Yes, 100% a strike.
The strike staged by the PRC nationals is illegal. Here is the statute regulating strikes. TRADE DISPUTES ACT (CHAPTER 331)
Short title
1. This Act may be cited as the Trade Disputes Act.
Interpretation
2. In this Act —
“award” means an award made by an Industrial Arbitration Court and includes a collective agreement a memorandum of the terms of which has been certified by the President of the Industrial Arbitration Court in accordance with the provisions of the Industrial Relations Act (Cap. 136);
“industrial action” means —
(a)
any act or omission by a body of persons employed in any trade or industry, acting in combination or under a common understanding, which would result in any limitation or restriction on, or delay in, the performance of any duties connected with their employment; or
(b)
a strike, that is to say, the cessation of work by a body of persons employed in any trade or industry acting in combination, or a concerted refusal, or a refusal under a common understanding of a number of persons who are, or who have been so employed, to continue to work or to accept employment;
...snip...
Illegal industrial action and lock-out
3.—(1) An industrial action shall be illegal if —
(a)
it has any other object than the furtherance of a trade dispute within the trade or industry in which the persons taking part in the industrial action are engaged;
(b)
it is in furtherance of a trade dispute of which an Industrial Arbitration Court has cognizance; or
(c)
it is designed or calculated to coerce the Government either directly or by inflicting hardship on the community.
So according to the law, the above strike is illegal. Now here are the penalties.
Penalties in relation to illegal industrial action and lock-out
5.—(1) Any person who commences, continues or otherwise acts in furtherance of an illegal industrial action shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $2,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months or to both.

One country two systems. Singapore is a special administrative region of the PRCs just like Hong Kong!
Hor say ...so wats next for these prc fuckers ? Prc kweys will refuse to work n stand gather around in Geylang ?
Newton's law in action? Murphy's law would be a sight to behold :o:o:o
Its a possibility. Got quite a few GL WLs complained to me that the market rate of $150 is a bit low and not far from the going rate in China. Many also think that the work here is too hard and not what they have dreamed of. Competition is stiff in GL so the service has to be good to make money but these PRCs thought they can just give a half fark BJ and then lie there fr the rest of the session. Many have gone back within 6 months.
Then it will be first time in many decades that sinkie NSmen will volunteer to go geylang to force these chicks back to work. The Gurkhas can take the rest of week off.
Wonder what will be the outcome if the strike consists of a mixture of Tiongs and Sinkies ? Poodles will only arrest the latter I suppose.
Actually this is a good idea for Singaporeans wanting to strike. Have 50% FT's join in and see what they will do.
Difference is like flooding vs ponding...
LPPL!
LPPL!
Can add this to list of euphemisms. New entry.
Foreigners = refusal to work, negotiable and a misunderstanding.
Sinkies = strike, illegal and highly condemned.
why? why? why?
Yes LPPL....no difference.
The prostitutes at Braddell Brothel dare not offend their Pappy masters or they failed miserably in the usage of the word : Strike.
