Singapore govt, NTUC and Grab form work group to address illegal foreign delivery riders
SINGAPORE, July 5 — Singapore has formed a trilateral work group to address allegations of foreigners illegally taking on delivery jobs on platforms and affecting local platform workers' earnings. The Straits Times reported that the work group includes the Ministry of Manpower (MoM), Ministry of Transport (MoT), Grab Singapore, the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) and its affiliated associations. 'Our platform workers are vulnerable, as they face a variety of challenges in making a living. It is not right that they suffer from reduced earnings due to competition from illegal workers,' said NTUC secretary-general Ng Chee Meng. MoM and MoT said in a joint statement on July 4 that the group will be overseen by Senior Minister of State for Health and Manpower Koh Poh Koon, Senior Minister of State for National Development and Transport Sun Xueling, NTUC secretary-general Ng Chee Meng and Grab's group managing director of operations Yee Wee Tang. Ng had called on the government on July 4 to form such a work group to address issues impacting platform workers, who contract with platform operators mainly for ride hailing and delivery work. Platform workers in Singapore include private-hire drivers for companies like Grab and Gojek, and delivery riders for services like GrabFood, foodpanda and Deliveroo. NTUC said it had received feedback about foreigners misusing accounts to take on delivery jobs illegally, despite platform work being restricted to Singaporeans. The union noted that while platform operators can outsource delivery jobs to companies that may hire foreigners with work permits, there have been cases of foreigners working illegally without permits. 'This creates illegal or unfair competition for our delivery workers, and it has a direct impact on their earnings,' NTUC said. NTUC added that platform workers already face challenges such as income instability, driven by uncertainty over job allocation and earnings determined by algorithms. The labour movement said platform companies' incentive schemes encourage longer working hours, which can lead to safety concerns. It also noted that unauthorised ride-hailing services on platforms like Telegram have reduced the earnings of private-hire drivers in the past year. MoM and MoT said the group will collectively address these challenges and safeguard workers' well-being amid the rapidly evolving platform economy. The ministries said Grab's participation sends a strong signal of platform operators' commitment to collaborate with the government and NTUC to address these issues. They added that discussions may later include other platform operators. A Grab spokesman said the company is committed to working with the government, NTUC and other platform operators to stamp out illegal delivery services and protect platform workers' livelihoods. Grab said it has measures in place to prevent foreigners from registering as platform workers and will work within the group to co-develop best practices. The ministries said the group will serve as a regular platform for the government to support efforts that may require regulatory action. In a Facebook post, Ng said NTUC and its associations have championed the rights of platform workers through the Platform Workers Act, which came into effect in 2025. Ng added that more must be done quickly as challenges such as foreigners illegally doing delivery jobs make it harder for platform workers to earn a stable income.

Regulators warn Air India Express over delayed Airbus engine fix, forged records
The engine issue in Air India Express's Airbus was raised months before the June Boeing Dreamliner crash in Ahmedabad. (EPA Images pic) NEW DELHI : India's aviation watchdog reprimanded Air India's budget carrier in March for not timely changing engine parts of an Airbus A320 as directed by the EU's aviation safety agency, and falsifying records to show compliance, a government memo showed. In a statement, Air India Express told Reuters it acknowledged the error to the Indian watchdog and undertook 'remedial action and preventive measures'. Air India has been under intense scrutiny since the June Boeing Dreamliner crash in Ahmedabad which killed all but one of the 242 people onboard. The world's worst aviation disaster in a decade is still being investigated. The engine issue in the Air India Express's Airbus was raised on March 18, months before the crash. However, the regulator has this year also warned parent Air India for breaching rules for flying three Airbus planes with overdue checks on escape slides, and in June warned it about 'serious violations' of pilot duty timings. Air India Express is a subsidiary of Air India, which is owned by the Tata Group. It has more than 115 aircraft and flies to more than 50 destinations, with 500 daily flights. The EU Aviation Safety Agency in 2023 issued an airworthiness directive to address a 'potential unsafe condition' on CFM International LEAP-1A engines, asking for replacement of some components such as engine seals and rotating parts, saying some manufacturing deficiencies had been found. The agency's directive said 'this condition, if not corrected, could lead to failure of affected parts, possibly resulting in high energy debris release, with consequent damage to, and reduced control of, the aeroplane.' The Indian government's confidential memo in March sent to the airline, seen by Reuters, said that surveillance by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) revealed the parts modification 'was not complied' on an engine of an Airbus A320 'within the prescribed time limit'. 'In order to show that the work has been carried out within the prescribed limits, the AMOS records have apparently been altered/forged,' the memo added, referring to the Aircraft Maintenance and Engineering Operating System software used by airlines to manage maintenance and airworthiness. The 'mandatory' modification was required on Air India Express' VT-ATD plane, the memo added. That plane typically flies on domestic routes and some international destinations such as Dubai and Muscat, according to the AirNav Radar website. The lapse 'indicates that accountable manager has failed to ensure quality control,' it added. Air India Express told Reuters its technical team missed the scheduled implementation date for parts replacement due to the migration of records on its monitoring software, and fixed the problem soon after it was identified. It did not give dates of compliance or directly address DGCA's comment about records being altered, but said that after the March memo it took 'necessary administrative actions', which included removing the quality manager from their position and suspending the deputy continuing airworthiness manager. The DGCA and the European safety agency did not respond to Reuters queries. Airbus and CFM International, a joint venture between General Electric and Safran, also did not respond. 'The lapse was first flagged during a DGCA audit in October 2024 and the plane in question took only a few trips after it was supposed to replace the CFM engine parts,' a source with direct knowledge said. 'Such issues should be fixed immediately. It's a grave mistake. The risk increases when you are flying over sea or near restricted airpsace,' said Vibhuti Singh, a former legal expert at the India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau. The Indian government told parliament in February that authorities warned or fined airlines in 23 instances for safety violations last year. Three of those cases involved Air India Express, and eight Air India.

After Prada ‘sandal scandal', Indian brands tap heritage pride to boost sales
MUMBAI, July 4 — Indian footwear sellers and artisans are tapping into nationalist pride stoked by the Prada 'sandal scandal' in a bid to boost sales of ethnic slippers with history dating back to the 12th century, raising hopes of reviving a struggling craft. Sales are surging over the past week for the 'Kolhapuri' sandals that have garnered global attention after Prada sparked a controversy by showcasing similar designs in Milan, without initially crediting the footwear's origins. After viral photos from a fashion show drew criticism from Indian artisans who make the sandals — named after a historic city in Maharashtra state — Prada was forced to acknowledge that its new open-toe footwear was inspired by ancient Indian designs. 'Prada 0: Kolhapur 1,' said an Instagram post by e-commerce website Shopkop, whose founder Rahul Parasu Kamble's open letter to Prada pointing out the footwear is 'soaked in tradition' was reshared 36,000 times on social media. 'I saw the controversy as a way to promote Kolhapuri,' said Kamble, 33, who has seen sales of sandals he sources from local artisans touch 50,000 rupees (RM2,472) in three days, five times the average. Social media has been abuzz in recent days with criticism and sarcastic memes, with politicians, artisans and a trade body demanding due credit to Indian heritage. Prada has said it will arrange follow-up meetings with artisans. In a statement to Reuters on Tuesday, it added the Italian group intends to make the sandals in India in collaboration with local manufacturers, if it commercialises them. 'Breezy ads, big discounts' India's luxury market is small but growing, with the rich splurging on Lamborghini cars and pricey watches. Prada does not have a single retail store in India and its products are usually reserved for the super rich — its men's leather sandals start retailing at US$844 (RM3,565), while Kolhapuris can be priced as low as US$12. But linking of the Prada name to the Kolhapuri sandals, which are made by around 7,000 artisans, is providing a business opportunity for some. Mumbai-based Ira Soles is running new Facebook and Instagram advertisements which proclaim its US$32 'Tan Handcrafted Kolhapuris just walked the ramp at Prada ... Limited stock. Global spotlight. Own a piece of what the world is applauding.' E-commerce website Niira is offering up to 50 per cent discounts on its Kolhapuri slippers it says are 'rooted in tradition'. Its sales of US$18 sandals, that looked like the one Prada showcased in Milan, have tripled, founder Nishant Raut said. 'Why can't an Indian Kolhapuri brand become as big as a Birkenstock,' he said. Handmade in small factories, Kolhapuri sandals, or chappals as they are called in Hindi, are often paired with Indian attire. Similar designs are sold in big outlets of Bata India and Metro Brands, and also on Amazon and Walmart's Flipkart. In 2021, India's government said the sandals could achieve US$1 billion a year in exports. Though latest estimates are not available, artisans say the business has struggled as consumers increasingly opt for more fashionable, upmarket footwear. Still, the Prada controversy is breathing new life into a craft that Lalit Gandhi, president of Maharashtra's main industry lobby group, says is 'a dying art'. Gandhi said he is in talks with Prada to develop a co-branded, limited-edition sandal. Kolhapur craftsman Ashok Doiphode, 50, is pinning hopes on a Prada boost. He hand-stitches sandals for nine hours daily but can sell a pair for just 400 rupees (US$5). 'If big companies like Prada come, craftsman like me can get a good price.' — Reuters
