Stability and change was in the air on March 11th, at MNRA’s AGM for the term 2015
to 2017. The morning started off with the usual noisy catch - ups and “long time no see” greetings hurled across the Maggi Kitchen, when Retirees happily greeted each other and exchanged news and opinions about on many topics, themselves included !
The AGM kicked off with an opening speech from the Managing Director Mr. Alois Hofbauer,
who touched upon how the business was progressing. Highlights included a 4% growth in 2014,an increase of the Nestle Consumer Foodbasket share to 15%, Nestle Confectionery now overtaking a key competitor, and the domestic business doing well, despite tough challenges.

A big challenge was the drop in the export business, due primarily to export markets now building their own manufacturing facilities. All the above said, however, 2015 is expected to be tough and a “survival year”.
On a topic close to our hearts, GHRD Director Ms Uzma Butt explained how the Pension Fund is managed and funded, and the process of Pension reviews. Uzma shared that the Pensions Board will meet in late March 2015 and discuss pension concerns raised by Retirees. More news thereafter !

Elections were next, with two reminders from Mohd Shah Hashim – “choose carefully and wisely” and “don’t change a winning team”. 54 Retirees present voted in exactly that – a new committee for 2015-2017, comprising a good mix of old and new.
