Teens rob & attack cabby
-
One felt like doing something naughty. The other was running low on money.
Both of them had drunk some liquor.
This dangerous cocktail led the duo to target an unsuspecting cabby working the graveyard shift.
While telemarketer Joshua Lye Chun Shern, 19, smashed a half-full cognac bottle on the cabby's head, his friend, full-time national serviceman Jason Tan Wei Ke, 19, made off with the cabby's mobile phone.
The attack left the 53-year-old cabby with wounds and lacerations on his head. He was given three days' medical leave.
On Feb 14, Lye was sentenced to reformative training. He is out on bail pending an appeal against the sentence.
Tan, who had been dealt with earlier, was given two years' probation. -
i think LTA and taxi company should conduct a "Self-Defense Martial Art" course instead of many of those customer service courses .

It is about time to consider having a protection shield around the taxi seat.
The lta should seriously consider this issue.
Or else there will be more young punks will try to rob the taxi driver.

During my time as a NSman , once u are holding a 11B , every crime u committed , Police will throw u back to Military Police , and later charge by Court Marshalls .Instead of Changi Prison , it's detention barrack .

Scholars get govt scholarship to study in top University overseas, we paid the taxes, from income to Gst to support them, and end up still need to listen to their bullshit.Knn

Cabbies need better protection
AFTER reading about the case of cabby Yuen Swee Hong ("Cabby's fatal stabbing reconstructed for hearing"; last Saturday), I urge all cab companies and the Land Transport Authority to step up the protection of taxi drivers.
Cabbies are offered the least protection and benefits in their occupation, on top of their unstable income. The least that can be done for them is to ensure their safety while they are making a living.
While crimes targeting cabbies are isolated, every life lost to petty theft and robbery is one life too many. In Sydney and Beijing, most cabbies are protected by a plastic shield around the driver's seat, and some have grills. Apart from satellite tracking, perhaps an SOS button or camera could be installed in new taxis.
With bulk purchasing, taxi companies have the ability to demand economies of scale to bear the cost of protecting their taxi hirers and relief drivers.
I have heard of cabbies picking up passengers who do not intend to pay, and these passengers either dash out of the cab on nearing their destinations or feign they have lost their wallets.
In Melbourne, Australia, it is legislated that fares are to be prepaid from 10pm to 5am. Based on an estimated fare and zonal guide, the fares are to be paid upfront prior to the passenger reaching his destination. A receipt is then issued to the passenger. Based on the actual metered fare, the difference is either topped up or reimbursed. Cabbies have the right to refuse passengers who are unable to foot the estimated prepaid fare.
This is something Singapore could consider implementing across taxi companies.
