ABAM ABAM: Singapore's Young Heavy Vehicle Drivers
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 січ 2020
- Road hoggers, hooligans and gangsters? Truck drivers can work for as long as 14-15 hours every day, plying the road across Singapore and Malaysia. Despite working hard for their family, they are often dismissed as road hazards and blamed for causing accidents by other drivers.
Teddy Tora, a trailer truck driver, is also the club president of Abam Abam Trailer Singapura, a community of young heavy vehicle drivers in Singapore. One of the pioneers of the community, Teddy hopes to correct misconceptions and improve people’s perception of truck drivers. As the community grows, he also encourages fellow truck drivers to actively help out with charity work at least once a month.

We were inspired by HBO Asia's brand new original series 'Invisible Stories' to feature an authentic, overlooked story in Singapore. 'Invisible Stories' is a six-episode series that brings to life the joy and struggles of everyday people in the country. Official Trailer: ua-cam.com/video/I5cO_4YW2fc/v-deo.html *Premieres 5 Jan on HBO GO!
You sure its not from trailer boys?
This 7 minutes of watching this is more meaningful than an episode of Singapore Social hahaha
"...MP asked me to ride bicycle..." badan sudah letih kot
When u see a guy who is friendly, care for his family, generous towards needy, kind and hardworking....u know he's the man! Cheers
Love the positive impact they're making in the community!
@@blizzaroxxx By taking public transport or ur Grab, you are also polluting the country. Ironic.

Im not a truck driver but as a car enthusiast. The truck community is refreshing.. Like he said its an art.
bnxr then japan is the land of ricer ?
@@MegaCibai he failed to see the art of it..
@Blake Maxon damn some of you wont get it. i was pointing out what he said. based on the video, they drew inspiration from japan. in his eye, japan = ricer stuff. do you need me to clarify more ? oh,i drive a jdm car. so please, your point is invalid :)
@Blake Maxon just a stock evo which i drive everyday
@Blake Maxon nah, indonesia
When the community give charity, and you know you want to give too.. Love you Singapore from Pekanbaru.
The moment that man, Teddy whip out his dust blower and pressed it with a straight face I just laughed like mad.
So did we 😂
Males (regardless of age) we love small gadgets toys here and there.😁
Hope they will be part of the ndp this year! Or at least chingay parade!

Chingay?china gay?lol gay mostly chinese
@@shortcut7325 okay... you're being irrelevant
Gay dians
Did you guys get picked up by HBO? Good job if so, you guys deserve recognition for all the amazing videos you put up on UA-cam.

“MP told me to take bicycle” 😂😂😂
Knn ask people to cycle few km back after a whole day of driving heavy vehicles transporting goods around. Perfect example of giving ideas from their ivory tower lollll
proves pap doesnt care about us.
Which bodoh mp say tt?
Talk is cheap.
Buggers are useless....
abam abam! so inspiring! always stay safe on the roads and spread your positive influences!!!
i love this and their selflessness, and the fact that they will be now represented in HBO asia :)
People gotta know that most of their everyday appliances are delivered to your local stores by truck drivers.
The truck community is just fileed with such amazing people. Keep it up.
Semoga Allah memberkati pekerjaan mereka.
This is excellent! No one should be judged based on their job but rather the kind of impact they can make in the community they are in. Huge respect!
I consider these people the real heroes of our nation
Better than those sitting in parliment.

Bro teddy ..aku slute kau..as brother hope u dont forget solat..in sha Allah u n ur fren Allah rahmati kamu smua..mudah2an Allah tema amlan kamu smua..tc bro.
Someone has to do the work and he chose it with pride! Kudos to him!
I have no idea there is a such thing as deko-tora (decoration truck) culture in a place with restrictive road transport policies like Singapore. This is a more welcoming sight compared to those cars with offset rims and wheels.
Proud of you brother, thanks for cheering up the lives of other ordinary people 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Cheers! 🥂🥂🥂
Keep up the positive and inspiring work Teddy! Salute!
Love what you do, and do it with passion. Respect.
Nice to see that we have a strong, united trucking community here in SG as well. Hope they will represent our nation well to the global trucks community!
Love it! It’s awesome!
Lovely video, would u like to do another documentary about the convertibles club in SG?
DM us on IG!
MP said take bicycle haha
Way to go guys. Um very proud of u guys. God Bless all of you...
He has a beautiful heart
You know u join a great community when u get spirit of brotherhood and do charity at same time,even if its small
Good work..keep up the good work 👍
Wow this is amazing. Great vid. Anyway I really don’t recall anyone saying that truckers cause accidents. So not sure what’s with this stigma
This is the 1st time I know about this ABAM ABAM: Singapore Young Heavy Vehicle Drivers.
Not too many young Cina on the trucks,young ones lazy lah!.Tidak apa apa,Trucks SATU Darah,one 🩸.
@@vtecpreludevtec maybe it's not so glammy job....?
God bless you guys! 👊
Respect from Australia! 🤙
Abang, you are a legend. Love what you do and do what you love. Passion always leads to peak performance. I salute you and your members. Your and your mates are true bred Singaporean. Well done and keep it up. All the best and stay safe. Cheers
Nice. In Japan, the trucks are mostly chrome finish and super clean. On the road it is like a mobile showroom.
WE AFGHANI UA-camRS OF NEW ZEALAND LOVE YOUR CHANNEL 🙏🙏🙏✌️✌️✌️
quality content
Power la bro....... Respect!
This is so cool!
Oooh y'all covered this topic like great big story and the Japan truckers hahah
But the japan trucker has make a way for indian sticker
Yes they were inspired by the dekotora culture! Unfortunately they can't leave their decorations on the whole time in SG
Unsung heroes! Respect!
I trust them more than I trust e scooter riders who ride at 30kmh on the pavement and knock down people just to deliver food.
Appreciate bro
5:40 Now that's living truthfully to yourself
They are real heroes
Truck drivers in Singapore are among the safest drivers! Unlike van drivers who thinks they driving a car, speed here speed there then lost control. But if we’re talking about Msian trucks that comes into Singapore, ahh that one different la.
Terbaikkk Abam Abam Truckers 🤘😎🤘
You are proud to be a truck driver. I'm proud of all of you.
Have to watch this twice. One to watch the trucks and one to watch the subtitles.
i didnt even know this exist but this is amaziiiing
You also can find it in London UK too, It is called Truck Festival Peterborough London UK.
I Chinese can join the community?
They should have a discord channel so they can talk with each other during callouts.
True essence of life. Trucking. God bless from Dubai.
Apparently a lot of those "Art Trucks " In Japan are called "Dekotora"
Let's just say Japan is a little bit more hardcore with decorating their trucks and spending on the decorations could be equivalent to the price of a house in Japan
But the trucks drivers have no regret and are satisfied
A vid about those art Trucks

@noobmaster69
Memang ada bro...tetapi undang2 di Singapura amat keras jadi utk membuat full modifikasi amat terbatas.Harga bayaran saman(fine) agak tinggi.

Singapores' version of hollywood movie called 'convoy'
we must understand these truck drivers grievances. at least on they're initial operatives mode right from the beginning they need a few moment for certain gadget and gauges to filled up before makes their way. thus their rumbling noise is inevitable. to make a turn their manouvering skill is far greater than cars and other simple mobility stances eats up times and our patient. that is why we get iritated sometimes from their behaviour. I am not trying to be hostile here but these profession does had some setback. then without their effort probably the shelves and isles look scarse if not empty.
Salute truckers !
Nice that the truckers are earning decent living, work hard and even contribute to charity.
But I do wonder with the blind spots of trucks already so wide, are the curtains at the side and huge stickers at the front helping ?
The led light approved by lta?
Abam² pilot truck ni...next
at the time frame 5.16 a guy was using what i think is a vape
Never see this before
Come for inspection bro...we see 👀
That time i saw them at geylang when hari raya
Can make video of a life of a crawler crane operator...?
