[Update: Straits Times has accused cabby of backtracking on $7000 claims - post here]
Sometimes I wonder why I studied so hard... PSLE, then Olevels, then Alevels, then degree.... just to wash test tubes...

“...got a basic degree, go wash test tube”

Whereas a dishwasher can earn $3,000 a month in Sakae Sushi....
“We would like to confirm that we are recruiting Singaporean or PR dishwashers for SGD 3000. Interested applicants and for enquiries, contact us via email: humanresource@sakaeholdings.com or call us at 6438 6629. We look forward to hearing from you.”

Now we have the cabby taxi driver featured in the Sunday Times (28th October 2012) proclaiming that he is earning $7000 a month!!
Mr Muhammad Hasnor Hashim works 6 days a week for at least eight hours a day.
According to the article, he works from 530am to 10pm, with time to drive his children to his in-law's home, have his meals, take a nap to recharge, and spend time with his family.
All that and he can earn $7,000 a month?
1. If that cabby - Mr. M. H. Hashim, 32, drives for only 8 hours and take home $200 per day after paying his $50 fuel and $100 rental, it means that he collects $43.75 per hour or $0.73 per minute. At that rate, he is occupied on the road with a paying passenger every minute of the 8 hours, with no waiting at taxi stands, airports or anywhere. Is that possible?. I'm sure you have seen long taxi queue at shopping malls, airports and empty taxis cruising around with no passengers. But Mr. M.H. Hashim is occupied in all the 8 hours with a paying passengers! How preposterous and incredible!- Lim James
Seriously, I think next year IRAS gonna have a good time chasing taxi drivers liao....
Well, now degree holders wash test tubes, i wonder what would Ph.D holders do....
Singapore. A great place to make a living if you are a dishwasher or a taxi-driver.
