    THE recent woes at Malaysia’s national carrier have put Singapore-listed SIA Engineering Company (SIAEC) in the cross hairs of Malaysian politicians.

    The maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) arm of Singapore Airlines (SIA) has been accused by some Malaysian opposition politicians and former leaders of causing dozens of skilled workers to leave Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) amid a manpower crunch.

    SIAEC has denied this and set the record straight in response to queries from The Business Times.
