This is Rafidah, a Chief Stewardess (in red) with Singapore Airlines and an ex-contact tracing executive officer at Ministry of Health, Singapore.
When COVID-19 hit, it decimated air travel and grounded cabin crew and pilots. During this time, Rafidah joined MOH to assist with contact tracing. In September this year, she returned to flying with SIA.
I bumped into her again at the airport a few weeks ago while going to Hong Kong. She told me that contact tracing work may be challenging at times, but the experience was priceless. But she knows her first love has always been flying, and she is immensely proud to be donning her SIA kebaya again.
Planes were grounded, but her passion for flying remains.
Like many Singaporeans who contributed in the fight against COVID-19, Rafidah’s story is an inspiring story of passion and resilience.
I told her that our job is to revive air travel and have her and her colleagues take to the skies again. #Changi will soar again, and so will SIA.
