x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	I thought you were one of those shouting 30c soon for SMM last month.    It is good to see that you are more realistic now better      ( Date: 15-Oct-2021 16:52) Posted: Exactly. But I tend to lean towards Changtai' s view that nothing much would happen til 3rd Nov. Sembmarine is likely to hold their cards close to chest at least until Q3 biz update in mid Nov. For those shouting no contract is likely half blind. Last year, nobody including Keppel OM got any substantial contract. Sembarine won Sofia. SCM won a long term cruise ship repair contract in Q2 and sealed the 2 Transocean drillships completion arrangement (That' s why they need extra manpower to deliver the drillships in the next half a year). Restarted Cambo design work, pending FID by this dec. Secured FEED for Darodo FPSO, 95% chance of starting construction by mid 2022. In the pole position for the Wisting FPSO bid which is a mega USD2-3 billion contract if deal can be confirmed by dec. And just last week, secured a Antarctic support vessel deal (should get the contract if they don' t demand too high a profit margin). The only problem is that SCM do not have the manpower to start a new mega project at least until Feb next year. ICXGOLD      ( Date: 15-Oct-2021 16:12) Posted: Its not that I am in love with this SCM management, in all fairness this news is purely just targetting SCM by putting it in the headline. Of the 3400 foreign workers only 1400 are SCM so other companies are also involved. This is like a season to throw bad news as SCM. With regards to plight of the Foreign workers its a disgrace that this is happening here but thankfully people are stepping in to help. I Guess that social media platform is kinda fooooked not now in 6 months 😀 Back to SCM, Something is brewing only 30 M trades, with 60 million waiting to sell and a whopping 140M in buy..the Dam can burst anytime, the anticipation is killing me.

The Chinese embassy now says it is closely monitoring the situation and local authorities are &lsquo working hard to resolve the workers&rsquo demands&rsquo A viral WeChat post about Chinese foreign workers grappling with poor conditions and delayed access to medical aid in a  Singapore  dormitory affected by Covid-19 has prompted an outpouring of aid and support, including from Beijing&rsquo s embassy in the city state. Local media said disquiet in the dormitory in Singapore&rsquo s largely industrial Jurong district reached a tipping point on Wednesday, with armoured riot police called in at one point as a precautionary measure. The Singapore Police Force declined to comment. Singapore&rsquo s Ministry of Manpower meanwhile said its officers had been deployed to the site to investigate. &ldquo Preliminary investigations found that there were indeed some delays in conveyancing workers who tested positive for Covid-19 from their rooms to a care or recovery facility,&rdquo the ministry said. The WeChat post, by an account that frequently posts Singapore-centric news, on Tuesday said about a quarter of the Westlite Jalan Tukang dormitory&rsquo s 2,000 residents had tested positive for Covid-19. Among other things, the post claimed the process of isolating infected residents was inadequate, that there was a shortage of medical supplies and that only critically ill workers were taken from the dormitory to receive medical assistance. &ldquo People were down with fever and positive cases were everywhere. The virus lurks in every corner of the dormitory,&rdquo it added.

Other images show workers donning helmets and outfits that belonged to shipbuilding firm Sembcorp Marine. &ldquo Chinese workers face unfair treatment and their dignity is trampled on,&rdquo the post said. &ldquo They love Singapore and are willing to sacrifice to help the virus situation but they are now shoved aside.&rdquo Embassy weighs in A spokeswoman for the Chinese embassy told the  South China Morning Post  it viewed the episode with &ldquo great importance&rdquo . &ldquo The embassy has contacted and communicated with the relevant Singapore authorities and they are working hard to resolve the workers&rsquo demands.&rdquo The spokeswoman added that the workers&rsquo emotions were now &ldquo stable&rdquo , and that it had sent medical supplies such as masks and disinfectant wipes to the dormitory. &ldquo We will continue to track developments, maintain communication with the Singapore side, and protect the health and safety of our workers,&rdquo she said. After the post went viral, Philip Chan, president of the Hong Kong Singapore Business Association and the Kowloon Club, donated 20,000 masks to the workers, saying that he &ldquo just wanted to help&rdquo after hearing about their situation. On social media, Chinese nationals rallied others to donate items to the low-wage workers. &ldquo Even though I am physically in China, I can buy supplies online and help reduce the suffering of my compatriots,&rdquo one WeChat user wrote. https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/health-environment/article/3152384/aid-floods-chinese-workers-alleging-neglect-singapore One of the Chinese workers is taken for medical treatment after the WeChat post highlighted their plight.

Starship      ( Date: 15-Oct-2021 15:18) Posted: Transfer of COVID-19 cases from Jurong dormitory delayed due to ' spike' among Sembcorp Marine workers, says operator 15 Oct 2021 12:26AM SINGAPORE: The transfer of COVID-19 cases from a migrant workers' dormitory in Jurong to recovery and healthcare facilities was delayed due to a " spike" in infections among Sembcorp Marine workers, the dormitory operator said on Thursday (Oct 13). Centurion Corporation, which operates Westlite Jalan Tukang dormitory, said in a statement that it wanted to provide " context and clarity" to claims  made in relation to Sembcorp Marine workers living at the dormitory. The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) on Wednesday said it sent officers from its Forward Assurance and Support Teams (FAST) to  investigate allegations  about  breaches of COVID-19 health protocols, a lack of access to medical support and the poor quality of catered food at the  dormitory. The claims were published in an online article on Weixin, the domestic version of WeChat used in China. Westlite Jalan Tukang dormitory saw heavy security presence on Wednesday afternoon, with armoured riot police and Special Operations Command vehicles deployed. The dormitory has a capacity of 3,400 beds, of which 40 per cent - about 1,400 beds - are occupied by Sembcorp Marine workers, said Centurion on Thursday. " Over the past week,  there has been a spike in cases detected among Sembcorp Marine workers. Due to the large numbers, there have been delays in conveyance to recovery facilities and healthcare facilities," said the operator. Centurion said it has been working closely with MOM' s Assurance, Care and Engagement (ACE) Group to " overcome the logistical challenges posed by this recent increase" in COVID-19 infections. It said all the cases have been taken to the appropriate care or recovery facilities, and added that ACE Group has deployed a mobile medical team at the dormitory. " ACE, Sembcorp Marine and Westlite together are also adding efforts to educate the migrant worker residents on testing and health management policies and protocols, as defined by the Singapore authorities, which differ from perspectives from their home countries and cultures," said Centurion. The operator said COVID-19 testing and movement protocols " have been followed at Westlite Jalan Tukang and are being followed" . " Westlite Accommodation enforces safe living measures at the dormitory, and works closely with the authorities who are maintaining a tight surveillance on migrant workers who test positive for COVID-19," it said. CATERED FOOD Centurion also responded to claims about the poor quality of food catered for workers at the dormitory. " Catered meals for Sembcorp Marine workers staying in Westlite Jalan Tukang are provided and managed by Sembcorp Marine," said the operator. " We understand the company has listened to feedback from their workers, has made adjustments and will continuously improve their catering provider' s service and food quality." Delineating its responsibilities as an accommodation provider, Centurion said its role was to " provide good quality living environments to all our residents" and  " assist in the distribution or collection of meals catered by employers for their workers residing with us" . It said its role was also to " help coordinate between the authorities, health providers and employers around measures to contain and manage COVID-19" . https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/westlite-jalan-tukang-dormitory-sembcorp-marine-migrant-workers-covid19-2244771

It said all the cases have been taken to the appropriate care or recovery facilities, and added that ACE Group has deployed a mobile medical team at the dormitory. " ACE, Sembcorp Marine and Westlite together are also adding efforts to educate the migrant worker residents on testing and health management policies and protocols, as defined by the Singapore authorities, which differ from perspectives from their home countries and cultures," said Centurion. The operator said COVID-19 testing and movement protocols " have been followed at Westlite Jalan Tukang and are being followed" . " Westlite Accommodation enforces safe living measures at the dormitory, and works closely with the authorities who are maintaining a tight surveillance on migrant workers who test positive for COVID-19," it said. CATERED FOOD Centurion also responded to claims about the poor quality of food catered for workers at the dormitory. " Catered meals for Sembcorp Marine workers staying in Westlite Jalan Tukang are provided and managed by Sembcorp Marine," said the operator. " We understand the company has listened to feedback from their workers, has made adjustments and will continuously improve their catering provider' s service and food quality." Delineating its responsibilities as an accommodation provider, Centurion said its role was to " provide good quality living environments to all our residents" and  " assist in the distribution or collection of meals catered by employers for their workers residing with us" . It said its role was also to " help coordinate between the authorities, health providers and employers around measures to contain and manage COVID-19" . https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/westlite-jalan-tukang-dormitory-sembcorp-marine-migrant-workers-covid19-2244771

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Aid floods in for Chinese workers alleging neglect in Singapore dormitory hit by Covid-19 9:37pm, 14 Oct, 2021 The Chinese diaspora and embassy in Singapore are pitching in to help workers grappling with poor living conditions after being alerted to their plight by a viral post on WeChat At one point, riot police were called to the dorm. The Chinese embassy now says it is closely monitoring the situation and local authorities are &lsquo working hard to resolve the workers&rsquo demands&rsquo A viral WeChat post about Chinese foreign workers grappling with poor conditions and delayed access to medical aid in a  Singapore  dormitory affected by Covid-19 has prompted an outpouring of aid and support, including from Beijing&rsquo s embassy in the city state. Local media said disquiet in the dormitory in Singapore&rsquo s largely industrial Jurong district reached a tipping point on Wednesday, with armoured riot police called in at one point as a precautionary measure. The Singapore Police Force declined to comment. Singapore&rsquo s Ministry of Manpower meanwhile said its officers had been deployed to the site to investigate. &ldquo Preliminary investigations found that there were indeed some delays in conveyancing workers who tested positive for Covid-19 from their rooms to a care or recovery facility,&rdquo the ministry said. The WeChat post, by an account that frequently posts Singapore-centric news, on Tuesday said about a quarter of the Westlite Jalan Tukang dormitory&rsquo s 2,000 residents had tested positive for Covid-19. Among other things, the post claimed the process of isolating infected residents was inadequate, that there was a shortage of medical supplies and that only critically ill workers were taken from the dormitory to receive medical assistance. &ldquo People were down with fever and positive cases were everywhere. The virus lurks in every corner of the dormitory,&rdquo it added. The post included screenshots of what appeared to be conversations with workers living in the dormitory, who said that the rooms were not disinfected and that they often found worms, flies and strands of hair in their food. Other images show workers donning helmets and outfits that belonged to shipbuilding firm Sembcorp Marine. &ldquo Chinese workers face unfair treatment and their dignity is trampled on,&rdquo the post said. &ldquo They love Singapore and are willing to sacrifice to help the virus situation but they are now shoved aside.&rdquo Embassy weighs in A spokeswoman for the Chinese embassy told the  South China Morning Post  it viewed the episode with &ldquo great importance&rdquo . &ldquo The embassy has contacted and communicated with the relevant Singapore authorities and they are working hard to resolve the workers&rsquo demands.&rdquo The spokeswoman added that the workers&rsquo emotions were now &ldquo stable&rdquo , and that it had sent medical supplies such as masks and disinfectant wipes to the dormitory. &ldquo We will continue to track developments, maintain communication with the Singapore side, and protect the health and safety of our workers,&rdquo she said. After the post went viral, Philip Chan, president of the Hong Kong Singapore Business Association and the Kowloon Club, donated 20,000 masks to the workers, saying that he &ldquo just wanted to help&rdquo after hearing about their situation. On social media, Chinese nationals rallied others to donate items to the low-wage workers. &ldquo Even though I am physically in China, I can buy supplies online and help reduce the suffering of my compatriots,&rdquo one WeChat user wrote. https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/health-environment/article/3152384/aid-floods-chinese-workers-alleging-neglect-singapore One of the Chinese workers is taken for medical treatment after the WeChat post highlighted their plight.
