200 SMRT bus drivers refuse to go to work over pay issue

bupashu:

look, the Malaysian drivers take care of their own housing or not full provision of dormitory, as an example


the PRC drivers have dormitory provided, home passage provided, etc

the HR policy is unlikely to be openly blatantly discriminatory

more likely than not that the PRC drivers only see one side of the picture

just citing possible scenario of what was happening

Had the same feeling.

This kind journalism stinks . Only one side of story. Why no comment from smrt was published? If they declined to comment , that should have been mentioned. I am no fan of Mncs, still journalism is not about sentionalizing news.

I find it hard to believe such ballant discrimination will be practiced.

Don't start me on the FT thingy...

Now the FTs are showing SGs how to do \"it\"
SGs are too obedient and taken for granted at times.

That's the irony I am chuckling about.

What’s wrong with engaging foreigner drivers?


I fully support m’sian, PR or pinoy drivers. As long as they can deliver quality service with proper trainings.

[limlim]

There is simply not enough local drivers to deliver the quality of service (bus frequency) that commuters demand/expect.


Those who complained about foreign drivers, What do you expect the transport companies to do unless technology is sufficiently advanced to deploy driver-less buses.

Another solution is more extensive MRT network with driverless trains…

I guess that is already under way… till then, bus remains in high demand.

if SG people on strike, get sue till bankrupt.


revoke their work permit lah. Why can’t they work in their own country, produce toothbrush profit 1 cents X 1.2 billion = $1.2 billion profit.
