Why are taxi companies hiring pinoy taxi drivers now?

[samstom]

Dear The Real Singapore,

I took a cab from my office to ubi this morning and I encounter a Pinoy driving taxi in Singapore. Isn't it illegal?

According to LTA website (source),

You must be at least 30 years old;
You must be a Singapore Citizen holding a pink NRIC;
You must have a valid Class 3/3A Singapore driving licence for a continuous period of at least one year at the point of application; and
You must be able to speak and read basic English.

I am shocked that some Taxi companies are breaking laws by hiring Pinoy to be working as Taxi drivers. Are our local taxi drivers going to be displaced as well? The pinoy speak with a very strong accent that I couldn't understand properly and he was also extremely rude to Singaporeans like me.

I won't be surprised next time the whole country gets displaced with foreigners and that even our ministers are foreigners.

Can LTA please clarify why are these foreigners welcomed into our country as 'Foreign Talents' but work as cab drivers? Are we in shortage of cab drivers?

Nothing amazing. LHL already said sinkapoo belongs to everyone. Foreigners are now everywhere, taxi drivers, bus drivers, etc. Sinkapoo is no more exclusively for sinkies. Sinkies cannot find jobs? It is your business.

It is about time .... the local taxi drivers suck....foreign competition is good.

 

[laksaboy]

Pinoys can be fast-track converted to the pink NRIC club, and them Pinoys also pride themselves in a high competency of English (number 1 in Asia).

So... what's the problem?

Oh ye? Wait till they bring u to Lim chu kang instead of Choa chu kang past midnite!

 

[Froggy]

Come on rules are rules surely PAP don't date to break these rules. We need to probe more if he is a Singaporean. Then we can proceed to ask how come many foreigners are getting citizenship.

China had a Wu Sangui.

Singapore has a Lee Hsien Loong.

[laksaboy]

LOL at these Pinoys.... putting up all that silly Pinoy Pride items inside a taxi.

Yeah, yeah, you go bro! Proud to be Pinoy! :kma:

 

[myfoot123]

LHL sold Singaporeans and bought foreigners
Ho Jinx sold Singapore assets
LKY locked up our CPF.

What is left and what future there is for Singaporeans?

 

[ILovePAP]

What race is Pinoy considered when admitting them as Singapore citizens? Malays? I thought we need to maintain racial proportion? No?

 

[batman1]

Not surprising lah,now in Singapore most MacDonald outlets Managers are also Pinoy and Pinays.Ly La Ly la All are welcome to come into this island to work from white collar to blue collar or no collar....All are welcome especially Foreigners...MIW welcome u with red carpet.

[lianbeng]

lianbeng replies: They are called Singapore new citizens now leh!

 

[Jah_rastafar_I]

don't worry sinkie many sinkies to defend the pinoy.

 

[krafty]

the reason why I stopped driving is because the taxi market is just too saturated compare to 5 years ago, it's just different now. many sharing a small pie, hope that those uncles with degrees fight for their own rights by firing the pap taxi mp.
