Only one feasible solution to MRT's PRC drivers' problem

Yes, you guess it right!!!

The problem cannot be solved by giving in to PRC's strike. To do so will cause a bigger backslash against the government - National Conversation will be derailed. People will want to know why is there such a discrimination against the local workers in disallowing them to strike against employers for unfairness in employment while foreign workers are excused for doing so. This is double standard!!!

To deport these striking workers or dismiss them is not feasible as well. With the unity shown by these PRC drivers, MRT is going to lose a big chunk of drivers causing disruption or lowering transport efficiency.

To overcome such a dilemma, level up to international labor standard and abolish our draconian control laws for the good of all both the local citizens and the foreigners, Like in abolishing mandatory death sentence against nimcompoop youthful drug couriers, nothing is cast in concrete especially laws that serve fellow human beings. Let local citizens enjoy the international labor standard right to strike to be on par with the standards elsewhere including that in China.

In short take this opportunity to change our control mindset tell the international communities we are not a terrible control freak always doing things against own citizens and democratize for the good of citizens as well as foreign talent. Otherwise Pappies are going to the GE 2016 losing even more votes.
................................. Below such sweeping generalities like leadership and meritocracy, avoiding welfarism and need to increase fees to pay for rising wages etc lie all sorts of abuses and cans of worms. By now, we have become too familiar with use of fear tactics to allow the pappies to go on the offensive of taxing, privatizing and profiteering to amass wealth for their own elites at the expense of citizens. That is why our public services are falling into the current disarray with minister fumbling on all his policies of increasing fare to justify more wrongful acts. What he fails to see is policy contradictions requiring a major re-fixing of whole system. That revamping of whole public services is what we got to do. Yet, none of our multi-million ministers care and will never mention.
