Joseph22 Turbocharged December 4, 2012 Share December 4, 2012 And most of us had been watching this saga before this Strike begin. It's appalling that some people here regarded someone's personal figments of imagination as the actual reality of SMRT's strike.I'm glad that this saga has ended. I watched with intense from day one of the strike till the end and nothing convinced me that the strike was of genuine reason. This strike was orchestrated by some petty-minded & disgruntled workers with selfish intentions for their own personal gains & gratifications. The workers on strike didn't stand on the same ground at the end of the day. This could be seen by the apology from the worker who was jailed. He was unhappy that he didn't get the raise like his malaysian perm staff and got involved in the strike. This was not about bad accommodation or changing of contract terms, etc like what they claimed in the latter part of the strike. No doubt that a total of 5 china drivers would be jailed in the ensuing outcome, this incident will change the mindset of SMRT. I believe those workers who got let off in this strike won't be recontracted after their 2 years of service and SMRT won't hire china drivers on a perm employment basis like our malaysian counterparts. This is a lose-lose situation. I just hope that SMRT won't use this excuse of increased operation cost to request for fare hike from PTC. If you support the strike, pls don't complain when our public transport fare increases in the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben5266 Supercharged December 4, 2012 Share December 4, 2012 like who? The clues... "The workers, both foreign and local, became unhappy, as necessarily they would. They spoke to their management. Some wrote a petition; some approached The Online Citizen; others came to the SDP for help." "The reason I am acquainted with this sequence of events, which SMRT and the Manpower Ministry has pretended didn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolicense Turbocharged December 4, 2012 Share December 4, 2012 I'm sorry, I've failed. I truly do not have the tolerance or patience to suffer these fools who continue to harp on an issue that has long been laid to rest and unanimously decided on a long time ago. People are still asking if strikes are good for Singapore or not!!!!! It's like freaking tribesmen living in the depths of the Amazon rainforest asking if tsunamis were good for countries which were ravaged by it. And totally missing the questions that meteorologists and geologists are asking and answering in order to better understand why tsunamis happen and how we can prevent or at least predict them and dampen their damaging effects. And then throwing spears at the meterologists and geologists for not asking the same dumb questions of whether tsunamis are good or bad together with them. God, it's like a horror movie come alive. nice analog.. now where is that like button.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightbringer 6th Gear December 4, 2012 Author Share December 4, 2012 Is really an eye openess with so many highly educate forumers with great vision/insight postings. Indeed I did Learnt quite a fair bit from most of the posts here. On the whole it took me at least 45min to finish the whole TS article. Bo pian..pardon mine inadquate academic background to fully comprehend the article. Just one question that is lingering on my mind. Do china transport industry indeed pay much better than singapore counterpart? Adjust the pay for PPP first, and we shall see. But the sheer number of foreign bus drivers from China here tends to indicate that there is indeed quite a significant difference in PPP-adjusted pay for this job in both countries, won't it? Or at the very least, a significant lack of similarly-paid opportunities in China. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightbringer 6th Gear December 4, 2012 Author Share December 4, 2012 not fan of PAP... but he use PAP tactics... cannot convince? spread fear... you want your wife to work as maids??? I love this line, never fail to LOL when somebody brings it up again. Fear mongering usually works best on the selfish and the weak-minded. Plenty of examples here. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
