Singapore to deport Chinese bus drivers: Singapore will deport 29 Chinese bus drivers and prosecute five others for taking part in the city-state's first strike since the 1980s, the government has said.
The Ministry of Manpower said in a statement that 29 drivers' work permits had been revoked and immigration officials "will be repatriating them" for involvement in a two-day stoppage to demand better pay and working conditions.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.
