Singapore Airlines Named Most Attractive Employer for 3rd Time
SINGAPORE: Singapore Airlines has been named the republics most attractive employer at the Randstad Awards for the third year running, an achievement which will see it inducted into the Randstad Award Hall of Fame.
The Randstad Award recognises the organisations Singaporeans most want to work for, and were presented in front of an audience of senior executives from Singapores 75 largest employers.
Commending Singapore Airlines for its outstanding achievement, Randstad Country Director Michael Smith said: Singapore Airlines is well-known for providing world-class training and development paths and international career opportunities, which was reflected in its high ranking across each gender, age group and education level.
It strives to achieve excellence in all facets of business. As a result, it is universally admired not only in Singapore, but around the globe.
It is vital that employees are proud of the company they work for. Singapore Airlines status as the most awarded airline is a testament to its 14,000 employees who make flying with the airline such an enjoyable experience for the 18 million passengers it carries each year, said Smith.
Singapore Airlines ranked extremely favourably across all key criteria including offering interesting job content, good training, strong management, good financial health, concern for the environment, competitive salary and employee benefits, a pleasant working atmosphere and career progression opportunities.
Singapore Airlines Senior Vice President Human Resources, Christopher Cheng meanwhile said: The award is a positive affirmation of our efforts to continually build and sustain our employer value propositions to attract and retain the best talents.
"At Singapore Airlines, jobs are dynamic, multi-dimensional and challenging. We continue to provide talented individuals exciting opportunities to contribute to the growth and development of various aspects of our airline operations and business."
Other Randstad Award categories and winners include Most Attractive Employer (First Runner-Up) Shell; Most Attractive Employer (Second Runner-Up) Changi Airport Group; Most Attractive Employer in the Banking and Financial Services Sector Deutsche Bank; Most Attractive Employer in the Hospitality and Recreation Services Sector Marina Bay Sands; and Most Attractive Employer in the Engineering and Construction Sector - Keppel Corporation Ltd.
Shell was recognised by respondents for offering competitive salary and employee benefits, long-term job security, good financial health and strong management.
Malaysia Airlines should make the insurance payouts to the families of all crew members on board MH370, beyond the RM20,000 already paid, the airline's cabin crew union said.
“It has been six weeks and the families have not received the rightful amount from the airline,” the National Union of Flight Attendants Malaysia (Nufam) said in a statement.
According to the union, only some of the family members have received the RM20,000 payout under an insurance scheme the company took out for aircraft crew members.
The union also called for a special fund to be set up to help the families of the MH370 crew members.
“Nufam is urging the government to also look into the affairs of these families as well crew members who gave their lives for national service,” the union said.
Earlier reports said companies in China have already started disbursing insurance payouts to the family members of Chinese passengers on board who had purchased life insurance.
The way i look at the developments of MAS no way it can be turnaround, it has to be sold or declare bankrupt. Since Khazanah is holding about 65% of shares they wont allow for a free fall so buy at 20ct n sell at 21 that is the prospect i see.
Hishammuddin Hussein, who has been at the forefront of Malaysia's efforts to locate flight MH370, found himself under CNN's spotlight yesterday after the global news network showed him ducking several probing questions from its senior international correspondent, Nic Robertson.
The acting Transport Minister was at the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC) on Sunday to visit the 14th Defence Service Asia (DSA) 2014 exhibition when he was asked by Robertson on when the military had informed civilian authorities that the Malaysia Airlines flight had been picked up by its radar.
At one stage, Robertson was apparently pushed away by one of the minister's aides and was heard saying "you don't have to push". He was later advised by Hishammuddin's aide to wait for the press conference.
At the press conference later, Robertson repeated the question but this time, Hishammuddin, who is also the Defence Minister, told the reporter that he was at the PWTC for the DSA 2014 event and would only answer questions related to the exhibition.
However, the CNN report said not all questions on MH370 were off limits. This was evident when Robertson asked the minister at the same press conference whether a decision had been made on who will extract data from MH370's flight recorders.
This time, Hishammuddin answered the CNN correspondent: "The Attorney-General is now in the United Kingdom discussing this issue."
As Robertson attempted to ask more questions, Hishammuddin cut him off and said in jest that perhaps there could be a separate session with CNN.
The CNN report said it was important to know when the military had told civilian authorities in Kuala Lumpur that its radar had picked up flight MH370 as the matter had become an increasingly contested issue.
Out of the 1,029 respondents polled in The Malaysian Insider survey carried out by the Merdeka Center, 54% said Putrajaya was not transparent in releasing information about flight MH370 which vanished on March 8.
In response to the question whether they thought Putrajaya had been truthful or had been hiding anything about MH370, 54% of respondents felt Malaysia had been hiding information, 26% said the government had been truthful while 20% were unsure.
Two opposition MPs who criticised Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin's "luxurious" trip to Dubai said the rebuttal from the latter's office still left many questions unanswered.
The duo asked why Muhyiddin's office did not explain the need for a 17-person delegation for the five-day trip last week, which appeared to include a lot of non-essential personnel.
"Not only it is extravagant to send 17 people, it is even more shocking to note than out of the 17, seven of them are security personnel (six bodyguards and one aide-de-camp).
"The rest are made up of personal aides such as four special officers, two political secretaries, a press secretary and a private secretary," said Bukit Bendera MP Zairil Khir Johari and Bukit Mertajam MP Sim Chee Keong in a joint statement yesterday.
Yes those subscribed to rights issue loosing money n Khazanah also suscribed n shall be loosing more then a billion, they should have privatised b4 the rights issue, lacking "business thinking".So finally going for privatisation which is good for national interest but the sad part "privatisation price 22cts".
What if Mas slips into PN17 n gets delisted.. you get nothing..if privatised at least get something..in share trading many have gone bust?... some consolation.
