4. Membership
The objective for 2013 was to drive recruitment and to expand to the
other states to form Local Chapters so that all Retirees will have an
opportunity to get together and organize activities on their own with the
support of funds from MNRA and the Management Committee.
We are pleased to report
that we had a very successful recruitment drive during the year, and 4 new
Regions/Local Chapters were formed i.e. Johore Bahru Chapter, Sarawak Chapter,
Penang/Ipoh Chapter and Malacca Chapter.
Members were pleased as they had the opportunity to meet some of the
Management Committee Members and they were able to bring up some of their
problems faced such as:
·
Staff Purchase in the
branches – no staff price, no Distributor in their area.· Retiree Card replacement and upgrade to reflect Nestlé’s image.
· Placement of children as Interns in Nestlé Head Office and its factories.
· Medical Insurance and ride on Corporate Medical Rates in hospitals.
The Management Committee
promised to help resolve some of these issues where possible. If not, these
will be brought up to the Nestlé Management. It is anticipated that it may take
time as we need to meet up with HR Management on these issues.
The membership for MNRA
increased by 36% from 251 members to 359 as at 31stDecember 2013.
The increase is across the board with details are as follows:
Life Members : 342
Associate Members : 10
Honorary Members : 7
----------
TOTAL : 359
Of which Life Members are:
Selangor/Klang Valley - 269 Penang - 11 Sarawak - 8
Negri Sembilan - 10 Kedah - 5 Sabah - 4
Malacca - 12 Perak - 7
Johore Bahru - 15 Kelantan - 1
There will be continued efforts to recruit Retirees from the factories as they make up a major proportion of the Retirees population.

7. Activities
for 2013 (*** denotes new activities)
7.1 High Tea at Cititel Cafe, Mid Valley on 20th January 2013 with 80 Retirees enjoying the excellent buffet spread and meeting Encik Adnan Pawanteh .
7.2 Family “Bowling For Fun” Carnival rolled off on 24th Aug
2013*** at Sunway Pyramid with Mr Alois Hofbauer leading his team to
win first prize. Nestlé employees and Retirees clearly demonstrated the Nestlé
Family spirit in this event. A huge success which we would like to repeat in
2014.
7.3 High Tea for Factory Retirees on 29th Sept 2013
*** at Rumbia Coffee House, De Palma
Hotel, Shah Alam was well attended by more than 80 members and family. Again,
we had the presence of Encik Adnan Pawanteh, Technical Director and Ms Hee
Seijian, Factory Manager - Batu Tiga.
Each local Chapter is given
a grant of RM500 to start off with activities to recruit more members and to
get together. They can request for a bigger budget if so needed. So far, it has
been difficult to organize any activities as numbers are small but we are
hopeful for 2014.
Johore Bahru with Mr Yeap Swee
Lin as Chairman and Encik Rahman Mansor as Secretary.
Sarawak with Mr Raymond Teo as Chairman
supported by Mr Laurence Batin.
Penang and Ipoh is lead by Mr Lee Choo Yang and
supported by Mr Goh Seng Nam.

Yong.
7.5 3rd Stepping Forward Walk for Wellness – 7th Dec 2013
MNRA
organized the 3rd Stepping Forward Walk for Wellness at Taman Jaya,
Petaling Jaya on 7th December 2013. Despite a threatening sky, we
were surprised by a high registration of
203 participants. After a warming up exercise, the walk started round
the lake and ended with a cooling down exercise. Breakfast served by Nestlé sampling teams followed.
This year’s telematches required
some balancing and sharp shooting skills from the Retirees. Nevertheless, all
enjoyed themselves and went home with goody bags and lucky draw prizes all
donated by Nestlé Brands and 3rd parties.
