Police called in after passenger gives cabby $1 tip -- then tells him to 'step out and show respect'

http://www.stomp.com.sg/singapore-s...gives-cabby-1-tip-then-tells-him-step-out-and

Stomper Cabby was left with no choice but to call the police after a dispute with a passenger yesterday (June 28).

He had picked up the man at the airport and dropped him off at the LKY School of Public Policy in Bukit Timah.

According to the Stomper, the total fare amounted to $21 and the passenger gave him $100.

When the cabby wanted to give the passenger his change of $79, the latter only took $78 and left the remaining $1 as a tip.

However, things took a strange turn after that,

Said the Stomper in a phone interview:

"I don't know what happened but the passenger suddenly asked me to step out and show some respect.

"He said that he is a professor and has been in Singapore for eight years, and that this was a worldwide practice.

"I said I would return him his $1, and he said he would take it back but still insisted that I step out.

"He refused to exit my taxi and even called my company to complain."

The Stomper said he was 'getting a headache' at this point, as he wanted to continue driving but was being delayed.

Hence, he called the Police and they arrived 20 minutes later.

A video contributed by the Stomper shows the passenger repeatedly asking him to 'step out'.

What help? The Ah Tiong wasn't asking for help. He was demanding the cab driver to get out to kowtow to him. This Ah Tiong thinks so highly of himself.

We should stone him.
