[TD="class: msgtxt"][h=2]Earn up to RMB120,000 a year as bus driver in Singapore[/h]
February 25th, 2012
An interviewee in past recruitment in Chengdu
Sichuan Daily reported on 21 Feb that a certain large public transport company from Singapore is coming to Chengdu (Sichuan province) to recruit 80 bus drivers [Link]. The Sichuan Daily reporter had learned about this from the Chengdu Overseas Employment Service Center.
Those selected can earn up RMB100,000 (S$20,000) a year. Since 2007, 600 bus drivers from Chengdu have been recruited to work in Singapore.
The article said that due to a shortage of “local driver talents” in Singapore, the Singapore public transport company then has to recruit bus drivers from China.
In total, 900 PRC bus drivers from China have gone to Singapore to work. The article even proudly commented that they (PRC bus drivers) have gradually become a “new force” (生力军) of the bus industry in Singapore.
The article also said that earlier batches of Chengdu bus drivers who have gone to work in Singapore, showed good working attitude, superb driving skills and Sichuan driver-specific affinity. They were greatly appreciated by the locals.
The Singapore public transport company offers favorable employment terms, said the article. The selection criteria are the candidate must be 45 years old and below, healthy and possess Class A or Class B driver’s license. There is no gender restriction.
The article extolled that because Singapore has a bilingual environment and majority of the population are Chinese, verbal communication is not a problem.
The company will provide 2-3 months of paid training to the new recruits. After starting work, the bus driver can expect to earn a total of RMB8,000-10,000 a month (S$1,600-S$2,000). This includes basic salary, fixed allowance, incentives, overtime wages and special bonus etc. Annually, he can earn up to RMB120,000 (S$24,000). The company will also be providing free accommodation. As long as one lives reasonably, the article said, the PRC bus driver can expect to save most of his income.
The article also explained that, in addition, the Singapore government mandates that workers need to have 1 rest day per week and companies need to pay overtime-pay for workers working beyond 8 hours a day. The contract will be for 2 years and drivers can renew their contracts after expiration.
It is not known how much agency fee these PRC bus drivers will have to pay to the Chengdu Overseas Employment Service Center.
