SMRT Driver refuse to work?? or its a strike??

Yesterday 100 SMRT drivers from China "Refuse to Work"? Or is it a "Strike"?

see link below:

What is the meaning of "Strike"? OK let me check the dictionary.. 

Definition of strike:  [no object] (of employees) refuse to work as a form of organized protest, typically in an attempt to obtain a particular concession or concessions from their employer: workers may strike over threatened job losses..

So "refuse to work" is = to a strike...  Let faced it...

Yes we do need foreign workers to fill this sector gap, how many Singaporean willing to be Bus Captain? (raise up your hands)..But by bring in foreign workers,, we faced another set of problems. Foreign workers does bring along their work culture and employee right from their own country of origin.. We can't blame them but we also can;t afford to let them to create social problem to our country.. 

These foreign workers compare their salary to their Malaysian colleague.. but have they consider their paper qualification, English language proficiency, more hard working then their Malaysian colleague? Do they know that high pay comes with more responsibility? Only they themselves know the answer.. I am sure SMRT have a better reason to give a better salary to the Malaysian... 

Morning Rush Hour..

Monday.. back to work.. This morning, in the crowded MRT train.. I heard a little girl crying to her mom, "I want to have a seat..."  My heart when soft like jelly when i hear that.. I would love to give up my seat to this little girl but can't see or spot this little girl.. :(   sad sad..

 

Kids now does not have a good and happy childhood.. They have to wake up so early even during school holiday to attend childcare, because both parents are working.. A few times i witness kids feeling restless or still falling asleep in the morning rush hour train.. 

X Mas Light up

The Christmas season is here again and from last Saturday, the whole stretch of Orchard Road has been light up and shopping mall dressing up with beautiful decorations. I love the feel of Christmas decorations, its homely and warm..

Sharing with everyone is the impressive decoration of Orchard Central. The ground floor of the mall is like a little village with stalls selling Christmas decoration..

Role Model MRT Stations

This Morning i was taking the circle line to Bishan. While boarding at the Serangoon station, i saw commuter queuing up in two rows on the side of the door, when the train door open, they let passenger alight before boarding. This good practice of the commuters make boarding and alighting a breeze. When i arrived at Bishan, the commuters did the same practice..

Why can't other station's commuters do the same? Applause to the commuters at Bishan MRT Station and Serangoon MRT Station. And yes, Applause to the staffs of these respective stations too..

Nah a pic from STOMP to prove.

Remember the Ferrari Accident?

Recently i have observed that some Singaporeans start to cross the road before the green man appear. Seems like most Singaporeans have forgot about the Ferrari beating the traffic light accident that kill the Taxi driver and its passenger.

It is always good to take a two seconds pulse when the green man appear, before crossing, cos you will never know when a car is beating the traffic light and that 2 seconds can really save your live. You can be in a rush but that 2 seconds does not make much different in your appointment but it can also changes your life.. This massage also goes to not only the pedestrians but the drivers out there...
