司机拍摄醉酒女乘客放上网,遭德士公司解雇

日前一名康福德高(ComfortDelgro)的德士司机拍摄没付钱的醉酒女乘客,并将视频放上网,结果遭康福德高终止合约。 康福德高企业有限公司集团联络总监陈爱玲昨日(15日)表示对于司机处理的方式无法谅解,并已终止他的聘雇合约。 “我们已经和乘客取得联系,并向他转达我们的调查结果”,她表示。 视频于周日(14日)上传到脸书各大网页中,从视频课件司机不停重复询问乘客缴付车费,两人都站在车子外。 司机在莱佛士一号载了该名乘客后,因疑似乘客拒绝付钱,便对着乘客拍摄并说,“我会让你出名”。 而该名乘客在视频中看得出脚步不稳,而且不停重复她想要付款。她试图从后侧拿出包包,但包包却不在车上。 “你在浪费我的时间。你浪费了大家的时间。”司机说道。“我已经报警,叫警察来处理了。” 对此,陈爱玲也说,“我们也希望借此机会提醒我们的德士司机,在遇到醉酒及拒付车资的乘客时,勿自行处理,而是应该报警并通知公司,我们将尽力协助他们。” 视频被上传到新加坡华人华语网,已被转发逾1300次。针对司机的行为,网友表示不太认同,谴责司机不应将视频上载至网络进行公审。部分网友认为女乘客是遗失包包,并不是有意不付钱 网友 Patrick Chng:…

马国交通部:两国同意将新柔捷运项目再展延至10月31日

马来西亚交通部昨日(29日)发文宣布,马国及新加坡两国同意,新柔捷运系统(RTS)计划在无需任何附加费用之下,将再展延一个月至10月31日才做出定夺。 我国交通部长许文远和马交长陆兆福,曾于今年5月21日宣布两国将签署新柔捷运(RTS)补充协议,将该计划展延至今年9月30日。不过,马方也因此需附上60万新元的延期费用。 据了解,本次已是大马第六次展延,在此前,该项计划早前已经五度延期,分别是展延至2018年9月份、12月份、今年2月份、3月31日,以及9月30日。延期主要原因为马方需检讨该项目的可行性和成本。 据马国媒体报道,马方认为之前协议中提到的价格过高,因为搭乘柔佛往新加坡一趟是15令吉(约5新元)。 如果两国确定终止计划,马方亦需赔偿我国6千600万新元。 新柔捷运跨越柔佛海峡连接柔佛和我国的地铁线路,旨在解决两国日常交通阻塞问题,该线长达43公里,共设31站。 马方需为该计划承担40亿令吉(约13亿3000万新元)费用,其余60巴仙费用则由我国承担。该捷运原定于2024年投入运作。除此之外,马方也需面对包括征地赔偿等费用,无形中加重该国政府的成本负担。
