S'pore's most highly educated taxi-driver

By Amresh Gunasingham, The Straits Times

Dr Cai Ming Jie became an SMRT cabby last November after spending 16 years as a researcher at the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB) of the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*Star).

His career switch has become a talking point online after he started a blog earlier this year. Alongside his experiences as a cabby, he takes issue with the circumstances of his departure from IMCB last May.

The China-born Dr Cai, who became a Singapore citizen, obtained a PhD in molecular biology from Stanford University in 1990.

More ppl will understand the life of a TD. Many web sites carries the link to his blog.

Blog updated.....

Somewhere near Lor20, I was going nose-to-nose with a blue Comfort taxi. It was one of those new, flashy, automatic Sonatas to which I had on several occasions lost my customers, due to their fast speed, swift maneuverability, and the daring drivers who never hesitate to put their own shiny butts at risk to offer a road test for the quality of the brake work of my company’s workshop by cutting in abruptly right in front of me. Because of these unpleasant experiences, I am not exactly overly fond of them. When I see one of these on the road, I don’t usually waste my second glance on it.
