Well done, PAP! Generals can run corporations as well as they run armies!
SINGAPORE: SMRT announced on Thursday (May 21) at its biennial company dinner that it is awarding all its employees with S$500 worth of shopping vouchers each, “for their contributions in public transport towards nation building”. The company revealed this in a post on its Facebook page, the next day.
“This token of appreciation from the company is to thank everyone for their dedication in operating, maintaining and upgrading our rail lines, buses, taxis, facilities, and shops; and for serving our commuters, customers and each other with professionalism and pride,” the transport operator wrote.

The move recognises "train captains, station staff, bus captains, technicians, engineers and all other workers who play a part in keeping our nation moving every day", SMRT said. "Through their hard work, we run a world class transport system that is integral to Singapore's growth as a nation."
In addition, the SMRT said its management has “decided to donate their share, totaling about S$50,000, to charity” and that its board of directors will match the management’s donation from their own director fees for the year. The total amount of S$100,000 will go to “help the poor and needy, for travel vouchers on (their) public transport system”, SMRT stated.
