Cops spray tear gas on strikers
South Korean police on Wednesday sprayed tear gas from helicopters to try to evict unionists armed with petrol bombs and slingshots from a loss-making auto plant. About 1,000 striking workers equipped with metal pipes, powerful slingshots and inflammable paint thinner have occupied the Ssangyong Motor plant in protest at job cuts designed to save the Chinese-invested company.

For south korea, it is very common for the workers to go on strike.
Whereas in Singapore, you will never see this kind of action.
The culture between these two countries are totally different.
Hence, many investors still prefer Singapore due to the obedience citizen.
