While waiting for my buddy, Jieming, to pick me up after class yesterday night, i witnessed taxi "unethical-city" (I don't know if there's such a word, but its the best word i can think of to describe what i just saw, as a disgrace to humanity and a disgrace to Singaporean taxi drivers.)

Okie, this is what happen.

Standing about 10m away from me, was this young girl who seemed to have a little disability. I can't exactly pin-point what is wrong with her, but just from looking at her, she looked as if she had some kind of down-syndrome or "slow reactive ability", and her limbs were a little deformed as she walks with a little difficulty.

I already started to notice her ever since she was there. She was trying to flag down a cab. And then the thing was, NO CAB! I mean NO CAB chose to stop and pick her up.

I was so angry.

One cab even stopped, looked at her, then drove off. What is this? This is so unethical, so unprofessional of our taxi drivers. If i have a camera, i would have snapped down the picture of the cab and post it on STOMP.

I have no sympathy for such taxi drivers, what crap about the needs to make ends meet and what other excuses they have. If one day, the same thing were to happen to them, they deserved it. (No offences to the kind taxi drivers who go out of their ways to help their passengers!)

In the end, i stepped onto the road in front of her, flagged down a cab, and directed the cab to the young girl. That, solves the problem, the cabbie cannot reject the passenger.
