    Dzar Ismail: Jangan Rosakkan Lagi Nama Baik Budak-Budak CD, Hantar Culprits Gi Nepal

    Pikirkanlah blood brother korang yg bertungkus lumus bantu mangsa gempa kat Nepal. Jangan sebab segelintir, sebar video rosakkan harta bende, semua nama jadi busuk. Aku pun dulu SCDF jugak.

    Dulu-dulu pakcik-pakcik pandang hina kat aku beb. Nak tackle anak dia, tanya army ker SCDF. Bila sebut SCDF, dia pandang atas bawah.

    Last bila jumpa masa jemputan, cakap dia selalu dengar aku, dan berkenan sangat dengan aku. Well its too late pakcik, sapa suro ko pandang hina kat SCDF! Tapi mungkin selepas hari nih, dia akan senyum! Dia akan cakap, “Aku dah cakap dah!” Aku tau dia tengah senyum! Aku tampar kang. Jadi, hargailah mereka yg mengharumkan nama SCDF. Jangan amek sambil lewa, bila pakai uniform, sebab yg lain, yg tak bersalah, semua akan terbabit.

    Dan kepada SCDF, janganlah sampai buang mereka, tapi, hantarlah mereka ke Nepal, baru mereka tau hargai kehidupan susah, cari mangsa pakai tangan, angkat batu bata, jadi rescuer, jadi medic, baru tahu menilai erti pakai uniform biru tuh.

    Nih dah lemak sangat nih.

  • Policeman Fine $4000 For Illegally Accessing Police Computer System To Check On Mistress

    Policeman Fine $4000 For Illegally Accessing Police Computer System To Check On Mistress

    A married cop who illegally accessed the police computer system to check on a woman he had been having an affair with was fined $4,000 on Tuesday.

    Senior station inspector Rick Goh Fu Yuan, 39, had wanted to lodge a police report against 28-year-old Joice Rosiana as he had suspected her of making nuisance calls to his wife.

    He carried out an unauthorised search using the Frontline Officers’ Computerised System (Focus) by keying in her identity card number in the search field on Nov 11, 2011.

    The system enables authorised officers to lodge police reports and carry out searches on reports filed by members of the public.

    Goh, who was deployed as a court officer, pleaded guilty to one of three charges of computer misuse at Central Police Division headquarters.

    Goh’s lawyer Michael Chia said in mitigation that his client had Ms Joice’s details as she had been a very close friend for some time. He wanted to make sure the information he had was accurate before he lodged a report against her.

    He said the officer of 18 years is likely to face further disciplinary proceedings and lose his career in the SPF.

    Mr Chia added: “He actually had a bright future ahead of him and he would have had the opportunity to serve the nation had this one foolish act not occurred. Of course, he should have known better.”

    Goh got to know Ms Joice, an assistant admin executive, when he was studying at the Singapore Institute of Management University in 2010.

    Mr Chia said that by June 2011, he had begun to distance himself from her as he felt their relationship was developing into an improper association as he was still married at the time.

    He said his client committed the offence “in a moment of absolute folly and desperation to protect his then wife from harassment”.

    He did not benefit from the act, nor cause any damage.

    Goh could have been fined up to $5,000 and/or jailed for up to two years.

  • Outrage As Filipino Eats Hotdog At Halal Arnold’s

    Outrage As Filipino Eats Hotdog At Halal Arnold’s

    A netizen, DjNiqzam DjNiqzam complained on facebook that he came across a Philipino lady eating her own hotdog at the Halal Arnold’s restaurant in Yishun on Saturday.

    The netizen had taken a photo of the woman eating there and shared it on the Arnold’s at Yishun Facebook page.

    He explained that the manager at the store, who was also a Philipino, did not do anything about the woman eating on the Arnolds plate.

    Understandably, netizens were not impressed. His post received close to 100 shares in half a day and many commented that this was not acceptable:

     DJNiqzam later also explained in further detail what the manager on duty did:

    “What i can say here is that, the philipino manager did not do a proper job in handling this matter cos he himself a Philipino and is Not a Muslim. He cant feel what we Muslims feel and futhermore this thing happen in a Halal restaurant! What he did is that, he took an oil strainer paper and pass it to the lady to place the hotdog on it since it cannot be place on the plate! WHAT??!! When i raised my voice towards them then they packed the hotdog back into their bag! My 2nd comment asking for some to share my post as to create awareness to others to show abit of respect towards Halal restaurant. What should not be done! Some may know and some may not.”

    Netizens commenting on the thread said that it is important to highlight issues such as this so that people know the rules and needs for Halal restaurants. However at least one person also noted that we shouldn’t be jumping to conclusions as it could actually be a halal hotdog:

      

    In response to the doubt about the meat used in the hotdog, DJNizqam said that it was still a concern:

    In fact, it seems he is right as according to the MUIS Halal certification terms and conditions at s2.1, doubtful food items cannot be brought onto a Halal food premise at all:

    2.1 Doubtful and non halal products/raw materials must not be stored, used, sold or brought into the presmises applied for certification.

    What is still worrying is the way that the Arnold’s Manager handled the situation when they are also unlikely to know the meat used in the hotdog. Should managers in Halal certified eateries be better trained to know how to handle such situations?
