With Minister of Manpower Tan Chuan-Jin and the Singapore
government calling the labour protest of over 180 SMRT bus drivers an
"illegal strike", perhaps it is time for Singaporeans to consider
new, alternate ways to protest. Basically, any other ways to protest except to go on
strike (unless you want to be hurl up in court in which case please ignore this
post).
Now if some of you are wondering what other ways are there
to protest without striking, I am pleased to say the cabin crews of Cathay
Pacific Airways has gave us a fine example on how to do it. The Cathay Pacific
Airways Flight Attendants Union is currently in a pay dispute with airline executives
and is encouraging flight attendants to hit the airline's reputation for
excellent service by...refusing to smile!
You have to give these guys credit for being imaginative. Just
imagine it; being served food on a long flight by attendants who frowned
instead of smiling. Oh the horror! And if done in Singapore, it’s all legal! Talk about a beautiful
alternative.

we already not smiling...
anyway no need to strike or stuff like that...
just continue to see PAP continue their screw ups...u can trust or should i say thrusting them to always get it all wrong...even follow up corrective action, PAP will still screw up...
Why...because they are intelligent paper wise but not truely wise and no street smarts...
And this is the best of the best...
LOL!
Dude you sound like saying that though Singaporeans will not smile, they also will not strike. Not saying you're wrong but that's sad.
Just to highlight that under Singapore's legislation, any coordinated action by the workers is considered industrial action and is illegal if not approved beforehand. Illegal coordinated action is not limited to mass AWOL or mass MC. So I hope your readers do not take what you said seriously and try something funny, cos they could potentially get into trouble with the law.
