Strike: Missing MOM & Transport ministers, Labour MPs who refuse to comment etc

[Confuseous]

This strike by the PRC drivers of SMRT may have wider implications. For example, in May this year, some Singapore drivers of SMRT aired their grievances about wages and working hours as well. The Union then tasked Ong Ye Kung, then-Deputy Secretary General of NTUC to address the grievances. Ong Ye Kun was also an independent director of SMRT’s board at that time. The drivers then were reportedly 'particularly angry with Ong for “short selling” them and spoke irately about his conflict of interests'. Has that issue been resolved? How much effort did NTWU put in to address the Singapore drivers' grievances about wages and working hours?

It's also not helpful that the Minister for Manpower, and the Minster for Transport has kept silent on the strike by SMRT's PRC drivers. They should address the concerns and anxiety of Singaporeans on this matter.
