Encik Yusof Ishak
The Late
Encik Yusof Ishak
First President of Singapore
(9 Aug 1965 to 23 Nov 1970)
Encik Yusof Ishak
First President of Singapore
(9 Aug 1965 to 23 Nov 1970)
Encik Yusof bin Ishak, was born on 12 August
1910 at Padang Gajah, Trong, about 18 miles from Taiping, Perak. He
was a Malay of Sumatran descent and could trace his lineage on the
paternal side to Minangkabau, and on the maternal side to Langkat. They
first settled in Penang and later, Perak.
Encik Yusof was the eldest son in a family of nine. His father, Encik Ishak bin Ahmad, was the Acting Director of Fisheries, Straits Settlements and Federated Malay States. Encik Yusof received his early education in a Malay school in Kuala Kurau, Perak. He was later transferred to a Malay School at Taiping. In 1921, he began his English studies at King Edward VII School, Taiping.
When his civil-servant father was posted to Singapore in 1923, Encik Yusof accompanied his parents and studied at the former Victoria Bridge School until December 1923. In 1924, he was admitted to Raffles Institution where he passed the Cambridge School Certificate in 1927 with distinction, and prolonged his studies for two more years in the Queen's Scholarship class.
While in school, Encik Yusof joined in practically all forms of sport played by boys. At the Raffles Institution, he played hockey and cricket and took part in swimming, weight lifting, water-polo and boxing. In 1933, he became the Singapore light-weight champion. As the most outstanding cadet of the School Cadet Corps, he became the first student ever in Singapore to have been commissioned by the then Governor as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Cadet Corps. He was a school prefect and was co-editor of the 'Rafflesian'.
After leaving school in 1929, Encik Yusof went into partnership with two friends and embarked on the publication of the "Sportsman", a fortnightly magazine devoted entirely to sports. In 1932, he joined the staff of 'Warta Malaya', the leading Malay newspaper of that time. His journalistic ability took him rapidly from the ranks to the top posts of Assistant Manager and Acting Editor within a short time. In 1938, he resigned from the 'Warta Malaya', and with a few close friends, established the 'Utusan Melayu Press Ltd'. In May 1939, the now well-known 'Utusan Melayu', came into being with Encik Yusof at the helm as its first Managing Director.
During most of the period of the Japanese Occupation (1942-1945), Encik Yusof remained in Malaya and on the capitulation of the Japanese Forces, he returned to Singapore on 3 September 1945, and immediately resumed publication of the 'Utusan Melayu'.
In 1948, Encik Yusof visited Britain as a member of the First Press Delegation. In early 1957, he went to Japan to inspect the latest machinery which the 'Utusan Melayu' had ordered. In May of the same year, he moved to Kuala Lumpur to supervise the construction of the Utusan Building. While in Kuala Lumpur, Encik Yusof was elected President of the Press Club of Malaya. He was the moving spirit behind the 'Utusan Melayu' during the difficult period of Malayan independence.
Encik Yusof also held many distinguished public appointments with the Singapore Government. From 1948 to 1950, he served on the Film Appeal Committee. He was a member of the Nature Reserves Committee for a year, and also of the Malayanisation Commission. In July 1959, he was appointed Chairman of the Public Service Commission, Singapore. On 3 July 1965, Encik Yusof became the Chancellor of the University of Singapore.
Encik Yusof took up appointment as Yang di-Pertuan Negara of Singapore on 3 December 1959. The Singapore Head of State paid a four-day State Visit with his wife Puan Noor Aishah to Cambodia in April 1963 and subsequently proceeded together in the same month to Mecca to perform the Haj, where they were the State Guests of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. A State Visit to Ceylon also took place in May 1963.
Encik Yusof was conferred the First Class Order of the Darjah Kerabat (The Most Esteemed Royal Family Order of Brunei) by the Sultan of Brunei in November 1960 and the Darjah Kebesaran Sri Maharajah Mangku Negara (S.M.N.) by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia in November 1963.
On 9 August 1965, when Singapore ceased to be a state in the Federation of Malaysia and became an independent and sovereign State, Encik Yusof became the first President of the Republic of Singapore. He was re-appointed for a further term of four years on 4 December 1967.
Encik Yusof bin Ishak was married to Puan Noor Aishah and had a son and two daughters. He passed away on 23 November 1970.

Grand-Daughter Of Singapore’s First President Yusof Bin Ishak Among 800 New Mass Communications Graduates From Oklahoma City University (OCU) As It Celebrates Its 20 Years Of Partnership With MDIS
Press Releases
Singapore, 15 October 2011 – Ms Fatimah Imran Yusof Ishak has a dream to
fulfill to be a journalist and follow the footsteps of her illustrious
late grandfather, Singapore’s First President, Yusof Ishak. The late
President himself was a well-known founder, journalist and editor of Utusan Melayu before he became the Head of State
She was present to witness her grand-daughter’s educational milestone as she received her Mass Communications degree from the Guest-of-Honour, Dr. Ahmah Mohamed Magad, Chairman of MDIS Senate, at the 14th MDIS-OCU graduation ceremony at the Ritz Carlton Millenia Singapore Hotel today.
Also present to lend her support was Ms. Ong Lay Hong, Managing Director of MediaCorp’s Suria and Vasantham TV Channels.
Before her studies at OCU, Fatimah worked as Senior Executive of Learning and Development at MediaCorp. Her work experience at MediaCorp played a formative role in her decision to do Mass Communications at MDIS among other established universities as she was persuaded by the encouraging comments from her colleagues, who are MDIS alumni. She was also impressed by its good track record and the industry-relevant opportunities the programme offers.
She said: “As a child, geared with an investigative mind, I’m always taking down observations in my small notebook which I always carry around with me. Grandpa taught my Dad and his other kids to start humbly and always emphasised to my Grandma (the First Lady, Puan Noor Aishah) the importance of education. This was why she gave her fullest support for me to pursue this degree – which has brought me a step closer to fulfilling my childhood aspiration of becoming a reporter. Over the years, I have learnt that without passion, we will not be wholehearted in our job and will never truly find satisfaction in it. I believe my passion in the media coupled with the growth potential in this field would bring me far in this career.”
Management Development Institute of Singapore (MDIS) was the first educational institution to introduce the American mass communications degrees in Singapore when it partnered with Oklahoma City University (OCU) 20 years ago.
Out of a cohort of 800 graduates, 70% are local and the remaining are foreign students from various Asian countries.
Two of Singapore's Presidents were journalists. Aside from the late president Yusof bin Ishak, the late president Wee Kim Wee, the fourth of our seven presidents of Singapore, was also once a journalist with The Straits Times and later became the chairman of Singapore Broadcasting Corporation (now known as MediaCorp).
The long partnership between MDIS and OCU has spawned many illustrious alumni who are now serving in key positions in the communications industry and have been making significant contributions in their field. They include Yap Koon Hong, the Straits Times Forum Editor, Bhavani Krishnasamy, Director of MICA, and Chung Kwang Tong, Secretary General of the Singapore Taoist Federation Youth Group.
Dr. R. Theyvendran, Secretary-General of MDIS said, “We are delighted to be the pioneer in offering mass communications degrees in Singapore and we feel a strong sense of pride when we see our graduates with OCU degrees making significant contributions to our society through various leadership positions, thus positively shaping our corporate and media landscape over the years. We are also here to celebrate a momentous milestone with OCU who have been our partner for 20 years – in delivering excellent globally - recognised courses in Mass Communications. We have inculcated among our graduates sound practical skills to become top communication professionals in the field.”
Commenting on the long-standing partnership with MDIS, Dr Robert Henry, President of OCU said, “The two decade long partnership has been mutually rewarding for OCU as well as MDIS. This partnership with MDIS, an education icon here, has given us this valuable opportunity to be in Asia and to impart our knowledge and skills from an American and global perspective to a whole generation of Mass Communications practitioners in Singapore and other parts of Asia. We are delighted with the outcome and achievements made over the years.”

Presiden Melayu Pertama Singapura tinggal sejarah. Rakyatnya sudah lupa!
Menurut Dr Lily, ketika Singapura berusaha untuk bergabung dengan Malaya sekitar tahun 1963, kerajaan PAP (Parti Tindakan Rakyat) pimpinan Lee Kuan Yew mempotretkan negaranya sebagai beridentiti Melayu dengan melantik Yusof bin Ishak sebagai Yang di-Pertuan Negara menggantikan Sir William Allmond Codrington Goode, Gabenor Singapura.
Lagu kebangsaan Singapura juga berbahasa Melayu, “Majulah Singapura” yang digubah pada tahun 1957 oleh seorang penggubah muzik filem yang terkenal pada masa itu, Encik Zubir Said.
Begitu juga dengan lambang bendera Singapura yang terdapat bulan dan bintang sebagai simbol Islam dan para pelajar diwajibkan mempelajari bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa kedua di negara itu.
“Ironiknya, pada masa kini, elemen soalan ‘Siapa nama kamu ? Di mana kamu tinggal ? dan perkataan ‘Majulah Singapura’ tidak lagi difahami oleh kebanyakan rakyat Singapura.”
Dr Lily berkata demikian dalam bukunya bertajuk “Singapore Dilemma in the Malay World,” Routledge Taylor & Francis Group, 2009.
Dua tahun kemudian, pada 7 Ogos 1965, Singapura dikeluarkan dari Malaysia kerana berlaku rusuhan kaum apabila PAP sering mempertikaikan hak keistimewaan kaum Bumiputera, menuntut persamaan hak antara Bumiputera dan bukan Bumiputera serta melaksanakan sistem meritokrasi berasaskan konsep Malaysian Malaysia.
Rusuhan kaum di Singapura pada tahun 1964 itu membawa kepada rusuhan kaum di Kuala Lumpur pada 1969 yang lebih dikenali sebagai ‘Peristiwa 13 Mei.’
Pada 9 Ogos 1965, Singapura membentuk negaranya sendiri yang dinamakan Republik Singapura, dengan Yusof bin Ishak dilantik sebagai Presiden dan Lee Kuan Yew menjadi Perdana Menteri pertama.
Yusof Ishak hanya bertahan menjadi Presiden Melayu pertama Singapura selama lima tahun, dari 9 Ogos 1965 hingga saat beliau meninggal dunia pada 23 November 1970.
Selepas Yusof Ishak tiada lagi Presiden Singapura berbangsa Melayu kerana selepas kematiannya, jawatan Presiden itu diganti oleh Benjamin Henry Sheare, Devan Nair, Wee Kim Wee, Ong Teng Cheong, Sellapan Ramanathan dan Dr. Tony Tan Keng Yam.
Manakala Setiausaha Agung PAP, Lee Kuan Yew pula memegang jawatan Perdana Menteri selama 31 tahun diganti dengan Goh Chok Tong dan pada 12 Ogos 2004, anak Kuan Yew, Lee Hsien Loong mengambil alih semula jawatan Perdana Menteri Singapura hingga sekarang. AIDC

Itukan presidennya negra lain, tapi tunggu dulu ada yang unik disini, tentang informasi siapa presiden pertama Singapura ini, ya jika Presiden Indonesia berasal dari Indonesia, itu merupakan hal yang wajar dan lumrah tentunya.
Namun, jika orang Indonesia menjadi Presiden di negri lain, itu ialah hal yang luar biasa. Tapi, ini memang benar, dari fakta yang ada. Presiden pertama Singapura, adalah Yusuf Bin Ishak.
Ayahnya orang Minangkabau dan ibunya berasal dari Langkat (Sumatera Utara). Ia lahir di Perak, 12 Agustus 1910, sulung dari keluarga yang beranggotakan 9 orang.
Meninggal di Singapura, 23 November 1970. Ia juga satu-satunya presiden Singapura hingga sekarang yang keturunan Melayu. Pada 3 Desember 1959 Yusuf Bin Ishak dilantik sebagai kepala negara (Yang di-Pertuan Negara) Singapura.

"..KEHIDUPAN DUNIA HANYALAH Kesenangan YANG MEMPERDAYA" [QS. AL 'IMRAN (3):185].
Firman Allah S.W.T., yang bermaksud: Wahai orang yang beriman! Janganlah kamu mengambil orang yang bukan daripada kalangan kamu (seperti Yahudi, Nasrani, dan Munafiq) menjadi teman karib (yang dipercayai). Mereka tidak akan berhenti berusaha mendatangkan kesusahan kepada kamu. Mereka sukakan apa yang menyusahkan kamu. Telah pun nyata (tanda) kebencian mereka pada pertuturan mulut mereka, dan apa yang tersembunyi oleh hati mereka lebih besar lagi. Sesungguhnya Kami telah jelaskan kepada kamu ayat ayat (Kami), jika kamu memahaminya (memikirkannya).” - [Al Quran Surah Al Imran ayat 118-120] .
