    Just making an observation.

    1. Rear Admiral Minister suddenly announced he won’t be standing for election, after numerous criticisms for train breakdowns and failures.

    2. Another Rear Admiral suddenly steps down at LTA after less than 2 years, after recent controversy over purchases of 26 faulty trains.

    3. Lieutenant General at NOL fails to keep company afloat. Sells NOL to a foreign company.

    4. Another Lieutenant General at SMRT struggles to solve train problems. SMRT taken over by Temasek.

    5. Major General in the running to be next PM.

    I’m just saying.

  • 6 Terror Suspects Arrested For Plotting To Hit MBS With Rocket From Batam

    6 Terror Suspects Arrested For Plotting To Hit MBS With Rocket From Batam

    SINGAPORE — Indonesian authorities have arrested six terrorism suspects over an alleged plot to fire a rocket into Marina Bay from Batam, a distance of less than 30km, according to local media reports.

    The suspects, aged 19 to 46, were arrested on Friday morning (Aug 5) by Special Detachment 88, Indonesia’s elite counter-terrorism squad. The group is said to have links to Bahrun Naim, the alleged mastermind behind the attacks in central Jakarta earlier this year.

    Singapore’s Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said it is aware that plans were being made by the six terror suspects. “Our security agencies have been coordinating closely with the Indonesian authorities since the discovery of this attack plot, to monitor the activities of the group and to apprehend those involved,” it said in a statement.

    Singaporean police and other agencies have been stepping up inland and border security measures, said MHA.

    According to an online report by Batam Pos, the suspects were arrested at various locations across Batam, including the Mediterranean Housing Block FF1 Batam Centre, Complex Masyeba, Cluster Sakura Botania, Carina Park Complex, and the Komplek Taman Indah Batuaji.

    “It is true that we are holding six people,” a senior police official, Boy Rafli Amar, was quoted saying by Batam Pos.

    The report identified the six suspects as Gigih Rahmat Dewa, 31; Trio Syafrido, 46; Eka Saputra, 35; Tarmidzi, 21; Hadi Gusti Yanda, 20; and M Tegar Sucianto, 19. All of them work at a fabric factory except Trio, who is reportedly a bank executive. An Indonesian TV station identified Gigih as the ring leader.

    One of Gigih’s neighbours said he got married four years ago and did not show signs of suspicious behaviour. “He rarely goes out, in fact, we don’t know anything about them. So far the couple has been good,” the neighbour was quoted saying by Batam Pos.

    Bahrun Naim, an Indonesian militant, is well-known to security agencies. Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam said in March that Bahrun Naim was suspected of encouraging attacks in Singapore. He is said to be behind the bomb-and-gun assault at a Jakarta shopping plaza on Jan 14 that killed eight people, including four attackers, and injured more than 20 others.

    Indonesian national police chief Badrodin Haiti has also named him as one of the region’s core leaders in the pro-Islamic State network

  • Former Chairman Of Darussalam Mosque Charge For Criminal Breach Of Trust Involving $370,000

    Former Chairman Of Darussalam Mosque Charge For Criminal Breach Of Trust Involving $370,000

    Former chairman of Darussalam Mosque, Abdul Mutalif Hashim, was charged in court yesterday (Aug 3) on 14 counts of criminal breach of trust involving savings from money collected at the mosque, reported Berita Harian on Thursday.

    The donations amount to more than $370,000.

    Mutalif, 55, was accused of committing the offences between 2006 and 2013 while as chairman of the mosque (Masjid Darussalam) at Clementi, as well as head of the administration office (Lembaga Pentadbir Masjid – LPM) of the mosque.

    Mutalif is also president of Adam Association, a non-profit organisation to give support to men and a place for them to seek help.

    According to the report, out of the 14 charges, nine involve Mutalif allegedly misappropriated $353,600 worth of collections from Masjid Darussalam, which he divided and banked into several bank accounts. These actions were not known by the mosque’s administration office (LPM).

    According to the charge sheet which Berita Harian has obtained, he is accused of having committed the above offence over seven years, from Jan 2006 to March 2013.

    Apart from that, there are five charges which involve him allegedly siphoning $18,291 from Masjid Darussalam’s donations and using it for expenses in Adam Association. These actions were again not known by the mosque’s administration office.

    Mutalif is accused of committing the above offences over a period of four years, from Jan 2006 to Nov 2009.

    As a whole, he managed to siphon a total of $371,891 from the mosque, which he then placed in several bank accounts and used for Adam Association expenses.

    A spokesperson from the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis) condemned the act. It stated to Berita Harian that “such actions in mosques are not acceptable”.

    According to the newspaper, Muis had informed the police after they found inconsistencies. However, it did not provide details as the case is being heard in court.

    It is understood that Mutalif did not appear in court yesterday because he was sick. His case will be heard again in court on August 10.

    If found guilty, he can be jailed for life or up to 20 years and fined for each charge.

  • Inovasi Sofwe ‘Automating’ Syarikat Anak Melayu Raih Anugerah Cemerlang

    Inovasi Sofwe ‘Automating’ Syarikat Anak Melayu Raih Anugerah Cemerlang

    Inovasi sofwe ‘automating’ oleh sebuah syarikat baru tempatan, Versafleet meraih Anugerah Cemerlang Asia Pasifik Frost & Sullivan.

    Anugerah itu mengiktiraf syarikat yang menghasilkan teknologi bermutu yang membawa nilai tambah kepada para pelanggan.

    Sekitar 80 peratus syarikat tempatan masih lagi menggunakan cara manual untuk perancangan logistik. Proses itu sangat rumit, memakan masa dan mahal.

    Menyedari potensi dalam bidang tersebut, Muhd Shamir Abdul Rahim, 34 tahun mencipta sendiri Versafleet – sofwe ‘automating’ yang memudahkan syarikat-syarikat melakukan perancangan logistik dengan cepat.

    Encik Shamir, CEO Versafleet, berkata: “Ia sangat penting sekarang kerana dengan popularnya e-dagang, logistik, jumlah bungkusan yang dihantar tidak lagi dalam lima hingga empat bungkusan sehari, ia sekurang-kurangnya puluhan. Dari 60, kadang-kadang boleh meningkat kepada lebih 100 bungkusan sehari.”

    Dengan itu, Versafleet menjadi portal sehenti untuk syarikat-syarikat – dari menguruskan pesanan, memantau pelanggan, mengesan kenderaan sehinggalah pesanan itu sampai di pangkuan pelanggan.

    Sejak dilancarkan empat tahun lalu, lebih 60 syarikat kecil dan sederhana (SME) kini menggunakan sofwenya dan berjaya menguruskan sehingga 2,000 penghantaran bungkusan.

    Bagi Encik Shamir, beliau percaya inisiatif yang dihasilkannya adalah selaras dengan misi negara bijak. Beliau mendorong para usahawan muda supaya memanfaatkan peluang yang tersedia ada.

    “Geran-geran seperti iSPRINT daripada IDA, ia menawarkan diskaun, kadangkalanya sehingga 70 peratus untuk SME. Yang paling penting, perubahan minda. Contohnya, daya tahan, kegigihan, tidak senang putus asa,dapat mempelajari sesuatu yang baru dengan cepat kerana perkembangan teknologi terlalu pesat- tiga hingga enam bulan akan berubah,” kata beliau.

    Memandang ke hadapan, Encik Shamir mahu meluaskan lagi sofwenya kepada lebih banyak SME tempatan.
