MNRA Newsletter - 2014 Apr

Date  :1st April  2014

Dear members

Two weeks ago, we had our 4^thAnnual General Meeting which was held on 14^th March 2014,  attended by 60 members.  A big thank you to all those who turned for the Annual General Meeting, and for those who could not make it, we still thank you for your support.

 Puan Zainun Nur bt Abdul Rauf, Group Corporate Affairs Director, represented Mr Alois Hofbauer, Managing Director and Ms Uzma Butt, Group Human Resource Director at the AGM.  We are very appreciative of Nestlé  Management’s continued support to MNRA, and for this year our annual grant is increased  from RM5,000 to RM8,000.

 Main matters discussed at the AGM were:-

-        Emergency fund for medical expenses on request by Nestlé Retiree – to be further deliberated with Nestlé Management.

-        Pension adjustment  to be approved by the  Trustees of the Pension Fund Board before final  approval by Nestlé  in Switzerland.

-        Staff purchase issues.

-        Resolution to admit ex Nestlé  staff who have served more than 10 years, and who are now more than  55 years old.  This category of staff left the Company due to retrenchment or restructuring exercise.
