Preparing is of course good, but preventive is lagi good, dun u
think so?
A ship can explode even with the best preparation of safety.
As saying goes, prevention is better than cure. If one drunker
poke one knife into your belly, that is it, you go home in a body
bag, so you got cam, camera, baton or screwdriver, emergency button
and all kind of equipment you can name, but can it bring back your
life? and worst, if not die but handicapped, cannot fark, cannot
move..how?
Therefore, this call for preventive measure, and that measure
must start with taxi driver, of course the public and police can
paste stickers or go into media and proclaim the rules and penalty
of robbing, fighting and killing, that only can deter the culprits
who are sound and smart.
But in a drunk or drugged mind, you think they care about your
family, rules and penalties?
We TD are the frontier of it trade, not the taxis companies
staff, operator or boss, not the LTA officer, not the dro or
whatsoever, night in and night out we face the pax right on, even
frontdesk reception at hotel still got people and a desk infront to
protect them, what we got, is a rear mirror only, at any one time,
we are at the mercy of some crazy pax or a group of them while we
are alone by ourselves.
Therefore it is essential to pick up ok pax, over the years, we
should have such experience to recognize a bad one from a lousy
one. We should also know when to run out of the cab or when to stay
put.
It is good of course to send the culprit to jail and fine him,
but the issue is why waste our time, why we get the physical pain
or even internal injuries?? Isn't it typically sway to meet up with
such pax, therefore, preventive is a must, now you understand why
nobody like to go seranggoon to pick up hindi pub ah neh or BQ
bollywood ah neh??
