Seems like even taking taxis now got choosiness......and those who can pay, will...leading to again, Elitism SINGAPORE: Taxi drivers and passengers say they are in a difficult spot because of uncertainty caused by staggered announcements on taxi fare revisions. This comes after SMRT Taxis said on Monday it was following competitor ComfortDelGro's revised rates. ComfortDelGro's rates took effect on Monday, while rates for SMRT Taxis will start on December 20. Other taxi operators say they are reviewing the situation. When it comes to taxi fare hikes, it's clearly not a case of one-for-all, and all-for-one. Different charges by taxi companies mean some customers are cherry-picking their rides. Rajamanickam, Driver of SMRT Taxis, said: "I was queuing up one early morning around 6.15. There were two taxis in front which raised the price yesterday and my taxi was the third one. The passengers refused to take the first taxi. They come to my taxi and I told them, "Can you please take the front one, because I cannot cut the queue?" They said, "I'll wait for you!" They waited for me (in the queue) and ... took my taxi. What does that show? They are against the price increase." That may be true for some, but not for all. One lady passenger said: "Sometimes when people is in a rush right, then they got no choice but they got to pay the additional (fare). Considering now like the economy is not doing so well, so I think it's quite unnecessary." Another lady passenger said: "If we really need a taxi, we don't mind about the fare." One grouse raised was how the fare revisions have been announced. Rajamanickam added that it would be better if all taxi companies announce the fare revision together. Then it would be fair for all, including the passengers. Taxi drivers said it is still early to say what impact the changes will have on their earnings. - CNA/de

Recently there are many mixed development; commercial units downstairs and residential upstairs. Some call this SOHO concept. Now just one question, for those residential units, do they pay commercial utility fees (electricity & water) or normal residential utility fees?

The graphics is great. The first 15-20 mins seem promising. After that, I feel things get quite messy because the script is 90% new with mish-mash rojak from various Tintin comics. I think the producers were unsure whether there would be a sequel so they just throw many things into one movie. A minor and benign character becomes the main villain, Bianca Castifore and Alan are featured but strangely no Prof Calculus. Ii think they should have stayed more faithful to any one of the original comics.

Hi all, If given a choice would you send your child to a neighbourhood co-ed school or a boys school such as St. Garbriel's primary? Due to where I live now, all available schools are >1Km and <2Km. So my chances of enrolling the child to a choice school is not rosy . Any comments and advice from the parents and old boys of the school? Thank you very much. Regards,
