SINGAPORE – Restaurant group Crystal Jade has closed four outlets in Singapore and issued termination notices to about 120 workers as part of a restructuring ahead of a proposed sale of the business .

The four outlets – three Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao restaurants at Bugis Junction, Toa Payoh and i12 Katong, as well as Crystal Jade GO at Oasis Terraces in Punggol – ceased operations on Oct 6.

Advisory firm Kroll, whose representatives were appointed receivers over the holding companies of Crystal Jade’s Singapore and Hong Kong operations on Sept 29, said on Oct 7 that the restructuring measures identified for the Singapore business have been implemented.

The move leaves Crystal Jade with nine operating outlets in Singapore and a workforce of about 210.

Kroll said the workers whose services were terminated worked in the affected restaurants and certain corporate functions.

The affected employees will receive their salaries up to their final day of employment, and restaurant staff will continue to serve their applicable notice periods and will be compensated according to their employment contracts.

Kroll and Crystal Jade have been engaging the Food, Drinks and Allied Workers Union (FDAWU), an affiliate of the National Trades Union Congress, and other associations since Sept 30 to support affected employees.

FDAWU general secretary Sankaradas s S. Chami said: “FDAWU is heartened that we were approached to support affected union members and workers following the appointment of the receivers.

“We know this will be a difficult and uncertain time for affected members, workers and their families. Our focus is to ensure that members and workers are treated fairly, kept informed and received the support they need and do not have to navigate this period of uncertainty alone.”

The union is also working with NTUC’s Employment and Employability Institute (e2i) and employer partners to help affected workers access new employment opportunities, he added.

As part of these efforts, FDAWU and NTUC’s e2i curated over 400 job opportunities across the food manufacturing, food services, hospitality, and wholesale and retail sectors, and engaged employer partners to conduct on-site interviews for affected workers during the communications exercise. Employer partners included Paris Baguette, Neo Group Bakery and Din Tai Fung.

Representatives from FDAWU were present to assist affected union members, address their queries and provide guidance on available support schemes. In addition, care packs containing daily essentials and groceries were prepared for affected union members.

Separately, the group’s central kitchen in Singapore, Crystal Jade Food Manufacturi ng, which operates outside the scope of the receivership, ceased operations on Oct 5. This decision was taken by the company’s management as part of the group’s broader restructuring efforts.

The Kroll representatives do not expect further outlet closures in Singapore.

新加坡——餐饮集团翡翠已关闭其在新加坡的四家分店，并向约 120 名员工发出解雇通知，这是为拟议出售业务而进行的重组的一部分。

这四家门店——位于武吉士购物中心、大巴窑和加东 i12 的三家翡翠拉面小笼包餐厅，以及位于榜鹅绿洲露台的翡翠GO餐厅——于 10 月 6 日停止营业。

咨询公司 Kroll 于 9 月 29 日被任命为翡翠集团新加坡和香港业务控股公司的接管人，该公司于 10 月 7 日表示，已为新加坡业务制定的重组措施已得到实施。

此举使翡翠集团在新加坡仅剩九家运营门店和约 210 名员工。

克罗尔表示，被解雇的员工在受影响的餐厅和某些公司部门工作。

受影响的员工将获得直至其最后工作日的工资，餐厅员工将继续履行其适用的通知期，并将根据其雇佣合同获得补偿。

自 9 月 30 日以来，Kroll 和 Crystal Jade 一直与全国工会大会的附属机构食品、饮料及相关行业工人联合会 (FDAWU) 和其他协会合作，为受影响的员工提供支持。

FDAWU 总书记 Sankaradas s S. Chami 表示：“FDAWU 感到欣慰的是，在接管人被任命后，有人联系我们，表示愿意为受影响的工会成员和工人提供支持。

“我们知道，对于受影响的会员、员工及其家人来说，这将是一段艰难而充满不确定性的时期。我们的重点是确保会员和员工得到公平对待，及时了解情况，获得所需的支持，并且不必独自面对这段充满不确定性的时期。”

他还补充说，工会也在与全国职工总会的就业与技能发展研究所（e2i）和雇主合作伙伴合作，帮助受影响的工人获得新的就业机会。

作为这些努力的一部分，FDAWU和NTUC的e2i平台在食品制造、餐饮服务、酒店餐饮以及批发零售等行业精心策划了400多个就业机会，并邀请合作雇主在沟通期间对受影响的员工进行现场面试。合作雇主包括巴黎贝甜、新集团烘焙坊和鼎泰丰。

FDAWU的代表到场协助受影响的工会成员，解答他们的疑问，并就可用的援助计划提供指导。此外，还为受影响的工会成员准备了包含日常必需品和食品的关怀包。

此外，该集团位于新加坡的中央厨房——翡翠食品制造（Crystal Jade Food Manufacturing）——于10月5日停止运营，该厨房的运营不在破产管理范围之内。这一决定是公司管理层作为集团更广泛重组计划的一部分而做出的。

Kroll 的代表预计新加坡不会再有门店关闭。
