In a statement issued on Saturday evening (1 December), Public transport operator SMRT said the 29 drivers who will be repatriated will be paid, before they leave the country.

They will be paid all salaries, all claims (if any) and ex gratia bonuses on a pro-rated basis, said the transport operator.

Commenting on the incident, SMRT said there are valuable lessons learnt from this incident which are being addressed by the management.

SMRT said it needs to improve its management, communication and engagement efforts to be more proactive, responsible and sensitive to the needs of its drivers.

SMRT said: “We are determined to come out stronger from this episode. We want to thank all our drivers for continuing to work hard on the roads to serve our passengers, and we value their service to the company. We will continue to actively engage all drivers at all levels to address their concerns holistically, and work together to make the workplace a more conducive one for everybody.”

Meanwhile, the 29 drivers facing repatriation are being held at Admiralty West Prison for “processing”.

Do you think they were determined to come out stronger if this incident did not take place?

No point issuing those motherhood statement.

The top gun in HR must go to take responsibiliy and appease the Chinese public.

You know what is wrong with this statement right? What about the passengers the paying customers? No mention on how they were affected and no apologies. This means that passengers are slaves and so you get what you sow.

Apology is a sign of weakness which indirectly shows that you don't deserve your obnoxious salaries.

These minions had certainly learnt well from the Old Fossil.

Putting our lives at risks once again, is never their fault!! it is ours, for we are always grumbling too much & always paying too little. WHAT IF!, our comrades from P.R.C., instead of refusing to work, take hostages & negotiate until their demands are met? WHAT IF they decide to crash the buses they drive with a full load of passengers..WHAT IF...God is once again good to us, we came away safe again...when will be the next big thing??

WHY do we allow foreigners to be employed in job that is vital to the country...who allowed to! Now we have chopped off the "chicken heads, fried a few" & pacified the flock..."bigger heads" must roll...whoever cause the breakdown in Industrial Relation or sleeping on the job, must be publicly tarred & feathered...

In Japan the CEO will commit harakiri...in Uniquely YOUR SINgapore..it is the general public who commit harakiri!!
