Well not really. Yesterday I flagged a cab to go TTSH. To my
surprise when she (a makcik) pulled up, she had her primary school
son (in uniform) in the front seat!
I experienced this once before in the 90s, when another female
Malay driver had her husband in the front seat as a kind of
navigator ( real life one ok, not technology one, those GPS means
street directory!). I also boarded that cab.
I know she was fetching her son, and it was no issue for me.
Right or wrong, I don't care, as long as you send me where I wanna
go (if you don't also never mind, find another cab).
But what surprised me more was that she picked me up along Sin
Ming Road just meters from LTA! Supposing I LTA officer how? Why
take such risks?
I never mention anything to her, but I hope she thinks about
this and act accordingly. I hope our TDs in the forum, also
consider this, if they ever think of doing it - just not worth it -
nowadays Singaporeans like to Stomp for $50.
