National Transport Workers' Union (NTWU) issued a statement that said the union could not represent the affected workers as they were not union members.

NTWU urged the workers involved to return to work immediately and added that the union was prepared to help in negotiations if both parties (SMRT and the affected bus drivers) welcomed its involvement.

The Ministry of Manpower said in a statement that it takes the workers' actions “very seriously and that they are looking into the matter”.

The Chinese Embassy in Singapore said that it has been in close contact with Singapore authorities over the incident.
