Ensuring Passenger Safety and Service Excellence: Key Traits of Asia Transport Drivers In the bustling cities of Asia, where transportation plays a crucial role in the daily lives of millions, the safety and well-being of passengers are of paramount importance. Whether it is a taxi, bus, or ride-hailing service, the responsibility of ensuring passenger safety lies in the hands of the drivers. While technical skills and knowledge are essential, there are certain key traits that set apart exceptional Asian transport drivers, making them paragons of safety and service excellence. One of the key traits of Asia transport drivers is their proficiency in communication. In a diverse and multicultural region like Asia, where languages and dialects vary from one city to another, effective communication becomes crucial. A skilled driver is not only able to understand and speak the local language fluently, but they can also communicate with passengers from different backgrounds. This abil

As one of the many Singaporeans who cross over to #JohorBahru once in awhile for food, leisure and shopping, I too am looking forward to the improved #connectivity between both sides. As to what form it could take, that remains to be seen. Currently there’s a train shuttle service both ways across the #Causeway, but it sells out really quickly and way in advance, limiting its impact in addressing the congestion. To be honest, I’ve only ever taken it once! The #Singapore authorities recently started a QR code system to clear passports, and some have suggested the feature could improve overall #traffic flow if deployed on both sides of the land links. Within the city, roads are more often than not clogged with vehicles. For instance, people waiting for their Grabs at City Square mall usually see a main road lined with cars stretching endlessly! At least there is now an added push to improve the #transport infrastructure, as Johor seeks to maximise its benefits from the upcoming Special Economic Zone with Singapore.

🚗 Enduring Long Commutes: The Malaysian Dilemma Daily, countless Malaysians grapple with arduous commutes, covering distances exceeding 300km. Driven by familial commitments, limited transfer choices, and soaring city housing costs, these journeys pose significant challenges. This article, published by #NST, talks about many stories of people commuting 100-200km daily, prioritizing family support despite health issues. Stories of government servants covering long distances daily stem from rejected transfer requests. Azlin Roslan and Nur Alina Jabir's stories shed light on the impact of relocation choices influenced by family ties, job prospects, and the pursuit of affordable housing. Nur Alina, travelling 250km daily, underscores her passion for work and the sacrifices made as a spouse, raising safety concerns and incurring substantial expenses on fuel and toll. These stories highlight the pressing need for solutions. One such solution, as suggested by Farid Affandi, involves considering a pay cut to work closer to home or bearing a higher cost of living to reside nearer to the workplace. This should be considered by most of these folks, as the psychological costs of your commute are more detrimental than the benefits of earning a slightly higher salary. Another key solution here could be utilizing private buses for daily commutes to alleviate struggles and save money. Private buses often offer direct routes, minimizing travel time and reducing the stress associated with lengthy journeys. Modern private buses go the extra mile by providing comfort amenities, ensuring a relaxing journey for commuters and mitigating the physical toll of daily travel. To address the challenges of long commutes, RedBus has introduced the "Bus Pass" – a tailored solution for daily commuters. This initiative aims to save money and enhance convenience by providing a cost-effective, all-in-one travel pass. The synergy between RedBus’s Bus Pass and the use of private buses presents a comprehensive solution to the challenges faced by long-distance commuters. Also, companies can explore flexible work arrangements, while policymakers should prioritize infrastructure improvements to ease the burden of long commutes further. Let's embrace private buses as a viable and sustainable option, reshaping the commuting experience and fostering a more balanced work-life equation. #LongCommutes #WorkLifeBalance #MalaysianHeroes #RedBusBusPass #PrivateBuses #ConvenientCommute #SustainableTravel https://lnkd.in/g_CHX92H

There are Companies that will forever be in your heart. Looking back at the Companies I joined, there are 3 that I will look back on with great fondness because of the growth learning and friendships that I gained. 1) Philippine Airlines - my first job and by far the best employee onboarding experience I've had and has one of the best employee benefits 2) Bayan Telecommunications - the turning points in my life happened here. I learned a lot, especially in terms of great work values (iKusang KaKaSa) 3) ABS-CBN - my dream company. As they always say - once a Kapamilya, always a Kapamilya. Saw the best and worst days of my life here. Also, one of the best employee benefits I"ve had. I will always pray for their success. How about you? Which companies will you forever remember working for?

My transition to working in a global company was made seamless thanks to an organisation that is an Indian as it gets. My team at Maersk had 15+ nationalities! Definitely one of the more international ones in the company. How did I adjust in this global team with no international schools on my CV and having lived only in India all my life? It was working at Dailyhunt that truly opened my eyes to cultural nuances of each region in India. An app in 14 Indian languages and pitching regional/national campaigns to brands meant we had to have our regional behavioural insights bang on. Being curious, empathetic and respectful of all the mini-Indias was embedded in the company and also my role. It was these values that helped me make international friends and the pleasure of having these insights that - - Middle class Argentines and middle class Indians are very similar - India has a lot in common with Japan - Bulgarian Tarator is a lot like Indian Raita - Almost everyone on the planet uses the Danish cookie box as a sewing kit I see companies asking for previous experience in global companies in job descriptions. To them I say, look beyond the CV. You don't need to have worked in a global company to be global in your approach. And you will only learn that when you have the same global approach to hiring as you expect from the candidates applying. -- Sincerely, a 'global citizen' with only one global company on the CV but surviving just fine in Denmark 🇩🇰 PS - a glimpse from Cultural Feast, a team initiative started by Ritanshu and I where we explored cuisine from each nationality in the team. This one was about China and in the quiz about China, I managed to come in 2nd.
