Bao Feng Shan: Jail Term

Bus Drivers Dept: Pushing for the jail term as a deterrent, the prosecution argued in court that although Bao Feng Shan, 38, was not an instigator of the strike, he was "far from a mere passive participant.", according to Winnipeg Free Press. A total of 171 Chinese bus drivers went on strike last Monday in protest at being paid nearly a quarter less than Malaysian bus drivers who work for the same transport company and sINGAPORE - Singapore sentenced a Chinese immigrant bus driver to six weeks in prison Monday for his involvement in the city-state's first labour strike in 26 years. The prosecution said a lenient approach may encourage others to think that they can commit similar offences and "conveniently express remorse to escape custodial sentence."
