NKF hargai tujuh firma gajikan pesakit ginjal Majikan tawar masa kerja fleksibel agar pesakit dapat jalani rawatan �NUR DHUHA ESOOF nurdhuha@sph.com.sg TUJUH syarikat diberi penghargaan oleh Yayasan Buah Pinggang Kebangsaan (NKF) semalam kerana mengambil atau mengekalkan pesakit ginjal sebagai pekerja mereka. Syarikat itu – Kentucky Fried Chicken Management, McDonald’s Singapore, SIA Engineering Company, Singapore Power, S.K. Rosenbauer, UTC Aerospace Systems dan Wing Tai Holdings – diiktiraf kerana menyokong pesakit ginjal dengan menawarkan masa kerja fleksibel agar pesakit dapat menjalani rawatan yang diperlukan. Mereka menerima Anugerah Majikan Luar Biasa daripada tetamu terhormat, Menteri Tenaga Manusia, Encik Tan Chuan-Jin, dalam acara yang diadakan di Pusat NKF di Kim Keat Road itu. Sembilan Anugerah Keberanian turut disampaikan pada majlis penyampaian tersebut kepada pesakit ginjal yang terus aktif dan memberi sumbangan kepada tempat kerja masing-masing walaupun mempunyai masalah kesihatan. Tiga daripada penerima anugerah itu ialah Encik Johari Marzuki, 54 tahun; Encik Mohamed Hairi Bahari, 53 tahun; dan Encik Muhammad Aliwara, 49 tahun. NKF berkata lebih 700 pesakitnya mempunyai pekerjaan sepenuh atau separuh masa. Mereka perlu diberi masa menjalani dialisis tiga kali seminggu, dengan setiap sesi memakan masa sehingga empat jam. Menurut Encik Johari, yang telah 39 tahun berkhidmat bersama Singapore Power, majikannya menawarkan susunan kerja fleksibel bagi memberinya masa menjalani dialisis. Namun, pegawai teknikal kanan yang mengalami penyakit ginjal sejak 23 tahun lalu itu memilih menjalani rawatan pada sebelah malam kerana tidak mahu mengganggu operasi di tempat kerjanya. “Saya kerja dari 8 pagi hingga 5 petang. Kemudian saya ke pusat dialisis untuk menjalani rawatan dari 6.30 petang hingga 11 malam. Memang penatlah tapi dah jadi rutin hidup saya sekarang,” kata Encik Johari yang merupakan satu-satunya pesakit ginjal di Singapore Power buat masa ini. Pengarah Pengurusan syarikat itu, Encik Peter Leong, berkata pihaknya gembira melihat mutu kerja Encik Johari tidak terjejas walaupun beliau perlu kerap menjalani dialisis. Semasa ditemui media pada hujung acara, Encik Tan berkata beliau berharap syarikat dapat memberi penekanan kepada kesihatan di tempat kerja dan tidak hanya kepada keselamatan pekerja. “Jika syarikat memberi tumpuan kepada kesihatan menyeluruh pekerja mereka, ia akan membawa perbezaan ketara,” kata Encik Tan. Acara semalam turut meraikan ulang tahun pertama Program Sokongan Pesakit NKF yang menyediakan sokongan dan kaunseling kepada pesakit ginjal. Seramai 129 penyokong pesakit menyertai program tersebut sejak ia diperkenalkan dan mereka telah membantu 780 pesakit sejauh ini.

Media Release Electricity Tariff Revision for the Period 1 October to 31 December 2024 Singapore, 30 September 2024 – For the period from 1 October to 31 December 2024, the electricity tariff (before GST) for households will decrease by 2.6% or 0.78 cent per kWh compared with the previous quarter due to lower energy costs. The average monthly electricity bill for families living in HDB four-room flats will decrease by $3.00 (before GST). Electricity tariffs (before GST), including tariffs for non-households, will decrease by an average of 2.5% or 0.70 cent per kWh compared with the previous quarter. SP Group reviews the electricity tariffs every quarter based on guidelines set by the electricity industry regulator, Energy Market Authority (EMA). The electricity tariffs may fluctuate quarter to quarter due to volatile global fuel prices. Please refer to Appendix 1 for the components of the electricity tariff, Appendix 2 for the electricity tariffs approved by EMA, and Appendix 3 for the average monthly electricity bill for households. Appendix 1 BREAKDOWN OF ELECTRICITY TARIFF The electricity tariff consists of the following four components: Energy costs (paid to the generation companies): This component is adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in the cost of fuel and power generation. The fuel cost is the cost of imported natural gas, which is tied to oil prices by commercial contracts. The cost of power generation covers mainly the costs of operating the power stations, such as the manpower and maintenance costs, as well as the capital cost of the stations. Network costs (paid to SP Group): This is to recover the cost of transporting electricity through the power grid. Market Support Services Fee (paid to SP Group): This is to recover the costs of billing and meter reading, data management, retail market systems as well as market development initiatives. Market Administration and Power System Operation Fee (paid to Energy Market Company and Power System Operator): This fee is reviewed annually to recover the costs of operating the electricity wholesale market and power system.   Q4 2024 TARIFF FOR HOUSEHOLDS (before 9% GST) Appendix 2 ELECTRICITY TARIFFS FROM 1 OCTOBER 2024 Appendix 3 AVERAGE MONTHLY ELECTRICITY BILLS FOR HOUSEHOLDS TARIFF WEF 1 OCTOBER 2024 (before GST)

SP Energy HubAnnual ReportReliabilitySustainabilityInnovation Protecting Our Underground Network RELIABILITY Principal Engineer James Ou and his team conduct checks on worksites to ensure electricity cables and gas pipes are not compromised. When a patrol officer from SP Group’s Earthworks Surveillance & Patrolling (ESP) section pulled up at a Whampoa West construction worksite in November last year, what he did not expect to find was an excavated trench right over one of SP’s 230kV transmission cables – and a water pipe laid above it. The checks by ESP had uncovered the non-compliance of a contractor who was not following the approved plans they submitted to SP previously. Beyond the works themselves, leaks, condensation or breaks in the water pipe could pose a threat to the high voltage electricity cable below, and cause a power outage. SP’s critical electricity cables and gas pipes – networks spanning 11,500km and over 28,000km respectively – are buried underground. At the same time, across Singapore, there are always ongoing works for various construction projects. “That is why we carefully manage and monitor all excavation works – it minimises the risk of an electricity disruption or a gas leak,” explained Principal Engineer, James Ou, who heads ESP and oversees a team of almost 60. Detect and protect: Technical officer Mohamed Saiful Matsaid (left) uses a cable locator to detect electricity cables hidden underground as Principal Engineer James Ou (right) marks out the path of the cable. Mr Ou, who is 36 and studied electrical engineering, joined SP in 2008. He worked in electricity operations and maintenance before assuming his current role in November 2017. Now, he prevents problems instead of fixing them. In the case mentioned, the contractor of another organisation had conducted unauthorised work. Timely intervention averted damage, but the site’s Registered Excavator Operator was still suspended from excavation work for three months. The Energy Market Authority also took action against the contractor. Damage control: When contractors do not comply with requirements, Earthworks Surveillance and Patrol officers will issue a “stop-work” order. The incident highlights the critical role SP’s compliance officers play in keeping Singapore’s electricity and gas supply humming – especially against its booming construction landscape. Despite the acronym, the ESP team doesn’t rely on a sixth sense to warn them of danger. Instead they enforce stringent requirements, as well as rigorous and frequent checks on every worksite. 15 patrol officers in the team of close to 60 Earthworks Surveillance and Patrol Officers cover a total distance of 360,000km – or nine trips around the earth – each year. That’s an average of 135 worksites a single patroller visits each month, said Mr Ou. Checks are frequent – for sites close to gas pipes, checks are conducted daily. For transmission cables over 66kV, checks are conducted three times a week. There are many bases to cover. All contractors need to submit a notice of commencement of earthworks (NCE) seven days before they are scheduled to begin. They are also briefed on precautions and mitigation measures onsite by ESP officers. SP is also consulted on high-risk earthwork sites to ensure nothing is missed. This minimises the risk of damage.   During site meetings conducted by ESP officers, all requirements are covered, and SP patrollers ensure they are followed. Senior officers like Mr Ou will also join patrols or attend briefings to ensure contractors get clear and complete guidance. Part of the team: SP Earthworks Surveillance and Patrol officers join site briefings and guide contractors and workmen on how to best to protect critical cables and underground pipes during works. Most contractors do take compliance seriously, says Mr Ou. “Sometimes, it is subcontractors that just don’t know the procedures, or shift the location of their work, and it poses a risk,” he said. The team’s diligent checks and contractors’ compliance with regulations minimises that risk. This protects both our critical infrastructure and the workers at these sites. Getting the job done right requires a “high-trust” environment, and the same openness and teamwork demanded by sports, says Mr Ou, who plays football in an amateur league on weekends. He also conducts monthly huddles with his team, and encourages all officers regardless of rank to speak freely if they have suggestions or spot anything amiss. “I recognise it is important to have each other’s back when working on something critical, and to come together as a team. “Everyone has a part to play and can add value.” — 11 July 2019 TAGS PEOPLE OF SPRELIABILITY YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO READ Engineer, 27, shares how she is undaunted by male-dominated energy industry & climbs the ranks Lighting the way: Following in his father’s footsteps to keep S’pore’s power grid running 24/7 How this technical officer and robot SPock hunt hazards to protect Singapore’s power tunnels

Media Release Electricity Tariff Revision For The Period 1 July to 30 Sep 2023 Singapore, 30 June 2023 – For the period from 1 July to 30 September 2023, electricity tariff (before GST) will increase by an average of 1.2% or 0.31 cent per kWh compared with the previous quarter.

The electricity tariff consists of the following four components: Energy costs (paid to the generation companies): This component is adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in the cost of fuel and power generation. The fuel cost is the cost of imported natural gas, which is tied to oil prices by commercial contracts. The cost of power generation covers mainly the costs of operating the power stations, such as the manpower and maintenance costs, as well as the capital cost of the stations. Network costs (paid to SP Group): This is to recover the cost of transporting electricity through the power grid. Market Support Services Fee (paid to SP Group): This is to recover the costs of billing and meter reading, data management, retail market systems as well as market development initiatives. Market Administration and Power System Operation Fee (paid to Energy Market Company and Power System Operator): This fee is reviewed annually to recover the costs of operating the electricity wholesale market and power system.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 2013 Careers in Engineering Packing a lot of power Principal engineer Chan Hong Jiang relishes the unpredictable challenges that he faces in his job at Singapore Power by suresh nair PRINCIPAL engineer Chan Hong Jiang enjoys challenges and switches on when there is a major blackout. Thankfully, it is not often that power outages occur here and Singapore has one of the fewest and shortest power outages of cities worldwide, as rated by international industry indices, thanks to Singapore Power’s world-class electricity and gas transmission, distribution and market support services. “When a power outage occurs, the immediate concern is to restore the supply to affected customers safely and quickly,” says Mr Chan, 32, who has worked for seven years with Singapore Power, which covers over a million Singapore industrial and domestic customers. His team looks after the operations and maintenance of electricity distribution networks in the southern region of Singapore, which covers the Orchard Road shopping belt, Sentosa and the Central Business District area. The daily work, which he calls an unpredictable challenge, includes maintenance, repair and renewal of power equipment such as switchgear, transformers and power cables of various voltages from 400V up to 66kV deployed in the various electrical substations. “We also have to respond expeditiously to any power outages or incidents that occur at any time and restore electrical supply to affected customers,” he adds. “I have been here seven years, there is never a typical day at work. I’m always learning and growing in my job.” He relishes “bigger challenges” in national and regional projects, citing the National Day Parade (NDP) 2010 and Guangzhou 2010 Asian Games which “gave me the chance to hone my technical skills”. His role in the technical support committee for NDP 2010 was to ensure there were no power outages in the vicinity of the surrounding parade area and to have quick restoration of power supply in the event of any supply failure. Going to Guangzhou for a week for the Asian Games was “another breathtaking challenge” after China Southern Power Grid wanted condition monitoring work on the power supply infrastructure for the Guangzhou Asian Games. “I was part of the team carrying out cable diagnostic tests on the Guangzhou power network. During the trip, we shared our experience in condition monitoring with our counterparts and I also learnt about their work processes and network equipment. This was indeed an eyeopening experience.” Mr Chan studied at Raffles Institution and Victoria Junior College, after which he earned a degree in electrical engineering at the National University of Singapore. He joined SP Power- Grid soon after graduation and was posted to the Regional Network South as an executive engineer. His work philosophy is delivering quality work without looking at the clock. He says: “I think one key quality is the willingness to go the extra mile to ensure that the work carried out is up to mark. Any slip-up will not only affect the company’s performance, but could also potentially affect a very large customer base or in the worst case, cause a safety hazard to the public.” We also have to respond expeditiously to any power outages or incidents that occur at any time and restore electrical supply to affected customers. I have been here seven years, there is never a typical day at work. I’m always learning and growing in my job. — Mr Chan Hong Jiang, principal engineer, Singapore Power He is appreciative that his wife, Candy Ho, 29, a financial planner, supports his “unpredictable and challenging work hours”. “Occasionally I have to work at night and during weekends to handle emergency repairs or electricity supply shutdowns which take place only when the customer premises are empty,” he says. “My wife is very understanding and offers a lot of encouragement and support. This spurs me on to complete my work quickly and safely so that I can go back to my family as soon as possible.” His role model is his 62-year-old father, Mr Chan Teck Chua, whose work attitude, despite minimal education, was exemplary as an auxiliary salesman. “My father, a quiet and humble man, has been a good role model for me,” he says. “Although he did not receive much education and did not have a well-paying job, he worked very hard and lived frugally to provide for the family, something which he did very well and with much pride. I am trying to do the same for my wife and, in the future, for my kids.” Mr Chan’s work philosophy is delivering quality work without looking at the clock. PHOTO: CHONG JUN LIANG
