Facing Adversity: Elderly Deliveryman vs. “Lying Flat” Youngsters – Striving Bravely or Indulging in Negativity?

In Malaysia, an elderly GrabFood deliveryman perseveres in his work during the holy month of Ramadan, taking breaks only for prayers. Despite his advanced age and hunched back, he works tirelessly without complaints, showcasing his admirable determination. Meanwhile, the prevalent “lying flat” mentality among young people in today’s society has drawn attention and prompted reflection.

Kesian pada masa yang sama cemburu dengan semangat pakcik Grabfood ni. Dalam bongkok² dia pun satu KL dia pusing cari rezeki bulan puasa ni.. Moga dipermudah segala urusan beliau. Yang biasa duduk di Mont Kiara & Sri Hartamas mesti biasa jumpa pakcik ‘legend’ ni. #Grabfood #MontKiara #SriHartamas

In recent years, the “lying flat” culture has become popular among young people. They lose their fighting spirit for life and choose to give up on making an effort. This mentality stands in stark contrast to the tenacity of the elderly deliveryman in Malaysia. While he bravely continues to move forward and strive in the face of life’s hardships, some young people choose to give up when faced with difficulties, falling into the negative state of “lying flat.”

In fact, this negative mindset might put young people at a disadvantage in the competitive job market, making it difficult for them to cope with the ever-changing challenges of society. Therefore, we need to address the mentality issues of young people when facing adversity, provide more support and guidance, help them break free from the “lying flat” predicament, unleash their potential, and strive for a better future.

Education and social environment play a crucial role in shaping young people’s mentality. We should encourage them to face difficulties bravely and maintain a positive attitude. Families, schools, and society should all take responsibility in providing more psychological support for young people, allowing them to face challenges positively and develop a strong fighting spirit during their growth.

Furthermore, we can draw inspiration from the tenacity of the elderly deliveryman. His perseverance and courage inspire others and remind us to cherish our lives and be grateful for what we have. His story teaches us that, no matter our age, we can all strive for a better life. Let’s learn from this elderly man, face life’s challenges with determination and courage, and fill each day with hope.

面对逆境的年迈外卖员与“躺平”年轻人：勇敢拼搏还是沉溺消极？

马来西亚一位年迈的GrabFood外卖员在斋月期间坚守岗位，仅在祈祷时休息。尽管年事已高、背部驼曲，但他毫无怨言地工作，展示出令人敬佩的毅力。与此同时，当今社会年轻人普遍存在的“躺平”心态引起了人们的关注和思考。

近年来，“躺平”文化在年轻人中流行起来。他们对生活失去了斗志，选择放弃努力。这种心态和马来西亚年迈外卖员的坚韧精神形成了鲜明的对比。老人在面对生活的艰辛时，依然勇敢地继续前行，不断拼搏。而部分年轻人却在遇到困难时选择放弃，陷入了消极的“躺平”状态。

事实上，这种消极的心态可能导致年轻人在职场竞争中处于劣势，难以应对社会不断变化的挑战。为此，我们需要关注年轻人在面对困境时的心态问题，提供更多支持和引导，帮助他们走出“躺平”的困境，激发他们的潜能，为更美好的未来奋斗。

教育和社会环境对年轻人的心态起着至关重要的作用。我们应该鼓励年轻人勇敢面对困难，拥有积极的心态。家庭、学校和社会都应当肩负起责任，为年轻人提供更多的心理支持，让他们在成长过程中积极面对挑战，培养强烈的拼搏精神。

此外，我们还可以从年迈外卖员的坚韧精神中汲取灵感。他的毅力和勇气激励着其他人，提醒大家要珍惜自己的生活，感恩所拥有的一切。他的故事教会我们，无论年龄多大，我们都能为生活努力拼搏。让我们向这位老人学习，用毅力和勇气面对生活的挑战，让每一天都充满希望。

新加坡性骚扰案件增长：全社会共同努力打造更安全环境

在过去的四年里，新加坡性骚扰案件达到了9629起，其中包括强奸、侵入性性侵犯、非礼，以及涉及儿童和弱势者的性侵案件。这些数字揭示了一个令人担忧的现象，即使在一个法治严谨的国家如新加坡，性犯罪问题仍然严重。警方已经采取了一系列措施，如成立性罪案及家庭暴力指挥处，以简化报案程序和更好地帮助受害者，但要解决这一问题还需要全社会的共同努力。

首先，政府在打击性犯罪方面应继续加大力度。过去几年，新加坡已经制定了新罪名，以应对借助科技进行的性犯罪，如用手机偷窥等，并加重对与受害者有密切关系的罪犯的刑罚，以及包括非礼罪在内的三项性罪名的最高刑罚。这些法律措施无疑是必要的，但还应继续寻求更多切实可行的方法，如加大对网络犯罪的打击力度，确保现实世界与虚拟世界的安全无缝衔接。

其次，教育和公众宣传是预防性犯罪的关键。家庭、学校和社区都应承担起责任，对性别平等和尊重进行教育，以提高公众对性侵犯和性骚扰等问题的认识。此外，政府和非政府组织可以联手开展公益活动，以提高社会对性骚扰和性侵犯问题的关注度和认知度。只有增强公众意识，才能减少性犯罪发生的可能性。

最后，我们必须关注受害者的心理康复。警方已经在报案和调查程序上推出新措施，如逐步在邻里警局自助取号机增添新的“性罪案”选项，以确保受害者在报案时的隐私得到保护，降低报案的阻碍。然而，除了报案和法律程序，受害者还需要心理治疗和社会支持。政府和社会应投入更多资源，为性侵受害者提供心理咨询、康复服务和法律援助，帮助他们走出心理阴影，重建自信和生活。

除了政府和非政府组织的努力外，我们每个人也应积极参与打击性犯罪的行动。我们可以通过关注身边的人和事件，提高警惕，预防性骚扰和性侵犯行为的发生。当我们发现亲友或周围的人受到性侵害时，我们应尽力提供帮助和支持，鼓励他们勇敢站出来，维护自己的权益。同时，我们也应当学会尊重他人，关爱弱势群体，共同维护一个安全、和谐的社会环境。

新加坡性骚扰案件的增长向我们敲响了警钟。我们需要在法律、教育、心理康复等方面全方位地加强打击性犯罪的力度，以保护每一个人的权益。面对这一严重的社会问题，让我们携手共进，共同努力打造一个更安全、更公平的社会环境。

Singapore Police Establishes Sexual Offences and Family Violence Command, Addressing Increasing Sexual Crime Cases

In recent years, Singapore has seen a concerning increase in cases of sexual harassment. As a society, it is crucial for us to take comprehensive measures to tackle this issue, ensuring the safety and well-being of all citizens.

The government’s establishment of the Sexual Crimes and Family Violence Command Centre is a commendable move. This specialized unit aims to streamline the reporting process and provide better assistance to victims. However, this is just the beginning. Efforts must be extended in various directions, including the continuous review and improvement of relevant laws to tackle the evolving nature of sexual crimes, particularly those facilitated by technology.

Education plays a pivotal role in addressing the root of the problem. By incorporating comprehensive sex education into the curriculum, we can empower the younger generation with knowledge and awareness about consent, boundaries, and respect for others. This education will also help to break down the stigma and shame associated with sexual harassment and assault, encouraging more victims to come forward and report such incidents.

Support networks for victims are essential, and both government and non-government organizations should work together to provide psychological counseling, rehabilitation services, and legal aid to help victims rebuild their confidence and lives.

In addition to the efforts of the government and NGOs, each of us has a role to play in combating sexual crimes. We can do so by being vigilant, paying attention to those around us, and preventing sexual harassment and assault from occurring. When we learn that a friend or acquaintance has been victimized, we should offer help and support and encourage them to stand up for their rights. Moreover, we should learn to respect others and care for vulnerable populations, working together to maintain a safe and harmonious social environment.

The rise in sexual harassment cases in Singapore serves as a wake-up call. We must strengthen our efforts in various aspects, such as law, education, and psychological rehabilitation, to protect the rights of every individual. Faced with this serious social issue, let us join hands and strive to create a safer and fairer society for all.

新加坡70岁男子误点击恶意应用，两小时内损失7.1万新元养老金

一名新加坡70岁男子因在手机上点击了一个恶意的伪造Google Play应用程序，仅两小时内就损失了约7.1万新元。这名男子化名为Loo，他在接受《新明日报》采访时透露，1月29日上午9点左右，他接到了一名星展银行工作人员的电话。工作人员告诉他，从凌晨3点到5点，他的账户里有多笔款项被转至海外，转出的款项共计7.1万新元。此后，Loo的账户仅剩约2,000新元。在这个过程中，他失去了在1月份领到的3万新元养老金。此外，他的信用卡还被刷走了6,000多新元，至今尚未还清。

Loo随后向警方报案，并将手机交给警方进行调查。据星展银行发言人透露，警方调查发现Loo的手机被恶意软件攻破。这种情况可能在人们从未经授权的网站下载带有恶意软件的应用程序时发生。恶意软件允许黑客“控制”移动设备，进行欺诈性的在线交易。然而，星展银行已联系Loo，提出善意补偿。新加坡警方和新加坡网络安全局也发表了联合声明，警告公众不要从第三方或可疑网站下载应用程序，并建议采取相应措施以确保充分保护自己。

Singaporean Man, 70, Loses S$71,000 Pension in 2 Hours After Clicking Malware-Infected App

A 70-year-old man in Singapore lost about S$71,000 in just two hours after he clicked on a malicious fake Google Play application on his phone. The man, known as Loo (not his real name), told Shin Min Daily News that he received a call from a DBS Bank staff at around 9am on January 29. The staff informed Loo that multiple transfers of money were made from his account to foreign countries from 3am to 5am, totaling S$71,000. Afterward, only about S$2,000 was left in his account. In the process, Loo lost his S$30,000 pension that he received in January. Additionally, more than S$6,000 was charged to his credit card, which he has not repaid yet.

Loo subsequently reported the matter to the police and handed his phone over to them for investigation. According to a DBS spokesperson, police investigations revealed that Loo’s phone was compromised by malware. This can happen when one downloads applications laced with malware from unauthorized sites. Malware allows hackers to “take control” of a mobile device to perform fraudulent

FairPrice Team Leader Sentenced for Accepting Bribes, Raises Questions on Penalties and Management

Following the recent corruption case involving two former team leaders of FairPrice, questions have been raised concerning the adequacy of the imposed penalties and the potential shortcomings in FairPrice’s internal management.

One key concern is whether the penalties are too lenient, given the substantial bribes received by the accused individuals. Another pressing issue involves the company’s internal management—how could such corruption persist for so long without being detected?

To improve its image and restore consumer confidence, FairPrice should proactively implement measures to strengthen its internal supervision and promptly identify and correct potential issues. Additionally, the company should regularly organize anti-corruption and professional ethics training for employees to enhance their legal awareness and moral standards.

Meanwhile, the government and various sectors of society should also pay close attention and intensify efforts to combat corrupt practices. Apart from reinforcing legal sanctions, combating corruption can also be achieved through refining laws and regulations and cultivating a morally upright social environment.

In response to the incident, FairPrice stated that it has thoroughly reviewed its procurement processes and implemented necessary actions to strengthen control and governance. The company emphasized its commitment to operating with integrity, enhancing its management capabilities, and effectively fulfilling its promise to moderate the cost of living in Singapore.

Following this corruption case, FairPrice faces the challenge of not only winning back consumer trust but also ensuring the effectiveness of its internal management to prevent similar incidents from occurring again. Only through continuous improvement and strengthened management can FairPrice stand out in the highly competitive market and provide better services to Singapore’s consumers.

FairPrice 团队领导因接受贿赂被判刑，引发对罚金和管理的质疑

近日，一名前 FairPrice 团队领导，70 岁的史福南（See Hock Lam），承认 10 项腐败指控后被判处三年零两个月的监禁。法庭还要求史福南支付 26.15 万元新元的罚金，如果未能支付，他将在监狱额外服刑 523 天。史福南与同谋，48 岁的前 FairPrice 高级团队领导林建国（Lim Kian Kok），从多家供应商处接受 52.3 万元新元贿赂，向行贿的供应商订购更多的鱼类和海鲜。

这一案件引发了两个担忧：一是考虑到贿赂金额，罚金是否过于宽松；二是 FairPrice 的内部管理是否混乱，因为这起腐败事件长时间未被发现。批评者质疑，对于涉及如此巨额贿赂的案件，目前的罚金是否足以起到威慑效果，防止类似事件再次发生。

针对这一事件，FairPrice 集团已对其采购流程进行了全面审查，并采取措施加强管控和治理。然而，关于这家超市连锁企业如何防止类似事件在未来发生以及如何维持其降低新加坡生活成本的承诺，仍存在疑问。有观点认为，FairPrice 作为新加坡最大的超市连锁，涉及广泛的消费群体，腐败案件可能会影响到许多人，因此公司有责任加强内部监管，确保诚信经营。

此外，公众对 FairPrice 内部管理水平表示担忧。腐败事件长达七年之久，为何公司未能早日发现并采取措施制止？这是否暴露了管理层在监督和反腐方面的不足？有人呼吁，FairPrice 集团应该对此深入反思，加强对员工的教育和培训，提高他们的法律意识和职业道德水准。

总之，这起案件不仅引发了对罚金过于宽松的质疑，还让人们关注到了 FairPrice 内部管理的问题。作为新加坡最大的超市连锁，FairPrice 有责任不断提高自身管理水平，确保为广大消费者提供高质量、安全且价格合理的商品。

为了改善公司的形象并重塑消费者信心，FairPrice 集团应积极采取措施，加大内部监管力度，及时发现并纠正潜在的问题。此外，公司还应定期组织员工参加反腐败和职业道德培训，提高员工的法律意识和道德素质。

同时，政府和社会各界也应给予关注，加大对腐败行为的打击力度。除了加大法律制裁，还可以通过完善法律法规、营造风清气正的社会环境等方式，从多方面对抗腐败现象。

FairPrice 集团在回应此事时表示，已经对采购流程进行全面审查，并采取必要措施加强管控。集团表示，将继续遵循诚信经营原则，提高管理水平，切实履行降低新加坡生活成本的承诺。

在这起腐败案件之后，FairPrice 面临的挑战不仅仅是赢回消费者的信任，还要确保内部管理的有效性，以免类似事件再次发生。只有通过不断改进和加强管理，FairPrice 才能够在竞争激烈的市场中脱颖而出，为新加坡的消费者提供更优质的服务。
