  • Disappointing And Unpleasant Experience At The Only Halal Nasi Padang Stall In Area

    Disappointing And Unpleasant Experience At The Only Halal Nasi Padang Stall In Area

    Something to share.

    Please don’t condemn me okay. I’m just sharing. Might be the rental is expensive or whatever other reasons.

    I am working at Parkway Parade and as we all know that the only halal Nasi padang stall is at the market food court (hawker centre). Me and my colleagues have been controlling our patience on how the Makcik and the prices of the food.

    The food is not fantastic, it’s something like ‘no choice, nothing to eat’ kinda thing.

    Today I bought 3 packets of rice.
    1) Rice+ikan belado(a small piece)+ bende goreng : $4.50
    2) Rice+Ayam lemak Cili padi+ KanKong goreng:$4.50
    2) Rice+ikan belado(a small piece)+ kankong goreng+bagedil : $5!

    I asked her if the bagedil is $0.50? She said yes! Why why why? I am not trying to bring people’s business down but she is asking for it. We are familiar faces to her but we still get treated so badly. It’s like she is always in a bad mood!

    We ever had Nasi Padang with a sour-y tasted sambal belacan! Which we had to throw the whole pack cause the sambal belacan was everywhere!

    If she is nice to people maybe we can still close one eye. But no.

    The picture below is my $4.50 rice.

  • Jemaah Singapura Gembira Dapat Beribadah Dengan Lebih Selesa Di 3 Masjid Kampung

    Jemaah Singapura Gembira Dapat Beribadah Dengan Lebih Selesa Di 3 Masjid Kampung

    Bermula bulan ini, para jemaah yang berkunjung ke tiga masjid kampung dapat menikmati pengalaman beribadah yang lebih selesa.

    Ini setelah Masjid Tasek Utara, Jamek Queenstown dan Hussein Sulaiman selesai menjalani kerja-kerja peningkatan.

    BERITAMediacorp menjengah ke tiga masjid tersebut dan mendapatkan pandangan para jemaah tentang kemudahan dan prasarana baru yang disediakan.

    Ruang solat yang diubah suai lengkap dengan penghawa dingin. Kawasan dalaman masjid yang lebih terang dengan tambahan lampu dan kipas angin, serta kawasan luar masjid yang lebih rapi, dan juga papan tanda nama masjid yang lebih besar.

    Itulah antara perubahan yang dilalui Masjid Tasek Utara, yang boleh menampung 200 jemaah, selepas enam bulan ia ditutup bagi menjalani kerja-kerja peningkatan secara besar-besaran.

    Kali terakhir masjid yang berusia 110 tahun itu menjalani kerja-kerja peningkatan adalah pada 2008 kepada kemudahan tandasnya.

    Seorang jemaah masjid, Ahmad Mokhtar Mohd Shafi, berkata: “Alhamdulillah saya cukup bangga, saya rasa mengalir air mata sebab saya tak dapat bandingkan waktu dahulu. Alhamdulillah, orang yang datang sini tidak dapat menyangka tengok masjid ini banyak perubahan.”

    Seorang lagi jemaah, Saifulbahri Rasno, berkata: “Tempat ruang solatnya begitu selesa sekali, begitu baik. Dan saya rasa sebagai seorang jemaah, Alhamdulillah dapat menunaikan solat Jumaat di sini dengan begitu selesa sekali.”

    Menteri Bertanggungjawab bagi Ehwal Masyarakat Islam Dr Yaacob Ibrahim dan Mufti Dr Fatris Bakaram menyertai para jemaah untuk menunaikan solat Jumaat pertama selepas masjid tersebut dinaik taraf.

    Menulis dalam Facebook beliau Dr Yaacob berkata dengan kerja-kerja peningkatan selamat dijalankan, para penduduk dan pekerja di sekitar Farrer Park dan Serangoon dapat beribadah dengan lebih selesa.

    Dr Yaacob turut berkongsi rasa gembiranya bahawa dua lagi masjid lama dan kecil, Jamek Queenstown dan Hussein Sulaiman juga selesai menjalani kerja-kerja peningkatan.

    Masjid Jamek Queenstown yang dibina pada 1964 menjalani kerja-kerja peningkatan pada tempat mengambil wudhu serta ruang solat utama yang dilengkapi dengan penghawa dingin.

    Manakala Masjid Hussein Sulaiman yang berusia 115 tahun pula melalui kerja-kerja peningkatan kepada ruang solat utama, rupa bentuk masjid juga bumbung masjid.

    Namun sepanjang ia dipertingkat, kedua-dua masjid kekal beroperasi seperti biasa.

    Kos keseluruhan kerja-kerja peningkatan kepada ketiga-tiga masjid melebihi S$977,000, sebahagian besarnya dibiaya Dana Pembinaan Masjid dan Mendaki (MBMF).

    Ketiga-tiga masjid itu merupakan antara sembilan masjid lama dan kecil yang terdapat di Singapura.

  • National Stadium To Host Historic Scotland-Italy Rugby Test In June

    National Stadium To Host Historic Scotland-Italy Rugby Test In June

    Rugby fans in Singapore could get to see a historic international Test match played at the National Stadium in two months’ time.

    TODAY understands that Scotland and Italy are set to face each other here on June 10. The Test between the two Six Nations members is made possible by the fact both are stopping over in Singapore en route to Fiji and Australia for a series of matches.

    Scotland play the Wallabies on June 17 and Fiji a week later, while the Italians will fly from Singapore to Fiji to take on the Pacific Islanders before playing Australia a week later in Brisbane on June 24.

    In response to TODAY’s queries, Chin Sau Ho, the Singapore Sports Hub’s senior director for communications and stakeholder management, said: “While we don’t comment on speculation, we are always open to, and welcome, the opportunity for collaboration with event owners and promoters to present a variety of quality events to our patrons.”

    However, TODAY understands that the date has already been pencilled in, and that organisers are now tying up commercial arrangements and are awaiting endorsement from world governing body World Rugby for the proposed fixture. They are also in discussions with the Sports Hub over the costs of organising the Test.

    If the Test between the two 2015 Rugby World Cup (RWC) teams materialises, it will create several milestones for the National Stadium. For starters, it will be the first international Test to be held at the Kallang venue in 19 years. The last time an international Test was held at the National Stadium was when Singapore hosted the 1998 Asian Rugby Championships, which also doubled as the Asian qualifiers for the 1999 RWC.

    The two-tier Championships were held at the old National Stadium and featured Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea in the Division One competition, while Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, India, Sri Lanka and China vied for the Division Two crown.

    The Scotland-Italy Test will also mark the first time two northern hemisphere countries are playing each other here. England played at the Jalan Besar Stadium in 1971 but the game was not a Test, as the Singapore side they faced was a mix of expatriates and local players.

    France also played at Jalan Besar in 1984, when they stopped here after their tour of New Zealand. They took on a Singapore Rugby Union (SRU) President’s XV, which featured players from the New Zealand Armed Forces who were based here, some expatriates and two Singaporeans — Song Koon Poh and David Quek — and won 86-35.

    Since the new 55,000-seater National Stadium was opened in June 2014, it has hosted the World Club 10s and the HSBC Singapore Rugby Sevens. Since last year, Japanese Super Rugby franchise the Sunwolves have also been playing three matches here each season.

    However, the closest the venue came to staging a top-level international game was the planned match between the Maori All Blacks and the Asian Pacific Dragons. The game was supposed to be held in October 2014 but was cancelled by New Zealand Rugby because of the poor pitch conditions then.

    The last time Scotland and Italy met was in the Six Nations on March 18. Scotland won 29-0 to finish with fourth with three wins and two defeats, while Italy finished last with five losses.

  • 2 La Salle Students Suspended After Defending Girl From Bullying FT Student

    2 La Salle Students Suspended After Defending Girl From Bullying FT Student

    2 male students studying at La Salle, a local arts school in Singapore, have been suspended after defending a fellow student from the bullying antics of a foreign student studying in the school.

    According to a witness, a foreign female student had attempted to force a fellow female student to give up her assessment space. In the midst of their argument, a male student approached the quarrel and tried to stop the foreign student from behaving like a bully.

    Even though there was no physical threat or action from the male student, the female student pushed him away in the face with her hands.

    When another male student tried to calm down the situation and approached the foreign student, she grabbed his finger and twisted it, causing the male student to hit out at her in an attempt to escape. Fortunately, the male student missed and the foreign student was unharmed.

    She then proceeded to make a police report, claiming that the first male student had “molested” her and the second had punched her. Her accusations were proven unfounded and the police subsequently stopped pursuing the case.

    Undeterred, the bully continued to cause trouble for the school and the affected students. She eventually forced school administrators to suspend the male students after the bully’s parents came down to the school and made a huge ruckus. According to an eye witness, the parents had marched down to the school to intimidate and harass the students involved in the incident by forcibly questioning students and taking photos of their faces to cause fear and discomfort.

    Meanwhile, the foreign student receive no punishment for her action of physical coercion and bullying against her fellow female school mate.

    The whistlerblower wrote: “Is this really how our college want to treat our student body? Where the represented, loudest mouth, and the most privileged “wins”. As far as we pride ourselves as an “independent” college, perhaps this is the time MOE should know a thing or two about this.”

    He added that the incident was witnessed by many other students and was even reported on Laselle Confessions, although the page has been threatened into removing the post.
