Most of them are concerned with issues such as personal safety and prefer not to drive to remote areas at night or ferry drunk passengers. For this reason, taxi companies have installed “panic buttons” in taxis for the benefit of all drivers.

This MP is a disgrace. Career wise no direction and jumps from one sector to another. Since becoming an MP he was given a job in NTUC and supposed to look after Taxi driver under the Taxi Drivers Association since 2012. He is now asking how many female taxi drivers.

His official CV has been missing since 2015.
