看看本地明白人的评论,现在状况是lose-lose。进退两难。

The way I see it, the Chinese drivers have basically been fully exploited by SMRT, the disgusting blood-sucking employer answering to its shareholders. Of which the govt is a major shareholder of course. So where does this lead us to conclude? The govt exploits cheap labour to prosper itself. Cheap labour comes not only foreign sources but also our own locals. Come on, $1775 basic pay for sg drivers can hardly feed a family here. Bus drivers in other Asian cities earn much more; drivers in Taiwan earn $2-3k a mth on average. Back on the strike issue, this is a lose-lose situation for the govt. Let the 4 drivers go scot-free and it'll be labelled as weak and kowtowing to a strong china backing. Jailing them would most certainly incur the wrath of Chinese citizens and netizens and might also affect bilateral relations going forward. So with that, I proffer 4 words: Good luck to you.
