    Lebih 50% Kambing Korban JKMS Habis Ditempah, 5 Masjid Tutup Tempahan

    Jawatankuasa Korban Masjid-masjid Singapura (JKMS) hari ini (1 Ogos) mendedahkan, lebih separuh daripada 3,500 ekor kambing yang akan diimport untuk ibadah korban, sudah ditempah orang ramai.

    JKMS menambah, dengan perkembangan itu, lima buah masjid yang menawarkan kambing korban dari Australia, akan berhenti mengambil tempahan.

    Kelima-lima masjid tersebut ialah:
    Masjid Assyakirin,
    Masjid Ar-Raudhah,
    Masjid Al-Mukminin,
    Masjid Al-Istighfar dan
    Masjid Darul Makmur.

    Peruntukan kambing Australia bagi dua lagi masjid, iaitu Masjid Al-Iman dan Masjid En-Naeem, juga dijangka habis ditempah dalam masa yang terdekat, menurut JKMS lagi.

    Bagi tempahan kambing biri-biri dari Ireland pula, JKMS menambah kesemua 13 pusat yang menawarkannya juga melaporkan setengah daripada bekalannya sudah ditempah.

    Lantaran itu, JKMS menggalak orang ramai yang mahu menjalankan ibadah korban tahun ini, supaya membuat tempahan awal supaya tidak kecewa.

    Sebelum ini, JKMS menyatakan ia akan membawa masuk sejumlah 3,500 ekor kambing biri-biri dari Australia dan Ireland, dan tempahan boleh dibuat sehingga 28 Ogos ini.

    Harga seekor kambing biri-biri Australia ialah S$490 – sama seperti tahun lalu.

    Bagi kambing biri-biri Ireland pula berharganya S$556 seekor, S$14 lebih murah berbanding tahun lalu.

  • Osman Sulaiman: Work Hard And You Shall Be Rewarded!

    Osman Sulaiman: Work Hard And You Shall Be Rewarded!

    This is Shafiq. My Sales & Project Manager. He is the youngest member of my team. He has only been with us for about 1.5 months.

    Prior to joining me, he was working odd jobs to make ends meet. With nothing to lose, I persuaded him to join me and realise his full potential and the chance to earn a comfortable salary.

    Without any sales experience, he was naturally apprehensive about it. He knows nothing about doing renovation.

    Today, he closed his first deal. It sounded simple. Join me. Earn big bucks. Dont need to work so hard. But behind the scene, not many ppl know that he works diligently.

    His willingness to learn and acquire new skills makes the transition easier. Going out of his comfort zone to achieve his goals. His tenacity was what contributed to his first deal. A huge deal even for my standard.

    He now reaps the reward for his hard work and earns more than peers his age. To excel, paper qualification is secondary. Yes it is needed in a specific field but ultimately, it is not the only channel for success. Hard work is still the fool-proof way to achieve it.

    His success is my success. Im only able to provide the opportunity. Whether one succeed, it is up to the individual to find it.

    Congratulation Shafiq! Tomorrow, you’ll be able to treat me lobster!

  • Heavy Rain Causes Ponding At Lift Landing, Concerned Makcik To The Rescue

    Heavy Rain Causes Ponding At Lift Landing, Concerned Makcik To The Rescue

    After heavy rain, my mother would often sweep the common areas in front of the lift of her HDB flat. (Due to poor upgrading work, we get ‘ponding’ in front of the lift after heavy rain.)

    When I asked her why. She told me she is concern that neighbours in a hurry might fall and break their bones. She tells me she is worried especially about the elderly on our floor and a nurse-neighbour whom she noticed is always rushing to work. And she considered it no big deal to take care of the common areas.

    So all these many years, she has been sweeping away the ‘ponding’. (I’ve seen her cleaned the lift when there’s pee too but that’s a story for another day).

    Here’s my mother, caught in action, sweeping away the ponding, handbag swinging, at midnight after a late Hari Raya visit.

  • Damanhuri Abas: Ministers Must Be Held Accountable For Lapses In Financial Management In Their Ministries

    Damanhuri Abas: Ministers Must Be Held Accountable For Lapses In Financial Management In Their Ministries

    In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

    On Thursday, the AGO released its report on serious and major lapses in financial management across several government Ministries and Statutory Boards  across Ministries, to the tune of hundreds of millions of tax-payers money.

    The Singapore government has always pride itself for its much vaunted so-called corrupt free practices and non-tolerance to any corruption. But this revelation from the AGO clearly provides evidences that may show otherwise.

    Singaporeans first need to salute and congratulate the AGO for being courageous in reporting the truth of financial lapses that may be pervasive across the government sectors. And it really begs the question of the kind of flimsy oversight being practiced under the watch of the million-dollar paid Ministers.

    Surely it is only just and fair for Singaporeans to expect a much better job by those premium paid Ministers. Or are they becoming precisely sloppy due to their own self being extremely cash-rich making them lacksadalsicle towards public money under their care.

    Firstly, Singaporeans demand to know from Ministers running those Ministries and Statutory boards their explanations for these serious financial lapses in their respective Ministries. Why and how can it be possible that given the enormous powers vested to them and the people they had assisting them, yet they failed miserably in supervising and ensuring such wastage of public funds given to their care by tax-payers who had to slogged it our tireless for their hard-earned money to pay taxes.

    Secondly, there are plenty of precedents of cases that were given much publicity in the press that led to jail terms to several individuals for lesser amount of money involved, such as the recent case of Hari Raya lighting involving Majlis Pusat. This case involved some inflations of invoices for payments while not going into the pockets of the management team involved, were deemed as CBT worthy cases. And now the expose by the AGO are plenty of worst cases of possibly CBT worthy ones such as the gross inflation of consultation fees of $410,000 for a Bin construction that only cost $60,000. Clearly someone pocketed much public money here.

    For these and many more reasons of consistency and transparency that the public demands accountability by all the Ministers whose Ministries were flagged by the AGO, for the clear failure of oversight.

    What is more fundamental here is the need to call these Ministers to task as they were only a while ago demanding such serious consequences to WP and its leadership for alleged financial lapses involving the AHPETC. Ministers were so bold as to even call for severe action even for hara-kiri as a benchmark for lapses of management of public money. Now these same Ministers have been very silent when they are now caught for much bigger quantum of losses of public money that they are responsible for.

    Singaporeans must not allow the AGO report to go quietly away but must insist that Ministers come clean and explain the serious failures of their own governance of public money and must take the full responsibility for it. Singaporeans remember clearly that these Ministers are paid premium justified precisely on terms that now dictate consequences upon their failures of duty.

    The government must now walk their own talk.
