a sister company of scandinavian airlines ( sas ) , it operated various regional services on behalf of the scandinavian flag carrier .

established in 1984 as commuter operations department , a business unit of sas , it initially flew minor services out of copenhagen using a fleet of nine fokker f27 friendships .

twenty-two fokker 50s were delivered in 1989 and 1990 .

they operated out of copenhagen under the eurolink brand , as well as taking over regional services in northern norway from may 1990 under the norlink brand .

starting in february 1997 , sas commuter took delivery of six saab 2000 , with it operated with the swelink brand .

they served domestic and secondary finnish destinations out of stockholm .

sas commuter became the launch customer of the bombardier dash 8-q400 in january 2000 , which over the next two years replaced the eurolink fokkers and the saabs .

the q400 were initially plagued with technical faults .

the norlink operations were in 2002 abandoned to sister company widerøe .

however , from april 2003 sas commuter took over former braathens routes in western norway , operated under the westlink brand .

sas commuter was dissolved on 1 october 2004 and integrated into the three national operating companies .

payscale , sas commuter is a wholly owned subsidiary of sas and their only customer is sas airline . to all intents and purposes sas commuter is a part of sas airline . try buying a ticket from sas commuter . . . i worked for sas commuter a couple of years ago and at that time the pilot corps was common to both airlines but the cabin crew were employed by either sas commuter or sas airline . the pilots could , for instance , bid on both sas airline and sas commuter . maybe that has changed since then . maybe a b767 pilot bidding for f50 or q400 had to resign from sas airline and be hired by sas commuter . maybe they chose to fire pilots flying for sas commuter as most of the routes being closed are commuter routes . maybe i ' m completely wrong about it . does it matter who is right and who is wrong ? i still say it ' s a moot point . if you are fired it doesn ' t matter who fired you ; you are still out of a job and my sympathies go out to those 91 pilots .

i ' m not sure exactly whether sas are letting pilots go or not but i ' m quite sure sas commuter are not . sas commuter have their own cabin crew but the pilots are actually employed by sas airline . so , if any pilots are being let go it will be from sas airline . . . . a moot point , i know . . . if you are fired it is just as bad regardless of who you are fired from . . .
sas commuter it is kind of hard to try to neglect the fact that i and all my colleagues in swedair was stabbed in the back by sas commuter and their pilot union members in 1993 . we all lost our jobs and furthermore all of our highly qualified pilots that applied for vacant pilot jobs in sas commuter were rejected . this happened at a time when jobs were scarse and some of the swedair pilots had to go unemployed for a long time .

originally replacing sas commuter operations department ' s f27 , the f50 was the backbone of scandinavian commuter ' s regional operations from 1989 - 1999 when the first q400s were delivered . since then they ' ve been phased out , the ones remaining are operated by sas braathens on the norwegian west coast . the fleet has actually been expanded the last few years so i ' d say they fly quite a lot .
the unusual step by sas came after one of its dash 8 q400 commuter planes crash - landed on saturday because of landing - gear failure , the third such incident involving the airline in the last two months .
the following is a list of destinations served by sas commuter as it became integrated into scandinavian airlines denmark , scandinavian airlines sweden and sas braathens . routes in norway were served by westlink , in sweden by swelink and the rest by eurolink . eurolink also served some destinations in norway and sweden . . . .
sas commuter , later branded scandinavian commuter was a regional airline created by scandinavian airlines parent companies det norske luftfartsselskap , det danske luftfartsselskab and aerotransport on december 1 , 1988 . it was merged with the new airlines scandinavian airlines denmark , scandinavian airlines sweden and sas braathens in 2004 . its head office was in kastrup , tårnby municipality , denmark . the airline operated under four brand names eurolink served the sas ' hub copenhagen airport on short - haul routes too small for jet operation . norlink operated in northern norway on regional non - subsidy routes . the routes were transferred to widerøe in 2003 . swelink operated regional routes in sweden . westlink took over the regional routes on the norwegian west coast in 2003 , after sas bought braathens . though the operations of westlink are merged with sas braathens , the sas group has said they want to merge the norwegian regional operations with widerøe .
even though sas didn ' t operate the saab 340a in the

colors ( they were painted in their regular colors ) , those liveries are based on the fokker f50 and the saab 2000 that were used for these routes .
the exact number of pilots who will be fired are 91 in sas commuter . we hope to save some of these in 50 % - positions by loa and reduced duty among the rest of the pilots , but with only about 300 pilots remaining , it will be difficult to save all . in sas the number is 160 pilots , and they are working 50 % , while the remaining 80 positions are handled by loa and reduced duty among the rest . the main reason for this is the economic difficulties of the airline , sas is operating with big losses , and needs restructuring to cut costs . however , we also suffer from the fact that the sas group has ownership in a myriad of different airlines , and are starting ( or rather , continuing ) to reduce sas production in favour of these . examples are spain - scandinavia ( spanair ) , copenhagen - sweden ( skyways ) , sweden - finland ( air botnia ) , northern norway ( braathens and widerøe ) . in northern norway this has actually resulted in the closing of the sas commuter base in tromsø , which will cease operations in april next year . this happens while we see that the other airlines within the sas group increase their production ! sas and sas commuter pilots are now learning why you need scope clauses . and we are learning it the hard way .
sas commuter president ole pedersen accepts some responsibility for the service disruptions - admitting that the airline may have been
a bit too optimistic
with its q400 scheduling plans - although
we have definitely had too many snags
, he says .
when the word came from on high in late 1996 that scandinavian airlines system would launch a new sas commuter operation out of stockholm ' s arlanda airport , there was much skepticism among the airline ' s management . arlanda had always been a jet market for sas , with its fokker 50 commuter operations limited to copenhagen and oslo . the unions did not like it because they thought it would decrease jet jobs . besides , skyways , sweden ' s largest regional airline , was already providing . . .

- eurolink served the sas ' hub copenhagen airport on short - haul routes too small for jet operation .
- westlink took over the regional routes on the norwegian west coast in 2003 , after sas bought braathens .
in september and october of 2007 , there were three reported incidents involving landing gear malfunctions on sas q400 aircraft .
managing costs has had to become a preoccupation for stockholm - based skyways express , particularly while under ever - fiercer competition from discount - fare airlines and a reinvigorated sas . last year it flew embraer erj 145s and leased bae 146s on the high - frequency , 400 - mile route to skelleftea , an abandoned sas destination . but now sas’s return has forced skyways to cut the operation to three bae 146s a day . also in the past year , sas has returned to manchester in northern england and the irish capital dublin , routes previously covered by skyways under sas code - share .
could someone please supply the full story of this back - stabbing of swedair by sc and sc unions ? and what kind of commitment sas commuter had to the welfare of swedair in the first place ? to indulge us young kids who haven ' t been around very long . . .
just on the news here in norway :
in a 180 degrees reversal of the promises made by sas on aquiring braathen safe , sas has announced that 800 braathen ' s employees will be fired
it seems sas promised braathen ' s employees that the employees of both sas and braathes would be treated the same , if and when it would come to firing people .
this was obviously just for show . that ' s why we are retiring form all projects on co - operation between sas and braathens as of right now
say the 11 unions representing braathen ' s employees in a joint communiqué .
i saw one sas f50 when i went to copenhagen a year or so ago . we travelled on a skyways fokker 50 and it was parked up next to a sas f50 . i don ' t think they ' re used a lot either .
as the industry gathers in gothenburg for this year’s general assembly , the era will certainly lament the absence of one of its stalwart airline members from scandinavia–even if its passengers have taken little notice . a year ago , sas absorbed its regional subsidiary sas commuter back into the mainline business , a merger that “worked quite well , but was always going to be a challenge , ” according to the airline’s commercial director , jens willunsem .
yes too low flaps , i agree that pilot should stick together and give support to another . but where were all colleges when swedair was closed down . the decision to close down swedair was nothing but politics politics and union politics within sas / sc . the final decision to close down swedair was taken by sas board in end of 93 with full support from all unions within sas / sc .
wawoo it´s an amazing airplan specially i love sas and i love this one i hope the dv will add such an beauty bombardier .
well . there are a lot of pilots in sweden who is not crying over sas comutor at this very moment . they remember how sas and sas comutor betraided swedair pilots with good help from swedish and danish and norwegan unions ten years ago . now they are trying to do it once agin to other pilots in skyways , air bothnia , braathens . i really hope they don , t get away with it this time .

flapsforty , the news you are referring to concerns the ground staff . a project group is still working on how to resolve the redundancy among ground staff , and will present their results in the beginning of may . regarding flight and cabin crew the story is different . so far the only job losses after the braathens buy have been among sas / sas commuter personell . and these reductions come as a direct result of sas - owned airlines taking over previously sas / sc - operated routes . this wednesday 31 new pilots in sc was fired , bringing us up to a total of 48 so far . 43 more will have to go before the end of the year . braathens have actually reduced their numbers of redundant pilots and cabin crew after the buy , due to increased scheduled and charter production .
on the issue of compensation pedersen will say only that :
we are being taken care of .
sas commuter expects to have received 13 q400s by the end of this year , instead of the 20 originally scheduled .
lack of reliability in the delivery schedules is really the number one concern and has really hit us hard ,
says pedersen .
the desire for integration hasn’t driven the changes to sas regional services as much as the need to keep such operations under constant review , said willunsem . recent developments include new or more service to lithuania , germany and the uk . for example , from this month sas will introduce bombardier q400s to london city airport , while denmark’s cimber air serves certain german routes to lithuania , luxembourg and sweden under sas flight numbers using 50 - seat bombardier crj200s .
the company said the claims with sas scandinavian airlines and goodrich , the maker of the landing gear ,
have come to a mutually satisfactory agreement .
a group comprising bombardier , p & wc and sas is working on a recovery plan aimed at lifting despatch reliability to 98 . 7 % by july .
sas sees such deals as the way to meet expansion requirements without acquiring more capacity . sas holds no outstanding orders for , and holds no options on , new regional aircraft . it leases all equipment from the parent group’s asset - management business , a strategy that reduces the effect of economic trends on day - to - day operations .
in an effort to reduce disruption , sas has been using its q400s at half the rate originally planned , and retained a fleet of fokker 50s that were due to have been phased out . though bombardier is contractually obliged to compensate sas for the aircraft ' s poor performance , pedersen says that he is more concerned about the airline

we need to have a serious discussion with bombardier ,
said sas commuter president ole pedersen speaking before the copenhagen meeting .
there have been far , far too many problems . we want the performance of the aircraft brought up to a level where we can have a normal working day .
the situation came to a head on 10 october when a q400 crew was forced to declare an emergency after one of the aircraft ' s pitot tubes became blocked , causing the failure of some primary cockpit instruments . the next day sas grounded the fleet for safety checks , believing that the failure of a drainage hole had allowed water to enter and freeze beyond the heated portion of the tube .
the airline initially grounded the planes and then pulled them out of its fleet . sas , the flagship carrier of sweden , denmark and norway , sought more than $ 70 million in compensation following the incidents .
after the first two sas crash landings in september , transport canada ordered more than one - third of the 160 q400s in operation worldwide to be grounded pending a detailed visual inspection of the main landing gear .
themagus . . . hmmm . . . what can i say ! . . . . . . well , sas commuter would be the first airline i have ever heard of that did not employ it own pilots . i am sure there is 91 pilots there , without a job , that wish your wisdom was fact . what you probably have hears is that some captains are former fo with the airline , that bid for a command with sc . i am quite sure i am right on this
no other airline flying q400s removed the aircraft , a turboprop plane , from service , permanently or otherwise , after the sas announcement , including horizon air in the united states , which has 33 of the planes .
that resulted in extensive flight delays and cancellations for horizon — a unit of alaska air and the only carrier in the united states that operates the plane — as well as for sas and other carriers in europe .
perhaps inevitably , the distinction between regional and mainline service has blurred . depending on the season , sas passengers may find themselves aboard regional aircraft or larger machines such as mcdonnell douglas md - 80s on the same route . related market adjustments have seen the turboprop fleet shrink from 22 q400s to just 12 . sas has stopped wet leasing five fokker 50s from norwegian regional subsidiary wideroe’s , which has absorbed some of the surplus bombardier turboprops .
last month sas became the first airline to offer a full one - way price structure without , for example , late - booking and overnight - stay restrictions . sas regional and other services now offer three classes : “true economy” no - frills service ; so - called “economy flex , ” with frills such as later ( or internet ) check - in and light meals ; and business class , featuring airport lounges , two - plus - two seating and “better value” service .
in conjunction with the settlement , bombardier said sas and three of its affiliate airlines — estonian air , norway ' s wideroe ' s flyveselskap a / s and latvia ' s airbaltic — have signed a firm order to buy 27 regional jets and turboprops and taken options on another 24 aircraft .
yeah , i went on an sas f50 back in 1999 between jonkoping ( sweden ) and copenhagan . it was my first f50 flight and i remember it being one hell of a ride ; particularly the approach into copenhagan over the sea in an autumn gale . who needs alton towers eh ?
asked about trends in its regional services , willunsem cites “no big differentiation” from operations otherwise considered mainline . “overall , the [ european summer ] season has been very competitive , with [ fare ] prices under pressure , ” he said . sas has managed to stabilize yields that had fallen since the onset of economic recession in mid - 2001 , while traffic trends remained positive despite increasing passenger cost consciousness . now , sas has seen “healthy yield development , ” even while it maintains a presence in the low - fare market , added willunsem , suggesting the airline has managed to ease some fares upwards as the economy has improved .
i flew on sas eurolink f . 50 oy - kag gothenburg - copenhagen on 9th february 1994 during a trip to gothenburg - i seem to recall specially planning coming back got - cph - ams - ema rather than a more simple route so that i could try out a fokker 50 for the first time ! andy
excel has also been in talks with several other affiliates of our member airlines sas , as well as london based atlantic air , about their ascension into the alliance , however these talks are only in their infancy . the product of this negotiation is expected to be a pair of new airlines increasing excel ' s foothold on europe .
bombardier representatives met the carrier and engine - maker pratt & whitney canada on 13 october to discuss a range of problems which has hampered q400 operations . sas , who was the launch customer when it received the first aircraft in january , has so far received nine of the aircraft from a firm order of 25 , with deliveries running several months behind schedule .
bombardier says :
we think that people have put mobile phones in their luggage that are switched on , and an incoming call has triggered the detector . we are proposing to sas that as an interim solution we retrofit the smoke detectors currently fitted to other models of the dash 8 because we know that they are less susceptible to electro - magnetic interference .
willunsem contends that , contrary to tendencies in north america and in much of europe , sas customers do not draw a distinction between or among aircraft . “for example , gothenburg is a feeder route [ on which ] we use both jets and turboprops , ” he said . that doesn’t mean the consolidation hasn’t wrought consequences , however , not least in declining employee numbers .
pille , could you be a bit more spesific about sc ' s betrayal to swed air ? and how are the unions at sas / sc trying to do this again ? basicly i think pilots should stick together , and co - operate instead of being happy over colleagues problems . does any one here know how the salaries are for fc and fp at skyways ? ?
instead , skyways has closed many of its saab 340 routes , while upgrading a few with the larger fokker 50 , including copenhagen - karlstad , which it introduced a year ago . where the f50 doesn’t work , skyways , like sas , buys the appropriate capacity with wet leases on , for example , 19 - seat bae jetstream 31s and 50 - passenger saab 2000s .
mr . mirgle said that while aviation incident reports showed a relatively large number of episodes related to landing gear , they generally involved problems like tire failures that typically did not cause forced landings or damage to aircraft . while no one was seriously injured in any of the q400 crash landings , they all caused extensive damage to the planes involved . the engine of one sas aircraft also caught fire during its spark - showering landing .
further disruption to q400 operations has been caused by the high level of cockpit nuisance warnings received by pilots before take - off . bombardier is flight testing a software upgrade yet to be installed on the sas aircraft .
the crews are of course unhappy but they are professional ,
says pedersen .
we ' ve been dealing with daily problems from the outset , but now we can ' t put any more pressure on our company .
tm , yes it does mater who is right and who is wrong generally speaking . not in the issue here . maybe you worked for a company called cod - the predecessor to sc . then the pilots worked for sas and some of the cabin for sc . that my friend was a long , long time ago . i too worked for sc untill recently , and my symphaties goes to all the young fo that have lost jobs . . . . .
willunsem expects that passenger load factor will become more significant on regional services under the new structure . “ [ we will get ] more market share and grow as passengers combine fares , which will generate more traffic , ” he said , predicting that by january load factors on regional routes will have gained six percentage points over a one - year period . but he acknowledged that some routes remain price sensitive , making it hard to increase loads to some destinations while maintaining yield . in efforts to manage fuel costs , sas has adopted a policy of hedging half of its projected need 12 months ahead of delivery .
i just heard that braathens ' pilots scheduled to be made redundant this coming fall , have been given a year extra before they are redundant . now that has to be interesting for the sc pilots that are fired to hear . aquire the competition that is on the brink of ruin , and pump it full of hard earned cash for it to survive , then start firing your own employees ! that must be a real moral booster ! ! ! and the unions seems to be just bystanders . . . i think that if the unions don ' t react soon this will be the world to come . since we don ' t have the scope clauses of the us , soon the high - costing sas pilots will slowly be phased out and cheaper labour will be used through increased outsourcing ! this will lower the standard for the pilots throughout the pilot community in scandinavia . ( by
standard
i meen the fine union agreements most of the pilot groups have been able to negotiate ) what is there to hinder that sas will not do all of its expansion through braathens , wideröe , spanair , air bottnia , skyways etc in the future ? it is time for the union to put a stop to the outsourcing !
a very impressive a / c . . someone in the us ( east coast or midwest ) should buy some of these and they could get almost same perfomance as rj , s and get out from under the rj scope clauses and still offer superior regional services . the anti - turboprop sentiment has gone too far and the public has a bad perception of them , but this a / c will change their mind . . . i think the perfect hub would be slot - controlled ohare . . great lakes aviation . . sorry this has nothing to do with sas , but i am very interested in this a / c . . .
in fact , the culture can validly look to the third wave for the major portion of the answer . the new knowledge - based civilization and all its confusing changes really is the key here . the old second wave civilization is in transition to the third wave , and in this flux state is dumping many old ways and playing around with new ways . this is confusing people and making many people uncomfortable , pressed for time , socially adrift , vocationally insecure , and even alienated . in this process many are experimenting with dropping old values and habits relating to churches , beliefs , civil duties , political convictions , community involvement and responsibility , and adopting new ones that have more to do with personal security , networking , connectedness through the internet or using telephones rather than letters and personal visits , dropping relationships and marriages that are dysfunctional and seeking new people to relate to , and adopting electronic cottage lifestyles as they happily discard the commuter lifestyle forever—they hope ! so , in addition to the other authors we’ve encouraged eberly to get either acquainted or reacquainted with , we especially recommend the tofflers . in other words , the social changes eberly sees are more than simply symptoms of how society is degenerating . they’re also signs of how it is regenerating ! read the tofflers : e . g . , the third wave .
bombardier aerospace said monday it has settled claims over incidents last year in which landing gear on some of its turboprop q400 aircraft collapsed .
the value of the firm order for 13 crj900 nextgen aircraft and 14 q400 nextgen turboprops is roughly $ 883 million us . the value of the orders could increase to approximately $ 1 . 75 billion us if all the options are exercised .
shares of bombardier slipped two cents to close at $ 5 . 28 on the tsx .

that incident followed several emergency landings made after pilots received false smoke alarm warnings from a sensor in the forward cargo compartment , which are believed to have been triggered by mobile phone signals .
though the pitot tube inspections are relatively simple , pedersen says he will not resume operations with the q400 until bombardier
convinces
him that it has a workable fix for the smoke alarm problem .
additional false warnings from smoke detectors in the aircraft ' s lavatory are being caused by oil leaking into the engine compressors which allows fumes to enter the passenger cabin . an engine modification programme is under way to address this problem .
losing four geared turbofan engines to in - flight failures as a result of a botched durability upgrade was not how pratt & whitney wanted 2018 to begin quite the opposite .
only twice in the first decade since the airbus a380 entered service has the double - deck aircraft ended a year with its order backlog higher than that of the previous one . on both occasions middle eastern carrier emirates alone had spared the programme from recording a duck for the year . emirates ordered 32 a380s in mid - 2010 and just eight days before the end of 2013 signed for another 50 of the type .

exactly ! that is the crux of this matter ! we need a scope clause , and we need it now . the unions are however working on it . . .
a major shake - up has seen wholesale changes across the skyways fleet : the airline has leased all four of its erj 145s to uk and u . s . operators , and cast off 11 of 12 owned saab 340s through sale or lease deals . skyways also moved maintenance work from linkoping to halmstad , and furloughed some 60 flight crew plus cabin staff .
the moves will , in effect , make skyways an all - fokker 50 operation . it now operates 17 of the dutch turboprops , most on short - term lease , and has talked of adding another two . this stands in stark contrast to the situation a year ago , when the airline considered leasing up to five fokker 100 regional jets for strong routes .
up to 45 percent of local traffic has deserted traditional regional airlines in favor of low - cost carriers in sweden , perhaps the biggest influence behind skyways’ recent moves . irish operator ryanair flies its “stockholm” services to and from skavsta , 55 miles from the capital city and deep in the skyways catchment area for linkoping and norkoping traffic . ryanair also offers direct access to german and uk points that the regional serves only via connecting flights .
skyways acknowledges the effect of increased fuel costs , but says the situation hasn’t influenced its route decisions . meanwhile , job cuts have continued , claiming about 250 casualties this year . further efficiencies have come through increased use of internet sales , which now account for about 40 percent of the airline’s business .
while skyways scrambles to adjust to the fast - changing competitive environment , fellow scandinavian regional danish air transport ( dat ) has benefited from other airlines’ need to adapt–especially as changes in demand have created capacity shortages and , consequently , higher charter rates . according to dat managing director jesper rungholm , demand for atr 42s , dash 8s and fokker 50s has actually grown in the past year . dat operates seven atr 42s , two atr 72s and a raytheon beech 1900d , providing low - cost scheduled services within norway from oslo and stavanger , mail and small - package cargo flights and– most notably–a growing level of charter and wet - lease capacity .
in addition to 20 , 000 scheduled travelers flown each year on atr 42s and the beech 1900 , dat carries up to 25 , 000 charter passengers on both atr types , fitted with quick - change interiors that also support mixed passenger / cargo operations . demand for charter capacity has grown so strong that dat has resorted to placing aircraft on plural contracts . for example , a dat atr 72 served charter customers at the same time air wales used the airplane for maintenance cover .
dat has contracted two atr 42s and an atr 72 to dhl , federal express and danish royal mail . extra capacity comes from a wet - leased antonov an - 26 . dat also acts as marketing , sales and operating agent for lithuanian subsidiary danu oro transportas ( dot ) , which offers atr 42 capacity leased from dat , but crewed by dot .

dear friends : as many of you have noticed , the internet movie plan database ( impdb . org ) has recently had a hard time keeping up with the growing demands of our users . in 2009 when a couple of us got together to begin putting the website together , space was never an issue . in fact , it has steadily grown with virtually no problems throughout the years . in about the middle of 2016 we began to run into server space issues . we have since made upgrades ( moving to a vps , buying more space , etc ) , but the site continues to outgrow the upgrades . the meager ad revenue generated by the site isn ' t sufficient to cover the annual cost of running the server . we who manage the site have never made money from it , it has only ever earned enough money to cover actual server costs . in an effort to continue serving the needs of aviation enthusiasts around the world , we are asking for donations to keep this site up and running consistently like it did when it was a smaller , newer site . if you ' ve enjoyed this website and would like to see it continue being the site you go to for your aviation screenshot needs , please consider donating . oh yeah , new users and edits are now active ( hopefully for good ) while we ' re testing new and improved spam / bot protections : ) thank you , impdb staff

the search for buyers has proved controversial . last week , the securities investors association of singapore ( sias ) , which represents retail investors here , called on eng wah to be more transparent in the sale of its properties , asking it to ' ensure that the sale price is maximised ' .
mr didier bernardin , the son of crazy horse founder alain bernardin , said he was impressed by the determination and proactivity of the eng wah team in its bid to bring crazy horse paris to singapore . this professionalism was a major factor in the decision to choose singapore ahead of other asian cities .
disposing of the assets is a key condition for the reverse takeover by transcu . ' if the properties are not sold , the reverse takeover will not take place , ' said eng wah . and if the reverse takeover falls through , ew . g will not buy the properties , it added .

40 the plaintiff’s position was that the incentive scheme was partly oral , partly written and the parties to it were the first defendant , the second defendant , the chua group and the goh group , which was equivalent to the plaintiff . this was because ( according to the plaintiff ) the incentive scheme was an inducement for the chua group and the goh group to agree to the first defendant acquiring a majority shareholding in the second defendant , which was itself part of a larger arrangement governing the different aspects of the first defendant taking majority ownership of the second defendant including board composition , management , directors’ remuneration , and control over monetary and sales matters . the plaintiff claimed that cjn acted on behalf of the second defendant , the chua group and the goh group when he negotiated the incentive scheme and signed the memorandum evidencing the incentive scheme .

many of goh’s writings are autobiographical or biographical in nature . they are often based on his personal experiences , having lived through colonial times , the japanese occupation , singapore’s merger and separation from malaysia , and the nation - building years . his various appointments as a civil servant , banker , builder and social worker had also influenced his writings . goh also drew inspiration from stories that he hears from family , friends and colleagues . he saw the need to share his own personal history and that of others , so that the rich experiences of the older generation could be preserved and passed on to younger singaporeans to help them better appreciate and understand singapore’s past . besides writing to entertain , goh also wrote as an educationalist . he saw his writing as a way of reflecting his values and to help people understand life issues . many of his stories encompass a moral point . 19

13 unfortunately , the second defendant continued to suffer losses and in may 1979 , the plaintiff injected another $ 375 , 000 into the second defendant ( via kin wah ) by subscribing for 375 , 000 shares of $ 1 . 00 each . the first defendant also provided $ 340 , 000 in august 1980 in exchange for 340 , 000 shares . after this share subscription exercise , the goh group became the largest shareholder in the second defendant . however , despite the capital infusions , the second defendant’s net liability was $ 523 , 000 in early 1981 and its contracting business continued to incur losses . in april 1981 , chong sold his 250 , 000 shares in the second defendant to sim boon woo ( “sim” ) , a friend of cjn .
