Episode casts spotlight on vital issues, say observers

NMP and SMU Assistant Professor of Law Eugene Tan questioned if SMRT should be let off the hook so lightly. This was in light of the recent strikes by the Chinese workers who were unhappy with their salaries and living conditions. Assistant Prof Tan also plans to bring up, when Parliament next sits, a couple of other issues - including how the 29 workers were temporarily housed in a prison facility despite not being charged with any offence.
