I'm taking driving classes now at Ubi and I can share it's horrible. A combination of poor customer service, holier-than-you complex instructor uncles, and outdated IT kill all the joy in learning.

Government shouldn't have killed the private driving instructor program. We need more competition in this sector!

The policeman ask if we feel comfortable having someone without a valid license on the road

Bro have you seen SG road Vigilante? I don't even feel safe with people with valid licenses on the road 😂

@mojo_jojo7084

Aiyo simple answer la. All these delivery companies wants to cut cost. Unlicensed people will accept the lower than market price and won't ask questions nor give the delivery company much trouble because they know what they are doing is illegal. Consumers also don't want to pay for higher delivery fees so the delivery companies kind of have no choice or they will go bankrupt. All willing accomplices.

Edit: There will be no manpower shortage. There is a pay expectation mismatch.

@ECOSAM-SG

The rise of unlicensed delivery drivers is definitely a cause for concern, but it also highlights the growing demand for home delivery services in Singapore. 🇸🇬 While addressing road safety is essential, this also reminds us of the importance of supporting local small businesses that prioritize proper practices and community safety. Whether it’s a family-run store offering delivery or a startup focused on ethical logistics, backing responsible businesses helps create a safer, more resilient Singapore. Who else believes in supporting local while building a safer future for everyone? 🚛🙌

@pohkhui

From now onwards, will not  complain anymore about slow delivery.
Should not stress out delivery guys and logistics guys. 
And safety does matter.
And use self pickup

@wumingkkk

The lockers always not enough space. It is irritating. It gets filled up every 3 days.

@abdullahsyed1048

This is quite a complex problem, big companies like J&T and Ninjavan are losing millions a month trying to outcompete one another to monopolise, they are just burning investor money to gain market share, nothing wrong as it is a free market. However, the unfortunate side effect is the sub contractors who are squeezed by the big guys (who are trying to cut losses) and the only way for the smaller guys to survive is to hire these illegal workers as they do the same job for cheaper. One way to stop this is to raise delivery prices across all platforms. But how many of us are ready to pay more? Another way is to allow work permits for the logistics industry. But what’s to stop yet another unicorn to come and spoil the market all over again?

@alvin191182

People are  complaining  on Foreign Talent quota like  S Pass E Pass , but MOM choose to  tackle on Foreign Work Permit  reduction ...  ... In Short, MOM  is trying to stuff   the low paying jobs into singaporeans  while reserving high paying managerial roles for foreigners.   They are  not listening to   the respnose on the ground .

@bluemoon6811

We engaged a lalamover last year to move a designer tempered glass table. He did not fasten the 100kg table which tipped over at a road hump. It could have killed the driver behind if there was one.  We filed a report to take him to court but he failed to turn up and there was no further investigation.  Why is there no regulation for these movers? He used a Chinese name, Ang Tiam Hock on his LLM account but was a foreign worker from India.  He  said Ang was his boss and sent him and we thought this was a normal practice on LLM. Not only was this dangerous for other road users, it is definitely unsafe to allow unverified people to take stuff from our home who knows what might happen.  I'm surprised this can happen in first world Singapore

@YouTuber-i2z

The government should review the companies that took up huge margins and underpaid the delivery drivers. We have no social safety net, no minimum wage. The only way to ensure Singaporeans gets to pickup from setback is sadly these kind of jobs.

@howardtjh5082

The problem is.. big delivery companies getting contracts with logistics company for a lower cost for each parcel/delivery items, which affects other courier service companies and drivers. Big companies hire illegal workers so to enable themselves to earn and dominate, and forcing delivery drivers to complete an unrealistic amount of drops in a short given timing. Other delivery drivers due to the competitive rates, are also force to work longer hours or rush and drive dangerously just to be on time.
Because of the demand, you will also see all the vans having their vehicle spaces fill all the way up, cannot even see the rear window. It is a tough job and continue to be dangerous if no authorities stepping up to take action to solve these issues.

@tohcw836

When delivery fees are cheaper than taking buses or mrt, who are getting squeezed?
E commerce biz don't rent retail space, don't hire staffs, don't pay local taxes, logistics,  deliver workers get squeezed, what a brilliant business idea.

@farrahkong1998

It's easy to tell. When you want to cross the road, the driver won't look at you and go straight away.

@arcencielc2065

I heard from my Malaysian friend that his brother in Msia paid for a driving license which enables him to drive all types of vehicles without taking any written or practical test. Making all foreigners to take written and practical tests when they want to convert their licenses in Singapore is a sensible move.

@AlfaPro1337

Pick-up lockers not popular? My area, 5 lockers are always full.

@stargazeronesixseven

Yes , both thankful & pitiful for all these over worked but under paid delivery drivers that handled our online purchases after knowing more about the challenges they're facing day in & day out to get their job done! Thank You So Much CNA & Diana Ser for another beneficial public education to  illuminate us of the dangers around us & to make us to select better choices in our lives to make our life safer , healthier , easier to manage , happier & more sustainable!  :penguin-blue-waving-tear:

@SimplyAwesomeness

Only 150 parcels? As a parcel walker, my peak is at about 350 parcels, daily averaging 150-250. Walk no drive... 50 cents to $1 per parcel, and I'm a local. The drivers mostly throw everything to the walkers.

@kennySg101

You should not go after the drivers alone.  You should go after the companies.  Manpower shortage is not the excuese.  Freelancers take the blame but it is easy for companies to verify whether he/she has a valid license

@dsjc_

Let’s get this straight, logistics is clearly not a desirable job to locals due to its low pay & lack of career advancements. Maybe it’s time to increase the salary potentials, similarly to what our public transport sector is trying to do to encourage more locals to become bus captains. But whether or not consumers will agree to pay more for shipping is another question.
