Viral Now: Man reprimands SBS Transit bus driver for speaking Chinese, not EnglishYesterday, Facebook community page All Singapore Stuff uploaded this video of a man, believed to be a Singaporean Malay, reprimanding the driver of a SBS Transit bus.   (function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_GB/all.js#xfbml=1"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); Post by All Singapore Stuff. In the video, which has amassed close to 20,000 and been reshared by other pages including Temasek Review, the man is apparently riled up by the Chinese national driver's lack of English speaking skills.  His temper worsens when the driver connects him to the SBS Transit customer service via what seems to be a computerised system and is greeted by even more Chinese.  This scenario is not uncommon in Singapore, where non-English speaking foreign workers are fast expanding into the transport industry.  Last month, the Financial Times produced a video report about Singapore's new wave of Chinese immigrants and named bankers, construction workers and bus drivers as the top acquired jobs.     Read Also:  Video: Financial Times' report on new wave of Chinese immigrants in Singapore
