As some of you may know,
i had life a brief scuba diving lesson when i slept over at the empire hotel about 6 months ago
-
since then, i've been informed af alot of special scuba diving events
but today, i received the weirdest email from the Fraser McDemott who is the General Manager of Scuba Tech
the letter said,
-
Hi Guys,This is a quick message to update you all on the situation at STi.
-
As a cost cutting excersise the owners Yusrin & Ameenah sent all the STi staff home to The philippines in the clothes they stood up in and no notice, no salary and no thanks, giving them only a $15 ticket to Labuan, where from that is was the staff's own problem to get home, with no money in their pockets.
-
I in protest left two days later, fearing that the same may happen to me. At this time they owe me salaries for 2 months, and comission from January to now.
-
To be honest the owners have financial problems beyond belief, with creditors chasing them every which way, they are morally bankrupt, and i have first hand witnessed them steal $100,000 BND from a singapore group of investors who invested and purchased Scuba Tech in September last year and then were chased out of the country by Yusrin and Ameenah on false charges. These people have no morals.
-
They have told me of every previous instructor being a theif etc. as i am sure once I am gone they will say about me also. i am only sure that those that know me will may rest assured this is untrue.
-
Be advised that the compressor needs service, and is nearing safe limits. I would suggest that now i am not there to guarantee quality, you think seriously about your own health before diving with STi, also pleasze remember they have NO qualified staff, no DM and no Instructor.
-
I suggest any and all that wish to continue diving in Brunei contact the BSAC Dive club in Muara, they dive from the yacht club.
-
For all those who have not finished their courses. i would suggest that you insist on a refund, although in fairness i wish you good luck obtaining it from a company that can not even pay their staff, does not service their gear, has creditor calling daily, and has had both their cars reposessed by the bank in one month, and sold one of their dive boats to pay for the owners
recent holiday to KK.
-
I hope to meet each and every one of you in the future.
Good luck with life.
-
Please take this letter as a warning. DO NOT DEAL with STI, I can no longer Guarantee your safety, financial security or service quality, and issue this statement to advise all the true nature of the company.
-
well first of all, i'm not even part of it or anything so not much worried about it
but i don't really know how much of this you can believe
what is this was just some letter to boycott the company
its in the friggin' EMPIRE HOTEL man
i don't think they'd let them get away with that would they??
but if this was true, i wouldnt be surprised either though
=/
thats seriously how low of an expectation i have for Brunei
me and my friends had paid for the course and this happened halfway through our course. i cant believe this happened at empire.
ReplyDeleteim sorry to hear that. Brunei's not strict enough and people cheat assets.
ReplyDeleteSadly not a true story, i worked there before and i witnessed the most diving instructors especially from australia & united kingdom cheated the owners a lot as they (these so-called instructors) think they can run the business according to the local market. why are you blaming all faults to the owners of scuba tech? Just because you right all this 'crap' doesnt mean that it is all true. By all means, get all facts from the hotel empire management as well as local brunei police report. Rumors are spread by cowards whose got a big mouth but with no heart. Judge yourself before you judge others and stand up to the owners if you dare coz by writing all this crap can only mean one thing....youre a coward..enough said
