Ministry of Education has just announced that the Malaysian authorities have confirmed the missing student, Navdeep Singh Jaryal S/O Raj Kumar, and teacher Mohammad Ghazi Bin Mohamed, are amongst the persons who perished at Kota Kinabalu.

This brings the total death toll of Singaporeans as a result of the Sabah quake to be 10. All Singaporeans who have visited the mountain are now accounted for.

MOE had earlier confirmed that bodies of 8 Singaporeans have been identified as part of the death toll due to the earthquake on 5 June.

The statement by MOE in full

We are saddened to inform that the Malaysian authorities have confirmed that Navdeep Singh Jaryal S/O Raj Kumar and Mohammad Ghazi Bin Mohamed are amongst the persons who perished at Kota Kinabalu.

Their next-of-kin have been informed. Their remains will return to Singapore upon completion of further forensic tests. This is expected to take some time. We will continue to provide support to the families during this difficult time.

We would like to express our deep appreciation to the Royal Malaysia Police, Malaysian Armed Forces and other authorities for their support and assistance as well as the many individuals who have contributed to the search, rescue and recovery efforts of our students and teachers.

活动四天前被告知需申请准证 吴家和街友体验活动取消

由于活动需申请准证,非营利组织“乐于助人基金”(Happy People Helping People)原定于上周六进行,“穿上他的鞋走一英里” 与拾荒年长者同行的活动,被迫取消。 事实上,上周六(14日)因准证问题被迫取消的,还包括社运分子吴家和(Gilbert Goh)发起的体验街友露宿生活的活动。 此前,吴家和邀请政党人士和群众,在本月14日晚11时至隔日凌晨6时,体验街友露宿街头的生活,亲身感受本地街友的处境。 不过吴家和在本月10日,接到警方电邮了解活动详情,并且提供申请相关准证的咨询。 对此吴家和表示他询问有关活动不过是街友体验活动,惟警方表示仍属有目的的集会。前者也困惑,为何迟至活动四天前才告知需申请准证? 吴家和约在三周前即公开发起上述活动。他表示如果给予充裕时间,他还是会申请准证,但四天前才提出申请准证的要求,他认为仿佛是在劝退他,取消活动。 他称至少有七个群体报名有关活动,也对于活动取消感到失望。…
