Not too sure if the authorities will slowly open the flood gates for FT to also infiltrate this sector like for the bus drivers... the Retirees/Unemployed better pray hard hard.. pray that the taxi operators companies will not give into their greed.. and allow FT to come in and snatch the very last ricebowl( paperplate ) away...

The only advantage that locals have over the FTs is local knowledge, which reduces the training time required. Not only taxi driving, but other professions as well (e.g. law). For taxi driving, once the technology for GPS becomes more reliable, you can be certain that the SG drivers will be replaced by FTs. The SGs can then move on to do jobs that FTs don't want to do.
