<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->AS A foreigner living in Singapore for the past two and half years, I have the highest regard for the city as a great place to work and live.
But there has been a glaring blip which needs to be addressed. The Land Transport Authority's rule that cab passengers can be picked up and dropped off only at taxi stands within the Central Business District is aimed at facilitating traffic flow in the CBD and preventing accidents, but there needs to be some flexibility.
On Aug 17, I boarded a Premier taxi at Changi Airport Terminal 1 to get back to my office. I had one suitcase and a carry-on luggage as well as a laptop, and my right arm was bandaged because of an injury sustained when I was away.
I asked to be dropped off at Shaw Tower in Beach Road but the taxi driver refused, citing LTA's taxi stand rule, and insisted on dropping me off at a stand 50m away. I tried to explain it would be difficult for me to lug my bags over such a distance with my injured arm, but he ignored my entreaties.
The situation worsened when we got into an argument. When I refused to pay the fare, he ordered me out of his taxi and drove off with my luggage and laptop in his boot.
His company asked me to take another taxi to its office to retrieve my belongings and pay the driver.
The manager who dealt with my case ignored my explanation about my bandaged arm.

The passenger is completely in the wrong. You live in Singapore for so long, and so you should be quite up to date with the recent developments, including the LTA rules prohibiting taxi drivers from:

1 entering the bus lane
2 picking anyone anywhere in the city area other than the designated taxi stands
3 dropping anyone anywhere in the city area other than the designated taxi stands

Whatever opinion you or anybody may have these are the new guidelines they all have to follow, or face stiff fines and other possible penalties like demerit points. They have no choice.

And you as a cunt who in not wanting to pay the fare out of your ignorance and arrogance are triply wrong.

Leung Ka Man...Hongkie for sure! Of all people! She should know what is a "Kum Koey" in Hong Kong! There, they are even stricter. No stopping for all vehicles except for Government and security agencies in emergencies.

I like to know which taxi company took that line of response to her complaint. Boy! things had certainly changed for the better. In the past, she could complain that a taxi driver was not willing to help her bring up her luggage to the lift landing! and the driver would have been taken to task for not giving "value added service", another one of those PAP slogans of yesteryear's, which they themselves never upheld!

 

[stardies]

complain complain complain...

 

[red amoeba]

sure she is hongkie or not? If hongkie, arm injured would have claimed MC and stayed at home and not lug so many crap to go office right?

Singkees also know, how come hongkie dun noe?

 

[cooleo]

Break the law so that u can have CONVENIENCE? :oIo:

 

[makapaaa]

Another case of FTrash demanding privileges?

 

[Watchman]

Fark foreigners and the government stupid pea brain system !

 

[limpeh2]

Hahaha.. hongkee cheebye most likely thought that she could bully sporn taxi driver.
"entreaties"? hahahahaha
Maybe the "entreaties" would have worked if they were perks like if she didn't have a fucken coral-reef face & included a free but very enthusiastic BBBJ before drop off.

The PCB should've confirmed if the taxi driver can drop off & willing to break the law first b4 boarding the taxi mah. Chey, what a stupid conceited PCB!

When FTs in Singapore, do as the FTs do !

FTs own the government here.

 

[Ramseth]

Her demands are unreasonable as well as illegal. She lugged her luggages over two airports, what's with another 50m? Anyway, if she's looking for flexibility and door-to-door accessibility, just offer to pay for it. Ask the cabbie to enter the Shaw Tower carpark and offer to pay the per-entry charge, should be a few dollars max.

they r given permission from ur garhment for them to behave tis way

 

[Jabba]

orbi kuat...ah mah jiak cheeroot....

 

[bryanlim1972]

they r given permission from ur garhment for them to behave tis way

i didn't vote for this government.
the government does not drive taxi
the government does not serve food at the restaurants
the government does not walk the streets everyday
the government only sits in their 23 deg air con office talking about how to fix the opposition all day.

if these foreigners ever cross my path and act like king, i will give them a nice wad of cum to clean off their face.
