So far I dun think there are any restriction other than for pple who are convicted of drug and drink driving etc.

But u can call LTA and check it out.

rapist cannot - becos.. the rottan ( min 12 strokes ) whacked onto buttocks... cabby need to sit and drive for long hours... cannot tehan...

to TS... best is to check with LTA (even before you pay and register for application).. i believe that is a duty-officer for enquires (in a room). Good luck.

Uncle Poolman has got a friend , imprisonment for man-slaughtering .

8 years .

He asked Pool this same question , Uncle Poolman told me what he told him : " Just give it a shot , u never know if u dun try ."

That ex-convict tried , successfully he got his TVDL .

And no turning back since .

My answers is , like Uncle Poolman : " Give it a shot ! "

Can ? Good for you .

Cannot ? Too bad , at least u tried .

Jus apply for the approval, no harm try only 40 bucks. LTA will look into case by case basis . if kana rejected, try to ask for reasons, worse seek ur mp help . as for drug traffickers, forget about everything u r condemned !!

In our country, we were being well taught by our government on doing wat is right and wat is wrong. and for things that we did wrong we be punished by means of money ine or put behind bars. But some offences are unable to tolerate ..

well anything things also can try .. good luck bros

Demo76 SG

Thanks all bros for your feedback.

Like what Freemanisa had said, the offence is rather sensitive to TD trade. If i can recall few years back, some cabbies were caught transporting ciggies and cause their taxi to be impounded by the authority and cause cab company to lose $$$$$. After that, they became v stringent.

So bottomline is still have to try, never try never know…. sigh….....

No matter what, yellow ribbons deserve a second chance, who do not make mistake in life?, perhaps lots of TD make mistake in their earlier life, but the issue is not about making mistake, it is about learning from the mistake and be good again.

As a TD, we are both earning and also help to contribute to the society and economy as a whole, we should be proud it. Taxis companies should therefore provide that chance to those ex convict who wants to take on a new life. And we, as TD, should welcome them with no discrimination.
