Everyone makes mistakes, just a matter of how big/small they are.
No need to highlight a certain or any particular race. Please dun do that. It is rude and somepeople will get offended. Retract your post please.

i feel that his post isnt racist. if you bothered to look behind on the 46th page and work out the context in which he used the phrase, you'll get what i mean. -

Rash bus driver endangered passengers
LAST Friday at about noon, I boarded SMRT bus service 985 (TIB 917 M) at the bus stop near Goh & Goh Building In Upper Bukit Timah Road.
I had intended to take the bus to the stop near Woodsville Flyover, but ended up with more than I bargained for.
Midway through the journey via the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) towards Changi, the driver wrongly entered the slip road to Stevens Road. Realising his mistake, he slowed down and looked around. An elderly man subsequently approached him and offered directions.
However, the driver surprised the 10-or-so passengers by entering the nearby Esso petrol station. He proceeded to exit by the other side, only to shock everyone by colliding with an oncoming car.
After 20 minutes of verbal exchange with the driver of the car, and not a word to us passengers, the driver decided to continue with the journey. Not without running over a kerb though.
Once we were back on the PIE towards Changi, seemingly with the worst behind us, the driver astounded us further by almost picking the wrong exit, again. Fortunately, the helpful man was there to point out his error, but he soon found himself banging into a handrail as a result of the driver's sudden braking.
To my relief, I eventually reached my intended bus stop, as well as my meeting place, albeit 40 minutes late.
I am particularly upset because this driver neglected the welfare of his passengers. Granted, we all are human and make mistakes, but instead of retrieving the situation in a safe manner, he endangered our lives.
What is more saddening is that he did not bother to say anything to us - perhaps a sorry, or anything to make us feel better as we were all shaken.
Plus, it did not seem he knew much English, or traffic directions for that matter. He needed help from the good samaritan, who did not get a word of thanks.
I hope there are no other bus drivers who are road hazards like him. More important, I hope SMRT adopts strict practices regarding training for its drivers and safety on the roads.
I have never had anything so negative to say about public transport, but this instance went too far.

Ok. I just make a summary out of the report. Translated for our non-Chinese forumites
Shin Min Daily News Page 4China BC driving service 985 drives wrong route as he didn't know the route; passengers were shocked
On January 23rd, a China Bus Captain drove service 985. As the driver didn't really know the route very well. He went round many times at an Esso petrol station around Upp Bt Timah/Jln Jurong Kechil. The passengers were shocked.
Later on, when the BC went towards to PIE, the BC exited at Thomson Road instead of Upp Serangoon Road. Luckily, a teenager whose destination was St Andrew's Junior School told the driver the correct route and the BC turned back. (A photo of the teenager was on the report with the bus stop he got on the bus.) -
