  • Ikhsan Fandi Gives Singapore U23 A Win Over India In SEA Games Boost

    Ikhsan Fandi Gives Singapore U23 A Win Over India In SEA Games Boost

    A penalty by Ikhsan Fandi helped the Singapore Under-23 national team claim a 1-0 win against their India counterparts in a friendly at Choa Chu Kang Stadium on Wednesday night.

    The result is a morale-booster for Richard Tardy’s charges before they depart for the AFC U23 Championship qualifiers next week, and it was achieved without injured key players Irfan Fandi and Adam Swandi.

    The Young Lions put up a starkly improved performance compared to a 1-0 defeat to the same opponents on Sunday, and could have scored as early as the seventh minute.

    Haiqal Pashia Anugurah went through on goal, via Hami Syahin’s pass, but the left winger’s goalbound shot was cleared off the line.

    The Young Lions created another good opening midway through the first half. Haiqal sent Ikhsan in the clear, but the latter was superbly closed down by India goalkeeper Vishal Kaith.

    India responded when towering forward Manvir Singh sending his header straight into Zharfan Rohaizad’s arms on 26 minutes.

    Singapore could have broken the deadlock six minutes before half-time, but Ikhsan’s 25-yard free kick sailed wide of the left-hand post.

    The Young Lions earned a penalty in the 51st minute with substitute Syahrul Sazali being felled illegally in the box.

    Ikhsan, second son of Singapore legend Fandi Ahmad, stepped up and slammed the resulting spot kick in off the bar to put the home side 1-0 up.

    Tardy’s charges could have doubled their advantage seven minutes later. However, captain Illyas Lee’s spectacular volley from outside the area went inches wide.

    Singapore’s intensity dropped towards the end with India almost finding an equaliser on 76 minutes.

    Manvir’s fierce snapshot from inside the area seemed destined for the bottom right corner, before Singapore substitute goalkeeper Hairul Syirhan pulled off a stunning save to tip it around the post.

    The Young Lions’ 1-0 win bodes well for the upcoming AFC U23 Championship qualifers in Mynamr and next month’s Southeast Asian (SEA) Games in Kuala Lumpur.

    Singapore Under-23: Zharfan Rohaizad (GK) (Hairul Syirhan 46′), Darren Teh, Lionel Tan, Amirul Adli (Shahrin Saberin 62′), Faizal Roslan (Syahrul Sazali 46′), Illyas Lee (C) (Hafiz Sulaiman 80′), Hami Syahin, Muhaimin Suhaimi (Zulqarnaen Suzliman 65′), Hanafi Akbar (Taufik Suparno 89′), Haiqal Pashia Anugurah, Ikhsan Fandi (Amiruldin Asraf 70′)

    India Under-23: Vishal Kaith (GK), Nishu Kumar (Davinder Singh 46′), Lalrutthara, Ranjan Singh (Sairuatkima 75′), Germanpreet Singh, Nikhil Chandrashekhar, Manvir Singh, Lalhlimpuia Daniel (C) (Alen Deory 75′), Lallianzuala Chhangte (Hitesh Sharma 46′), Jerry Lalrinzuala, Anirudh Thapa

  • Early P1 Ballot Likely At 5 Popular Schools; Not For Malay Students

    Early P1 Ballot Likely At 5 Popular Schools; Not For Malay Students

    Parents hoping to place their six-year-olds in five of the most popular primary schools this year may face a ballot next week.

    The schools are CHIJ St Nicholas Girls’ School, Nanyang Primary, Nan Hua Primary, Red Swastika School and Catholic High School.

    A total of 29 schools were left with fewer than half of their vacancies after Phase 2A1, the second of seven Primary 1 registration stages, closed on Wednesday. Last year, only 19 schools were in this situation.

    The phase, which follows Phase 1 for children with siblings currently studying in the school, is for children whose parents had joined the school alumni association at least one year ago, or are on the school advisory committee.

    The next phase, 2A2, is for children whose parents or siblings are former pupils, or whose parent is a staff member at the school. Registration starts next Tuesday and ends the next day.

    A rule introduced in 2014, which requires all primary schools to set aside 40 places for children in the later stages, may also put a squeeze on places available for the next phase. The 40 places will be split equally between children registering in Phases 2B and 2C.

    In the past three years, balloting has been taking place at an earlier stage of the registration exercise, partly as a result of this new rule.

    Phase 2B is for children whose parents are school volunteers, active community leaders or have ties with church or clan associations directly connected with the schools. Phase 2C is for children with no ties to the school.

    After reserving the 40 places, CHIJ St Nicholas has only seven spots left for Phase 2A2, after 95 children registered this week.

    Nanyang Primary and Nan Hua Primary have 10 and 19 places respectively left for Phase 2A2, while Red Swastika and Catholic High have 23 and 31 spots respectively left for Phase 2A2.

    Communications professional Ow Yong Weng Leong successfully registered his daughter for a place at Red Swastika School this week.

    “The school offers Higher Chinese from Primary 1, so I hope it will help my daughter in becoming bilingual as she currently speaks English more,” said the 37-year-old.

     

    Editors Note:

    Based on sources, students who take Malay as a second language cannot enrol in any of the five popular primary schools namely CHIJ St Nicholas Girls’ School, Nanyang Primary, Nan Hua Primary, Red Swastika School and Catholic High School (https://www.moe.gov.sg/a…/primary-one-registration/vacancies). Perhaps if they make millions, one day one of them they can become President of Singapore. What a shame.

    Is the kind of elite tokenistic multiracialism the DAG believes in?

  • Man Tried To Break Into Woodlands Flat At Midnight With Occupants Inside

    Man Tried To Break Into Woodlands Flat At Midnight With Occupants Inside

    A male stranger allegedly tried to break into Stomper Ong‘s flat at Block 774 Woodlands Crescent at around midnight today (July 7), when only his wife and three-year-old daughter were at home.

    The Stomper said he and his mother had been out at a funeral when the incident occurred at about 12.24am.

    According to Amos, whose wife managed to take a picture of the man, he has never seen the guy around before.

    The family subsequently lodged a police report but are still worried that the man might return.

    Amos recounted what happened:

    “My wife and daughter were resting in our room. While my wife was in a phone call with her friend, both of them heard loud banging of the main door. She went out to open the door, thinking that it was my mum who was having difficulty opening it.

    “To her shock, it was an unfamiliar man in a red shirt, trying to push his way through and enter our house. He stood in the front area of our house, asked my wife to keep quiet and intended to proceed further in.

    “At that moment, my wife was only thinking about the safety of our three-year-old daughter. She shouted and asked my daughter to go into the room, then managed to push this red shirt man out the door and locked the metal gate.

    “This man then stood outside and asked my wife for evidence that he did the damage to our door. After some confrontation, he walked away to the stairway and disappeared from sight.

    “A neighbour came out after this (he hard heard loud banging noise, big thanks to him) and my wife managed to ask him to come over to help.

    “While she was explaining the situation, this red shirt man returned and told my neighbor that my wife was ‘gila orang’ and ran off.

    “That’s when she manage to took a short clip of his appearance. He was sweaty, bare-footed and kept scratching his leg using the other leg.”

    Amos also shared a photo of the damaged inflicted on his door and said it was caused by the man “using a lot of force”.

    He added:

    “The police are currently investigating this, but what we don’t understand is his intention of doing this. Why did he come back? Why our house when there were people still in there?

    “We understand that there is some neglect on my wife’s part (for opening the door without checking, and she can’t remember if she did lock the metal gate) but I believe he will eventually force his way in; it is just a matter of time.

    “I can’t imagine what would have happened to the two girls if my wife had not overpowered him at that moment.”

    In response to queries by Stomp, a Police spokesman said they were alerted to a case of House Trespass at Block 774 Woodlands Crescent at 12.28am.

    Investigations are ongoing.

  • Awesome Movers Company Replaced A Scratched Samsung TV After They Said That They Would

    Awesome Movers Company Replaced A Scratched Samsung TV After They Said That They Would

    #tanyakakina

    I must do a special mention for this amazing person.

    I moved house last week, msg few movers who turned me down cos its hari raya week. This one agreed to do.

    During the shift, he has almost 10staff and all locals who understood what to be done and carried my stuff carefully, all wrapped or dismantled n to be fixed back at the new place.

    That was not the highlight. At the new place he drilled the wall to fix back my tv. Then they realised my tv had a hairline crack. It was a new 65inch samsung n upon hearing that, tears rolled down my cheeks. He admitted his mistake n promised to buy me a new tv. Waaaaat! Jangan bedek lah! So says my inner voice. 3days later he came back with a new tv, exactly the one i had. This is one hell of a businessman, who took a lot of pride in running an honest business. I was so amazed that he didnt run away with empty promises. My prev mover lost my wedding photo and didnt answer my calls or refund me. So i am really thankful this time, there is an honest mover to deal with.

    For the type of work he does, n the guarantee that he gives, i paid a mere $500 for the whole shifting. He refunded me with a tv worth more than $5k.

    Hope more people will support him and his men who worked so hard. I thank zul and his team from the bottom of my heart.

    Think movers. Think Budget Moverz.
