    PERGAS Suarakan Keprihatian Berkenaan Perjudian Online

    Persatuan Ulama dan Guru-Guru Agama Singapura (Pergas) menyuarakan keprihatinan ke atas perjudian online yang diluluskan pemerintah baru-baru ini dan kesan-kesan negatif kegiatan tersebut terhadap rakyat Singapura, tidak mengira latar-belakang agama mereka.

    Pergas bagaimanapun menyatakan, ia memahami, langkah pemerintah meluluskan perjudian online adalah untuk mengawal kegiatan itu dan juga perjudian secara haram.

    Pergas menyuarakan demikian dalam satu kenyataan media hari ini (15 Okt), menyusuli laporan-laporan media pada 30 September 2016, berhubung langkah Kementerian Ehwal Dalam Negeri (MHA) meluluskan permohonan oleh Singapore Pools dan Singapore Turf Club (STC) untuk mengecualikan perjudian online daripada Akta Perjudian Terpencil (RGA).

    Laporan-laporan tersebut juga menyatakan bahawa jika dua pengendali perjudian didapati melanggar syarat-syarat tertentu, ia boleh didenda sehingga $1 juta bagi setiap syarat yang tidak dipatuhi.

    Pergas menyatakan, sebagai sebuah pertubuhan yang bertanggungjawab membentuk kepimpinan agama, menjadi tugas Pergas untuk menyediakan panduan dari sudut agama buat masyarakat Islam.

    Oleh itu, Pergas bertegas bahawa tidak ada tolak ansur dalam hal-hal berkaitan perjudian dan kegiatan itu jelas mendatangkan kesan-kesan negatif terhadap individu yang terlibat serta masyarakat.

    Memandang ke hadapan, Pergas mengingatkan masyarakat Islam supaya menjauhkan diri daripada terlibat dengan sebarang kegiatan perjudian, yang dilarang agama Islam.

    Mereka juga perlu menahan diri daripada mengambil bahagian dalam sebarang kegiatan sedemikian kerana ia menjadi lebih mudah setelah perjudian online diluluskan.

    Pergas menambah, menerusi semangat menasihati antara satu sama lain untuk melakukan amalan-amalan yang baik serta menyebarkan kebenaran, ia dapat membantu mengingatkan masyarakat supaya menjauhi perjudian dan juga pengaruh-pengaruh negatif lain.

    Semalam (14 Okt), menerusi khutbah Jumaat di masjid-masjid Singapura, masyarakat Islam turut diingatkan supaya menjauhi tabiat berjudi serta kesan-kesan buruk yang bukan sahaja menjejas individu yang terlibat secara langsung, malah anggota keluarga mereka.

  • PAP’s Marine Parade GRC Candidate Sprints To Garner Votes

    PAP’s Marine Parade GRC Candidate Sprints To Garner Votes

    PAP’s Marine Parade candidate Tan Chuan-Jin came up with an unusual method to garner votes in an estate in Lorong Melayu yesterday (Sep 3).

    The former SAF Brigadier General put his fitness to full use by sprinting from house to house in estate that is part of Marine Parade GRC, the area he is contesting in.

    The Straits Times posted a video of him sprinting along the road before heading to a home to meet members of the public.

    In a Facebook post, he explained why he chose to do this:

    “I am spending most of the day covering as much as I can just to touch base with residents again. My normal routine is twice a week house visits and will spend time chatting with residents…Hence, it takes me longer to cover my estates and blocks, but I find it more meaningful that way.

    “Running in between units has become my most regular form of exercise! Helps to not let residents wait for too long as well. But as always, good to catch up with friends. I should weigh myself before an after and track my number of steps!

    “My activists and volunteers are also helping to distribute manifestos, cards etc and am very thankful for them delivering these personally to residents if they are at home. Jiayou! Hope for your support! (Let’s see how this pair of shoe performs! Maju Lah!)”

  • PAP Unveils Team For Marine Parade GRC

    PAP Unveils Team For Marine Parade GRC

    The People’s Action Party (PAP) has confirmed that Mr Edwin Tong will be fielded in Joo Chiat as part of the Marine Parade Group Representation Constituency (GRC) team for the coming General Election.

    Anchored by Social and Family Development Minister Tan Chuan-Jin, the rest of the team will include incumbents Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong, Assoc Prof Fatimah Lateef and Mr Seah Kian Peng.

    The team had previously been cited as the likely line-up for Marine Parade GRC by Mr Goh on the MParader Facebook page. Mr Goh had said he requested for Mr Tong “to be tested” in Joo Chiat, a single-seat ward in the 2011 GE that has been absorbed into Marine Parade GRC for the coming GE.

    Mr Tong, who comes from Moulmein-Kallang GRC, replaces MP Tin Pei Ling, who will stand in the newly carved-out MacPherson single-seat ward.

    Fighting his 9th election, Mr Goh said this morning (Aug 26) he could have retired but felt duty-bound to stay on when Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong asked him to. On Mr Tan’s appointment as anchor minister in Marine Parade GRC, Mr Goh said: “This is national leadership transition in action”.

    Minister for Social and Family Development Tan Chuan-Jin will be the anchor minister at Marine Parade GRC in the upcoming election, he announced on Saturday evening (Aug 15) at the sidelines of a Hari Raya celebration event.

    Mr Tan said this means he will be “playing a leading role” within a team, adding that ESM Goh Chok Tong will continue to run in Marine Parade GRC for the upcoming election.

    “We will continue leveraging on his experience. He’s much loved and respected by many of the residents in Marine Parade and Marine Parade GRC, and I would say many Singaporeans as well,” Mr Tan said. “We will discuss issues together and I think we operate very much as a team, and I don’t see that changing.”

    ESM Goh Chok Tong had on Friday announced that he will be standing for election in Marine Parade GRC, where he has been an MP for close to 40 years.
