My PHV driver friends say the root cause of these incidents are CECAkroaches bringing stress to drives(like being late, smelly, Yaya attitude , talk loud, talk endlessly on the phone, demanding, etc) that eventually the effects and frustrations spillover onto Sinkies.

You are Indian, I am Chinese, you are the very worst': Private-hire driver caught in racist tirade against passenger

private-hire driver has come under fire for his racist rant against a passenger, over the issue of a child seat requirement for her child.

A video recording of the altercation was posted by TikTok user Rhiley36746 on Sunday (Sept 24), and reposted on Wakeupsingapore's Instagram account, with a caption stating that "this Tada driver was being racist to my aunty and younger cousin".

It is not clear when the incident occurred.


The clip, which stretches for over a minute, begins as the ride is already in progress. The driver can be heard stating in broken English: "Your baby is less than 1.35m tall, I already give you a chance."

The passenger tries to explain that her daughter is nine years old and 1.37m in height, but the driver clapped back. "You don't argue with me, the metre is 1.35 only," he retorted, growing increasingly agitated.

When the passenger then remarked, "Ok, complain," the man countered: "Complain is good. Because you are very illegal."

Illegal for what, uncle?" Asked the female passenger, to which the man appeared to indicate that she had asked him to "go the other way" in the wrong direction.

That's when the conversation went further south.

Continuing his tirade, the driver told the passenger "Don't haolian" (show-off in Hokkien), before hollering: "You are Indian.. I am Chinese, people know that you are Indian, I am Chinese, you are the very...worst customer."

Obviously taken aback by the sudden outburst, the passenger could be heard letting out an audible, "Wah."

'You trying to be funny with me': Driver

The passenger proceeds to inform the driver that she is Singaporean-Eurasian, but still the driver did not back down, stating: "No worry… I know you Indian. I'm Chinese, you try to be funny with me."

"Regardless, there are Singaporean-Indians by the way… You are racist," the passenger retorted.

"I'm just a driver only, nothing to do with you," said the man shortly before the clip ends.

The video has swiftly gone viral, garnering over 300 comments on the version posted by Wakeupsingapore.

A majority of commenters decried the actions of the driver and called for the man to be fired.

We do not tolerate racism, discrimination, or abuse of any kind. Our team is investigating this issue. Thanks everyone who brought this to our attention."

AsiaOne has contacted Tada and Rhiley36746 for comment.

This is not the first altercation to have erupted between a Tada driver and passenger over the requirement for children below 1.35m to sit on a booster seat.

Earlier in June, another altercation had erupted between a Tada driver and a mother who did not wish to fork out an additional $2 for a booster seat for her child.

All this happened because LTA had stupid rules for child seats for youngsters under 1.35m. This rule doesn't apply to taxis, but PHV is not exempted. That is why the driver got pent-up frustration.

It's a compliment to say someone is an Indian, especially CECA Indian.

It means you are a talent; it means you have a well-paid job; it means you are good in IT and etc.... and all at the expense of local born Singaporeans.

It's not racist; it's paying compliments.
