If Mr Miyagi's story as told by taxi driver is true, then really sad day for S'pore

[Confuseous]

I rode in a cab yes*ter*day to a meet*ing, and the dri*ver was apolo*getic the moment I got on. He didn’t know where my des*ti*na*tion was, and asked if I had a pre*ferred route I knew of, and if I could guide him. He said it was only the sec*ond day he’d been dri*ving, and that it was his friend’s taxi.

I asked why his friend would let him drive the cab when he was so blur with direc*tions, and by fur*ther admis*sion, didn’t know how to use a GPS. He replied that he was, with two other friends with taxi dri*ver licenses, help*ing out the renter of the taxi to make the daily rental of $130 while he recu*per*ated from treat*ment for a “mild stroke”.

Appar*ently, their efforts in ask*ing the taxi com*pany for a rent-free period had been in vain, and the com*pany had actu*ally said that if the rent was in arrears for more than three days, the taxi would be leased to some*one else, and the renter would have to start over with a new appli*ca*tion if he so wished, but only after pay*ing his dues.

If this is true, then, I com*mend the taxi com*pany for try*ing to keep more cabs on the road. We, the pub*lic, really don’t care if your dri*vers are sick or not.

This is apparently a fact.... there is never deferment for rent in the case of MC for taxi drivers.....

Just go ask ANY NTUC Comfort cab driver and they will confirm..... drivers hate NTUC but bo pian...they cornered the market ... these drivers got little or no bargaining power ... the irony is that NTUC is a trade union?? hahahahaha

sinkies really deserve their fate.....

I remember some elite PAP MP boasted that Spore is run like a MNC. So this cold blooded attitude shouldn't come as a surprise .

So how do you know that the taxi driver who had a stroke in Miyagi's story is not one of the 20%??
