With the boom of social media, it appears Singaporeans are encouraged, even rewarded (e.g Stomp the main culprit) to complain and whine about our daily inconveniences or brushes with rude service personnel. Take a walk in their shoes, they are dealing with difficult people all day every day for hours at a stretch, and after couple of years it grinds them down. We don't have the luxury of a 30hour work week like some European countries have. Some of these people even do two jobs just to make ends meet. And that's why nowadays when i receive a spam telemarketing call I politely say, no thank you and hang up, rather than give an expletive filled tirade like I used to do. "Live and let live" is an excellent motto. |

Taxi Drivers in Singapore We understand the nature of the job, isolation and stress on the roads. What I do not understand is the bad manners from taxi drivers, what justifies this bad behaviour. Having said that I also feel that the bad drivers are in the minority. I feel that the taxi industry would be much better if drivers were able to purchase their own taxi's and perhaps raise their levels of income and pride, instead of working for big companies making the money. Also there should be standards of cleanliness and perhaps a uniform to make the image better. Lastly the taxi's need to be maintained properly, how many times have you been in a taxi where the suspension is groaning, the tyres are balding and God knows the state the rest of the vehicle is in. There is a need for a re-look at the industry. Apologies to the majority of taxi drivers who are good people and striving to earn a living. God bless you for the good service you provide. |

| Unregistered | I have a local degree (engineering) with decent honors so shouldn't be a problem passing the basic English test. Sounds like a good career option, have a free car to drive around too. Will check it out! | |

There's a taxi course with online test... will test you on basic english, places of interest and road routes in singapore.... Better be quick if you want to take up taxi driver license as a backup... although the profession might be perceived as a lowly profession compared with the others.. but there is no other job that can immediately put instant cash in your hands when you need it the most.... 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...
