Another taxi buddy , drove to the nearly police station , when he sense something fishy , indeed , those guys got no money to pay , run , police chase , caught one of them , lock him up , and charge him for cheating , 3 also kena fine and jailed .
For not paying taxi fare .
Taxi drivers are train to sense fishy character , and police station and bang into petrol station when emergency ?
Why Petrol station ?
Cos every petrol station got circuit camera .

And i so sorry , i only kena once , the culprit is an indian , and was a girl .
Too bad , her boyfriend has to pay for her . I nearly report that indian boyfriend to the 2nd Guard CO .
The story is like that ....
Location of pick-up : Boat Quay , outside 7-11 store .
Time : 1.30am .
Customers : One indian gal / one indian guy .
Destination : Khatib 2nd Guard & Sengkang .
Sent guy to Khatib 1st , then gal to Sengkang .
Gal disappear after telling me she go to the lift take $$$ from mum .
My solution : Go back Khatib camp , knock on the Guardroom : " Hey brother , come ! U remember 30 minutes ago , an indian guy with a white long shirt came back ? "
Guard : " Yes , why uncle ? "
I replied : " KNNBCCB , his galfriend chao linpeh taxi fare , call him come out !! "
I added : " That chee bye what name ? I knnbccb will report him to CO , and sent him to detention barrack , for cheating !!! "
Guard : " Relax la uncle , u wait here , i call BOS ! "
Then 5 minutes later , that BOS ( Battalion Orderly Sergeant ) came out , asked : " Uncle , what happen ? "
I tell him the whole story , he immediately told me : " Can uncle , i get him here , i assure you he'll pay you , i witness ."
That tambee came out , i straight away knnbcc to him , he said : " Uncle , really pie-say , i dunno my girlfriend no money , if i know , i'll pay , but now i no money , on monday , when i book-out , i transfer to u , can? U sms me your account , i transfer , can uncle ? "
I ask the BOS to be witness , if i don't receive the $$$ , i'll come back , see the CO .
I make sure he go detention barrack .
KNN , this gal find wrong cabby , found a cabby who knows the army law .
Thats' why i say indian damn stupid , if wanna cheat , wrong way .

New cabby , those below 1 year experience , usually still fresh , anything also no impact to them .... at a later stage when they are a season player , a little bit demand drop , they frustrated easily .
That time ,i target each night is nett $100 from Mon-Thursday , targetted $250 nett on Friday , and $200 on saturday night if i drive .
As a Full Time , i expect nothing than 100% average to my target .... part-time different , part-time $50 also can , $100 even better , $120 is bonus , they still have a FT job to survive .
FT drivers has got different mentallity when they work .

CH8 interview of cabby says cabbie income down by 20% recently. scary news for new starter...
A few months ago my wages down 20% liao .... i posted here on 24th November 2008 , that i forecast a 20% dropped , true right ???And i actually forecast it during October time , when my wages dip bit by bit .
Take my word , next year , 2009 , compare to this year 2008 , i forecast maximum 35% dip for the next one year .

If u think what Gary Mcallister can do during his twilight years , maybe we should welcome Owen back .
No money can buy experience .
He has got the experience we need .
In Real Madird , Newcastle , the 2 mangaers did not know how to make full use of him . Under-use Owen .
Rafa can do it with Owen .
One condition if i sign Owen , injury time , no salary , , and no horse-racing and casino .
Still i don't think Owen is a good addition to our current squad , not that he no good , he can be a bad influence in Anfield , like Steve Mcnamanan.

Back to the Americans , so what happen when the Recession hit them ?
Jobless rate goes up !!! Cos unlike Singapore , no job ? Go drive a cab , still can survive . Our jobless % can be contain , won't go beyond the 16% mark .
Cos taxi are meant to be a re-route for we Singaporeans .
Americans ? I dunno where they land up ?

We just cannot be like those Americans , who never like being a cabby , so their drivers are those Mexican , African and from those South Amecian continent , so what happen ???
1st , even the businessman who wanted to go to World Trade Centre , or Manhatten Square , the drivers dunno where is it ?
I meant imagine , a businessman from UK , with slang British English , gets onboard a PRC cab from the Changi Airport , and said : " One Raffles Quay ! "
And the PRC driver replied : " Dunno , take another cab . "
Then this UK businessman will be in agony , totally no confidence in Singapore .
That's where the phrase : " First impression last ! " come from .
Tp implant confidence into the business , the economy , the business comes from the airport , then the cabbies , then follow by the rest of the business .
Have u heard ? Taxi driver is the Ambassador for Singapore ? Heard that before ?
