Drivers and Changi Airport staff receive thanks on the first day of Chinese New Year
SINGAPORE - On the first day of Chinese New Year on Sunday, Mr Joseph Goh hit the road early for some extra cash before celebrations with his family later in the day.
Health Minister Ong Ye Kung and Dr Amy Khor, Senior Minister of State for Transport as well as Sustainability and the Environment, joined leaders from the affiliated associations of the National Trades Union Congress – the National Taxi Association and National Private Hire Vehicles Association - in handing out gift bags and engaging with them.
“Our taxi and private hire vehicle drivers have been putting in longer working hours to cater to the transportation needs of the community and more recently, the increase in international visitors. Today, we thank them for their tenacity and resilience, and for sacrificing their family time to ferry us from point to point during this festive period.”
