Wow...What an Adventurous Life with God WOW....WHAT AN ADVENTUROUS LIFE WITH GOD. by. Dr. Gabriel Oon Chong Jin, MD Cantab., FRCP London, FAMS, DCH London, Knight of Magistral Grace, Order of Malta, Singapore Association When I look back at the pages of my Life book, God has taken me on many very thrilling and exciting adventures , from a war child escaping from the Japanese submarines and bombers through the Straits of Malacca in the darkness of night to Bandra/Bombay , India in 1942, to survive the war, then see the ravages and the horror stories of war on return ; ......to finding that my maternal grandmother Wong Bee Ho,had died from Japanese torture . She was the daughter of the legendary Datuk Wong Ah Fook , a poor carpenter from Guangzhou, who was liked by the Sultan Makhota of Johor and built the Sultan's Palace in Johor Bahru in 1858 and another palace inside the Singapore Botanical Gardens at Tyresall Road for his favorite wife Fatimah. She had helped in the education in the country and other philanthropic works. ,,, to see next ...the growth of two nations ..Malaysia and Singapore ; ....to the beginning of a Badminton career from the age of 7 yrs following in the footsteps of my legendary uncle Wong Peng Soon,( the Undisputed Singapore and the World Badminton champion Sportsman of the last century by the Straits Times polls). He used to play and teased us calling us " champs" ; ... to later at the age of 22yrs, to become the World No:2 in Men's Doubles and one of the top 12 in Singles in the early 1960; ... followed next by an academic career at Cambridge to do Medicine , and to rub shoulders with the great Noble Prize winners , like Sanger ( for Insulin) Crick and Wilson ( DNA) : to academic research and meet great researchers. ... Little did I know that these greatness would inspire me to follow suit and also be just like them " Ze best" Finally called back to be in the Far East , by the Professors of Medicine in Hong Kong and Singapore & Doyens of Medicines and the Chinese Ambassador to UK ..." Go back home ..and help your people back there" . -1- ...Sparse, with no funds , I was then then instrumental in initiating Liver Cancer Research (1975-2005) , which led me to be so involved with the WHO and the International Agency for Research in Cancer /WHO as to pioneer and lead in the safe implementation of the global vaccination program against Hepatitis B and its related Liver Cancer. Using the new vaccine the demonstration project was carried out in under my supervision Singapore. Being a WHO project it allowed us to acquire safe and effective , but an expensive vaccine, but now at low cost to us for use in the WHO project. .As a result, one of Singapore's greatest contributions to Public Health is the almost elimination of HBV and liver Cancer as used safely it has saved the lives of millions in Singapore and worldwide. In the process of our research ,we produced the five first biomedical patents in Singapore in 1995 and led to the formation of Cancer Research in Singapore through the formation of the first Singapore Oncology Society and the setting up of Cancer Centers for research and treatments.. ......In the medical field of emergency, I was involved in saving the lives of burnt victims suffering from inhalation burns from the Spyros tank explosion ( October 1978) , and in 1986 ; to the live of a 18 yr old girl trapped in a collapsed building for four days in the Hotel New World Disaster. Two years earlier , I had treated her for lightning injury which had hit her chest, vaporizing her necklace and leaving a singe mark on her chest and a galloping heart rhythm. She , wet after a swim at the East Coast Park, was sheltering at the edge of a Casuarina tree . Her four other friends standing under the trunk were all killed. ...., met ,welcome and dined with Nobel Prize Laureate Professor Baruch Blumberg (1972), discoverer of the Hepatitis B Virus on his 1998 visit to Singapore when he visited our Ransome Research Labs , and learnt about our researches on mutant viruses of HBV for which patents were taken out ......The next Nobel Laureate who visited me in my Labs was Sir Sydney Brenner(2002) on messenger RNA from the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology at Cambridge who was awarded the Nobel Prize . ......Coming to the last chapters of my book; I was the Archdiocese Scientific Expert on Bioethics and defended the Magisterium of the Vatican against Singapore Government's desire to embark into human therapeutic cloning. -2- Based on scientific knowledge at that time ... no scientist in anywhere in the world has ever been able to produce a product without the risk of cancer or rejection of the product. The myth that a 12 day human embryo could not be rejected and would be a useful malleable material for tissue engineering was shown to be false, with the discovery that even 3 to 5day old human embryos had transplant antigens, making them rejectable. Safety and efficacy were the WHO requirements for any pharmaceutical product to be used in humans. When my 'prophesy' was not heeded, by 2005... Singapore Government lost $250Million in published losses. Since 1995, God has taken me and many of you on pilgrimages to many holy sites of Christendom and shown me the wonders of His creations , people, , languages , cultures and history of human civilization. .....Called to join in forming the new Order of Malta in Singapore , I helped it to grow to show how exemplary Catholics can do a lot for humanity, and good works by hands on activity ... Mission after Mission ,was led by God and only he could have cleared the path way which each had its intrinsic and enormous difficulties and challenges.e.g like getting Medicines through the war in Palestine and Israel in 2003 to our Order of Malta's Holy Family Hospital in Bethlehem, Palestine , which required permission given by Israel.Even the International Red Cross could not get through ; ..to the Asia Tsunami and help to the earthquake damaged town and church at Lawdesky and repairing the damaged docks, fishing boats and villages in Pulau Aceh , which were on the path of the Tsunami ; To witness God's amazing power to heal me from a severe life threatening bleeding. God saved me with his invisible healing powers by His word , the promise by the vision of Jesus and Mother Mary and the Eucharist . I had bled severely from six undiagnosed and symptomless duodenal erosions while I was on an audit mission to Lawdesky, Aceh on the 25 March 2005 . With no anti ulcer medicines but prayers and taking the Body and blood of Christ at the village Mass, the bleeding stopped. I had lost 5 pints of blood , dropped my blood pressure to catastrophic levels of 70/50 and had to be transfused with 3 units of blood 48hrs after making a safe journey back to Singapore. -3- ...to the bringing of the spirit of Lourdes to Singapore and residents in this region, who did not know what Lourdes meant and about our Catholic faith.... and what sacrifices and what God's mighty hand can do for success of such difficult and seemingly dangerous missions. God revealed to me his powers to evict demonic possession in a woman who collapsed at our Lourdes 2009 event, and showed me the power of the prayers of the blood of Christ ,the Rosary and the sign of the cross made on the body of the woman by a Catholic priest, who was an recognized exorcist. Finally, as I get closer to the last chapters of my book, God takes me away from the evil which has permeated Orders and placed me elsewhere to build his churches and bring the Good News to as many around the world , such as , with our new Singapore Chapel in the Holy Land...which is to bring more pilgrims back to the Holy Land to learn about the birth of their Faith .... and now our new Church of the Transfiguration in Singapore....wow..what a roller coaster ride... ....My only damage ...physically ....two lumbar spinal operations for compressed nerves in 2012& 2013 and torn ligaments and cartilages . He has now replaced them with a Cobalt Cadmium "bionic "knee which will last another 20 years...and my companion and wife ,Susie who this year we celebrate our 40thanniversary has been with me in some of these roller coaster journeys and two wonderful sons who know what it is all about .... Sheng Lung and Sheng Fei, Ginny and Sinead, my daughters- in- law, and grandchildren Chloe and Christian .Who knows what God would want them to do? Extracted from my Face Book.

She is also a staff member of World Buddhist University, member of International Association for Philosophy and International Association for Greek Philosophy, Republic of Hellenic. Her interests focus on Ancient Greek philosophy, Feminist Theories, Environmental Ethics and Practical Buddhism. She is currently doing her research on Mahayana Buddhism in Malay Peninsula. ABSTRACT Chinese Buddhist Missionary in Malay Peninsula The late prime minister of Singapore, Mr. Lee Kuan Yew said that, “The Chinese should not be poor in education.” As Singapore statesmanship, he was dedicated himself to improve Law and educational system in all levels for developing the people first and the progress of the country will be followed naturally. In fact, Mr. Lee’s vision was not at all a new idea among the Chinese generally. The question was arisen on how to accomplish his vision in a practical way. Mr. Lee realized that ethics and moral education were important for young Singaporeans. To accomplish his vision, distinguished Buddhist and Confucius Scholars were invited to Singapore for the purpose of educating the young people to understand why it is important to think and act rightly. Through my field research in Malaysia and Singapore, I had learnt that Chinese Buddhist missionaries took the tough role to educate both the indigenous Malays and the immigrants Chinese in different period of times. The content of this paper focuses on history of the Peninsula and the people, psychology of the Chinese immigrants, the work of prominent Buddhist monks and nuns to whom they had taken the remarkable roles to stabilize Dharma teachings in contemporary times in Malaya states during British colonization until the present.

  • English Was the Main Medium of Instruction in These Schools, Some of Them Also Offered Chinese Lessons and Advocated a Bilingual Education
    GALLERY 4 CHINESE BUSINESS PIONEERS In Southeast Asia, Dr. Sun Yat Sen depended on the support of local Chinese businessmen for his revolutionary activities. In Singapore, these businessmen were often influential Chinese leaders and highly regarded by both the British colonial and Chinese governments. By the time Dr. Sun arrived in Singapore, businessmen had led the Chinese community for almost a century. They were at the top of the social hierarchy and were involved in commercial activities that boosted Singapore’s economy. With their wealth and influence, they were instrumental in shaping the three pillars of the Chinese community: Chinese schools, community organisations and newspapers. The establishment of the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce (today the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry) in 1906 marked a new phase in the community’s history and instilled a sense of unity across different dialect groups. The Chamber encouraged the local Chinese community to stay connected with their homeland, and led them through times of crisis. As Singapore moved towards self-government and eventual independence from the 1950s to 1965, the Chamber actively lobbied for the rights of Chinese residents to be recognized as the citizens of this new multicultural and multiracial nation. CHINESE ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES IN THE 19TH CENTURY After establishing Singapore as a trading post in 1819, Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles’ vision of the island as a commercial emporium attracted traders from far and wide. These traders included Chinese businessmen from Malacca and China, who engaged in a wide range of businesses such as trading, shipping, revenue farming, planting, tin mining and real estate.

Though urban design is the most traditional field of planning, it sorely lacks cohesive theoretical foundations. Much writing takes the form of guidebooks or manuals, which rely on rules of thumb, analytical techniques, and architectural ideas whose theoretical justifications are unclear [2]. With the current emphasis in planning agencies on environmental enhancement and improvement programmes, small are approaches and design guidance, this absence of information is a serious problem[3]. KEYWORDS: Analysis of The Townscape of Johor Bahru City Malaysia. I. INTRODUCTION The recognition of building styles and their relation to historical periods is the key to townscape analysis. The visual impact of building fabric can now be more precisely assessed by taking account of the modifications to basic architectural forms. The correlation of building fabric with functional change is a link between the morphological and contemporary dynamic fields of urban study. 1.1 Objective. The objective of this paper is townscape analysis on Johor Bahru City, especially near of Jalan Wong Ah Fook and Jalan Trus.

    408 P. LIM PUI HUEN Notes 1. Christoph Marcinkowski, Shi’ite Identities: Community and Culture in Changing Social Contexts, Freiburg Studies in Social Anthropology 27 (Vienna: LIT Verlag, 2010), 82–3. 2. Ibid., 81–2, 95. P. Lim Pui Huen, Johor: Local Histories, Local Landscapes, 1855–1957 (Singapore: Straits Times Press, 2009), 240 pp. ISBN: 9789814266260. SG$55.00 Christoph Marcinkowski International Institute of Advanced Islamic Studies (IAIS) Malaysia On 15 July 2010, IAIS Malaysia hosted a public seminar on “The Impact of Globalisation on Contemporary Muslim Societies”, which was attended by more than 300 guests, among them foreign diplomats and academics. The highlight of this event, however, was the Royal Address by HRH Raja Zarith Sofiah binti Almarhum Sultan Idris Shah II, the consort of the Sultan of Johor. In her speech, entitled “Globalisation: Building Bridges Between Islam and the West”, HRH Raja Zarith Sofiah pointed out that mutual understanding is also important if Muslims are to rid themselves of their stereotypical image as terrorists and extremists, whereas Muslims must know that they share a common history with people of other faiths. Elsewhere, this reviewer, too, has been trying to emphasise the important role played by Malaysia’s monarchy within the context of the contemporary discourse on extremism.1 As a matter of fact, Malaysia’s system of constitutional monarchy has always understood itself – and indeed functioned – as a mediator and a bridge. Johor Darul Ta’zim – the ‘Abode of Dignity’ – and its Sultans had always been such a bridge between civilisations. Johor is also one of those Malaysian states that are still marked by mutual respect between the races and mutual love between the royal family and their subjects.2 One of the heroes of Johor’s more recent history, HRH Sultan Abu Bakr, the great moderniser, is also fondly known as the ‘Father of Modern Johor’, as many historians accredited Johor’s development in the nineteenth century to his enlightened leadership.

  • Wong Ah Fook (12 March 1837 – 12 September 1918) – Businessman/Philanthropist
    Biographical Notes Wong Ah Fook (12 March 1837 – 12 September 1918) – Businessman/philanthropist Wong Ah Fook was a well-known businessman in Singapore and Johor Bahru in the late 19th and early 20th century. Wong was born Wong Fook Kee on 12 March 1837 to Wong Mau Chiu, a poor peasant in Taishan, Guangdong.1 In 1854, at the age of 17, Wong came to Singapore to escape poverty and the upheavals caused by civil wars in China.2 He apprenticed himself to a carpenter, who a few years later, gave Wong a share of the business.3 Wong later started his own business, Him Yuen & Co.4 By the 1860s, Wong had made the acquaintance of Temenggong Sri Maharaja Abu Bakar of Johor (later Sultan Abu Bakar) and went on to establish a business relationship with him. That relationship formed the foundation of Wong’s expansion into Johor Bahru, where he eventually made his fortune.5 In the later part of the 19th century, Wong became one of the biggest government contractors in Johor,6 with several key buildings to his name. They included the Istana Besar (1864),7 Istana Zahara and Balai Zaharah (1889),8 and Senyum, the residence of Johor’s first Mentri Besar (1893),9 among others. Wong was also involved in the building and maintenance of public works,10 including the jail in Johor Bahru.11 Wong was also granted revenue farming (gambier and pepper) by the Johor government between 1886 and 1891.12 In 1892, Sultan Abu Bakar granted Wong a substantial tract of land in what is today’s central Johor Bahru for “services rendered”.

  • Philanthropy on the Road to Nationhood in Singapore Philanthropy in Asia: Working Paper No
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by IssueLab Philanthropy on the Road to Nationhood in Singapore Philanthropy in Asia: Working Paper No. 1 Roshini Prakash and Pauline Tan acsep: knowledge for good Abstract This paper attempts to address the gap in knowledge on the contributions by philanthropic players to national development in Singapore. Using grounded research, it explores the evolution of giving by individuals, the community and the private sector in Singapore from the end of World War II in 1945 to today. It looks at how each group gives towards prevailing social needs, unexpected events and crises as well as government calls for community support across fve key phases in Singapore’s journey to nationhood. To provide context to the giving, the political and socio-economic situation of each time frame and concurrent government social welfare provisions in each phase are also described. The data collected shows evidence of complementary eforts across the people, public and private sectors over time, from the rebuilding of Singapore after the war to the formation and running of the Singapore Council of Social Service, the Community Chest, Singapore Community Foundation, ethnic self-help groups and various social movements. In the immediate post-war period (1945-1959), all three sectors worked in tandem to rebuild Singapore. In the frst years of independence (1959-1975), the public sector took the lead to build basic social and economic infrastructure with the people and private sectors flling in the gaps. Once Singapore had achieved economic stability, the government corralled the community and corporates to frst unite in (1975-1990) and then initiate support for the underprivileged (1990-2004).
