Pickup
The taxi driver picked up two passengers in the wee hours of Dec. 21.
According to the Facebook post, the driver then dropped them off at How Sun Drive at 4:02am, but not before they puked in the back seat.
However, the passengers reportedly refused to compensate the driver for cleaning up their vomit.
In addition, they allegedly verbally abused him by calling him a beggar and offered to pay only S$10 for the ride.
However, the driver said he "swallowed his pride" and did not accept the S$10 especially since he was called a "beggar".
Loss of income
He added that the security personnel on night duty witnessed the mess when the driver asked for water in cleaning it up.
In light of the incident, the driver said this resulted in a loss of income for his family as he could not pick up more passengers for the night.
Being a taxi driver is one of two jobs that the driver works to support his family of seven with multiple pets, according to his daughter.
She added that her father works to support her studies abroad as well as to support her brother through medical school.
The driver emphasised in his Facebook post that people should not abuse taxi drivers.
"Driving taxi is a decent job too."
