manager after Claire resigned from her position in Dec 2016.

6 | P a g e

4. AGENDA ITEM 3 - Matters arising from Minutes of the 41st Annual General Meeting

4.1 There were no matters arising from the Minutes of the 41st Annual General Meeting.

5. AGENDA ITEM 4 - To receive and confirm the Executive Committee’s Annual Report and

Financial Report for Financial year ending 31 Mar 2016.

5.1 SIAE President Mr Lim Yeow Khee presented the Executive Committee Report. He

highlighted that SIAE has used its internal Auditors to conduct the auditing for FY 2016/2017.

There was no need to engage external auditors for the year and as a result, SIAE saved

$5,000 in audit fees. He expressed his thanks to the internal auditors Colin Koh and Chan Sig

Yam.

5.2 Hon. Treasurer Chow Kok Wah presented the Financial Report.

5.2.1 Chow Kok Wah highlighted that the auditors’ remuneration of $4,000 and the

accounting fee of $5,800 were for FY 2015/2016. There would be no audit nor accounting fee

for FY 2016/2017 as mentioned by Lim Yeow Khee.

5.2.2 He highlighted that SIAE incurred a smaller loss of $1,824 compared to $42,307 in the

previous FY 2015/2016 due to lower staff costs and higher dividends.

5.2.3 He mentioned that the main source of income for SIAE continued to be the dividends

paid by ATTC.

5.3 The confirmation of the Executive Committee’s Financial Report for the FY 2015/2016 was

proposed by Fung Yee Tik and seconded by Chen Pai, and the Annual Report was proposed

by David Teo and seconded by Chua Yeow Chua. The proposals were unanimously

approved.

6. AGENDA ITEM 5 - Matters arising from the Annual Report and Financial Report for FY

2016/2017

6.1. SIAE Membership

Lim Yeow Khee invited suggestions on ways to improve the quantity and quality of SIAE’s

membership.

Chan Sig Yam suggested that SIAE encourage our corporate members to promote SIAE membership

among their employees and to offer exclusive activities to members.

William Goh opined that SIAE should build up a strong base of student members who would over time

become ordinary members.

Jonathan Hung suggested engaging younger generation to be more interested in aerospace

engineering. These individuals would become our future members.

Tan Chu Hiang felt that potential members would want to know how SIAE membership could bring

value hence we should focus on the value-add. Furthermore, with the availability of social media,

people did not need to be members of an institute to plug into the aerospace community.

Chen Pai felt that SIAE should work on cultivating the younger generation through events such as

our Aviation Safety Competition and our forthcoming Drone Competition.

7 | P a g e

Mervyn Sirisena thought SIAE could attract members through offering continuing learning

programmes to members so as to make SIAE more relevant to aerospace engineers. Another

attraction, he said, was if SIAE could promote Chartered Engineer (Aerospace) status to bring

recognition to our members and also to integrate with other engineering institutions to share privileges.

He further suggested creating different layers of membership and convince employers to recognize

our membership as a form of professional status.

6.2 Constitution Amendments

Constitution sub-Committee had submitted a draft to the previous Executive Committee for

Constitution Amendments. The updated Constitution includes requirement for membership entry and

exit, Code of Conduct, rules for election Executive Committee Members. When the amendments were

ready, the Executive Committee would call for an Extraordinary General Meeting to approve it before

filing with Registry of Society.

6.3 SIAE Consultant Pte Ltd

The director of SIAE Consultant, Jeremy Chan announced that the proposed SIAE consulting

company has been registered and is named SIAE Consultant Pte. Ltd. It would target SMEs in

Singapore and the regional businesses and it aimed to leverage on the expertise of SIAE members.

SIAE would announce details to all members and encourage them to participate in consultancy work

when the opportunities arose.

6.4 MOU with NTUC

SIAE signed a MOU with NTUC U-Associate on 13 Mar 2017. NTUC U-Associate is an arm of NTUC

tasked with skills transformation and guidance for career development. PIVOT is an initiative by NTUC,

with support from U-Associate, UPME Centre, e2i and the extensive LM networks to provide a one-

stop service to help displaced PMEs in areas of emotional support, re-skilling and eventually,

preparing these PMEs to be transited into new job opportunities. They are looking for mentors from

SIAE members.

6.5 ATTC Financial Report

Commenting on the Consolidated Financial Report, Chow Kok Wah highlighted that ATTC and SIAE

combined incurred a loss of $326,717 in FY 2016/2017 of which $324,893 is attributable to ATTC

operations. The losses incurred by ATTC was largely due to the declining student population in

Singapore and also competition from aerospace courses conducted by the five Polytechnics and the

public and private universities in Singapore which offered many alternatives to potential aerospace

students. ATTC also did not benefit from several profitable but one-off programmes which has mostly

ended in the FY before.

6.6 ATTC Management

There was a change in the ATTC Board of Directors. Lim Hock San retired from the Chairmanship on

31 May 2017 and he would be appointed as Advisor ATTC. Lim Yeow Khee would take over the

chairmanship from 01 September 2017.

1. Introduction – Message from the President It is time once again to round up our activities for the year. Despite our heavy commitment of resources to strengthen both SIAE and ATTC administration and infrastructure, we managed to continue with our Café Aeronautique and ASC. But the key event this year was SATEC 2018 which attracted nearly 500 participants. We had a very good conference which brought in significant revenue as well. It was also a memorable occasion when our partner the RSAF took the opportunity to celebrated RSAF 50th Anniversary. Aviation Safety Competition (ASC 2018) started off very well and we have completed all lectures and industrial visits. Thanks to the ASC Committee and our sponsors and supporters. This year we have an exciting ASC Committee comprising many new members which brought in many new ideas and provided important resources to support the activities. We look forward to the Grand Finals award ceremony in November 2018. A group of NTU students have registered SIAE@NTU Chapter to connect aero students to industry. It was a great move and we hope to have more IHL coming into our fold to enable us to expand our reach our potential aero engineers. At the other end of the scale, I call upon our members with valuable experience to come and work with SIAE Consultant which was set up to provide opportunities for members to be economically active again and contribute their valuable experience to the aviation industry. The integration of SIAE with ATTC operation did not progress as well as expected. The environment resulting from trying to solve the financial burden from high rental uncovered unfortunate personality clashes which stalled many potential projects. I thank members of our ExCo for their resilience in the face of very challenging circumstances brought onto us by the financial burden of ATTC. This is the 50th year of my aviation career. I look forward to see younger people taking more interest in SIAE’s mission to build a good aviation culture for Singapore’s aviation industry to grow. Lim Yeow Khee BBM

14.2 ATTC Organisational Review

Management Oversight

A Management Committee comprising the GM, Academic Chair, Dy Academic Chair and

Quality Manager was formed to meet on average every 2 weeks to share issues and make

decisions.

The Teachers’ Contact monthly meeting was chaired by Mr. Lim Yeow Khee to discuss student

and teaching issues and to decide on actions going forward.

Curriculum Review & Scheduling

Progress has been made in structuring the course into 2-hour blocks and converting some

lecture hours to tutorial time where appropriate to deepen learning. Schedules are also

modified to allow free slots for students to revise lessons and to broaden their learning

activities.

Outward-looking Marketing

Various attempts were made in the Financial Year to explore collaborations or sell our

technical expertise in Chongjing China and in the region. While we had the industry

connections, we lack the size, reputation and financial resources that these partners sought.

ATTC also explored opportunities to rent out the hangar to suitable tenants whose rentals

would be useful to offset our monthy lease charges. Due to various constraints of our

location and hangar access and nature of intended use, we were not successful but would

continue to seek suitable opportunities.
