The first Malay woman to become a commercial pilot in Singapore, Farhain Abu Bakar, was promoted to Captain for Scoot Airlines. Her promotion holds extra significance as the aviation sector is a male-dominated one. At 29, seven years ago, Ms. Farhain was featured in the local newspaper, The Straits Times, as the first Malay female commercial pilot in Singapore. According to the report, she received her private pilot's license from the Singapore Youth Aviation Club (SYFC) in 2004 while studying at SP.
