But At What Cost?
Chua, who used to work in the landscaping industry, switched careers in September 2022.
Before his career switch from the landscaping industry last September, he used to take home around SGD5,000 a month.
In addition to his long working hours, the driver shared that he takes two short breaks from work each day to eat.
According to Chua, working hard means clocking in 12 hours daily and completing 30 trips daily.
Although it may seem lucrative, driver fatigue is a serious concern that can lead to road accidents and fatalities.
Grab recommends drivers take an uninterrupted seven-hour break after working for more than 11 hours to prevent driver fatigue.
Despite the long hours, Chua remains positive and encourages others to work hard.
In a caption for his TikTok video, he wrote, “You will never go hungry if you work hard in Singapore. Let’s all work hard together!”
