Singaporean is demanding, try driving in HK, haha, then you will know how easy a job you gei, I mo talent ga, i only know driving, therefore, I drive cab, in hk, in Singapore, guess what, Singapore has better system for cabbies and better tips, try HK cab, how often do you get tip, plus, like me, I drive a red cab, and there are alot of people wants to go far places, like to New territory from HKIsland, that wants 30% discount, if you dun give them, they dun ride, and complain....and guess how much you earn in a day, well, if Chinese New year, I earn about $3500 HKD, if normal day, usually $1000 a shift, and not so good day, well...$500 (We also have to work in Typhoon 8, where no insurence will cover us if we have accident in that tin box Toyota, and if cabbies dun work, those legislative council people will complain of us being arrogen...), then minus LPG for the car of one shift, about $ 300, and rental $ 300/ shift, most HK drivers dun earn much....(I have my own cab, but I pay almost $20,000HKD/ month on payment of one cab (Toyota), because the cab cost about $ 200,000 HKD, but the license cause $ 2,800,000.... talking about easy driving....driving in Spore was alot easier.....but there's only one easier thing....AT gear box on all cab
...and not to mension parking ticket $ 320/ ticket, and the cops like to issue them every 15 min...And annoying customer thats complains no matter what, hell ya, they are DEMANDING!!!
PS: Try waiting in Taxi line in Airport for 4 hours and picked up a person that's only want to ride to Tsun Wan...You will know how mad you can be....plus, we cannot pick customer too, if they complain....I can be fined...
