    Sunshine Bakeries Unveils Limited Edition Musang King Durian Milk Bun: A Taste of Premium Durian Season in Every Bite!

    Sunshine Bakeries, a renowned bread manufacturer from Singapore, is gearing up to introduce its Musang King durian milk buns to the market on March 20, just before the onset of the durian season. The new delicacy will be available across leading supermarkets and convenience stores in Singapore, promising a unique flavor fusion for food connoisseurs.

    Features of the New Snack

    The Musang King durian milk bun boasts of authentic Musang King durian filing, derived from the scarce early-March harvest. The durian filing is beautifully complemented by Sunshine Bakeries’ famed Hokkaido Milk bun, offering a blend that is expected to win the hearts of durian lovers.

    The company has priced the bun at SGD2.50 (US$1.97). However, it’s important to note that the product will be available in limited quantities each day, considering the restricted availability of early-season yields.

    A Taste of the Season’s First Harvest

    Michelle Ang, chief marketing officer at Sunshine Bakeries, expressed her excitement about the product launch. She said, “Durian fans have a year-long desire for the fruit. By introducing the Musang King Durian Milk Bun, we aim to offer them a sneak peek into the first harvest of the season.”

    According to the company, the bun promises the highest standard of durian indulgence that is rich, custard-like, and aromatic.

  • Sunglass Hut underpaid employees

    Sunglass Hut underpaid employees

    Sunglass Hut underpaid hundreds of its part-time workers by about $2.3 million over more than five years.

    Luxottica Retail Australia Pty Ltd, trading as Sunglass Hut, has avoided prosecution by the Fair Work Ombudsman after entering a court-enforceable undertaking to repay the cash and agreeing to a $50,000 “contrition” payment.

    Between 2010 and 2016, Sunglass Hut failed to reach an agreement with part-time workers as required by the General Retail Industry Award.

    As a result, the company failed to pay $2,294,496 in overtime rates for work performed outside regular hours, to 620 employees at 253 stores across the country.

    Fair Work Ombudsman Sandra Parker said the undertaking was appropriate as the company had committed to overhauling workplace practices and rectifying all underpayments.

    “Sunglass Hut breached workplace laws and their conduct falls short of lawful obligations to their employees, and community expectations,” Ms Parker said.

    Sunglass Hut has already back-paid $1,485,590 to 457 staff, with $815,391 outstanding.

    As a gesture of contrition, Sunglass Hut must also hand over $50,000 to the National Association of Community Legal Centres.

    “This matter highlights that if employers incorrectly apply award conditions, it can have extensive and expensive consequences across the business for years to come,” Ms Parker said in a statement.

    “This outcome should also serve as a warning to all businesses that they need to actively check that they are paying their staff correctly.”

    Sunglass Hut must call in external auditors to check pay and conditions for workers every year until the undertaking ends in 2022.

    Luxottica must also issue a letter of apology to each of the affected workers.

    The company has been contacted for comment.
