The plot thickens... :censored:[/quote]Hope this will prevent such protest / strikes to happen again in Singapore from FT. If there is any unhappiness in work issues, one should discuss and settle with management or HR. Why must resort to such actions? It won't solve problems.

This is just my small thought... :xedfingers:

the passengers are the want who want the FT drivers because they don't want to pay the fare to engage local drivers

I support raising wages for bus drivers, .....and raising fares.....and raising taxes to support our new high living cost environment.

Ya right, let's ask Obama instead... :faint:

:?

You say the wages too low for Singaporeans, so I say raise wages so that Singaporeans can be hired. I mean it. And if wages go up, either fares go up or taxes go up or both go up, and I support both.

Is that an issue?

I don't have a issue with it.

well its either wages go up and fares go up


or wages go up and fares stay the same and management gets a pay cut/ pay stagnate

but we’re living in the real world

so it’s wages go up and fares go up

[quote]Drivers from China earn a basic salary of S$1,075, while those from Malaysia earn S$1,375, the driver said.

The Malaysian no lodging.

The china worker has lodging.

Give them $1375 and ask them to find their own lodging, they go & see worth or not. Now Singapore housing rental is so EXPENSIVE!!![/quote]

Yes, some media reports \"forgot\" to highlight this lodging issue.... reader's discretion advised....

Advertisements on buses goes to who har? Under a separate entity for profit is it? If the heart is set out to keep fares from rising, I do not believe there can be no other way than to cut wages.
