A Singapore Taxi Driver's Diary

Mingjie Cai said:

Probably the only taxi driver in this world with a PhD from Stanford and a proven track record of scientific accomplishments, I have been forced out of my research job at the height of my scientific career, and unable to find another one, for reasons I can only describe as something "uniquely Singapore". As a result, I am driving taxi to make a living and writing these real life stories just to make the dull job a little more interesting. I hope that these stories are interesting to you too.

There was another entry somewhere where he mentioned he got a paper recently accepted in a pretty decent journal despite having no lab. Seems authentic, plus I know for a fact many people were asked to leave IMCB a couple yrs ago.
