In the world of aviation, where the skies are often considered a male-dominated domain, a remarkable woman has shattered the glass ceiling.

Meet Farhain Abu Bakar, a 36-year-old trailblazer who had previously risen to become Singapore’s first Malay female commercial pilot, according to The Straits Times.

She had recently achieved the prestigious rank of Captain.

A Milestone Achievement

Farhain’s promotion to the rank of Captain is a monumental achievement, not only for her but for the entire aviation sector in Singapore. In an industry where female pilots make up less than 1% of the workforce, her ascent to this position is nothing short of extraordinary.
