I saw in penangkini ex worker said retrenchment only for new line worker.old lines is still intact.production increase like hell and they feel like slave.its good thing to hear from dissapointed worker
Lesson learnt for tekseng management. listed company needs to manage the sensitivity properly. Simply terminate staff in 24 hours. No protocol at all. Damn chinaman. Lousy.
Today read from Nanyang news saying that most of the workers still under probation period, therefore just need one-day short notice only. Only few of them is experienced workers and paid them reasonable compensation already.
Penangkini is a facebook page.they also said jinko will do retrenchment also.for me its just a global problem not company problem.now is low tide in solar.but still i mad about their late clarifying.hope they will learn.its a public company not kedai cendol
Compared note on their retrenchment notice versus public reports. Sure indeed over played by emotions and splendid work play strategy to create panic. Indeed this exeercise impaired the groups future earnings but not immediate but a healthy action. Actually potential employees had been notifed in advance as notice period but outsiders would view it oh dear 24 hours leavers . and even being compensated. Natural no one is contented with such offers. Good ploy to buy back cheap to top up gain made. Oversold for sure . Lets all panic sellers leaves so that no more havoc and unreasonable laosai... Ha Ha. TV media already pay them a visit for some coverage..
GEORGE TOWN (Sept 29): Penang government says the latest retrenchment exercise at a unit of Penang-based Tek Seng Holdings Bhd was due to the company's redundancy caused by unmet business forecast, and is not reflective of the state's employment climate.
InvestPenang general manager Loo Lee Lian said in a statement today that the agency has been informed of the reason for the 180-staff retrenchment by TS Solartech Sdn Bhd, Tek Seng's solar cell and module manufacturer based in Penang Science Park.
“TS Solartech recently announced the retrenchment of 180 operation staff recently hired on contract, who were on probation employment, and this is out of a total of 400 hired during that period. The affected staff were also offered alternative employment in another factory of the group,” she shared.
InvestPenang stands for Invest-in-Penang Bhd.
Loo asserted that the retrenchment is a management exercise that does not reflect employment climate in the state nor the industry.
She cited a report by analytics firm, IHS Markit, which had noted that the global photovoltaic (PV) module shipments would exceed 2015's shipments by 10%, with revenue forecast to hit US$41.9 billon.
“Two other major solar cells and modules manufacturers in Penang are not only unaffected, but are actually in expansion mode. This expansion by a solar company will be announced soon,” she said.
Only DAP allow this. If Penang go back to BN sure won't happen.

We refer to the above article that appeared in New Straits Times on 27 September 2016, with particular reference to the statement in the 1st paragraph reproduced as follows:
“Another wave of retrenchments has apparently hit Penang’s manufacturing sector, with a sudden announcement to over 200 employees that they are out of jobs.”
We wish to clarify that the above measures undertaken by TS Solartech Sdn Bhd, a 50.69% owned subsidiary of Tek Seng Holdings Berhad (“Tek Seng” or “the Company”) is to optimize manpower to enhance productivity efficiency and to reduce its operating cost over the longer term.
The cost saving measures will not have any operational impact on TS Solartech Sdn Bhd or the Group. TS Solartech Sdn Bhd still has sufficient manpower of around 500 employees to fulfill the operation lines and is operating as usual in Penang Science Park. The Management of TS Solartech Sdn Bhd had resolved the issue by compensating monetarily. Despite that, the financial impact of manpower retrenchment is minimal.
The Company has and will always been looking to improve the Group’s performance and to increase its shareholders’ value.
will easily hit rm0.85 if sentiment worldwide not good,,be alert on German largest bank,,,,once crash,,,I dun think tekseng can sustain wit current price
