    • Gardenia to shift bakery production from Singapore to Malaysia; 141 employees retrenched   https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/gardenia-shift-singapore-malaysia-retrenchment-6131521?cid=internal_sharetool_web_20052026_cna Gardenia to shift bakery production from Singapore to Malaysia; 141 employees retrenched   Based on the article from CNA, here is a summary of the situation regarding Gardenia's operations in Singapore:   Key Announcement On May 20, 2026, Gardenia Foods announced it is shifting its bakery production from its Pandan Loop facility in Singapore to Johor Bahru, Malaysia. Production at the Singapore site is scheduled to cease on June 30, 2026.   Impact on Employees   - Retrenchments: 141 employees at the Pandan Loop facility will be laid off. - Support Measures: Affected staff will receive a notice period and support aligned with local regulations. The Food, Drinks and Allied Workers Union (FDAWU) is assisting with job placements, resume writing, and interview prep. Gardenia is also sponsoring one year of union membership for existing members. - Remaining Workforce: Gardenia will retain approximately 250 employees in Singapore.   Reason for the Move The company stated the shift is part of efforts to improve operational efficiency and remain competitive in a challenging global environment. This follows a broader trend of F&B manufacturers (like Yeo Hiap Seng and Asia Pacific Breweries) moving production to Malaysia or other regional markets to optimize costs.   Singapore's Future Role Singapore will remain Gardenia's central hub for high-value functions, including:   - Brand management and product development. - Quality and regulatory oversight (ensuring compliance with SFA and HPB standards). - Daily distribution and supply chain operations.   Do you have any specific concerns regarding the availability of Gardenia products or the support available for the affected workers?
