。。。。。。。。。。。。 On Sunday morning 31st March 2013 at 1am, I pick up a street fare at North Bridge Road at the Coleman Street Junction. He ask me to send him to Chwee Chian View. As I am not familiar with that road, I ask him to give me his postal code so that I can use my GPS to take me there.
He remarked that he is no 15yo boy and that he is not drunk so he can direct me there. So I ask him which road he likes to take now and he ask me to go 2 traffic lights and then turn left, when would be Merchant Road, so I take it that he wanted to go by CTE-AYE.
Then I ask from AYE which exit he wanted to get out to and he answered that I already said go by AYE then you should know the way. I told him that I still don’t know the way and since he doesn’t want to give me his postal code, I would still be expecting him to give me instruction on where is Chwee Chian View.
As he sounds abit irritated now, So I made the following off the cuff statement:
“Actually sir, all I need is your postal code and it can guide me to your place and you can sit back and relax but if you choose to guide me personally, I got no problem but just feel sorry to trouble you only. Whichever you choose, I respect your decision. Aferall, my main objective is to make sure I send you home safely.
Then I realized that he took it negatively and started to grumble.
Then he start to repeat that he is no 15yo boy and gave the following comments:
Are you worried I get drunk and vomit in your car? You only a fucking taxi driver. I pay you the money ok, u must listen to me.
As a SOKA Buddhist, I realized that he is in what we Buddhist term as “in the world of ANGER” so I figure that it’s no point talking to him so I just keen quiet. Afterall I always believed that it’s our karmic relationship with each other for me to pick him up and him to take my cab, even though that relationship only last a few more minutes so I just bear with it.
Instead of cooling down, thinking that I am so gullible, he stepped up his tempo. What started as a grumble suddenly become abusive scolding:
You fucking Chi Na, u want to fuck around with me is i? If you think u are real smart, go and be PM la, knnbccb. You are only a fucking taxi driver. I own the place I staying u know, not like u useless fucker, living in HDB flat. Bloody Chi Na, really useless! u heard me or not? Fuck your mother chee bye. Hey u heard that? I am fucking your mother, u fucking bastard.
Again I kept my cool, all the while chanting in my heart. I was thinking that he will stop if I dun him up or stroke his fire but I was dam wrong. Instead, he increased not only his tempo, but also his volume, he is practically shouting on top or his voice, even screaming, all those things about my mother till his throat really sore. Then he mention something :
If you got guts, later at my place u come out to meet me la.
That really makes me worry but I still maintain my cool. But he still carry on with his “fucking” and suddenly he is now using his right hand to punch my left shoulder, not once but a few times which is the last straw.
The next exit is South Bouna Vista down to Pasir Panjang, a road famous for being long and unwinding and accident prone. With his consistently getting physical and from earlier experience should gain tempo and once in the narrow dangerous road, I figured that even if his being physical doesn’t escalate, my mental fear might affect my driving and endanger both our life. Plus I dunno what's going to happen when I reach his place so I stopped the car at the side of the AYE just after Normanton exit.
I told him that I cannot carry on driving as he is now resorting to physical. He insisted that I send him back which I refused. I am already outside the cab with the door open and he ran over my side saying that he is going to whack me and before I can do anything, grab my hair(head) and slam it at the cab causing the glasses to drop. Then I felt blows after blows ramming at me and I am a 56yo small size uncle who is definitely no match for this 190cm, 100kg plus Indian guy in his 40s.
I tried avoiding his blows and ran to the back of the taxi and he just follow suit and pinned my down the road and continue blashing me.
I tried blocking off his blows till I got really tired and cannot even breath and virtually give up. This lasted for a good one minute or more and as there was very few cars passing by and even those who did dun bother to stop, he just had his way till suddenly, I saw three cars stop by and a few horns, then he stop and walk off toward the Bouna Vista exit.
After he walk off, those who stopped by drove off too and suddenly I realized that my glasses is gone and was looking very hard for it in the dark and without glasses. I wanted to drive to follow him but I realized that my key is not around anymore. I spend a good 15 mins or so looking for both my glasses and my key in a semi blurred condition until a black car pulled over and a gentleman in his 30s asked if I am ok.
This guy said he saw the whole incident and had followed him when he walk off towards South Bouna Vista exit and had already reported to police who should be on the way soon. He is so nice to make a big detour back to see if I am ok. He even help me to find my glasses.
He left once he knows that I am in the good hands of the police.
Later after I reached home, I found out that Chwee Chian View is only a small road off Chwee Chian Rd which should only have a few landed house, so tracking a 190cm Indian man who stay there should not be a big issue but I wonder why the police dun act on the info immediately.
My glasses was chipped on one lens and the whole shirt was soiled and bloody. Bruises was found all over my body especially my face and my legs which could be worst off if not for the jeans and one of my lower front teeth was loose.
When washing my hair, I realized that there is a lot of “baluku” all over my head and this morning, the doctor found some area badly bruises too.
This morning, both sides of the shoulders are aching real bad. I then recalled that he uses his full body weight of 100+kg to pin me down and the other hand to bash me. My back was aching too and both my arms start showing marking as I uses them to block my face。。。。。。。。
has anyone realised that there are some problems in this statement?
(at North Bridge Road at the Coleman
Street Junction. So I ask him
which road he likes to take now and he ask me to go 2 traffic

First traffic Adelphi ....
Second traffic light ...... Hill Street
Pls dun stir .... leave it that way .
we dun need another stirrer .
leave this thread alone .
The only reason I decided to post today is because of Bing James and what happened to him. I think some the advise and logic here isn't helpful at all, and some of it plain dumb.
Before I go into that let me re-read some of the fantastic things said here and offer my take. Brb.

Singapore Indian somemore , fuck type Indians .
Sia Suay Singapore indians ......
Pls explain the need to make a remark like this? This thing is allowed but others edited?
What stir? Got no logic? Cannot state the facts? People post you eidt, you post shit can?
member , RSM and myself decide things .
Afternoon already trying to cool things down , so pls .
we do things we no need explain to anyone .
We let authority decide what's right what's wrong .
We have Internal Security .
So cool things down .
What is there to cool down, when you act like a child? I ask you 1 question, this your personal forum or open to everyone?
This question i let others decide .
RSM and myself run the forum .
We will cool things down if there's a need .
we have said many times .....
if one doesn't feel good about such forum , let it rot .
if not for the wonderful cooling effect RSM had done in this forum , depending on me alone , this forum explode liao .
U guys dunno at all , my thread was edited by RSM as well ...... u think he only edit others ?
Just that technically , RSM has got some restrictions as well .
Hi all, I have been a visiting this forum alots but nvr post much. All I can say is a coin has two side. U say head but others say tail. Everyone has different view but it still a coin. No right no wrong. what is the objective is the main concern. My view, make this a good place for new td to learn and feel comfy. Trash their anger after a bad day. If ppl see as poolman forum or lv forum. Than nothing wrong also.I not lv member but can not denied to say in a Walkie gp got it own benefit. as said, all are adult,no need to play game or politics. See a good topic, read it. Hand itchy, type a few comment, Don like it, just skip it. Our shift are long and tiring, so everyone chill out.
Thnks DC , welcome back .
It's has been a good 2-3 years ago since i met u .
Sekali like many drivers made a comeback .
No la public forum must allow for both sides, not just the mods and their kakis can do whatever or post whatever, but everybody else, edit or close thread.
Respect is a 2 way street and we are adults. When someone post rubbish or make childish remarks, then definitely must allow a different or correct version.
Little bit little bit it's accused of stirring? And then become super sensitive.
Fark la abt Indian pax, that one everyone know. Malay pax also got like that, Chn also got like that. I also got cheated by Singapore Indian pax, do I paint all Indians like that.
Even I avoid Indian pax, but can I say with hand on heart I will never pick them again? Drive taxi can choose each and every pax ah?
I think if each and every post I make is gonna be edited deleted or closed, then is there really a pont in me posting in this forum? If no one respects me, should I bother?
If others post than disagree with certain other's style or advise and they also deleted or edited, then what's the point?

Poolman, you get it all wrong........(now the heading sound better)
Yesterday incident is targeted at bj, because he started the fire.........
Nothing to do with this topic.........
Now you smlj also edit????........
Finally see bro JoeRaj, you also edit????........
Aiyo...........
Ya lor, first time back, my first post which is this:
Originally posted by JoeRaj:This thread is a classic example why I have stayed away. It seems this forum has changed. Every thing also edit, everything also close thread, but if certain ppl do or say some things can one.
This goes to both Poolman and Ang, as moderators. Is this LV forum, a Poolman forum or is it an sgforum?
We are all adults here, like what RBS said forum is to exchange idea and opinion not to encourage havoc. But it seems some ppl can encourage havoc and post certain things but others can't.
Pls la we are all adults here, not just young adults but some of us are already in our 40s and 50s, maybe even 60s. Adults can and should speak their mind, even if it upsets 1 or 2 ppl, so be it, provided the person giving is prepared to receive. As long it doesn't insult a race, religion or encourage hate and violence, it should be fair game.
As adults we can judge whether what 1 says got lieu or not. A forum should be left untouched as much as possible, not just in support of some people or groups who can say what they like, but when they get answered back, the thread is quickly edited or closed.
Remember when you left this forum because of Fireice's constant meddling? It seems that now the very things that you didn't like her doing, you and Ang are doing. Just because she doesn't come and intervene anymore, desn't mean you have a license to post inflammatory things, which she definitely would have intervened for in the past.
If she had her way, this thread would have been closed long time ago. In fact if somebody else posted a thread like this, I think you or Ang would have closed it, very quickly. Why the double standards? Think about it.
And I am accused of stirring? What stirring? Am I kid talking cock or what? I write got lieu or not?
And I am not even condemning BJ here, so what stirring? Or is it because I highlighted an issue which I think the Mods have done improperlY?
My first post back, also cannot give face or show some mutual respect, straightaway accused of stirring? Who did the stirring here? Who asked to carry baseball bat? Who condemned the police, judiciary blah blah?
This is not a post made because of bad feelings or intentions on my part, but a genuine belief at what I see is wrong. It's not a personal attack either.
Perhaps it is a condemnation of some people's actions and the way they go about their responsibility in the forum, not against them personally.
The persons may very well be better human beings than me. I cannot compare to them and their level of assistance, but doesn't mean everything I say is wrong and they always correct.
Pls allow me to say something, the heading is still WRONG!
The whole issue is a cabby was beaten up by a drunk and abusive pax!!
We are talking about the safety of out fellow TDs!!
Why has this became a personal attack thread?
Can anyone tell me this won't happen to other TDs if they are good wif Singapore routes or very well mannered?
THE KEY ISSUE ARE DRUNK AND ABUSIVE PAX!!!
PLS MOVE ALL THE PERSONAL ATTACK TO A SEPERATE THREAD!
