Better and Safer Transportation for foreign workers

  Hope the media is poking into this topic. Firstly, the workers are treated like dirt in singapore. They are here because what they earn here is many times more then what they earn at their own country. This morning is a wake up call for the garmen, the three lives lost is totally unacceptable. Who is responsible to tell their families, that their sons, or their wives, because singapore Bosses here cannot afford to ferry them in proper transportation. Thus, causing them to, "up the lorry", you know what I mean. Garmen is so good at implementing laws, like workers dormitries. This is because they want to treat the workers better, why not implement law for transporting of workers in buses. Buses are equipt with safety belts and most of them are seasoned drivers, while bosses tends to employ cheaper foreign drivers for their lorries, dual purposes for goods and human beings. Imagine that after a hard days work, try sitting in a lorry even with the safety barrier roof top attached all the back to the dormitry, with a speeding lorry and an inexperience driver. Think all the bosses should try this and give their verdict. Even seen them being transported in those dirt carrying ten tons truck, this is how they're being treated. Without them how can we as s'porean survive...

  I just saw the picture in today Straits time.....wow I din know it is so bad....jia lat man, how that lorry driver drive. Government relax rules to let them transport workers behind to cut cost and they never take care......

  Now most certainly another rule will come in and up goes the operating cost......serve them right.
