIK

    Bagi Muhd Jazli Jumain pula, beliau boleh berbangga dianugerahkan ijazah Kepujian Kelas Pertama, dalam jurusan Kejuruteraan Elektrikal dan Elektronik.

    Beliau yang memasuki NTU selepas lulus dari politeknik, bagaimanapun mengecap kecemerlangan menerusi laluan yang lebih mencabar. Beliau berasal dari keluarga ibu tunggal.

    Muhd Jazli berkongsi dengan BERITAMediaCorp, beliau menanamkan iltizam pada hari pertama beliau menjejakkan kakinya di NTU.

    “Sejak hari pertama, saya ingin buat yang terbaik dalam pelajaran saya. Selain itu, saya juga lihat ibu saya yang mengalami kesukaran untuk bekerja. Jadi saya ingin membantunya apabila dia bersara nanti,” jelas Muhd Jazli lagi dengan penuh semangat.

    Yang pasti, bagi kempat-empat anak muda yang cemerlang itu, mereka berbekalkan sikap disiplin tanpa mudah berputus asa sebagai antara resipi kejayaan mereka.

    PROSPEK PEKERJAAN BAGI GRADUAN NTU

    Dalam pada itu, NTU menyatakan 7 daripada 10 pelajarnya yang tamat pengajian tahun ini, sudahpun mendapat pekerjaan sebelum mereka menerima ijazah masing-masing.

    Demikian menurut tinjauan awal yang dijalankan NTU awal bulan ini.

    5,000 pelajar ditinjau mengenai prospek pekerjaan mereka dan 70% menyatakan, mereka sudahpun mendapat kerja.

    Perangkaan tersebut lebih tinggi berbanding perangkaan 66% yang dicatatkan tahun lalu bagi tinjauan serupa.
