A RELIEF cabby was fined $3,000 on Wednesday for slapping and kicking a petrol station service attendant who had turned down his request to clean his vehicle windscreen.

Ng Yew Kiong, 46, admitted to causing hurt to Chinese national Su Ya Kun, 20, at Caltex petrol kiosk at Clementi Avenue 2 on Oct 9 last year.

The court heard that the victim was checking the petrol pumps at about 5.10am when Ng drove in to refuel his taxi.

After refuelling the vehicle, Ng approached the victim and shouted: 'Chinaman, do you want to help me clean my window?'' The victim said he was checking the petrol pumps and could not do so.

After making payment, Ng walked up to the victim, who was then squatting to check the pumps, pulled him up and gave him a slap on the cheek.

The victim ran into the Star Mart and called the police. Ng came in and kicked him on the stomach.

Mr G Dinagaran said the victim's injuries were minor, and that his client had shown remorse by pleading guilty at the earliest opportunity.

Ng could have been jailed for up to two years and/or fined up to $5,000

Ang moh driver reversed and hit my car - SDX7703K

This car reversed and hit my car's front bumper - and he pretended like
nothing happened and refused to apologise. Even shouted at me "what do
you want?!"

The car was driven away by another lady who came out from the money

Premier Cab complaints

2 complaints about abusive Premier cab drivers: Is this worst cab service in S'pore?

Posted on 16 Aug 2010

STOMPers have sent in two complaints in a day about abusive Premier cab drivers. They want to know which company is responsible for Premier cabbies and hope that swift action will be taken, as in the case of Comfort-Delgro, which acts decisively on complaints.

STOMPer LindaOng was picked up by a cab driver who arrived late and kicked up a big fuss when she asked him to drop and her friends at different locations.

The STOMPer said that the driver of SHC 6170S arrived 20 minutes late despite the fact that they made a booking for the cab.

He refused her request to drop off one of her friends first and insisted on driving to Tampines, then resetting the meter to go to Bedok.

He scolded them for wasting his 'bloody' time when they tried to reason with him.

The STOMPer says that he also hurled profanities at them and chased them out of the cab.

In another complaint, Stomper Super Commuter said his holiday was ruined when he boarded a Premier cab at Changi Airport on his return to Singapore.

The scruffy-looking taxi driver was obviously in a foul mood, refusing to acknowledge even with a nod of the head the destination given to him,

Super Commuter told him the route to take. This was a shorter route that was more direct. When they were some kilometres from the destination, the moody driver said he was taking another route. Super Commuter immediately told him to take the original route.

But the taxi driver, Wong Woon Seng (taxi number SHB 8862X), insisted on his own route and started going into the right lane to turn. At this, Super Commuter told him to drive straight as per the original route.

This was when Wong became abusive, shouting at the top of his voice. When Super Commuter asked him to quieten down, he said that he was shouting because he was "kan cheong".

Now, who would like to be verbally abused by a stranger?
