      Notice that hardly anyone made noise about the other taxi driver than said he earns 6k a month.

        even for this $7k taxi driver, he did not deny ever making $7k, neither did he deny other months clocking $5k or $6k

            Well... what to do if the average taxi driver would rather queue for more than 1 hour at Changi Airport at say 9.00pm than go down to the UDMC seafood centre 10 mins away where there is inevitably a queue of people waiting for taxis? If taxi drivers refuse to go to where the customers are... 🤷

                    In that case, it is something like skill level right?


                    In your previous post, why would the family situation cause a downgrade of competency level? it is more like commitment level lower only rite?

                    yes more like commitment level.. as in order to practice competency 3-5 you really have to commit a lot of your time, probably even sacrifice weekends (unless you are a seasoned ang moh-- can sweet talk anyone so they have to do less) -- opps quite xenophobic of me to say that...!

                      Need to restructure our economy, industries who cannot survive without employing Singaporeans should either relocate or close.

                        I don’t believe a biz will close bcoz of cannot find workers.


                        biz only close when there is no business…

                        Take the case of the restaurant. If the food is good, there will be customers. At most the queue or waiting time is longer.

                        btw, last weekend got this 财经追击 talking about small biz innovating and emerge stronger with smaller workforce and finding the right workers.

                        If there’s a will, there’s a way.

                        Quoting what was mentioned in other forums… biz have too long been addicted to cheap workers like drugs… when the supply is cut, all the withdrawal symptoms appear.

                        Another one talked about his friend complain to him that biz is hard hit, workers asking more salary, biz cannot survive. So he asks his friend, "Didn’t you just changed a new car? how much do you take home every month?" His friend diam diam.

                        So, can only ask the workers to face the competition and adjust their salary expectation… cannot ask the employers to bite the bullet and accept the challenges (of restricted access to cheap foreign labour)?
