I don’t want to be a cab driver
Official media are written by paid professionals who carefully checked and verified their facts before printing. They even have editors and proof readers to go through their writings before appearing in prints. The quality and credibility of official media as far as factual reporting is concerned is unquestionable. Who would believe that NYT or Washington Post or CNN or Foxy News etc would print half truths or misleading articles to con their readers? No, they are very respectable media according to their believers and followers.
I was so convinced that a cab driver can earn $7000 per month less cost, which means his gross income was likely to be more than $10k, that I wanted to upgrade to become a cab driver. I am so lucky that I also read the unprofessional media written by unpaid and unprofessional bloggers. They are saying that this $7000 cab driver is a fake. Now I have to choose to believe the unprofessional whose information, not news, seems to be more reliable.
I am now changing my mind. I am not going to be a cab driver. I was almost taken in by a temporary or occasional truth. I am so gullible. Thank God there is the social media to counter check to find out the truth before I make a grave mistake with my career change.
Does MSM realise the irony when they describe the Myanmar mmedia as the govenernment media or the previously published Egyptian Al-Ahram as semi-official?
ReplyDeleteWhere got irony? Ours is so independent and objective, nothing to do with the govt.
ReplyDeleteRB, You hit below the belt. Ha Ha
ReplyDeleteAre property price increases reported also fake?
ReplyDeleteBut hor, I have learned that lots of things recommended or promoted by experts in their field also cannot be taken at face value.
Money can do wonderful things if people are paid well enough to tell lies that are purported to be truths and truths denounced as lies. Money talk is very apt in this time and age. Morality is irrelevant.
haha hahahahahahha
ReplyDeleteIt's totally unbelievable!!!
I would have ask my son to
be taxi driver than his
present IT job which requires
long hours without overtime pay
and miserable salary!!!!
You and I certainly have to think
twice or thrice when reading newspapers!!!!
One fine day, heavy vehicle driver may indeed earn more than normal graduates in Sg.
ReplyDeleteActually it is not impossible if you earn $20 per hour for 14 hour for 7 days a week without fines, complaints, accidents, illness. The huge costs is the taxi rental so inorder to earn more, you have to put in more hours. THis is a slavery system invented by the current regime.
ReplyDeleteFrom today onward I will stop buying MSM newspaper and reading MSM news. I will only reading RB's blog because he is telling all the truth.
ReplyDeleteHaha RB, like your sentence "they are very respectable media".
ReplyDeleteIn earlier years taxis could be owned by individual owners as long as they got a license. However , I think it was around 1980s the Pappy government formed a cartel under government control in so called privatised companies to monopolise taxis and exploit the drivers and the public. If the government had not interfered in the running of taxi transport business, taxi fares will not be so unreasonably high. The directors and CEOs of these government control companies are paid well to over a million dollars or there about annually. What do they do except idling in the cool comfort of the air-conditioned office.

Goh Chee Wee waa paid millions when he was CEO of the Comfort Group. His remuneration was revealed that led to controversy and he left that Post.
ReplyDeleteHe was a Labour Cabinet Parliamentarian if i remember correctly.

Who do you think have to foot the bill for the millions the top management are being paid? Every dollar comes from the taxi drivers. And there is the COE, like high rentals, to pay for.
ReplyDeleteOne can't be a good cab driver if one only think of high income.A good cabby ,like a civil servant,should put passengers' safety and interest first.I want to be a cabby but must top up my medisave first before they allow me,i suppose.Maybe I have to go TR to wake up those people.
ReplyDeleteIn the Soviet Union, Pravda was the inerrant word of truth, as far as news was concerned.
ReplyDeleteYou must believe everything you read in the MSM and the internet. If that is not the law, it should be.
Because of GENERATIONS of in-breeding, the average local Singapore brain is too under developed to contemplate anything more complex than a bowl of noodles, a roti prata or a banana leaf of nasi lemak.
Hence a system of intellectually advanced elites have been implemented to do the HEAVY THINKING on complex issues which are beyond the intellectual abilities of the average Singaporean asshole.
These elites are highly paid, and as a result revered by their lesser minions, who perform the duty of sucking the elites dicks, so that the elites feel constantly validated.
These cocksuckers are also known as The Mainstream Media.
You talk what? You know natcon ask uncle and auntie for national discourse to plot future of country that elite don't know where to go.
ReplyDeleteAhhh...don't give those uncle/aunties too much credence, nor do they deserve to be baptised in font of compassion.
ReplyDeleteThey had their ENTIRE LIVES to get their fucking act together, and benefit from the tremendous growth and opportunity in the motherfucking cuntree. Of course, some have done exceptionally well indeed -- especially those running their enterprises in the PRIVATE SECTOR.
They shouldn't wait politely to be asked into the conversation. They have every opportunity to scream their ageing lungs out and hand out their opinion to the fuck heads running the cuntree and drawing huge monthly "salaries" (theft) for doing FUCK ALL.
Thanks for an insightful post. These comments are really helpful.. I found a lot of useful tips from this post..
