Then is your relative going to feed u?
When you were a student in school, did you ever think that "When I grow up, I want to be a taxi driver?"
Obviously not. It is not a career anyone aspires to be in. There are two categories of taxi-drivers here in Singapore, those who do it to make a living, and those who are in it to pass the time (like on a Saturday or Sunday, off from their daily work). From what I see, it is not easy to be in the first category where one needs to make the money to raise a family. In the second category, it is a more meaningful "past time" that spending one's day off at the kopitiam drinking and yakking away with friends.
To your question, there is nothing wrong with being a taxi-driver. It is legal and honest way to earn money, and a personal choice. Nobody forced one to be a taxi-driver. Low esteem? Not at all, it is honest work. Have fun!
Cheers!

I've met many highly motivated and professional taxi drivers in Singapore who are serious about their driving job. I believe if one were to put in extra effort to provide good service to their pessengers he or she will be able to demonstrate their professionalism passengers will look at them with respect and appreciation thus the job is not perceived as low class. If a driver were to boh chap then passengers will view them as low class and scums. So a lot depend of the individual driver how he want his customers to see him.
ya right! taxi drivers are scums, pimp, ah loong runner, drug trafficker etc.
Depending on how you see it. These are "sidelines" to boost income, or added service the cabbie provides. I was in Sri Lanka way back in 1992 when I boarded a taxi and casually asked him where I can buy ganja, he said he'll get it for me and met me later to deliver the goods at the hotel where he dropped me. That was fantastic service! I wonder if Comfort Delgro can offer this?
Cheers!

His relative is all ready to fight the PAP. Are you with us or with the PAP?
Do this kind of service ...pay with life to earn pittance. Sinkees are kiasi in any case.
And the angmos won't pay the fares.
There's probably only group of people I really hate a look down on and they are the people working in Sim Lim or Best Denki or Funan or Courts etc funny these people seem to talk the same, behave the same and hell even similar hair styles. The real worms and scums of society.
Krafty aka hotbod aka dancingshoes,
What do you think? If you have a son and one day he comes home telling you his ambition in life is to be a taxi driver like his dad?
There, you have the answer. Taxi driving is an honest way of making a living but it is certainly not a job that you can be proud of. Making the matters worse is most taxi drivers are scums, gamblers, dua kang boasters, prc chicken chasers etc.

Should be "Taxi drivers are WORSE than animals.".
"Worse" is comparative.
"Worst" is superlative.

right those low class chinese speaking bengs that work in those electronics department stores,challenger,harvey norman,best denki,dont know whether its some kind of hiring policy or just a matter of einstein theory of shit attracting shit relativity,almost every salesmen u encounter in those electronic stores seem to have some attitude problem,major malfunction,arrogant,bo chup,more interested in entertaining themselves and their colleaques then serving customers.
even 30 seconds of service is too much to ask while buying their overpriced garbage.
Yes! I am pretty sure some ministers will come out and say there are cabbies who do it to pass time, you know like a hobby and get to travel while working.
Helo Ms Gin, you seem to curse all these jobs...you know even those who wear neck tie, nice suits are also scums?
Like lawyers....property agents...maybe even secret agent...hahaha
Might as well ask you...then which jobs are where 'nice ppl' found cos from the way you feel...there probably isn't many jobs that seem to have found favor with you!
I visit these places only to see and review products before I buy. For actual purchase I just make a phone call to neighborhood shop like Goh Ah Bee in Kovan and get it delivered.
