LETTER TO SCMP:
Why is the government wasting time to crack down on Uber, "everyone's private driver"? Answer: because it is under the thumb of the taxi industry. Result: instead of the greatest good for the greatest number, the government panders to the greedy few.

We are literally surrounded by countries that allow ride-hailing services like Uber. Yet somehow, alone in Asia, we cannot manage to do so. All we do is "crack down", bleating about the "rule of law", as if the law can't be changed to encourage innovation.
Shame on the government. Shame on the legislators. Shame on the bureaucrats. They make "Asia's World City" a sick joke, a laughing stock.
Pf, etc…
