I am a ex sbs bus captain. Ask me anything..

[jurongkechil]

To me, lower income its ok and the most important is to have a stable job that can provide long term consistent income for say 10 years to 20 years.

Sadly, to say the most of the PMET jobs are short term and cannot provide that

One of them ask me,should he take the 800k ringgit buy a condo at msia or shop house to rent out and retire

 

[syed putra]

Yes the only plus point of drive sbs bus is after 20 years, cpf can have 200k and above.many Malaysian pr ex colleague now consider revoke pr,take the 200k plus cpf out to msia, become 800k ringit, and retire

Not sure if RM800k enough to retire unless you live like a monk in Jiu hu.

 

[syed putra]

My scooter license sufficient to be a bus captain?

I like to drive the double decker Alexander Dennis bus. Strong and smooth v12 engine

I've sat in those MAN single deck bus operated by SMRT. Their pick up is very fast indeed, even when fully loaded.

Too expensive. Go to kukup. Or pontian. I believe they just completed a new bridge for a short cut to Tuas. No need apartment. No maintenance fees. Everyday fresh fish and chicken

Do not play with bus. 1 single decker 10 ton le. If inside full passenger,add another 3 ton. Total 13 ton. Car only 1 ton. Even if a bus hit a small car at 30km per hr,the small car gone case..

Driving public bus at that kind of pay is modern day slavery.
Anyway most of them voted for PAP. They deserve to be slaves.

Most are foreigner.singkie is minority there as work very tough.

 

[jurongkechil]

China man lagi best. One month 4000. Times 5 is 20000 rmb. They work 3 year can go back China retire at age 30 le. Singkie work 50 year also cannot retire as get 3000 plus a month only..

That's why I posit the theory that China drivers under stress will do hazardous actions.

They have no recourse and resigning isn't an option.

 

[sbfuncle]

As per above topic.

1. If some uncles don't tap card their card will you ask them to tap? Especially if is your friend or relative etc will you close eyes?
2. If you see someone tapping with the senior sound but doesn't look old will you check their IC or ask for age verification?

Not all la.i met nice China colleague that are helpful...

I'm not saying all are psychologically unstable.

But it's normal that when there is no outlet or recourse for your issues, violence will be the result. Read of many China driver involved in accidents and I bet more than half are deliberate.

Yeah I belonged to this group for 20 over year's having a stable easy job with not high income nor very low, consistently saving majority of my take home pay. My luck ran out finally. But nevermind I have already saved up cash + cpf accumulated over the few decades. And now I can work 12-24 hrs per wk for exercise and mental well beings rather than the money. When I had sufficient savings at one point in time, I could try out jobs that I find them to be interesting to have a taste of different kind of life's without having to worry about salary.

The world will be much better if everyone thinks like you. There is no point to catch people and benefit the bus company especially if they belong to cheng hu.

Yes bro, I had seen managers who earned about $10,000 a month worked for only 1 year they got fired and some only worked about 7 to 8 months in a PMET job.

Their unemployment period sometimes can more than 6 months to find another job, not easy now. In the last 10 years, almost none of the PMET able to stay on to a job for more than 2 years either they got fired or forced to resign.

I consider myself lucky that I am able defeated the and hold on to my job in those difficult years. Now I am also working
