There is, however, something unique about taxi business. The taxi drivers’ license can only be issued to Singapore citizens. I don’t know any other jobs in Singapore that has this requirement. Even the strategically important agencies such as Temasek Holdings, which is responsible for safeguarding hundreds of billions of dollars of Singapore’s public wealth, do not require citizenship for their number 1 position. Therefore, either taxi driving is the most privileged job in Singapore, or it is the last resort to be reserved for Singaporeans when all other jobs shut them out.
