Singapore Mendeportasi 29 Mainland Chinese Bus Drivers Dec 2nd 2012, 05:10 SINGAPORE will deport 29 mainland Chinese bus drivers and prosecute five others for taking part in the city-state's first strike since the 1980s, the government says.The Ministry of Manpower said in a statement on Saturday that 29 drivers' work permits had been revoked and immigration officials "will be repatriating them" for involvement in a two-day stoppage to demand better pay and working conditions. "The strike was planned and premeditated. It disrupted our public transport which is an essential service, and posed a threat to public order," the statement said. A fifth driver has been arrested and will be charged in addition to four others who have been brought to court for allegedly instigating the November 26-27 work stoppage at state-linked transport firm SMRT. If found guilty of involvement in an illegal strike, they could be jailed for up to a year or fined a maximum of $Sg2000 ($A1540) - the equivalent of two months' wages for a driver. Strikes are illegal in Singapore for workers in "essential services" such as transport unless they give 14 days' prior notice and comply with other requirements. Source
