SIA Girl Knelt To Apologise

long face and poured the drink to the glass like the one pouring teh-taleh!

I have asked her why she was so worked up and she didn't answer me and ignored me, like she was the one who was victimised by me. WTF! if I was an ang mo, perhaps she would offer me another can of coke?!:mad::mad::mad:

Sg Girls are nice to foreigners, especially ang mos, not the local yellow skin or dark complexioned brothers. No wonder they were valued highly as they focused their services to certain priviledge people at the cost of the locals.

Correct me if I am wrong.:mad:

This is absolutely true. I flew SQ one time and was seated next to an Angmo. When the stewardess came to take our drink orders, I ask for a coke, and he asked for a hard liquor dink that required mixing. He got his drink 15 mins before mine. WTF. I would have thought getting a can of coke would be much faster. I think it has to do with their training and attitude. Singaporeans are "expected" to fly SQ out of loyalty or some national pride shit like that, so they don't have to be treated well.

A PUB-recommended contractor repaired the leak, billed me $800 and said I could appeal to the PUB to reduce my water charges during the leak period. I received a polite reply this month granting me a 75 per cent waiver.

My points are as follows: My water consumption was monitored professionally so I could be alerted to an unexplained sudden rise. Second, PUB helped solve the problem by providing me with a reliable contractor. Third, the goodwill concession was commendable.

All that leaves me to say is thank you to PUB, but not to SIA.

Dr Jimmy Beng


The morale of the story is to learn from PUB. Charge the customer 4 times more and then give them discount 75%. Customer will be thankful and praise you.

SIA charge 4 times and cannot answer, sure kanna screwed! :biggrin:

After we settled in, I realised the flight was not full and that the bulkhead seats in the front compartment, usually given to passengers travelling with infants and young children, were empty but had been subsequently taken by an elderly passenger who was allowed to relocate from his assigned seat. I asked the chief stewardess for an explanation, telling her we had tried to get such seats but failed because they were indicated as occupied.

She could not explain and promised that management would reply to me. I gave her my business card and e-mail address, but have not heard from SIA since. My points are these: First, I paid probably the highest fares because of the peak travel season. Second, with a toddler and young child in tow, our seats were most difficult for us as a group. Third, SIA all but ignored my complaint without even the courtesy of an acknowledgement.



I find his story abit hard to swallow and very unreasonable to begin with.

The writer want an explanation on why the bulkhead seats in the front compartment are not allocated to him, but did he does so when he saw the seats were empty or after he notice the elderly couple was moved there befre he had a chance to be moved?

Certain seat request comes on a case to case basis and in this case, the writer has a weaker case comparing with the elderly couple. The writer might have a tddler and a child with him, but I m sure his wife is with him also, comparing with an elderly couple on their own with no one around to help if help is needed, the writer is inconsiderate.

The chief stewardess unfortunatly had become the innocent villain and the victim of the scorm of the writer. We dont know how he could have "bombarded" her with questions. Given any situation, as chief stewardess, i m sure she is well trained and experience enough to handle all seating and even company policy query. But when an answer is unsatisfactory, does that mean the chief stewardess was unable to answer?

The writer could have given the chief stewardess his namecard and expected a official reply from SIA, which he now claim he didnt receive. or perhaps he did get it but again, as its not to his liking, he didnt receive his "answers"?

This is my deduction.

This kind of mentality to look down upon own citizens and kowtow to foreigners is quite common every where! Think of this very very angry and cannot help but scold CCB to these banana people.

Two years ago, I wrote abt an incident when an SQ gal knelt to my friend to apologise for poor discriminatory service onboard an SQ flight.

Today Jimmy Beng wrote abt SIA's bad service. Looks like SIA has not changed or is it a case of "can bully Ah Beng"?

SIA finally apologises to Jimmy Beng in today's Straits Times

All flight stewards and stewardess are taught to either kneel or squat when talking to a seated customer this is in their training doctrine.

The stewards usually kneel on one knee and the stewardess on both knees.

SIA stewardesses were traning to kneel on both knees to passengers? That's submissiveness. Gals only kneel to their bfs and hubbies

You're rite... plus the frequent touching your arm to make you feel shiok, so don't complain further :biggrin:

The more adventurous ones bend down a bit so you can see half moons.. heheh

Yes, sometimes the best way to show your sincere apology is to show some skin. That will melt the man's heart and I am talking through experience

I just found out that you can't change flight in SIA China office if you book your flights in S'pore. Is that true?

My friend was furious after spending almost half an hour over an IDD call to SIA S'pore office to change his family flight back from Beijing as that moron doesn't know how to perform this simple task.

Another case of poor sia service?

Kneeling down to apologise is something to be taken very seriously but then it's part of their overall training to lower their body profile (as in humble submission) when attending to passengers' complaints or queries. This is part of the psychology of making you feel good and self-important.:biggrin::biggrin:
Therefore, when a stewardess kneels down to apologise and say, a stranger who has done u wrong kneels down to apologise, they are 2 different things. :wink:

what's the difference in sia gal kneeling to apologise and stranger kneeling to apologise? i thought both show a contrite and repentent heart

Very hard to see half moons because all SIA girls must fit small dress size, so most have very small breasts. Although not airport run ways or washing boards, they are mostly little better then road humps.

You must have seen the wrong SIA gals. These days the gals are better nourished and better developed

Talking abt half moons. I remember last year i took a sia flight to HKG. The stewardess serving our side is a indian. Quite chio. I remember she has to bend down to serve the foods and i can almost see full moon! Wat a sight!!
!&!!

That sounds like a typical SIA gal..daring, well developed and ready to serve

Most airlines train staff to squat or kneel down in a difficult situation for privacy reasons and so passengers nearby don't evesdrop. Thats common sense. I am sure when you apologise, you don't want the whole world to hear.

If the aisle was not narrow and the airline has the luxury of building a small office/room in the plane, they will invite the passenger to that room to apologise and you can bet your last dollar that no kneeling will take place. In this modern world, you can't expect slave like behaviour from anyone no matter what wrong they have done.

Tracy always had a powerful imagination.

In the service / corporate / business / commercial world no one kneels down to apologise. You only see this in family situation and in the movies. Eever heard a hotel waitress kneeling and apologising for spilling hot soup on you.

However did enjoy your psychology spiel - quite original.

In my friend's case, it was a show of remorse and she was begging him for forgiveness. It was not a case of privacy nor expediency

Most all other airline have their crew 1 knee down to give bad news. I asked for english Newspaper on a european airline the other day and was told by the stewardess there is none left, 1 knee down, after she went to check.

was she an European gal or asian gal?
