Yeah but in the old days during 80s taxi driver can earn a respectable income.Hawkers have been 'glamorized' by the 158th presstitutes at the behest of the PAP regime. Feature articles about young and enthusiastic hawkers who have attained good academic accomplishments. Vivian waxing lyrical about the need to have a 'hawker academy' to train the next generation of hawkers.
Taxi drivers are more of less fucked by the arrival of PHVs. Also, the clusterfuck of numerous payment options, which in my opinion only serves to 'create jobs' for the customer service clowns manning the hotlines whenever there is a payment dispute.
You get the idea.
So why make it sound so sad to have father taxi driver?
