PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
President’s Message

                                                              We heralded 2018 with a big bang!

                                                              Building a skilled PCM workforce
                                                              On 5 January 2018, the 7,900 bed-space ASPRI-Westlite Dormitory-Papan was
                                                              officially opened by Deputy Prime Minister Mr. Tharman Shanmugaratnam. This
                                                              event marks a significant milestone for ASPRI. Through our integrated training
                                                              centre, ASPRI-Institute of Process Industry (ASPRI-IPI), training division of ASPRI,
                                                              is now able to improve the Productivity and Skills of the Process Construction and
                                                              Maintenance (PCM) workforce.

                                      Early results have been encouraging, for the calendar year of 2017, ASPRI-IPI, has delivered a total of
                                      125,000 training hours, a four-fold increase from prior shifting to ASPRI Integrated Training Centre (AITC).
                                      More than 3,300 residents have also received trainings at AITC.

                                      Moving ahead, ASPRI-IPI will continue to evolve and meet the training needs of the industry. We have since
                                      signed a Memorandum of Collaboration (MOC) with the Singapore Polytechnic to co-develop a training
                                      framework for field supervisors and foremen to further extend our skills development programme. In
                                      addition, ASPRI-IPI has collaborated with ExxonMobil and Shell to host safety induction courses at AITC,
                                      bringing greater convenience to our members and residents.

                                      Transformation Map for the future
                                      The launch of Singapore’s Energy and Chemicals Industry Transformation Map (ITM) in October 2017
                                      marks a renewed commitment to position this sector for the future.

                                      The ITM details Singapore’s plan to transform its existing base of chemicals manufacturing through the
                                      adoption of innovative Advanced Manufacturing technologies; where productivity improvements and
                                      resources optimisation have been identified as critical success factors in this transformation journey.

                                      We are now in the final year of the 3 year Productivity Project with Construction Industry Institute (CII)
                                      and various work groups are concluding their analysis and benchmarking activities, most of which
                                      should be completed before the end of this year. We will continue to outreach to members to advocate
                                      adoption of available tools and trainings to further raise their productivity level.

                                      Our collective productivity improvement efforts in the face of economic slowdown have not gone
                                      unnoticed. We are relieved that the government has in its 2018 Budget left the foreign workers levy for
                                      our sector unchanged. We must work together and strive to improve our productivity thereby enhancing
                                      Singapore’s competitiveness as a viable Energy and Chemicals Hub.
  ASPRI Year-in-Review for AGM 2018

                                      On behalf of the 11th Executive Council, I would like to thank all our fellow members, the government,
                                      stakeholders and industry partners for their continued cooperation and support during the last financial
                                      year. Our appreciation also goes out to all our secretariat and training staff for their unceasing efforts to
                                      better serve our members.

                                              for its members on 5 October 2017. Members could better understand various government grants available to
                                              defray some of their recruitment and manpower costs for better attraction and retention of local talents.

                                        The seminar was well attended by mainly HR practitioners
                                        whom happily took away useful information from Ms. Jannisis
                                        Loo, Deputy Director, Career Services from SiT, who presented

                                        At the end of the seminar, the participants were engaged in a
                                        networking reception where they mingled with their industry
                                        peers to share tacit HR knowledge and good practices.

Singapore’s First Integrated Dormitory Advocating Live,

          Learn and Play Officially Opened, 5 January 2018

O
      n 5 January 2018, ASPRI in partnership with Centurion Corporation
      Limited and Lian Beng Group celebrated the Official Opening of
      ASPRI-Westlite Dormitory – Papan which was graced by Deputy
Prime Minister Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam, Coordinating Minister for
Economic and Social Policies.

Located at Jalan Papan, in close proximity to Jurong Island, the
development aims to improve
productivity and alleviates
workers’ fatigue through
reduction in commuting
time by bringing training
right to their doorsteps.
Success was evident when
the 7,900 bed spaces reached
almost full occupancy in
less than a year after launch.
Industry stakeholders such as
Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), International Enterprise
(IE) Singapore (now part of Enterprise Singapore), JTC Corporation,
Ministry of Manpower (MOM), SPRING Singapore (now part of Enterprise
Singapore), Workforce Singapore (WSG), Workplace Safety Health
Council (WSHC) and plant owners such as Chemical Specialties, Chevron,
Eastman Chemical Singapore, Evonik, ExxonMobil, Mitsui Chemicals,
Petrochemical Corporation of Singapore (PCS), Singapore Refining
Company (SRC), Shell; as well as industry partners from institutes of
higher learning, trade associations also joined in the celebrations.

Guest-of-Honour DPM Tharman commended the good work done by
ASPRI since the inception of the Process Construction and Maintenance
Management Committee (PCMMC) in 2013, for taking the lead to
collaborate with government agencies to tackle challenges faced by
industry – “speeding up innovations, transforming productivity, ensuring
employees’ interests are served, and opening up new markets”. He cited
the dormitory as a good model of such collaboration.

DPM Tharman also lauded ASPRI for “forging public-private partnerships
to propel industry growth”, and Centurion Corporation and Lian Beng
Group for investing in the dormitory project to meet the industry’s
collective needs.

He highlighted that it was important that ASPRI had chosen to co-locate the ASPRI Integrated Training Centre (AITC)
within the development, as it gives a boon to the workers residing there so that they could enjoy heavily subsidised
training courses conveniently.                                                                                             ASPRI Year-in-Review for AGM 2018

     he purpose-built 7,900-bed ASPRI-Westlite Dormitory - Papan, which went into operation after the first batch of
     residents moved in last May, has achieved almost full occupancy.

An Advisory Board (AB), formed in Aug 2015, comprising of key representatives from plant owners and the ASPRI
Executive Council, provides strategic stewardship over the bed allocation system, dormitory services, price review and
the general welfare of the residents.
                                                                                                                              ASPRI Year-in-Review for AGM 2018

The three-storey complex sits on a land area of 14,817 sqm and has a built-up area of 50,378 sqm, with a 40,000 sqft
training centre; the ASPRI Integrated Training Centre (AITC) located in an annexe next to the main accommodation
building.

Built for the industry by the industry, the dormitory had been designed with the concept of having comprehensive
facilities to offer a practical “Live, Learn and Play” environment.

The concept encompasses the ideas of:
• Live: Greater wellbeing for residents to improve productivity by 12% and reduced fatigue through shorter
    travelling time
•   Learn: Total convenience at the door steps for residents to upgrade their skills, as the training centre is commited
    to provide at least 380,000 training hours of subsidised courses per year
•   Play: Enhanced mental wellbeing by fulfilling the workers’ social and recreational needs.

                                                                                                                           19
