Something unusual happened

Something unusual happened in the company I'm working for yesterday morning 15/9/2008. Some 500+ employees (technicians, operators, engineers, managers)went on strike to protest against the forced retrenchment of some 30 employees. From what I heard, HR called these employees to their office one by one together with Segment Head, immediate boss, welfare manager or HR Director, took away their badges and had them escorted to guardhouse whereby they were listed as no-longer-Infineon-staffs. The ESS (employment separation scheme) was offered last month, but I guess these are the group of employees who haven't intended to take this up, either that or they're not satisfied with the forced procedure.Over here, this is the 2nd time such incident occurred. 1st one happened 20 years ago. Reporters and police came later, watch out for this news in today's paper.

And now our country is also in a topsy turvy condition with the recent arrest of RPK and tkok. I wonder what will happen today (Sept 16) or a couple more days from now. Seeing these happenings make me feel sober, reminding me how limited we are, and how God is in control....
