hirer and relief
is best to have a good relationship, but it come very hard,
somewhere down the line, sure got some problem one lah.
Frankly, not being racist or making remark on any race, I find
Malay hirer very easy going, as a super relief, I see most, but not
all, are good hirer, they take care of their relief and never make
a issue out of small problem like a few mintues lates, or fuel
meter goes down faster than normal, or mats not clean..so on. And
when you discuss with them on timing,or that you are unable to
drive or you want to drive at this period, that time, they are open
to listen and understanding.
I got this malay hirer who use to call me for hari raya, haji or
when he goes on holidays and so on, our understanding and
friendship had come to an extend of visiting each other family,
hari raya, I will bring my family to visit his home and CNY, he
will visit me, each with gift and ang bao, our wifes also
know each other very well, my son once even give math tuition to
his kids, and when come to driving, we do our part and alway have a
good chat before driving off before changing shift or taking over.
And because of good networking, if his friends who are also cabby
need relief, he will call me. The only thing they do not allow in
the cab, is dog, which is actually not allowed by the rule
I believe that hirer and relief relationship need to be build,
nurture and bring the best out of it, but somehow, many start good
and end negatively. For that, I leave the last quote that this
malay buddy of my left behind "There are tons of money in
Singapore, as a TD, how much can you scope?"
