STRIKE * Malaysia - Bus drivers on
Penang,Malaysia -The Malaysia Star, by BERNARD SEE, K. KASTURI DEWI and K. SUTHAKAR -February 6, 2008: -- Thousands of bus commuters rushing for work and last-minute Chinese New Year shopping were left stranded yesterday when striking Rapid Penang drivers brought transport to a standstill... The commuters were left standing for hours at bus stops and terminals as the 100-odd bus drivers refused to start their engines after reporting for work at 6am yesterday... Many commuters were late for work when 120 of the 150 Rapid Penang buses did not leave the depot in Sungai Nibong and bus terminals at Komtar, Weld Quay and Balik Pulau. However, Rapid Penang bus service in Seberang Prai was unaffected... (Going nowhere: The bus drivers gathering at the bus depot during the strike in Sungai Nibong, Penang, yesterday)Labels: strikes
