The Thin Line between
Being Rude and
Being Firm
When caught in challenging situations with customers, service
staff often tread a thin line between being rude and being firm.
How do we know when we have gone too far?
A good check would be our Choice of Words.
Let’s try this:
What is the right choice of words to use when telling passengers
that they cannot bring their bottled water on board their flights?
Option 1:
Option 2:
“You cannot bring the bottle of water past the boarding gate.
This is against the ICAO* policy.”
*ICAO: International Civil Aviation Organization
The passenger is likely to perceive the service staff as RUDE when he
uses these words:
Choice of Words
Passenger’s Perception
1. You cannot…
• Service staff is rude and unhelpful.
• Passenger is left with no alternatives.
2.This is against
ICAO policy.
• Passenger may feel that this is targeted at
him, as if he has committed a crime.
• Passenger may feel this is unjustified as he
is unaware of the “policy”.
• “ICAO” is an abbreviation. Using
abbreviations is not advisable as
passengers may not understand what
they mean.
Recap!
02
ONECHANGI oct-dec 2014
“According to international aviation guidelines, all passengers are
not allowed to bring more than 100ml of liquids, aerosols and gels
on board. May I suggest that you empty the bottle of water before
entering the boarding gate?”
The passenger is likely to perceive the service staff as FIRM when he uses
these words:
Choice of Words
1. …international
aviation
guidelines…
2.All passengers
are…
3.May I suggest
that…
Passenger’s Perception
• Use of layman terms such as
“international aviation” rather than
aviation jargons or abbreviations is less intimidating.
• Use of the word “guidelines” instead of
“policy” is less threatening.
• Passenger will not feel that this
is targeted at him. The word “All
passengers…” implies that the guidelines
are applicable to all travellers.
• This demonstrates an effort to go the
extra mile in providing the passenger with an alternative solution.
•Avoid using abbreviations
•Use “all passengers are” instead of “you are”
•Use “guidelines” instead of “policy” •Use “may I suggest that” instead of “you cannot”

How often do you pause to appreciate what you have in life?
As 2014 draws to a close (and we do hope you have had a smooth-sailing one to date),
it is perhaps time we look back on the year’s highlights and start to count our blessings.
This year, what are you thankful for?
Melody Lagania
Changi Experience Agent,
P-Serv
My husband and I welcomed
our bundle of joy in June!
I am from The Philippines
and so it is nice to settle
in Singapore and set up a
family here. Incidentally, my
husband works here too! So
Changi Airport feels like a
home, with all the wonderful
people here.
Agnes Shirley Baldwin
Auxiliary Police Officer,
AETOS Security
Management
Having worked for 20 years,
I am considered one of the
pioneers in my workplace.
The airport is my playground.
Recently, I was awarded the
Commissioner of Police
Award and that was a great
moment for me!
Choon Yoon Mee
Housekeeping Officer,
Campaign Complete
Solutions
Not too long ago, I was
rewarded with a Changi
EZ-Link card as well as NTUC
vouchers. I was so happy to
be recognised for my hard
work! Many housekeeping
officers were also recently
invited to a luncheon.
Such initiatives make me
feel appreciated and they
motivate me to approach
what I do with greater
enthusiasm.
Abd Hamid Bin Salim
Baggage Officer,
dnata Singapore
Helping people is my calling.
You can say one thing I am
grateful about is the ability
to use what I learn in my job
to assist others. It is really
meaningful.
Aiman Nurudin Hakiim
GST Custom Officer,
Singapore Customs
Lo Hsiao Ching
Customer Service Agent,
SATS
Job stability is one thing
I need because I have to
provide for my family.
Working here is a good
fit for me as I derive great
satisfaction from meeting
new people from all walks of
life. Not to mention I get to
be around during the Formula
1 season and see all the stars!
I am thankful for the
airport’s multitude of
attractions such as The
Great Adventure. Just
imagine getting to take
a rollercoaster ride in an
airport! These attractions
certainly make my
workplace livelier and oneof-a-kind. Whenever I have
the chance, I’d patronise the
attractions too.
Tan Kian Heng
Changi Youth Ambassador,

Elaine Chew
Sales Assistant,
The Cocoa Trees
Landing the coveted
internship with Changi
Airport! It has been a fruitful
time here and I have learnt a
lot. To cap off my experience,
I recently received the
Changi Service Star. I was
so delighted! I keep it in my
pocket wherever I go.
My family and I visited
Bangkok a few months ago
and we went to the train
market. It was an eye-opener
for my two teenagers as they
got to experience an activity
otherwise not found in
Singapore! Seeing their sheer
excitement… as a mother,
there really isn’t any more I
can ask for.
Gary Mark Matthew
Auxiliary Police Officer,
AETOS Security
Management
Oh, my pay raise! Of course,
it is more than just about the
money. I have been entrusted
with greater responsibilities. I
am tasked to check boarding
passes, a duty that very few
are privileged to do. It makes
me feel valuable and spurs
me to work harder.
Tan Un Hua
Trolley Service Officer,

I counted my blessings
when I secured a job at
Changi Airport. As I am

The comfortable working

I get to keep myself busy

CHECKING IN
with APS
They are the first faces you see before you jet off on
your holidays. Think the personnel at the counters
merely issue boarding passes and check in your
luggage? Not! They are the eyes and ears of Changi
too, helping to uphold safety in their line of duty.
Meet Zharonne Moral, Mary Rose, Sehap Rashid and
Santosh, all Customer Service Associates who hail
from Asia-Pacific Star (APS). Curious as to why they
unanimously rated their happiness level at APS a very
high 9? Read on to find out!

Travelling Soon?
Sehap has a tip for you!
“For passengers not checking in any
baggage, check if the airline offers web
check-in! It guarantees you a seat and
you just need to be at the gate 15 minutes
before your flight. All this convenience at
just a couple of dollars more!”

ONECHANGI oct-dec 2014
Tell us, what does your job entail?
Mary Rose (MR): When passengers
approach my counter, I will ask them where
their destinations are. I then check the type
of passports they are holding, and if they
need a visa.
Zharonne (Z): When a passenger does not
have the required visa, we will call the
embassy. There are other alternatives as well.
For example, Singaporeans going to Australia
can head to Singapore Airlines’ Electronic
Travel Authority facility at Row 6 to apply
for a visa.
Sehap Rashid (SR): We have to check the
passports very carefully. On a China-bound
flight, there may be two Chinese passengers
with the same names.
Z: After we close the counter, we will make
our way to the departure gate. We do
checking of the manifest there.
Santosh (S): We will also inform customers
of any flight delays.
What else do you look out for when you
are on duty?
MR: Security breaches such as baggage
pooling. Some customers will go up to fellow
flight passengers and ask if they can help share
the excess weight. We cannot allow that.
S: Of course, the passenger would get
defensive and ask, “How do you know he’s
not my friend?”
Exactly. How do you determine that?
MR: Simple — we ask follow-up questions.
“May I know what’s inside the bag?” The
passengers, who are only trying to help,
would usually be stumped.
S: We then explain to them that should
anything happen, they are liable. Their facial
expressions change really quickly when they
realise the potential danger they are in!
SR: The key is to let them know that these
procedures are in place for security reasons
and above all, their own safety.
“There are no difficult
passengers, only
passengers in difficult
situations.”
— Sehap
So this job requires a high level of
situational awareness.
S: Indeed! It’s all about reading the
passenger’s body language. Even though
we’re not authorised to check the baggage,
we do convey our suspicions to officers
of different departments when we notice
suspicious passengers.
Spotlight
MR: We have a code. We will make an
indication on the passenger’s boarding pass!
That will alert the Immigration department
to take note.
We’ll be sure to check our boarding passes
for that. Were there times when you went
the extra mile to help passengers?
RM: Sometimes, families become dismayed
when they discover they are not sitting
together. What we do then is to help to ask
other passengers onboard the aircraft if they
are willing to change seats.
SR: As we get to meet people from different
countries, we learn different languages so we
can converse with them!
Sure sounds like you guys have fun at work!
Z: We’re like a family. When the work is hard,
seeing your colleagues makes it easier to get
through the day.
MR: And it helps that Changi Airport is
fully air-conditioned! There’s the Duty Free
Galleria where I can shop, and I can use my
staff discount! (laughs) But in all seriousness,
it’s a harmonious workplace. We all have
the same goal and that is to deliver superior
service.
S: We can mingle with our seniors. Also,
our senior managers will tell us, “Don’t
worry about the queues, those are our
responsibilities. You can just focus on the
checking in duties.” — this kind of approach
lessens the stress.
MR: Our supervisors will even sit and help
out at the counters!
SR: When it comes to work, it feels like all
of us are on the same level. But of course
our supervisors’ salaries are higher (laughs).
It’s amazing — no matter how heavy the
workload is, we always manage to clear it.
S: Together, everyone achieves more.
Last but not least – any tips when helping
a passenger in need?
SR: Always remember that there are no
difficult passengers, only passengers in
difficult situations.
MR: Give one option at a time. Don’t give
all, if not you will exhaust your options!

Training
that
shine
How does APS turn its employees into
first-rate service personnel?
• Refresher briefings on operations and
new SOPs are conducted twice yearly.
• Internal audits are conducted to
maintain consistent service standards.
Staff are guided along so they can
reach high levels of service excellence.
When a passenger approaches, APS staff
will stand and greet him. Flashing a big
genuine smile is second nature to them.
“Sometimes, passengers will put their feet under
their luggage to try to trick the weighing scale.”
– Mary Rose on funny work incidents
Always a Good Time at APS
In 2013, APS saw a significant jump in its Employee Engagement Survey. What makes APS such a
wonderful place to work in? We find out.
• Team Bonding: Icebreaking events such as movie outings and Sports Day with SATS bring
everyone together.
• Not Just Casual Friday: Staff are encouraged to come dressed in their traditional costumes.
• Spreading the Holiday Cheer: During the festive season, SATS/APS management will
surprise staff by handing out goodies!
• Everyone’s Birthday: Every two years, staff are invited to APS’ anniversary celebrations held
at a chalet. It’s a time to let their hair down and just unwind!

Haresh S/O Chandran
Felix Chung Chee Cheng
A passenger was angry as he could not
bring his limited edition bottle of whiskey
on board. Michael approached him to
explain Changi Airport’s Liquids, Aerosols
& Gels (LAGs) guidelines and offered other
options. The passenger decided to book the
next available flight and check in his liquor.
Michael accompanied him to the airline
counter and even helped to pack and seal
the bottle in a box. The passenger thanked
Michael for his excellent customer service.
Ing Err is always cheerful and friendly. Just
recently, she was praised for her excellent
service and flexibility in accommodating
request changes. She also took the
effort to introduce the Changi Rewards
scheme to customers so that they could
accumulate points to exchange for
vouchers. Ing Err would also surprise
customers celebrating their birthdays
by bringing the crew together to sing a
birthday song.
After helping Mr Brown with an
anniversary gift for his wife, Felix shared
an idea to create a lovely surprise: Felix
would personally deliver the present to
Mrs Brown. Mr Brown loved the suggestion.
The plan was executed. As she excitedly
unwrapped her present, Felix played a
love song from his handphone to rev up
the romance and even “popped” a bottle
of mineral water. Mrs Brown was moved
to tears!
Narmin Nisha Bte Mohamed Rafi
Bashirah Begum Binte Abdul
Kudir
Haresh was approached by Mr Robinson
who appeared to be in extreme pain. He
immediately escorted the passenger to the
nearest Raffles Medical Group (RMG) clinic.
The latter was deemed unfit to travel.
Haresh then contacted the airline and
arranged to offload his bags.
When he realised all the transit hotels
were fully booked, Haresh offered to host
the passenger. He treated Mr Robinson to
supper and brought the latter to a followup checkup the next day. He also showed
his new friend around Orchard, Marina Bay
Sands and Mustafa Centre. The pair then
returned to a home-cooked dinner. Mr
Robinson was very touched by this gesture
of love and care.

Narmin spotted an elderly couple who
seemed lost. She approached them
and despite the language barrier, she
understood that they were looking for a
money changer and also a place to eat
local food. At the money changer, however,
the couple was told that they could not
have their currency changed as they were
holding on to old notes. Narmin offered
to treat them to some local delights at the
food court. The grateful couple later took
a photo with Narmin for keepsake.
Liew Poh Lee (Polly)
LS Travel Retail Singapore (Pandora)
Polly noticed that an elderly customer
she was serving had trouble walking.
She escorted the passenger to retrieve a
wheelchair for his comfort. The passenger
was grateful to Polly for her kindness and
could not stop thanking her.
Dwi Sri Utaminingsih
LS Travel Retail Singapore (Discover
Singapore)
When Dwi noticed that a couple had left
an envelope containing several $1,000
notes, she immediately informed her
manager. Together, they rushed to the Gate
Hold Room. Fortunately, they spotted the
couple entering the gate. The passengers
were elated and kept thanking Dwi and her
manager. They also wanted to give Dwi a
token of appreciation but she insisted that it
was her duty.

A passenger arrived at the GST refund
counter only to find that she had
misplaced her refund receipts in a taxi.
Bashirah assisted by asking for her taxi
receipt. She then called the taxi operator
and located the taxi driver. She found
the receipts and delivered them to the
passenger. Thanks to Bashirah’s help, the
passenger was able to make her claims.
Mohd Jumatdi Bin Ayub
dnata Singapore
Upon hearing that a passenger was
hospitalised, Jumatdi grew concerned
that the former would need his baggage.
He located the passenger at Changi
General Hospital and arranged for
same-day delivery of the baggage. He
also coordinated with parties such as the
Indonesian Embassy to ensure that the
passenger and his family were taken care
of. Throughout their three-week ordeal,
Jumatdi visited and provided them with
food and financial support. In fact, he is
still keeping in touch with the family!
Zhang Deya (Denna)
LS Travel Retail Singapore (Pandora)
When Denna saw something fall out of a
customer’s bag, she quickly went over to
check. Upon realising that it was several
hundreds of dollars, Denna took it upon
herself to locate the passenger. After some
time, she found the passenger at a food
outlet. The passenger was very grateful.
Certis CISCO Aviation Security Wendy Lin Wan Chiew
DFS Venture Singapore (Liquor &
Tobacco)
Upon realising that a customer had left her
wallet, Wendy rushed to the information
counter to page for the customer. When
the customer did not show up, she headed
to the boarding gate. Her efforts paid off
when she found the customer. Wendy
informed her that her wallet was at the
information counter. The passenger was
both surprised and thankful.
Ernie Rose Gabral Alcantara
P-Serv
After being informed that an elderly man
had passed out due to a heart attack,
Ernie rushed to Gate F31. Seeing that the
unconscious passenger’s lips had turned
blue, she grabbed the nearby AED, called
RMG and requested for the emergency
buggy. After ascertaining that no medical
personnel were in the vicinity, Ernie
administered CPR and AED with the help of
two passers-by.
When RMG arrived, Ernie helped to
disperse the crowd. She comforted the
victim’s wife and asked about her husband’s
medical history. She then updated the
authorities with the relevant information.
Ernie’s quick-thinking and calmness in the
face of an emergency is remarkable!
DFS Venture Singapore (Burberry)
Lloyd Paul De Belen Bernabe
dnata Singapore
A passenger could not get onto his
connecting flight. Desperate, he
approached Lloyd for help. Lloyd
quickly helped to search for the best
flight option, liaised with the airline
representative, purchased the ticket and
issued the boarding pass – soon, he sent
the passenger on his way to his final
destination, Lahore. The passenger later
called Lloyd an “angel of mercy”.
Indera Putra Bin Ahmad
LS Travel Retail Singapore (Hugo Boss)
As a customer did not have enough time
to try on a belt he was interested in, he
requested for Indera to reserve it. Upon his
return, he was surprised to find his order,
already altered to fit him, waiting for him.
The customer was very impressed with
Indera’s extraordinary service, friendliness
and professional attitude.
Muhammad Shairul Bin
Kaharuddin
AirAsia
Muhammad Shairul assisted a passenger
who had left his handphone in the taxi. He
dialed the passenger’s number and found
the driver, who thankfully was at Arrival.
Shairul ran to retrieve the phone as the
passenger was due to board his flight in
20 minutes. Impressed by his service, the
passenger commended Shairul.

From left to right:
Cethar Krishnan, Lim Gui Hui, Sharifah Binte Ali, Bhanu Kumari (dnata Singapore)
A heavily pregnant Mrs Parveen had missed her flight. However, she could not speak English and
had difficulty relating her problems. Bhanu and Cethar called a friend who could speak Hindi to
explain the flight situation. They realised Mrs Parveen was very worried as she has no relatives
in Singapore or any money.
When Sharifah discovered that Mrs Parveen had not yet eaten, she gave her some refreshments.
She also searched for an old Nokia phone charger to lend the customer. Meanwhile, Bhanu
and Gui Hui helped to look for other suitable flights. They managed to secure a seat on Thai
Airways for her. They arranged for Mrs Parveen to board her flight the next day.

Passenger Ms Albuleria was offloaded due to a visa issue. SOS Nisha then asked for her
employer’s number to make further arrangements. However, Ms Albuleria could not speak
English. SOE Ira, who is fluent in Tagalog, stepped in. Ira emailed the employer and called
the agent in Lebanon. Unfortunately, the Lebanon embassy was closed so they could only
send the updated visa the following day. As Ms Albuleria had no money, Nisha bought
refreshments for her. Ronald also treated the passenger to dinner and kept her company.
CEA Carl then showed her to the resting areas. With the Duty Terminal Manager’s assistance,
he gave her Changi Dollar Vouchers.
The next day, Nisha, Carl and CEA Jansen successfully booked a new flight for Ms Albuleria.
Jansen also assisted the passenger until she departed for her flight. Ms Albuleria was
touched by everyone’s effort.

A star-studded night: celebrities
Michelle Chong and Pornsak
brought on the laughter with
their relentless banter.
Cue the balloons and birthday cake! Changi
Airport Group (CAG) celebrated its fifth
birthday on 1 July 2014. The theme of the
birthday bash was “Dream Big” and true to
word, we went all out!
Kicking off the week-long fiesta was an
exhibition at the Multi-Purpose Hall,
showcasing CAG’s achievements and key
milestones since corporatisation. Staff also
got to take part in a sure-win ‘Be a Changi
Millionaire’ instant draw!
So you want to
be an airport

Hands up
for the winner!
Boundless fun followed, thanks to a lineup of interactive booths, trivia quizzes
and learning journeys. The excitement
culminated in the “Dream Big” celebration
held at Marina Bay Cruise Centre on 1
August. For one night only, the venue was
transformed into a party zone as CAG staff
gathered for a night of revelry.
Now, let us reminisce with these photos!

gifts the goodies to the lucky winners!
What’s a birthday party without

Adrenaline, sweat and victories.
That could only mean one thing: the

The badminton teams from CAG (Gold) and CAAS (Silver)
were all smiles after their wins.
A tradition since 1996, the biennial
event saw SATS stepping up to
play the gracious host this year.
Participants from 13 agencies pitted
their skills and competed in 10
different sports, from electronic darts
and 9-ball pool to golf and even
dragon boat.
After a gruelling two-month battle,
SATS, having clinched 4 Gold, 3 Silver
and 7 Bronze medals, was crowned
the Champion!
All suited up and ready to row!

“
one changi
We may earn a lot of money
but it is all for nothing if we
lose our lives at work due to
a lack of safety.
— Daniel Cheong
Assistant Manager, SATS (Safety)
“
“Here comes safety, better work safely!” This is a tease that SATS’
Assistant Manager Daniel Cheong sometimes hears. And it is no
wonder, for the 57-year-old has been involved in the safety scene
for over 30 years.
ONE Changi sits down with the (seemingly) gentle soul and peels
back the layers of a life that revolves around safety.
A life-changing incident
I was eight days into my job at a construction
firm many years ago when an unfortunate
incident took the lives of two workers. What I
saw at the scene had a great impact on me. It
was then I realised the importance of safety.
His safety philosophy
Each of us is responsible for our own safety.
Going beyond that, as colleagues, we should
look after each other’s safety at work too.
I appreciate the occasional warnings and
alerts others had taken the effort to tell
me. They saved me from untold pain and
suffering. Life is wonderful especially when
we have the health to enjoy it, along with a
sound mind and a healthy body. And safety
at work certainly contributes to it.
The ‘SATS’ Moment
At SATS, safety is our number one priority
and we reinforce this by having ‘SATS’
moments before a meeting. ‘SATS’ in this
case stands for ‘Safety At The Start’. Any one
is encouraged to share safety tips observed
at home or at work so as to raise awareness.
Channelling his inner detective
Whenever there is an incident, my team
and I will have to find the root cause(s) and
recommend preventive measures. To do this,
we conduct investigations and interviews.
People have different sides to a story and
we have to piece them together to arrive at
what actually happened. Sooner or later, the
pieces fall into place… (quips) At times I feel
like Sherlock Holmes.
A friendly face in a time of need
Sometimes, when I am on my walkabouts,
someone would come up to me and say,
“Hey! Thanks for visiting me when I was
hospitalised!” They show their appreciation.
A few of them worry that their incidents
would cost them their jobs. Hence, I try
to assure them and also give chances if it
was not an act of willful negligence. My
rewarding job moments come in the form
of seeing my colleagues well again. They
follow guidelines and become an advocate
for safety.
Everyone has a wild side
I was not always so risk-averse. I was
rather gung-ho (enthusiastic) when I was
young. Back in the 1970s, my friends
and I used to hitchhike as well as go
mountaineering. Lorry drivers would
stop and give us a lift to Penang or
Ipoh! I don’t think I will dare to do that
today (laughs).
The biggest risk he took
Sending my elder son off to Perth
to study veterinary. I was worried
that I had to sell the house and car
and do away with the domestic
helper just to make ends meet.
What made me decide to go for
it was a desire to give him an
opportunity to succeed in life.
Six years on, we are still coping!
Did You Know?
Before every flight, a team of ground handlers from SATS
works tirelessly round the clock to ensure the plane is in
ready condition for take-off. When an aircraft lands, they
retrieve the luggage, clean up and load new luggage and
fresh food for the next flight – the turnaround time for an
aircraft is about 1 hour or less!
“Even a one-minute delay can have a domino effect.
That’s why we need to do our tasks speedily, smoothly
and safely too!”
