Taxi Driver Parked Car Without Consideration For Others, Blocked Path Of Makcik In Wheelchair
Local celebrity author Zai Miztiq was so miffed by an inconsiderate taxi driver that she had to make a video to give attention to the situation.
The driver was already parking illegally on double yellow lines and made it worse by blocking a wheelchair-access ramp. The drivers inconsiderate action made it difficult for Zai’s wheelchair-bound mother to get into a waiting car.
A reminder to all drivers, the road does not belong to you. If you have to park illegally, park illegally in an inconsiderate manner.

Commentary: Comfort Taxi Driver Went Above And Beyond, A Crybaby Moment For Me
Today I was shown kindness by a Comfort taxi driver – Mr Yeo Choon Hwa.
I had to report for my flight at 730am.
I booked a taxi and when I got into the cab, I told the Uncle (yes we call any elderly male stranger Uncle in Singapore) to ‘please rush for me?’Which is highly unfair because now I am partly making it his responsibility to get me to work in time… but I was that desperate.
Halfway through the journey – I started reaching out for my wallet so that I can quickly pay him and get out.
As the search got more frantic, I realised the worst. I forgot my wallet. I couldn’t believe it. I was now 12 minutes away from the airport. There was NO WAY out. Turning back will mean a day of havoc for me.
Resigning to my fate, I came clean with Uncle.
I told him I forgot my wallet and I wouldn’t be able to pay him at the end of this journey.
He looked up at me through the rear view and gave the most stunning reaction.He smiled. Kindly. And then asked me what I would like to do. What I would like to do!? This was his taxi, his rice bowl and he had every right to tell me to get out from his taxi or turn back – but yes – he asked me what I would like to do.
So I told him, that if he is ok – I’ll take down his details and do a bank transfer when I touch down.
And without skipping a beat, he agreed.I got to the airport just in time. Uncle even came out and helped me with my bags and just before I dashed off – he asked me if I had enough money for my travels and if I needed some.
Yeah. Crybaby moment for me. Still is.
Even after transferring the amount + bonus, I don’t think any amount can ever repay what he did.Apart from his compassion and kindness, he completely left it to his faith in humanity that I will not go back on my word.
And I can’t help but think, what a lot of faith that must be.Here’s to all our Taxi Uncles.

Cat Heroes Recognized By Cat Welfare Society And Pet Lovers Foundation
Mohd Eliyas, 42, a taxi driver has attended to about 30 cases of cats that were abandoned or injured, tirelessly rescuing and rehoming them whenever possible. Mr Eliyas was one of six “cat heroes” whom the Cat Welfare Society (CWS) and Pet Lovers Foundation have identified under a new initiative to recognise the work of volunteers who have risen to the call of rescue duty. Other recipients include the anonymous pair who reported the Tampines cat abuser to the police; Ms Janet Sum, who helped to rush a cat caught in a glue trap to the veterinarian; and Ms Law Mui Eng, who saved more than 20 cats from a cat hoarder.
Yesterday, four of the six were each given a certificate and a S$100 gift pack containing cat food and a cat scratcher, among other items. CWS and Pet Lovers Foundation will continue this initiative every six months to commend individuals who have helped out in rescue cases. Speaking to TODAY, Mr Eliyas said he has carried out three separate cat rescue operations along the expressways this year. Among all the cases he has handled, the most unforgettable one involved a black and white kitten named Valentini, he said.
Mr Eliyas spotted the kitten in the middle of the road on the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway on the eve of Valentine’s Day. However, because he had a passenger on board, he could not check on the kitten, which had scurried back into the bushes along the road divider. At around midnight that day, he began his rescue operation, walking a couple of kilometres to reach the location where he saw the cat. When he found it eventually, he noticed that its lower body was paralysed, and it was dragging itself around by crawling. Mr Eliyas brought the cat home and sent it to the vet the following morning. But during the check-up, the cat’s bladder burst and it had to be put to sleep. That incident made him more determined to continue with his rescue work, Mr Eliyas said. In separate cases at East Coast Parkway and the Pan-Island Expressway in April and May, for instance, he spent several nights engaged in rescue operations.While he sometimes tries to raise funds or find a home for the rescued cats via social media, Mr Eliyas said he is not always successful.

SMRT Hero Mr Mohamad Nazaruddin Helped Couple Who Delivered A Baby In His Taxi
It was just an ordinary day for Mr Mohamad Nazaruddin, serving passengers just like he did the last two years. Little did he know that it would be life changing as he picked up his first passenger of the day.
These are the words of appreciation from Mdm Ma.elena del Rosario Ortiz: “This is such an unforgettable and remarkable experience. I feel shocked and also overjoyed that my baby girl was born in a taxi. My husband and I would like to thank Mr Mohammad for doing a good job to take care of our baby and reassure us that the baby is fine. It was very well done.”
Mdm Ma.elena’s newborn arrived in Mr Mohamad’s taxi yesterday afternoon while she and her husband were enroute to the hospital for a checkup. Upon noticing that Mdm Ma.elena was in pain, he took the initiative to drive the couple to the nearest hospital. Even before they arrived, the baby was delivered in the taxi! Mr Mohamad remained calm and advised Mr Hamid, Mdm Ma.elena’s husband, on what he had to do to ensure the baby was fine.
The 39 year old taxi partner shared, “I’m lost for words. I’m glad that I’m able to help them in terms of giving them advice on what to do with the baby and ensuring that the baby is safe. I feel great about being part of this amazing journey with the parents. I hope that the family will be happy and joyous and wish them all the best.”
Upon arrival at the hospital, Mr Mohamad immediately got help from the nurses, and waived the taxi fare for Mr and Mrs Hamid. We cannot be happier to be part of this meaningful journey, and extend our congratulations to Mr and Mrs Hamid on their newborn! On this joyous occasion, SMRT will waive Mr Mohamad’s taxi rental for a day
🙂 Kudos to Mr Mohamad, our SMRT taxi partner. #SMRTHeroes
