Saturday night.picked up 2 men, one local and one Chinaman from
night club in Peace Centre. Just as the local about to alight along
Bt Merah Central, he asked me a question who do I vote. I said
"opposition with my heart and strength" He left with a cold
smile.
Next, with the lone China man sitting in front towards Ang
Mo Kio, he asked me what I am not happy with PAP. I said "I am not
happy with too many foreigners taking away our jobs and too many
scholarships given to them in schools and universities."
He intelligently asked me how many of my passengers are
foreigners like him. I said, " about 35% foreigners, some
are just tourists on short stay." "You trying to tell me if
you all are not here, I'll have less 35% income ?"
He went on to say Singapore welcome him and he
loves Singapore ( As a country, and not its lower class
citizens , I guess).Taxi drivers should be thankful
to foreigners like him for the trips.
What irritated me was he said I was like him, also an
immigrant.That I don't have dark coloured skin.etc.......and his
voice got louder and louder after I remain quiet to listen to
his points. Each time I tried to reply him, he cut in
with his loud voice.
I was on the CTE when I got damn crazy. yelled at him
with all my vocal strength."I was born here long before the
independence of Singapore." I was among one who created
Singapore and not Singapore created me ! You got it, many people
don't welcome you.If I were you I go home, don't be a shame
here......bro...ther."
It worked...his voice softens, "just send me to Blk 320 safely,
mister." "Actually I am now PR,from Beijing,I am very rich in China
and now I trying to buy coffeshops in Singapore." "Just
now my Singapore friend got down in Bt Merah is running for MP in
Singapore."
"Huh...who is he ?, as I tried to figure who is he? Not
possible, at this time so busy also can going drinking with you in
nightclub?
Reached Amk 320, $15. Gave $12 notes, said not enough, how ? I
said, "You said you very rich, take taxi everyday, you meet so many
hundreds taxi drivers, today this one here is special one, the one
in one thousand taxi driver in Singapore."" You no need to pay me,
just go home to Beijing and enjoy spending your money there." " I
give you receipt, I yelled at you, you not happy with me, go tell
your MP friend,or complain to the authority.........make me retire
earlier lah.......xia xia
