Had a rather heated discussion with my aunt this morning and that kinda spoil my mood for the morning. Actually i'm just not happy with a statement she made and she's like unaware of the economy out there. She was telling me her friend who lives in one of those semi detached house along East Coast road and he is a cab driver.
Upon hearing that, I jus don't believe a guy driving a cab to own a landed property. but she is down there claiming that i look down on people without giving me a chance to speak up.
Hello!!! people out there... its not that i look down on those cab drivers (My dad is a bus driver too) but just take a look at Singapore's economy nowadays.. Unlike the olden days taxi drivers, the drivers are earning a modest salary sometimes even only sufficient to fill their stomachs and they still have to face stiff competition. Btw the flag down rate in Singapore is also the lowest in the world ( don't mention about exchange rates)
Worst come to worst, my aunt didnt even mention that her friend bought the landed property decades ago and he is of retiring age. Ok first if u tell me that the landed property is bought decades ago i can understand that cos property rates is definetely cheaper in the olden days.. Second, that fellow is of retiring age and his two daughters are teachers. Of course they got have the means to buy landed property with their combined income.
Anywayz i jus want to tell those people out there.. if u were of retiring age and loaded with lots of cash ( even enough to buy urself a landed property), pls for god sake, don drive a cab.. give those poor chaps out there a chance to earn more money... If u got lots of free time, do go and enrol urself in some activities!
