How can it be considered self employed if people have to set targets for you to meet?
I rent a shop from a landlord but the landlord should not have the right to tell me how many products I have to sell every month or how much money I need to make every month.
I have already paid the monthly rental to her and the legal obligation (rental) is fulfilled.
If targets can be set like these, then it should be that TDs are actually employees of the cab companies.
You better check with Capital Mall first

TDs are hirers lah..self employed and sign contract, must play by the rules...Taxi Co. and LTA.Rent shop from landlord also got rules one..It's all in the contract. Some shops cannot suka suka becum kopi tiam or sell items that are prohibited in your contract.
Except the rules for TDs are getting more and more restrictive due to public feedback.
I agree cannot suka suka sell any product.
But to tell you that you need to sell a minimum 50 dresses a month? Or make $1000 a month?

companies very smart. use this opportunity to chop incentives and issue penalties.
LTA said liao. all companies met the targets except Prime.but almost all companies are chopping incentives and issue warning except PRIME! what a joke lor.

Prime not interested in increasing their fleet. They fcuk care the LTA rule. They treat the taxi fleet as part of their leasing business nia.
But, I am very surprised TransCab did it...The rest are GLCs, so boh bian must follow law.

Transcab in a way is also link to govt, the shareholders are top civil servants, in Singapore, to do a nos 2 business, if you hv no govt backing, you can hardly cough it out, TC is the nos 2 hor. In the intial liberalisation of Taxis industrial, many players was asked to join in so as to make it very colorful, a real world of competition, real privatisation with lots of color cabs, and there was no restriction on this and that, most car leasing companies were invited to become a player, so, those like smart, prime who had thought it is a easy going business, rent out car as taxis..but as times goes by, they are also hit by new restriction and all these shits. They did not plan to care much about drivers, as long as rental fees are paid, whatever drivers do is not going to be an adminstrative cost to them. -
The ironic of it is that at the end of the day, the public squeeze LTA, LTA squeeze taxi companies, taxi companies squeeze taxi drivers, and unlike all kinds of evolution in a circle, taxi driving is different, it just end death on the TD, we got nobody to squeeze...that is why as I said before, if got time, go squeeze some bak bak neh neh, at least can stress relieve abit.

Let take it as a farm, whereby the farmer works in the padi field, the land, the seed, the buffalo, the cart, the farmer workers..and so on, at the end of the day, who sacrifice the most? the buffalo lor, hv to plough the field, have to ride the people around in a buffalo cart, and at the end of it, get slaughter and feed others. Taxi driver are the buffalo in the taxi industrial, hv to go out and drive, have to slogg inorder to get some food on the table, hv to take people around and end up, get all kinds of restriction and regulations set by others that end up a gain for all, except us, the taxi drivers.

Transcab is owned by Teo Kiang Ang with 41 million shares. The rest are minority private shareholders with a few thousand shares, except for Tan Lee Tiang with 9.9 million shares.
Civil servants, especially top ones are not allowed to hold shares in private companies lah.. They are only appointed to the board as officers/directors of the companies, not shareholders. CDG, SMRT, Citycab shareholders are companies, not individuals. Ppl like Yang Ban Seng, Desmond Kuek, Lim Jit Poh, Kua Hong Pak, Chin Harn Tong are directors of the taxi companies, not shareholders. They are appointed directors to represent the interests of their parent companies who are the shareholders.

Teo is a city spring top civil servant, and because of city spring gas, teo come out with an idea of using CNG cab, a proposal he forwarded to EDB and industrial minister to open CNG kisoks, with it, he gathered many of his kakis, mostly top civil servants to invest with him while he holds the majority shares.
-
With Transcab is to go into IPO, they will not make it, City Spring created by temasek was a failure, Teo being one of the top management there suggested CNG taxis, and he offered temasek a way out of it investment in City Spring, initial City Spring offer was 1.50, today is hover around a dollar and below, only good is their pathetic dividends. If TC is to cut off CNG, which they are diverting to diesel, City Spring will lost more, Teo in a way, is not obligated to public opinon as TC is not listed, that is also why, complain ta boleh jalan one

Teo was never a civil servant. City Spring is an infrastructure business trust set up by Temasek and Teo is not on its board of directors nor is he an officer of the trust.
He may have worked with them on certain projects, but that does not mean he is a civil servant.

You got to be serious here, there is no way u can set up a cab company, 2nd largest and a direct competitor of cdg, of course every colonel or captain can said, I was not in the army now. TC investors are mostly ex and present civil servants, without that connection, that gain, you think govt will allow you to do this and that??? open CNG kiosks and so on, same goes to Seng Siong and NTUC fairprice
