Above: Two police officers explaining to Miss Zhu that the cabby was unhappy she was eating in his taxi.
By Pearly Tan
Hungry from having skipped lunch, the 47-year-old woman decided to have a longan while in a taxi. She was told off by the cabby, who spoke in English.
Miss Zhu, a Chinese national, didn't understand what he was scolding her for, reported Lianhe Wanbao.
So she called the police.
The incident happened on Sunday afternoon, after Miss Zhu boarded a taxi at Fu Lu Shou Complex at Bugis Street.
The New Paper understands that it was a silver Premier taxi that she took.
She was making her way back to her beauty parlour at Hougang Street 21 with a bag of fruits including some longans.
Miss Zhu told Lianhe Wanbao: "By the time I boarded the taxi, it was already about 2.45pm and I had not had my lunch.

"I was so hungry and I felt faint...I recalled that the sugar in longans could give me energy. So I hurriedly peeled one and put it in my mouth."
She said she was chatting on her mobile phone as she did that.
But the minute she got off the phone, the taxi driver scolded her, she claimed.
Miss Zhu said: "My English is poor and he (the cabby) couldn't speak Mandarin. I couldn't understand him...
"Then he turned around in the driver's seat and began pointing his finger at me ."
She said that she called the police as the cabby's actions frightened her.
Two officers soon arrived at the scene.
Police confirmed that they received a call at 2.55pm on Sunday for help in a dispute between a taxi driver and his passenger along Upper Serangoon Road.
Miss Zhu said that it was only after the police explained to her that she realised the cabby was unhappy about her eating in his taxi.

Still, she insisted: "I only put it (the longan) in my mouth. I didn't even eat it."
She said she has since made a complaint with the taxi company.
Premier Taxi did not respond to our calls or e-mails on the incident.
The New Paper also contacted five other taxi companies on their policies regarding passengers eating and drinking in taxis.
Of the two companies that replied, both said that taxi drivers are discouraged from allowing passengers to eat or drink in their cabs.
A spokesman for TransCab said that while food and drink isn't allowed in cabs, it's up to the cabby's discretion whether or not to allow his passengers to slurp or chomp away in his vehicle. An SMRT spokesman agreed.
He said: "At SMRT Taxis, we don't impose eating and drinking policies in our taxis.
"However, for reasons of hygiene and cleanliness, we strongly encourage all passengers not to eat or drink in our taxis."
TransCab also said that its cabbies do not have the right to ask passengers to alight.
And if a taxi that is returned to it has a strong odour or food remnants, the company would clean up the interior before re-issuing the vehicle to another driver.
As for food consumption on other forms of public transport, Rapid Transit Systems rules stipulate that eating and drinking are not allowed in MRT stations and trains.
The maximum penalty for doing so while in or on any part of the railway premises is $500.
Eating on buses is also not allowed.
SMRT said that its service leaders (SLs) will "advise passengers who are found eating or drinking not to do so".
Its spokesman said: "Passengers who witness others eating or drinking in the bus should inform our SLs.
"We have also put up 'no food and drinks' signs in our buses to remind all passengers to be considerate and to help keep our buses clean at all times."


Bet she was trying to get a taste of the cabby's longans and was told off by the cabby instead

Wahhaha, next time can say that only put cock in her cb, didn't even fuck it

 

[groinroot]

At least the cabby had the guts to tell her off unlike MRT security officers who turn the other way when they see passengers walking in with food packets or eating in the trains.

I have never understood this obsession with eating or drinking in trains in MRT. If I'm thirsty, or need to nibble at something why can't I just take a small bite or drink off the bottle. I'm sure there are people that get stuck in trains/station for a long period of time and just needed to take a quick sip once in a while. Over here, you have signs saying do not eat or drink in the train, yet there are stores and vending machine selling drinks and food within the station itself on the platform. As long as you don't make a nuisance out of yourself while eating/drinking most passengers won't bate an eye at you. It is much tolerated here if you don't make a mess. I see no problem with that.

That's because it's his cab and he will have to bear with the crumbs and/or the smell the whole day.
The mrt officers see and smell nothing from where they are seated.

I would agree with drinking plain water, but not eating or drinking anything else.

There was once I took the mrt and saw that an entire cabin was empty. Not a single person sitting or standing. Looked at the floor and there was a pool of brownish liquid. Could have been milo, milk tea or coffee, more likely bubble tea. It had spilled, formed a pool and was spreading throughout the cabin as the train moved.

After a few stops, a cleaner finally boarded the train, mopped up the mess and then alighted a few stops later. She probably had to take the train back to where she was stationed.

This is the reason.
It's not to make u hungry or thirsty, or to make u buy more food and drink at the retail shops when u alight. Hope u see that.

 

[diversifyx2]

You are responsible for yourself, you know you are hungry, eat first before boarding any form of public transport........ dont fucking KPKB when kena caught haha

 

[scroobal]

She still thinks she did no wrong despite what the Police told her.

 

[Ash007]

I do, hence the point of not making a mess. I have been told by station staff not to eat sweet in the train. That is being overtly excessive! It is different from making a mess on the train.

MRT officals behave like MIWs - see nothing, hear nothing, smell nothing, say nothing. Just collect pay from taxpayers' money.

Um.... Why SPF is always extremely patient with aliens? Apply high handedness to citizens. Must be direct instructions from LKY.

To put the spurs on our hides perhaps.
