Despite the Government's push to get more motorists to switch to public transport, the car is still their preferred choice, a new study has found. Even if a commuter lives within a 10-minute walk of a train station, his average train usage drops by 15 per cent when he has access to a car, researchers found. Younger respondents also said they preferred driving, even during peak hours. Some 37 per cent of 16- to 24-year-olds indicated they prefer cars, compared to 26 per cent of commuters aged 35 to 54 and 18 per cent of those aged 55 and above. During off-peak travel, the figures were higher - to 43 per cent, 32 per cent and 21 per cent respectively. Even though most respondents recognised that cars are the main culprits of congestion, they would not be willing to ditch their vehicles. These were among key findings of a study of 1,500 people carried out between July 2012 and last month by Dr Pallab Saha of the National University of Singapore in collaboration with the Land Transport Authority. The findings were shared with delegates at the inaugural Singapore International Transport Congress and Exhibition yesterday. Dr Saha said people here are still too reliant on cars, despite the Government's efforts to beef up the public transport network and tighten vehicle ownership. Almost one in two Singapore households owns a car. "The car becomes aspirational because you've to pay (in excess of) tens of thousands of dollars for a car and the COE," said Dr Saha. "It is something that one can use to project social success." However the study also found that nearly two-thirds of motorists would take public transport if it becomes more costly to buy and use a car, and if there are fewer parking spaces. Eight in 10 said they are likely to make the switch if they are given accurate information of arrival and departure times at bus stops, more areas are accessible by bus and train routes, and public transport capacity is increased. Dr Saha said there is a need to change motorists' mindsets to wean them off their vehicles - like creating awareness of projects such as car-sharing schemes. He said these are "more about getting access to a car, not so much owning one". Source: http://www.straitstimes.com/breaking-news/singapore/story/car-still-preferred-choice-new-study-finds-20131008

http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/eas...1241278/1/.html SG wages too low... i agree BEIJING: Job agencies in China say recruiting workers for Singapore has become increasingly difficult over the past five years as the wage gap between the two countries has narrowed. And the fallout from the recent illegal strike by SMRT bus drivers from China is now deterring some from applying to work in Singapore. Unfair and unjust - these are just some of the comments posted by Chinese internet users on Weibo after a former Chinese SMRT bus driver received a six-week jail sentence for taking part in an illegal strike in Singapore. But some also felt that the drivers' behaviour was unreasonable, and called for more to be done to prepare Chinese workers before they go overseas. "For the purpose of work, understand the laws of the country and the related rules, I think that's normal, and necessary." "Before they leave the country, human resource companies should do some training in these areas in China before sending the workers out." Recruiters in China said the majority of Chinese blue-collar workers in Singapore come from Jiangsu, Shandong and Liaoning where there's an abundance of manpower. One agency in Jiangsu said it conducts a preparatory course for Chinese workers moving to Singapore for work. Mr Lin Hai, General Manager of Jiangsu Huaian YunHai International Labour, said: "When they apply for work, I'll introduce Singapore's situation to them, let them understand that the 'Garden City' name is just the general environment. But work-wise, Singapore's efficiency is very high, you can't bring China's standards over, which means you have to do everything quickly." But Mr Lin, whose agency was set up in 2006, said it has become increasingly difficult to recruit Chinese workers for Singapore companies. He said salaries in Singapore are now almost on par with what workers would get if they stay in China. And the latest bus driver incident has deterred some considering Singapore as a work destination. Mr Lin said: "For example, in construction. They can get about 7,000-8,000 RMB each, a contractor can get 10,000 and more. In Singapore, a worker is paid 8,000-9,000 RMB. So if a Chinese construction worker can get this much staying here, it won't be worth it for him to travel far. So they usually won't choose to go to Singapore. Now, if they apply for work, when you mention Singapore, they don't want to go. Unless they have friends or relatives there but those are in the minority. So it's a challenge trying to recruit workers for Singapore." Job agencies said skilled labour workers now prefer to work in Europe, Japan and South Korea over Singapore for work because they get three to five times more for the same position. And with the growth of internet use and social media in China, workers including those in the rural areas are becoming more aware of labour laws and workers' rights, therefore making them more choosy about their workplace destination choices. - CNA/de

another unfavorable report for women bosses. --- Male bosses preferred by all staff Tweet Share my paper Friday, Sep 02, 2011 By Victoria Barker MALE bosses are preferred by both female and male employees in the private sector, findings from a study revealed yesterday. Just over half of the female employees surveyed said they would rather have a manager of the opposite sex, compared to just one in five male workers. Just over half of the women polled and nearly six in 10 men also prefer working with male colleagues. The study by global recruitment firm Randstad took place over several weeks from July to last month, and involved 405 Singapore-based employees - split evenly between men and women aged 18 to 65 - who completed an online questionnaire. Almost seven in 10 employees polled currently report to a male superior. Ms Karin Clarke, regional director for Randstad's Singapore and Malaysia offices, said: "Women are very good at building strong teams, empowering staff... Men tend to compete to win. "(But) the most important factor is that employees respect the authority of their leader, are motivated, inspired and feel valued." Accounts manager Ronald Naidu, 27, who works for a communications company and reports to a male boss, agreed. "To me, as long as the boss is fair and reasonable, gender doesn't matter," he said. However, Ms Michelle Fong agreed with the report's findings. The 29-year-old sales executive for a home-grown engineering company said: "I've had female bosses in the past and found that they tend to be more moody and emotional. "Guys are usually more laid-back...as long as you do your job well." Despite the preference for male colleagues and bosses, some respondents - nearly three in 10 - said they believe the performance of their organisation would improve if there were more women in higher management. Ms Clarke attributed this finding to the fact that women are often perceived as being more collaborative and inclusive in their leadership. "In turn, this can drive better business performance, with employees becoming more engaged and motivated as their contributions are recognised," she added. Almost half of all employees also felt that their companies perform best when there is an equal ratio of men to women on the team. Mr David Ang, executive director of the Singapore Human Resources Institute, said that the results could be attributed to the fact that there are simply more men in the Singapore workforce, but added that each gender brings different things to the table. "Men may be more rational and straight to the point, while women may be more nurturing (as bosses)... Each have different strengths," he said. He added that gender should not matter to employers when recruiting staff. "The manager should, most importantly, have the skills, knowledge and experience to do his or her job," he said.

Now he is talking and began to understand the feeling on the ground ............... From CNA : S'poreans might prefer a President 'not so closely related' to PAP: Lim Boon Heng SINGAPORE: Given the current sentiment among the electorate, Singaporeans might prefer a President who is not so closely linked to the People's Action Party (PAP), retired minister Lim Boon Heng said on Sunday when asked about former PAP MP Tan Cheng Bock's bid to run for the Elected Presidency. The former Minister in the Prime Minister's Office said he read the news of Dr Tan's intention with "very, very mixed feelings". Both Mr Lim and Dr Tan were first elected to Parliament in the 1980 General Election (GE). They were parliamentary colleagues for 26 years before Dr Tan stepped down from politics prior to the 2006 GE. Mr Lim retired from the political scene before the recent GE. Speaking at the sidelines of a People's Association event, Mr Lim said: "My sense is that people would prefer if there were someone who can be a strong unifying symbol for Singaporeans, who's not so closely related to the PAP." While there could be exceptions, he added: "I don't know whether Dr Tan Cheng Bock, in spite of his independent streak of thinking and expression of views, fully meets the bill." Mr Lim said he hopes that other capable Singaporeans will come forward so that the country could pick the "best person for the current climate that we have".

What if this is extended to buses and even express highway - eg outer lane charge more for faster speed Business Times - 04 Nov 2008 COMMENTARY SIA's preferred seat policy a slippery slope By LEE U-WEN WHENEVER I board a plane, I always look longingly at those lucky enough to be seated along the exit rows of the cabin. Once in a blue moon, the airline I'm flying on grants my request to have one of these 'privileged' seats, usually when the flight is not full. Among other things, the seat is coveted as it provides more legroom, and there's no worry about the passenger in front reclining his seat all the way and eating into one's already-cramped personal space in economy class - all at no additional charge, too. This has been a cheap thrill of sorts for travellers who saw air travel become increasingly expensive due to the increase in jet fuel costs this year. But, as they say, all good things have to come to an end some day. Yesterday, Singapore Airlines announced that passengers who want such 'preferred seats' on their planes will have to fork out US$100, about S$147, more for a return flight, and an extra US$50 per sector if their journey includes a transit stop. This new policy applies to all its flights except those within South-east Asia. Journeys served by the Boeing B777-200ER jets are excluded as they do not have exit row seats. What's different about this new option is that it will guarantee you an exit row seat on a first-come-first-serve basis, rather than on a request basis previously. I do not entirely agree with this move by the world's top airline. Here's my beef: Why should a passenger have to pay the extra $147 to SIA when his extra leg room comes with far greater responsibility? This is clear from the fact that money alone will not guarantee you that seemingly more luxurious seat. SIA has drawn up a list of seven terms and conditions that one must meet before being even entitled to reserve an exit row seat. These include being at least 21 years old, be 'fully able-bodied', not pregnant, able to understand safety instructions in English, travelling without infants, and not requiring an extension seat belt 'because of large body size'. These are safety considerations because, in an emergency, the passenger occupying these seats is obliged to help the crew. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling that paying for the preferred seat sounds more like a burden rather than a luxury, what with all these expectations and responsibilities placed on the shoulders of these passengers. And surely, someone who agrees to shoulder this responsibility should not be charged more, however remote the possibility of an emergency. And why is there a need to charge per sector, rather than per flight? Given the choice, it's safe to say that most passengers would prefer to fly direct, rather than have to transit midway. It's not difficult to see that SIA is thinking out of the box for new ways to boost sideline revenue in the wake of the airline industry being hit by the global financial crisis, but this latest move makes one wonder if other airlines will follow suit now that SIA has taken the lead. On the flip side, what about less desirable seats, such as the middle seat between a window and aisle seat, or those right at the back next to the toilets and with hardly any space to recline at all? Shouldn't there now be a 'discount' for passengers who are assigned these less popular seats? Levying different charges for seats within the same 'class' is a slippery slope.

The Insurance Co recently launched the New Motor Claims Framework which requires you to lodge your report within 24hrs. The worst thing is the reporting centres are the Insurance Authorised Workshops - this is very unfair as they are channelling the business to only a handful of workshop. The Insurance Co also threathen to cut your NCD if you don't do certain thing their way. I would like to tell all bros that you have your rights to choose your Preferred Workshop! Read here: http://www.justcomz.com/application/justco...ce_x0020_Claims There are 3 letters from the Sub Court and MAS (who is regulating the Insurance Co) affirming your rights. Any doubt, I am here to assist you in it. Thanks Joey Lim Harmony Motor

Someone wrote a letter to the Cut Waste Committee and suggested using Toyota Camry to replace AUDI that are used by higher ranking officers. They retorted by explaining overall maintenance cost of AUDI cars are lower then Camry. So they prefer to stick to AUDI. Any truth in that?

Hi guys, There are some prospective Polo buyers in MCF who have preference for the manual version. Currently Cars & Cars does not bring in the manual version. For those who have enquired the SEs from Cars & Cars, I am sure that you have been told that there is no plans to bring in the manual Polo at the moment. With this poll, we aim to derive a good estimate on the demand for manual Polos. Hopefully if the number is sizeable, VW Asia Pacific will be prompted to bring the manual Polos in.
