A taxi driver vent his anger on us

It was a Thursday, my lovely pi pi & mi were in a hurry to reach Far East Plaza. Therefore, we happened to take a cab. The trip was eventually decent, but when we were approaching just outside of Far East Plaza, a head boiled anger busted between mi and the taxi driver.

In the meantime, there was a long vehicle queue awaiting to enter Far East taxi stand. However, the conflicts broke out when mi urges the taxi driver to stop in front of the bus stop, which preferences for us to alight earlier without waiting.

Out of the sudden, the taxi driver appeared to be hostile and shouted : " Next time you don't take taxi, go take bus better ! " My pi pi & mi were shocked by his respond and reactions.

mi asked him politely : " What it is about ? "

The taxi driver shouted : " You Malaysian ah ? !!! "

I was like, what the hell ? , what's gonna to do with Malaysian ? I was immediately fed up with his kind of rude attitude and replied : " Do you want mi to speak with you in English ? "

Taxi driver said furiously : " You don't know Singapore got many laws ah !!! "

Instantly, we realised what he was trying to mean, it's regarding of taxi are unable to stop at bus stop. We were unintentionally aware of that, but however, he could initially inform us about the regulations in an appropriate manner, instead of shouting and venting anger on us.

Mi answered : " If you can't stop here, it is OK with us that you turn in. You can just say so mah. "

The taxi driver nearly lost his mind : " Than ? you got problem ah !!! ? "

I was like , Wah ? said : " What's the problem with you ? "

And he replied aggressively : " Why? You got a problem ah? !!! "

He was really getting on my nerves : " Than why are you telling mi to take bus ? What's wrong with you ? "

He kept quiet while the taxi turn in and stopped at the taxi alighting point.

I continued : " You got pressure, I also got pressure mah. "

He remained silent and waited for us to pay him his cab fare. I paid the fare with much dissatisfaction and was so annoy by his terrifying behaviour. As my pi pi & mi alighted the taxi, my pi had prompted mi to lodge a complain against him to his taxi company. However, mi claimed unlikely. Nonetheless, mi quickly cool my head off, as i was thinking that perhaps he might be facing the stress from recessions too.
