Former SIA steward who is now blind

 

 

To be honest, I don't know Halimi. Most probably he joined SIA after I've retired (2003). I admire this guy as he is a fighter and takes all in his stride, also positive in his outlook.

Covid vaccine connection to pilot deaths?

 “They’ve had the third BA pilot die in the last seven days, yeah? Third pilot dead in the last week,” says the man heard in the recording. “The first two guys were in their forties and fifties; this guy, mid-thirties, perfectly fit, no underlying conditions. He gets his second jab and he’s dead within days, exactly the same with the first two… Because of this, BA are now in crisis talks with the government about whether to allow vaccinated pilots to fly. The issue with that of course is that about 80%, according to my friend in BA, 80-85% have been injected.” The man then goes on to say only “10% of pilots will be able to fly,” branding it a “serious issue.”’

Victor the cabin crew loan shark

There was always a number of cabin as well as cockpit crew who were perpetually in debt, due to gambling losses in casinos, share markets, horses,mahjongs,Russian poker etc. etc. These crew would have borrowed from banks,credit card companies,financial institutions etc. Some even falsified renovation contractor bills, car loan receipts and other means to borrow from SIA,under the employee loan scheme.
However, when all the official means of borrowings were exhausted,the crew, in desperation,would turned to an inflight supervisor by the name of Victor Kok (not his real name) for help.

Victor was a big loan shark in cabin crew and at any one time ,could have loan out around a million bucks in hard cold cash. He charged an interest rate of 5% per week whereas the loan sharks were charging 10% .Victor had the monopoly of the illegal money lending businesses in SIA cockpit and cabin crew divisions.
A stewardess or steward could get a loan from $3,000 to $5,000 and a more senior cabin crew around $10,000. For a captain,it was about $30,000. All these loans could be obtained from Victor without collateral.
When Greg the chief steward was arrested at Sydney Airport for drug smuggling, Victor was implicated by the authority in Singapore for some money transactions with Greg.
It was discovered that Victor had given loans to Greg in the past and after intensive interrogation,the authorities cleared Victor as being Greg's accomplice in the Sydney drug deal.

There was another group of crew who borrowed from Victor. They were the trainees from overseas like the Malaysian girls. These trainees needed financial help to start off working lives in Singapore. SIA could only offer small loans to help these trainees during the four months of training. The girls could hardly make ends meet because they were receiving only their basic salaries minus CPF contributions and other expenses.
In the end,through recommendations from the senior crew, the Malaysian trainees were able to borrow from Victor.
Some of these trainees defaulted on their loan payments and had to sleep with Victor during their night stops.

All these years, Victor made a lot of money from the interest payments. He boasted of a five figure monthly income from this money lending source The monthly income from SIA as an inflight supervisor was small changed albeit, around $6,000.
He drove around in a Jaguar  and lived in a 5 bedroomed bungalow house somewhere in an upmarket area. He boasted of a parking space huge enough for at least 10 cars around his house.
Victor was not altogether a very generous man. He did not spend much on clothes and food. He did not smoke nor gambled. He loved beer and they were usually with compliments from his employer.

Victor was not at all an asset to SIA. He was a lazy loud mouthed supervisor but clever enough to give his subordinates good check reports so that they would not complain against him.
During flight, he would like to play around with the young stewardesses by hugging and touching their breasts. He knew which girls he could fool around with(the ones who were his potential loan clients).
Finally, time caught up with this shark. He ran into bad luck when he flew with Leena, a newbie. Victor thought he could fool around with Leena but he got the wrong girl.
Leena was from a family whose head was a top gun in the local community. He wouldn't let the matter rest when his daughter complained about being molested by a male crew. He gave the company a choice,either take severe action against Victor or face a police investigation.
Victor's employer had little choice but to demote him three ranks down to be a junior steward.
It was hard for Victor to swallow the bitter bill and so he tendered his resignation.
While this was going on, the stock market worldwide had a severe correction and Victor's wife who speculated, lost heavily.
Gone were his job,money,house and the expensive cars.
We have not heard of Victor ever since.

From a former SQ stewardess

 It was my first US flight to New York, working B3 from Fra-JFK. There was a German couple and their son seated at 32 ABC. Nothing extraordinary on the flight, except on the return sector, JFK-FRA, the same German family boarded again and there were now on 49HJK (I think) and I was working C4. I recognized them from the earlier sector and enquired why such a short New York trip. Apparently it was the teenager boy's birthday and they were in NYC just to celebrate it.

We crew do what we do best, and we planned to put together some form of a small birthday celebration with extra desserts and champagne from premium classes after the first meal service, during lull period.

During tray collection after the first meal service, I accidentally spilled coffee on a male passenger across the aisle (bulkhead seat 49F) from the German family. I honestly believe it was the gentleman's fault because he had left the tray on the floor and was distracted with his movie as he picked it up to pass it to me. When that incident happen, this gentleman got up and started screaming expletives at me, like, "You d***b b***h! My $200 pants! You f***ing ruined it!" etc etc extremely loudly and every other passenger could hear. I was just so shell-shocked at what just happened and apologized profusely and tried to help with paper towels. My LS came out and helped with the situation, where he first asked if there were any burns. Then he went to first class to get a pair of sleeping pants for him to wear instead as we try to remove the stains from his jeans. This LS, I wish I can remember his name, is the NICEST guy ever. He never once did scold me. Once when everything calmed down, he talked to me in the galley and I started crying, not because the passenger was rude, but because this LS was just so patient and understanding. With the passenger being so aggressive, he asked if I wanted to work on another aisle instead. The other stewardesses had also witnessed what happened and were willing to change positions with me. I said yes. As I was eating my meal, I asked myself, why should I run away from a bully and I should be professional and continue working as designated. Also, this guy should be the one to apologize for the rudeness. So I told my LS that I changed my mind and would it be possible to continue working on my original position. The LS commended on my brave decision. The passenger did apologize later. That was my most horrible passenger incident I have ever encountered in my 3-year flying career.

Anyway, I continued on my duties and during lull period we celebrated the German boy's birthday by surprising him with a cake and served Champagne to his parents. They were very surprised and touched. The family took lots of pictures with the crew and I exchanged emails with them so that they could share the pictures. When the family visited Singapore a few months later, I invited them for a satay dinner with my family. They following year for my birthday gift, they brought me to Naples and Capri in Italy. And in 2006, when Germany hosted the World Cup, I went to watch the opening games with them at Allianz Arena, all courtesy of them. While at the games, just into the second half, a guy somewhere behind me suddenly fell into epileptic seizure. His friends and people around him were in shock and did not know what to do and stood there speechless. Somehow, SQ's first aid training kicked-in, and I rushed over. People were shouting to put something into his mouth so he does not bite himself, but I recall from our training that we should never do that. I checked if there was anything in his mouth and asked people to help me roll him over to the side. Some fluid came out as we did this and that was when the official medics and first aid arrived and they took over taking care of him. Phew!

From just one flight, I experienced 2 extreme sets of emotions. The lowest point (passenger facing point, not including personal matters) in my flying career, but also at the same time one of the highlights, by meeting a wonderful family who showered me with a lot of love.

A lot of times, as a crew, we are always presented with very unfortunate situations, but somewhere in there, there's some form of sunshine peeking out. So do keep a lookout for those possibly wonderful moments. And I have been fortunate to encounter quite a few of these wonderful moments with other passengers as well.

(In case you're wondering, no I never had any sexual relation with the son. He was like a little brother to me. And I was like a daughter they never had.)

Ok I think I am a bit long-winded. Please feel free to edit, or if it's not blog-worthy, there's no need to publish it at all! Thanks so much!

Best,
