Up with smiles, down with odour for Singapore
cabbies
SINGAPORE (AFP) - Singapore cabbies have been told to show some
warm smiles when they ferry delegates to the International Monetary
Fund and World Bank meetings in September, reports said.
An estimated 8,500 taxi drivers were given a 66-page handbook by
the Workforce Development Agency on what they should and should not
do during the meetings, the Today newspaper said.
On the no-nos list are body odour,
fidgeting while driving and having too many accessories, it
said.
Cabbies are however encouraged to smile and act as tourism
ambassadors for Singapore, giving pointers to delegates on the
city-state's attractions.
In short, cabbies must "look good and feel good with positive
self-talk," the handbook said.
The IMF and World Bank meetings will be the biggest international
gathering ever to come to Singapore. About 16,000 delegates from
180 countries are expected to attend.
Last month Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong launched the "Four
Million Smiles" project as he urged all citizens and foreigners
living in Singapore to exercise maximum hospitality.
