I emphasis , u cannot be a cabby if u have intentions to get married and buying a flat .
CPF is very crucial in buying a flat . IR8A also not as powerful !
Still can buy , not say cannot buy .
But when u are tagged "Taxi driver" in that application form , u will have several hurdles to clear , unlike if u have consistent CPF contribution with good salary .
But do not find those jobs in what BCL quote "Contract" basis , unless that contract provides CPF to you .
Like mine case . . i tookover the flat when i was 21 .
Cos we cannot afford to pay cash every month that time , but with CPF easier .
I already owned a 5 room now , from 4 rooms ... so can i be a cabby ? Yes for sure .
Cos at this stage , i dun need them anymore ( CPF ) .
I prefer cold hard cash .
In Singapore , i conceded that one cannot never be rich .
I have to thank God , during my time , i contributed 20% , and boss 20% of the salary to CPF .
Now i don't want to know how much total contributions , cos i dun need to worry .
But newer generation need to worry .
My father bought the 4A HDB at $65,900 at 1987 . 110 square metre , not shoe box HDB hor .
Now 4 room what price ? Size ? I dun want to know .
Driving a cab .... i really cannot imagine what kind of flats HDB allow you to buy ?
Like i say ..... if u are a degree holder , taxi temporary can lah , while driving , really do look out for the real opportunities .
If i am a degree holder . . . i am so sure , i will try my best to be someone up there .

In 1990, a normal u graduate without honour already taking this paid, after 20 over years, still the same and with honour some more, what a joke!!
No wonder the former NWC prof Lin said, wages must go up by at least 50%, meaning most peoples here are underpaid by 50%.
Nabei, I casket driver earn more than a degree holder...what a joke!!! hahahaha
Then when people asked me, Uncle, you go any degrees?
I told them got, left eyes longsighted 150 degree, right eye also 150 degree.

Exactly, and Bro Ang, funny how all these are retired govt officer or public servant, during their tenure with the govt, they never speak up, and now retired or free to go, they speak the truth.
3% Annual increment is a joke against a 5% inflation, U degree per year only increase $90??? Nabie, my casket tips per week more than that liao...a total disgrace. Lai lai, ask a few U grads to carry casket better, I guarantee them 4k
Recently, they wanted to attract back singaporean into industrial, I attended one of the talks, knn, paid only $1,200 to $1,500, wa lau, I told them, roti prata now cheapest $0.80 liao, you want us to eat tau sau peng...knn, bo tao now
i know ..... so far i know .
Cabbies i knew , with degree type , not one with Biological Science Degree .
But quite common Bachelor degree now $3000 basic salary .
This is call depressive wages, all due to the luxury of employers given and spoil for the choice of FTs and many others.
Now what is a degree? Come out still work, more worse, most take themselves as the sandwich group (lower middle income) and spent lavishly, yet hv to compete with FTs, built family or end up at CQ drinking $12 per glass tiger..

Salary too low with a degree like that. Not worth the many years of studying and repaying the study loan. Phui.
Phui, you see those selling credit cards or investment product at MRT tunnels, shopping malls, etc, all U graduates, banks give them bogus designation, like Finanical Consultant, Investment Directors, Product and Banking manager, and so on, all big names, but knn, sell koyo at mrt tunnel?? Then few months ago, retrenched alot at bank, all gone.
Recent survey also shown many youngs are drinking more than our times, all give up hope liao.

Originally posted by Exbanker:It’s a very sad situation in Singapore now. I’m in my late 40s and a graduate, has been jobless for almost a year now. I’m taking my taxi course now and in my class there is another young graduate in his early 30s also jobless for some months now. What’s the point of us striving and studying so hard for a degree at 24 or 25 years old when our working lifespan is only 10 years after that? As a lot of graduates will be faced with the prospect of being retrenched or replaced by the time they are in their mid 30s onwards.
Mr Tommy Koh’s article sums it up very well on the income inequality in Singapore. We are the highest if not one of the highest in the world on this issue. Prof Lim Chong Yah has rightly warned us of this when he first mentioned the wage gap being too wide. If these unhappiness or undertones are not managed well by the government, I fear what life is going to be like in Singapore when it’s my child’s turn to enter the workforce.
wat to do rite bro? the 60.1% support their policies..............
