Message from our MD/CEO

Dear colleagues,
As we navigate through these challenging times, we truly appreciate everyone for their support and cooperation, especially that of our operations team members who are working tirelessly to upkeep the safety and cleanliness standards at our properties.

With the health and safety of our staff and guests as our top priority, we continue to keep abreast of the latest ministerial advisories and are committed to comply with any key changes by the relevant government authorities.

As you may know, more than half of our properties have been certified SG Clean and we look forward to the rest of our properties to proudly feature this SG Clean quality mark soon.

In addition to SG Clean, Worldwide Hotels sees her first cross-functional collaborative effort in an enhanced cleanliness and safety initiative - the inaugural WWH C.A.R.E.S – launched on 19 July 2020.

We hope the situation will get better in time to come, especially when we are starting to welcome staycationers following the easing of government restrictions.

Please stay safe and continue to adopt good hygiene practices as we continue our fight against COVID-19.

Warm Regards,
Carolyn Choo
MD/CEO

Hari Raya Haji Festivities
 
 
Hari Raya Haji is celebrated by Muslims around the world to mark the end of the Muslim pilgrimage known as the “haj”. The “haj” retraces the journey of Prophet Muhammad’s pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia.

As the COVID-19 situation is still ongoing, we hope that all our colleagues will continue to practice the social distancing rules as imposed by the government in order to minimise the possiblity of forming a new cluster.

Here's wishing all our our Muslim colleagues, Selamat Hari Raya Aidil-Adha and happy holidays to all. Stay safe and take care.
