last SG · 2009-06-21T11:47:44+00:00

next time me off and go clark quay…. i will pick and choose the cab i like…. likely choose the black merc or skoda…. haha… wish tried liao loh…..crown? dun w...

frenzs SG

no la ..... IRAS don't go so into extend to claim tax from u like that , they got better things to do .

But taxi drivers must submit income tax to pay Medisave , that's all .

Get caught without paying Medisave , ai yo yo ..... one time they whack you , jiat lat sia !!!

Does relief driver also need to declare income tax on this? I hold a day job too. Do I have to pay additional Medisave? Should think not right?

If so, how much earned is not taxable or they lump together with my day job income and tax as one?

Thanks.

Poolman SG

if i were you , i mean legally , must submit la .... to be good citizen ma .

But .... why part with precious cold hard cash ?

If i were u , i will not submit .

Then if they ask , why take up taxi ? As alternative transport , leisure , not business . They also cannot do anything .

ALN SG

ask u, those with day job, when they give tuition or work part time in petrol station or work as store assistant or work as hotel waiter, do they declare?

CM840_2009 SG

want to declare or dont want to declare, dont come and ask people here, just decide yourself and pray hard you dont get into trouble :)

Poolman SG

want to declare or dont want to declare, dont come and ask people here, just decide yourself and pray hard you dont get into trouble :)

Ya la , like what army always taught me : " U can do anything , just do get caught ! "

Poolman SG

I am always quite anti for this sort of departments , i am certainly not going to make them get my money easy ...

Want my money , do your work , find me !

I can guarantee them that i am not going to sent them my money volunteerily .

Just like smoking malaysia-packed cigarettes , it's so easy for them to post Poster telling us the offense of smoking unpaid taxes cigarettes .

I still do it ........ my buddy warn me , i told back : " if they are capable and hardworking enough to catch me smoking unpaid taxes cigarettes , they fully deserve the money , i will be glad to pay them .

I work for my money , they too have to work for their money .

Pay them volunteerily ? Over my dad body , hahahahaha .

Poolman SG

They are civil servants , still they same old civil servants .... civil servants still civil servants , work monthly pay one , metallic rice bowl , what u expect their attittude to be ?

Don't laugh die me .

AxelC SG

It's finally my turn to take the VDL test. Good luck to me. Thanks Poolman and ALN shifu for guidance. Thanks CM840_2009 for the tips as well. Cheers

ALN SG

good luck…. but i think the content seriously need update… with new expressways and road and fares…. like 10 year outdated liao…. just like the stupid looking crown…. haha

Poolman SG

ALN , u dun play play with Crown and their hirer , they are the oldies' baby .

My taxi friend from the same car wash , he actually signed up for another 3 years for his old Crown .

They have the oldman's mentallity , cheaper rental , now his rental $88 with gst , compared to Sonata $100 , $12 per day .

$6 per shift of 2 .

So the $6 damn big , can make him a millionaire u know ?

I kept telling him , if one night i took $18 paxes , Sonata and Wish can earn $3.60 extra oready . He only save $2.40 .... he didn't know , $2.40 for a Sonata comfort , is 100% worth it . And he didn't know , the new facelift Sonata , fuel consumption is lower than the old facelift , definitely compared to the old Crown .

Poolman SG

Looked like Sgp will have old crowns on the road for at least another 3 years before obsolete .

Poolman SG

Another of my taxi mate's hirer from car wash , his Crown left 4 months , going to scrap , sekali last 2 weeks ago , piang !!! Someone hit his hirer's backside .

Damage was severe ..... sent for scrap . Comfort said no point repairing .

So my taxi mate was damn happy liao , finally he can drive a Sonata .

But then hor ..... Comfort instead of giving him a brand new Sonata , gave him an old 2 year old Crown .

My mate damn dulan liao , confront the hirer , the hirer said he prefer a Crown , Sonata rental expensive , problematic etc excuse . So he opt for an old Crown under Comfort recommendation . Comfort told him old Crown has got better benefits .

My friend dulan liao quit , now this old man OMO , see how long can drive OMO without a relief . All relief , esp night drivers , if can chose , will never chose a Crown . Crown can hardly get any relief .

ALN SG

u must tell the crown hirers… nowadays pax choose cab type liao… like me confirm wont take crown…. i want to try other auto cabs like wish, prime, skoda…. if dun have then i may take sonata…. but nowadays got many red wish…. no problem…

CM840_2009 SG

uncle Pool's english is damn funny to read, i sat in a crown taxi yesterday, can hear the engine from inside, but short journey so i dont mind

CM840_2009 SG

It's finally my turn to take the VDL test. Good luck to me. Thanks Poolman and ALN shifu for guidance. Thanks CM840_2009 for the tips as well. Cheers

Thanks for the wishes CM840_2009. I failed. Not able to pass in 1 sitting.

Poolman SG

WTF , u failed ???

Nevermind , try again ..... so tough meh taxi course ?

Go and analyse where is those mistakes .

Poolman SG

must be silly mistakes .

Ok , tell us your weakest subject ? Landmark ? Or buildings ? Road name ?

CM840_2009 SG

Hello Unker Pool, you think so easy har, you go and take the test, see can get 100/100 or not :) , seriously i feel it is tough too. but i lucky or got study hard, then can pass in 1 sitting. if i dont pass in one sitting very pai seh.

AxelC: which paper did you fail, ai yo, i really worry you fail then you really fail, please dont be upset, take again lor

AxelC SG

must be silly mistakes .

Ok , tell us your weakest subject ? Landmark ? Or buildings ? Road name ?

I failed section 2 and section 5.

Section 2: Routes and Landmark
Section 5: Name & Location of Buildings

Seriously and honestly, I put in alot of effort studying and I only got 1 incorrect mistake but I failed. Just failed by 1 mark only. Each time also like that. Horrible!

By the way, not only did I failed, alot of other people failed too. None of them managed to pass by 1 single attempt. Those in the morning came back in the afternoon. Failed same section with me. 2 and 5. An uncle failed section 5 3 times and paid $45 in total.

2 of my friends I got to know from Excursion failed Section 2. Another one failed Section 2, 3 and 5. So I think I didn't do so badly after all.

The questions are still lingering in my head, questions like:

- Which Road is Israel Embassy located at?
- Where is Norwegian Embassy?
Many many questions about Embassy until I crazy....
I studied about Embassy in Napier Road, The British Council,
- Embassies at Nassim Road, Japan, Turkey, Phillipines, Russian and Saudi Arabia
- Embassies at Orchard Road, Peru, Netherlands, Germany Thai and New Zealand High Comm

Also did ask about which road is Canossian School for the Hearing Impaired (This is not mentioned during Excursion)

Suddenly asked about Hotel Windsor also which I got it right cos I always take bus 62 and knew it is located at Macpherson but not many of the other candidates knew about this. Sijori Resort, alot of them got it wrong as well. Garden Hotel too, at Balmoral Road confused many of us.

Got this question, "Where is Villa Delle Rose located?" also for "Astrid Meadows" and many more...

AxelC: which paper did you fail, ai yo, i really worry you fail then you really fail, please dont be upset, take again lor

I got study hard too CM840_2009, I can't accept failure in myself as I'm a perfectionist. I passed my Basic Theory 1st attempt, passed my Final Theory 1st attempt, TP 1st attempt and when my online taxi course, I passed all 1st attempt. I should say, the online quiz really doesn't help at all! Must study the book! WTF sia??!!!

But I won't give up, will carry on taking it. My exam started 9am, end up I retake my exam so many times till 5pm... so malu~~~
