Yang Ban Seng
Chief Executive Officer, Comfort Transportation Pte Ltd
Nominated by National Taxi Association
MEDAL OF COMMENDATION AWARD
Consultative
As Chief Executive Officer of Comfort Transportation Pte Ltd, Brother
Yang Ban Seng has always been a strong supporter of the two National
Taxi Association (NTA) branches – Comfort Branch and CityCab Branch.
Brother Ban Seng’s warm, open and transparent
leadership style has encouraged NTA’s leaders to
share and raise their concerns and issues pertaining
to drivers. As a result, many challenging and
potentially controversial policies have been shaped
in full consultation with the association before
being implemented, hence avoiding any major
unhappiness on the ground.
Trust and a common vision between Brother Ban Seng and NTA are the
keys to sustaining the long and cordial relationship that goes back to
the 1990s.
Besides monthly meetings, the management staff led by Brother Ban Seng
and the association’s leaders conduct annual and triennial management
seminars to share business plans and gather drivers’ feedback. These
seminars enable both parties to not just share the company’s business
plans and growth, but to interact informally. For new leaders from both
the management and association, these gatherings have also enabled
them to make each other’s acquaintances quickly as part of the leadership
renewal process.
All these would not have been possible without the firm and visionary
leadership of Brother Ban Seng, steering the management to build a
strong labour-management relations with NTA and work hand in hand
with its leaders.
In recognition of his outstanding contributions, the National Trades Union
Congress is pleased to present Brother Yang Ban Seng with the Medal of
Commendation Award.
