History has come a full circle. Private hire was the de riguer mode of transport in the early days. They called it bahwangche. Then the mafia took over and rebranded it as comfort

Old Man is right. He did not want taxi driving to become too comfortable. Probably paid shocking taxi fares while in Brit Shit land. So he formed the Comfort mafia to control the SG taxi industry. A form of modern feudal system. Driver serfs make just enough, most earnings go to the Comfort Lord.

Now Chee bye.
The mafia allow all the cheap foreign serf so that they can get rich even faster.

The local serf has no job, but to work as a taxi driver or Pte hirer.

If The mafia really want to stop, they should stop allowing local serf to drive from the age 45
