Peter Yu, the former actor who was also television compere Quan Yifeng's ex husband, is now apparently a taxi driver.

Shin Min Daily reported that he is currently earning roughly $150 a day in his new profession.

The Chinese newspaper spoke to Yu over the phone and found out that he is now a Christian, and that he has since remarried someone who volunteers at the church he goes to.

Yu is slated to shed light on his life, including details on the period after his highly-publicised divorce with Quan, in an interview due to air on Oct 1.

The couple's divorce was finalised in 2009, and they were both granted shared custody of their daughter.

Meanwhile, Quan has suggested that Yu has not tried to make contact with his daughter even though he says he misses her a lot.

It is understood that Yu is poised to apologise for certain things in his life, some of which may be related to his divorce with Quan, and also talk about how much he misses his daughter, who lives with Quan.

When the Chinese newspaper spoke to Quan about this, she did not buy his sentiments, claiming instead that he didn't want to initiate contact.
 
This Peter Yu is a Malaysian chap right?
His acting career cannot pick up and ended up running his own business which doesn't make it.
Heard he was in debt and now have to drive taxi.
 
$150/day sounds like a face-saving figure.

I think one can easily discount that by about half.
 
The rental for the new SMRT taxi can easily cost $150/day.
Petrol can easily cost $40/day.
Let's say parking only cost $10/day.
Total cost of driving a SMRT taxi = $200/day.

Supposing "on average" each customer's taxi fare = $20/trip
He will need to have 10 customers to break even for that $200/day expenses.
He will then need to take another 7 to 10 customers for his daily earnings of $140/day to $200/day.
Supposing "on average" he drives only 12hrs/day.
In reality can he really take so many customers within that number of hrs?
 
After spending so much $$$ to fix his noise (Plastic Surgery) now a taxi driver!!! May be the church he goes to isn't the right church for him... CHC will make him a Star!

lianbeng asked: his name is 宏荣 why call him Peter Yu? :rolleyes:
 
i remember his name was Yu 宏荣 till the early 90s, then one day his name became 宏荣.

Probably he wanted to use a new name to start a new life.
His surname is still Yu and he prefer use Peter as his new name.
No more 宏荣 for him.

On second thought, maybe even half is on the generous side.

So, probably net monthly earnings of $1,500-1,800.

Just enough to keep body and soul together.

Hurray!

Anything to make Quan look bad is good news.
Everytime I turn on the tv and she's on, the channel gets turned or the tv gets switched off.
Even Mark Lee and Zoe Tay I can tahan, this one I simply cannot anymore.

You never know. He may have a selected list of clientele. So, $150 is possible just to fetch someone to and fro the airport.
